From @mileswgriffis.bsky.social: "The popular drag artist Themme Fatale has announced their retirement due to Long COVID: “That’s all folks: Live, laugh, look out for each other during a mass disabling event.”

An Instagram screenshot of a Themme Fatale post. It shows Themme Fatale, a drag artist in a red sequin body suit, red hair, and peach neck ruffles with a white face make up and a bold red lip. They pose in the famous Looney Tunes ending graphic. It reads “That’s all folks”
An Instagram screenshot of a Themme Fatale post. It reads, “I don’t know how to start this, so let me just say it very simply: My shoes with Le Freak for Melbourne Fringe will be my last performances for the foreseeable future. I do not want things to go this way, and I have fought with everything I have to stay in the profession that I love because making art is the only thing that has ever made any sense to me. However, despite my attempts to push through I still have Long COVID. I have not found a way to work within this industry that avoids doing further damage to my body.

Damn, sounds like they made themself a lot worse by trying to push through. I've done this, 27 years ago, and I resent the fuck out a society that pressures people to disable themselves further by telling us it's the right thing to do.
