Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art.

As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky?

This was “The Maid” by Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, from 1862

Two photos. The left shows me, in a red shirt with a white blouse under it, a daisy flower crown in my hair, a navy blue knee length skirt, and brown flat, holding a tray and drinking from a champagne flute. The right painting is a woman in a red shirt with white cuffs, a dark green ankle length skirt, a maid cap, brown shoes, holding a tray and drinking from a champagne flute.

Oh that would certainly do it. I’d be near comatose if I had to deal with all of that at the same time. I salute you!

It’s so depressing when you think about how many awful people there are out in the world.

Agree with you on the weird choices. I’ve only followed them peripherally, but nothing they’re doing as of late is making me want to care about them. I think I’m good not jumping on their bandwagon.

Good call! I wish there was a better way of filtering out world chaos from people’s personal updates. Muted words helps a lot, but doesn’t catch everything.

Me too 🙃

Yeah I definitely haven’t been up for much of anything spontaneous as of late. I’ll go to some shows if they were planned in advance, but anything more than that just seems kinda exhausting.

Is anyone else just kinda tired and burnt out of… everything?

I feel like I’ve been so much more anti-social the past several months. I just want to curl up on a couch and not deal with anything 🙃

I don’t have nearly that amount, but I have a whole closet full of tubs of stuff that I really should get rid of and haven’t had the heart to part with yet.

I have absolutely no regrets about my tubal ligation. I feel like I am barely holding it together most days. Add a kid to all this?? No thank you.

I feel overwhelmed just looking at that

Seems like a good strategy to me!

While BlueSky isn’t great (hence people like Mark), it certainly doesn’t make me miss Twitter in the slightest.

Gina @perilinpink.bsky.social · 2h

So many trolls creeping out of their caves. Go back to Twitter where ya belong dudes 🙃

Thank you! They’re actually very comfy too!
