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.

It’s so bizarre. I care about none of this, but these dudes are just going off.

It makes more sense to criticize the arrival of the English and the 200 years afterward when the Americans murdered the indigenous people of those lands, right?

I find this reading of history curious.
For example, Spain was completely invaded several times by Greeks and Phoenicians, then the Roman Empire, then the Alans, the Suevi, the Vandals, the Goths, the Visigoths, etc. Later, the Muslim kingdoms of North Africa (the Fatimid Caliphate,

the Almoravid Empire, the Almohad Empire, the Ziyanids... Even in 1800, Spain was invaded by Napoleon.
But we don't hate those who invaded us because we are their descendants. It's part of our history.

This is true. I’m not going to subject my search history/algorithms to it, but I would not be shocked in the least if there’s some weird Christopher Columbus porn out there somewhere 😂

So many blocks. Dudes need to find something better to do with their time than jacking off to long dead explorers

Some dude who keeps insisting we need to honor explorers. His last post said:

And, in turn, nothing will happen to either of us if we choose TO acknowledge the feat Columbus had accomplished.
