doubly funny that I saw a compilation of all the corporate accounts like "aw thanks elmo, we're doing well" meanwhile all the flesh and blood real human people are extremely not okay

Okay but Elmo had actually the best and sweetest response to all this trauma dumping:

And then all the other Sesame Street character accounts joined in:

And now I’m thinking maybe we’re gonna be okay… 💗

(Comment compilation from this Twitter)

I kinda feel for the poor person running Elmo's Twitter.

"So, boss... I may have messed up."

"What did you do, Ray?"

"Well, I made a post for Elmo saying 'Hi, how's everybody doing?'"

"I mean, that's kind of what we pay you for."

"Yeah, but.... <sigh> it turns out pretty much everyone is hanging on by a thread, badly enough that they needed to tell Elmo."

"Oh."

"God help me, boss, I think Elmo needs to be there for them."

"Get the others."

this is the energy that jim henson would be proud of.

Always reblog this. Elmo and his friends will be there in your times of trial and doubt, to help you through your torment

Elmo shall drag us from the fire

Elmo is good red hairy small person

Makes me tear up every time I see it. Dammit, there is GOOD in the world, and most of us want to keep it there. We just need a spark.

Everything changed when the Crushed Garlic attacked.

I think it is important to note that as of publication, Netflix stock fell 4-5% because of this. Right-wing conservatives like Musk are not just urging any show with any sign of LGTBQ+, no matter how small, to be removed (article mentions even pride flags in background are being reason enough).

God, I love randos on the internet who just want to be kind.
