There is so much beautiful philosophy in this piece. Also, regarding the general mythology of Honor Levy, how did it all come to be?

TY. I'm not sure. I guess this was the long story short. But yes Honor Levy is, perhaps, a mythological creature of the internet but things on the internet get stopped, or something, so stopping becomes interesting, the most unstoppable ones become most interesting when they stop (((Walt and Honor both (((but really they never stopped)))))))--but there is also just a long and secret history of Honor accounts and multiple burners/alts anyone can find by digging around, I will write about them more in part 2, maybe even today. I just think the Internet is a living being or was, or can be, so that's one way of looking at it, and Honor Levy was and is internet girl trying to capture the whole thing. You must know lowiqhonorlevy on tiktok right? If not, go spend two hours there.

I appreciate your kind and thoughtful reply! I am more aware of her literary stuff like poetry upcoming My First Book. I know of her artful posting on IG from your past writings. I’ll def check out the tiktok acct too, Tysm!

This was an insightful read now that >>>My First Book<<< has come out. Not sure if my Twitterphobic mind can vibe with everything that has been said in here, but there's something about Levy's work, and this post, that speaks to the core of what it means to engage in online mimesis. Aka, posting. Shitposting, doomposting, posting for the sake of it. Do these things mean anything at all? Or just >words that exist but don't explain any concepts that exist anymore.

The aesthetics of "New Nostalgia" is a better way to describe this phenomenon than something like post-internet. Whatever that means.
