It's SELFIE SUNDAY, Bluetopia! Today I celebrate SIX THOUSAND FOLLOWERS (give or take a few). You know what THAT means: A 4 PANEL SELFIE POST! It IS, after all, TRADITION. Who am I to fuck with tradition? Besides, I'll take any excuse to do this. This account is Narcissism Central, after all.🥸

Me, sweaty & exhausted on a break from a morning run this week. OR AM I GLOWING? Hair a mess - took it out of the ponytail and the hat for the selfie - what I do for love. Not fond of direct sunlight, it shows all my wrinkles & pores, but FUCK IT, I'm 56 & look pretty fucking good regardless. Didn't think so A YEAR AGO when I joined Bluesky (my anniversary is July 4th, darling Bluetopians, can you believe that shit?)... A year ago, selfies were anathema to me, photos of me in general were something I avoided like the proverbial Covid. HATED seeing myself in photographic form. In mirrors, for that matter. For an actress, that's rather ironic, I know, for I am nothing if not a classic narcissist, at least when it comes to my looks. Don't ask, it's an absurd paradox. Self-centered self-loathing. A piece of shit around which the world revolves. Dysmorphia, but obsessed. An anorexic who thinks about nothing but food. Nothing too unique about that, really. Progress has been made, however.🥰

Pulling on the collar of an ill-conceived choice of clothing for a run on a VERY humid morning; thin fabric or not, a black long-sleeved hoodie, even at 6am, is NOT GREAT, BOB. The placid look on my face belies the great discomfiture I feel at the moment the camera snaps. That's JUST HOW GOOD AN ACTRESS I AM, darlin'. The sun rising behind the trees over the fence just past my left shoulder looks great, huh? In the past couple years since I began these daily treks (which started with one 5 minute MS-riddled struggle to the end of my block, with a WALKER), I've become more adept at taking INTERESTING pictures. I started taking them at the suggestion of a friend who thought it might distract me from the pain & boredom discouraging me as each day I moaned on Facebook about how much it HURT & how HARD & LONELY & BORING my morning walks were... All 15 minutes of them, at first. Then 20, 30, 45...Till last fall, when they became hour-long, 5 mile runs. VICTORY!🥳

Stopping in the middle of a walk in the middle of a street to take a fucking selfie staring up into your camera isn't exactly the SMARTEST thing to do, genius, especially wearing AirPods blasting AC/DC, even if your Mona Lisa smile IS beatific as fuck. Well, I was feeling myself last week; I alternate days walking & running now, since overdoing it a while back & being forced to go on bedrest for a while; scared the shit out of me. NO WAY will I return to living in bed. Did it for the better part of a DECADE when MS was at its worst; the meds I'm on have put me in what is, basically, remission - & I refuse to let that go to waste. So... MODERATION it is. Which includes diet; I lost 100 pounds over the last two years, & that was fucking hard... Almost as hard was admitting I'd GAINED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. Lying in bed immobilised by pain for a decade, after a lifetime of anorexia? Easy to get fat. Nevertheless, I FEEL SHAME. Of course. I am FEMALE ON EARTH.😡

Me in one of my Very Large Hats last week, standing outside my Dark Blue Front Door, wearing a Dark Blue Sundress, looking Very Self-Satisfied. Why am I capitalising everything? Oh, why the fuck not? I'm actually FOUR FOLLOWERS SHORT of that 6K mark, you know. I'm prematurely jubilating. What can I say - I'm just a WILD & CRAZY RULE BREAKER. So. Here we are. And in a couple weeks, I celebrate my Bluesky 1st birthday, anniversary, whatever. Where WILL life have taken me by then? Will I be a sobbing mess because of some tragic love affair that's all taken place in that liminal space of the soundwave & cyber age? A raging typhoon of righteous fury over the latest right wing fuckitude? A despondent Eeyore, certain we're all doomed & there's no point to any of this? Or will I be my usual perky Pollyanna self, quick with a chirpy, cheerful, chipper greeting for one & all as I maniacally REPOST everything I've ever written or slapped together here...? Tune in & see, my darlings.Till then...😎

Aaaand... THERE IT IS. 6000 Followers on June 23rd, 2024. I'M SO SPECIAL. What's it mean? Aside from the fact there are evidently THOUSANDS of insane people on Bluesky... It means I can get into the backstage area of Bluesky ANYTIME I WANT, motherfuckers. HAH! Jealous?

Always shocks me to hear someone HASN'T been reading my ALT Text. Like... why are you HERE? That's where the JUICE is, baby.

ALT Text: CLICK THE IMAGE. There’s text beneath it. CLICK THE TEXT- the entire text appears. That’s how this works.

I may have to wait a bit...I've been growing my hair out and it has changed my appearance somewhat.
