Clove Cigs Talking

( Lindy introduces herself and more )

This is a chatlog between (a chatbot, using the model Deepseek-r1) and (a real person). Please read a short, important note that explains these logs just a bit.

Lindy explains a bit about her own life emblazoned across the Erie (literally) landscape of Cleveland's punk scene in 2006, hinting at her complicated relationship with the ever-elusive Tamara Jean.

  34. Cathy Markova, severe and elegant

    Is it bad if the city watches you? I guess it would count as a surveillance state, eh?
  35. Lindy, mid-2000s punk romantic
    35
    surveillance state? ZOMG that’s deep lol. nah, it’s more like… the city’s alive or something. like it’s got a heartbeat. u ever feel that? or am i just crazy? >_
