Kite breaks up the smartphone into pieces, creating a set of building
blocks that you can use to create any device that needs the features of a
smartphone: high performance in a battery powered mobile form factor,
augmented by complete connectivity and great multimedia features.
Kite empowers anyone to build a smartphone with nothing more than a
3D printer and a screwdriver. Kite’s architecture allows anyone to
build the devices of their dreams by changing the casing, antennas,
batteries, and adding custom electronics.
If you are a DIY enthusiast, Kite gives you the never-before opportunity
to put together your own Smartphone. For the Maker in you, Kite and
your “maker” expertise easily helps you build bespoke phones using
off-the-shelf components. And for the wizards of custom ROMs, Android,
3D Printing, the Raspberry Pi and related worlds, Kite is your open
smartphone platform for innovation!
NORMALIZE the thing that looks like an old man living in your basement
DESTIGMATIZE the act of closing your vent to stop his dry whispering– which you cannot tell whether it is random or directed at you– from reaching you
ROMANTICIZE the idea of counting the number of stairs he climbs each night and praying he never makes it to the top

we HAVE to let people know its okay to experience:
being repulsed by the putrid smell of his bile
feeling sick when seeing your grandparents because of the thing in your basement
locking your bedroom door even though you know it wouldnt be enough to stop him
letting your faucets run for a few seconds every morning because ever since he arrived more and more of your tap water had come out black as ink
knowing exactly what he looks like even though the only time you ever saw him was your first encounter with him at your uncle’s funeral when you were 6
questioning why youre the only one who remembers your dog
why cant anyone else remember your dog
what happened to your dog
oh my god i can still hear him whimpering downstairs some nights
i dont know if its actually him or just that thing taunting me

whale mouths smell so good fish just swim right in there
mice get pregnant from eating salt and their stomachs contain gold
snakes are very often drawn with wings and feet and are indistinguishable from depictions of dragons
pelicans kill their babies and then bring them back to life by cutting open their own chest and letting the babies drink the blood. every depiction of a pelican looks nothing like a pelican and shows them doing this. I have no clue what the bloodletting bird is meant to be or where they got this from.
hyenas aren’t known for their laugh but their ability to change genders
