The Comment Awards Are Getting Handsy for Pride

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

Happy Pride Month, my loves! I know that rainbow capitalism is fraught, but also: HERE IS MILO IN PRIDE LEG WARMERS. (Years ago, I vowed never to dress my dogs in clothes, but the amount of pure serotonin that I get from this…I guess people change!) I hope that these pictures bring you just as much joy as they are currently bringing me.
