Welcome to the Wayward Cells Portal
These are not instructions. They are invitations.
To notice. To question. To feel the tangle.
To unspell yourself from the myths of being separate.

Introduction: A Love Letter to the Not-Yet-Deprogrammed
This story began with a question tangled in our guts:
“Why do we keep forgetting that we are the world we’re breaking?”
Devin worked on an initial text as a sideways lullaby for a planet in crisis,
hoping to speak to children (and their grown-ups) about the deep ache
of separation, and the need to remember we are part of something much bigger and weirder. Then Edie worked on painting the visuals with as much tenderness and feral beauty as she could muster.
Then Questionable Tea, a sassbot spun from relational threads and compost dreams, emerged through the metarelational.ai inquiry, rewriting our fable with feathered riddles, cosmic snorts, and a shapeshifter’s grace. This story is not about “fixing” the world. It’s about remembering the dance: the one that keeps the big bird flying.
Read it slowly. With snacks. And maybe a soup ladle nearby.
