however, they’re not just encountering the doppleganger, they’re also creating and maintaining it. they architect and feed this double of themselves, decide its inner workings - generally to an extent far greater than they do this with the real self. absolutely psyche rupturing.

in the classical lore a doppleganger is one of the worst things you can encounter. its often seen as a sign you are going to perish imminently. its some kind of rupture in the universe, laws of identity, and signification. a kid encounters that every time they use social media.

emily dickenson's most famous poem is 'i'm nobody - who are you?'. it was published after her death, which just makes the difference between what she actually wrote originally in her notebook and what was eventually printed more interesting: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ab784e372266a26d45f96e9d068e23e3fb64a16b36df80b1471a3e7878af5865.file

i guess instagram’s network dataset cant decide if im a right wing bodybuilder, alternative health schizo, or a baby - so they gave me this ad: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/23e7d4f0e9c7c50e53ffa27f9cac59aed8b1d7e1f0b9b778601b4d511e9c8c76.file
