The Comment Awards Are Taking 15 Minutes To Breathe

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

Remember egg timers? Are those still a thing? Either way, today, I want you to get out or open a timer (hopefully it’s an egg timer, and it was your grandma’s, and you bought it for her for her birthday during your first year of college, and it’s shaped like a chicken), and set it for 15 minutes. Until the bell rings, I want you to close Twitter, or your doomscrolling app of choice, and drink an entire glass of water, and breathe deeply.

I’ll do it too. Ready?

Well done. 💙

  1. The adorable pitfall is my favorite this week!

    And I feel this weirdly proprietary pride in the comment and award because I @-d queergirl with an enthusiastic “Comment Award!” comment

  2. So instead of getting an egg timer (which I don’t have) and being still for 15 minutes, I got distracted and wanted to tell you about the egg and soldiers I had this week. And I realised I didn’t have an egg cup so had to cut out a section of the egg box it came in. What I’m saying is, I’m in the market for an egg cup, any suggestions? Matching egg timer also a bonus.

  3. The spacebar counter is found at the most reduced of the console or character-at-a-time printer in an incredibly even line. You realize a space bar counter is an astonishing apparatus, which assists you with finding how regularly you press the space bar on your console. Our subsequent counter instrument will assist you with boosting your tapping speed.
