Some days you have a breakdown and then get to be silly and do improvised Shakespeare and other nonsense and life feels a little less bleak

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

An unfortunate side effect of not doing a hobby for nearly a year is that some of your stuff dries up and becomes unusable when it's well past shops closing time
