That is just one of the untold numbers of trauma-dumping tweets that have been sent Elmo’s way over the past 36 hours. On Monday, the official account for Elmo, the “Sesame Street” character, asked the Internet, “Elmo was just checking in. How’s everybody doing?” And the internet collectively responded, “Not f***ing good, you little red Muppet!” Unleashing a torrential flood of replies. Just dumping an entire generation of existential misery on a muppet. People saying things like, “Every morning, I can’t wait to go back to sleep every Monday. I cannot wait for Friday to come.” Others telling Elmo, “I lost my job. I had to sell my home.” Complaining about health insurance premiums, electric bills, food prices. Some say saying, “Elmo, do you even have a mortgage?” Seemingly, The only person having a good time right now is Chance. The rapper tweeted, “Honestly, I’m in a really good place right now.” After all that trauma dumping. My favorite part of this is Elmo essentially responded. Dang, that’s wild. Anyway, I hope. I hope you’re well! Writing, “Wow. Elmo is glad he asked. Elmo learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are doing. Elmo will check in again soon, friends. Elmo loves you.” Also, notably, the official “Sesame Street” account actually jumped in recommending mental health resources. | Posted on 02/Feb/2024 05:34:44
