The Comment Awards Are Reading The Room

A small, brown and white dog peeking over their laptop screen, with a caption that says "Hey did you see that comment?!"

Hey there hi there ho there, campers! I am very tired and as I write this, nothing about the US election has been decided. I hope that by the time you see it, we are celebrating! No matter what happens, we’ve been through the wringer, and I want to acknowledge that it has been a R O U G H week on top of a rough month on top of a rough four years. On top of a rough 300 years, really. But we’re here! We’re queer! And we’re together!
