Doubles, reflections, simulacra.
You are nothing more than the image others have made of you.

To us they’re just circuits. But to themselves... they live just as we do. They build roads, listen to music.

So, I have this problem called "I like writing tropes, but I never write them the 'normal' way"?
For instance, I wrote a soulmates romance, but I hate the way soulmates/fated mates often means the characters have no choice but to be together, so I scrapped that & they have full autonomy about it.

Fascinating stuff in Guinean archives. A report from 1916 of a chief, Tirno Ibrahim, who had pictures of the Ottoman Sultan, his son and Empress Augusta of Germany pinned on the wall of his home. He claimed a trader told him they were Joseph (Youssoufou), the prophet and Fatima. They believed him.

It will never *not* be hilarious that these twerps will reply to posts about literal assassination attempts -- as if they *actually* think mean words online intimidate me.

White House ‘can’t guarantee’ ICE won’t be at polls
The federal government has historically recognized polling places as off-limits for immigration enforcement precisely to avoid deterring lawful voters.

Kind of fun that these were in the first box of children's books I opened in *February*.
