Gay? Depressed? Here Are Ten Profoundly Healing Clips of Bert and Ernie to Get You Through the Day

beachdeath:

If you’re like me, you’re gay and you have depression. And if you’re like me, you’ve come up with a few ways to cope with the day-to-day blues. Maybe you go for walks in the park. Maybe you soak in a bubble bath. Maybe you listen to “This Year” by the Mountain Goats on repeat and bask in John Darnielle’s triumphant howling until your will to live has been restored to you.

Today’s coping mechanism? Plowing through the Sesame Street vault and watching as many clips of Bert and Ernie as I can get my gay, depressed hands on.
