@vsundqvist.bsky.social Hi Viktoria, this shows Norwalk as a GOP-led town, but that’s not accurate. It should be light blue. Neat map, though!

In 2020, Arundhati Roy wrote a gorgeous, prescient essay called “The Pandemic is a Portal”. In this piece, I discuss who actually walked through it: the COVID conscious community, and why I’m proud to be a part of it.

The Pandemic Has Been a Portal (for a few of us)
It's true that most people keep choosing "normalcy". But the COVID conscious community is showing us a radical new way forward, that centers care

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?

I am donating. Why?
1. Because I am supporting Beth when she needs it most.
2. Because D did such amazing, hard work supporting those rescues
3. This acct, these ladies, those animals carried me through the madness that was “The Pandemic.” For a #HCW it means everything. Will you join me?

We are really up against it crew. Twitter, our home and base of operations has gone to sh*t. We need to rebuild. Can you all help share and help us find all the followers we lost?

Wanted to say hello. Many of you know us from Twitter. As the mass exodus begins we will be found here and on other socials. I know many are out of sorts. Us included. I’ll be posting sanctuary animals to help soothe. Please share and comment. Let’s rebuild.

He wouldn't be shy.
And he'd oodle for each donation.
