my like to dislike ratio for grimes as an artist has been flipping since she got with musk but it has really taken a dive in the last year. the final straw is pretty much getting covid and saying she’s “weirdly enjoying the experience” like it’s a trip to the spa.

Grimes saying she’s “weirdly enjoying” getting COVID-19 is the least surprising thing of all time, to the point where I feel like it happened several times last year already
