Sometimes I think about the things that I would be offered as enrichment if I were in a human zoo

I think about what might be given to me generically, as just ‘human’, like the basic shit you give to any member of any animal type, but also the stuff I would get if being housed by actually attentive keepers. Do they notice how much happier I am and how strongly I respond to tools to make marks and colors over anything else?

Then I spiral a little and consider what stage of my life I was in captivity and how much that influences things and I need to dig myself out that neural tar pit before I blue screen, but MAN.

I think about it.
