Take a second and think before posting the easy Eeyore reply. You might have something substantive to say instead. Or, even better, you can say nothing at all.

i am being so serious and fr: i play balatro when i have panic attacks. works like a charm.
A reminder for neurotypical folks that if you’re experiencing trauma (primary or secondary), playing Tetris or another similar style game can help. I like matching games with home/garden renovating elements, myself.

hear me out. this kstew look (left) feels to me like a direct contradiction of these balenciaga spring 2026 looks (right). the problem is that the balenciaga shirt makes some attempt at replicating the flow of the feather skirt. there's a harmony of movement there. stew's proportions make no sense.

I'm told young folk are suddenly listening to wolf parade because of the gay hockey show, but as a guy who was a young folk in the early 2000s I am here to say that y'all will get way more mileage digging into the discography of Feist, who is also prominently featured in the gay hockey show
