    I’m crying, and I’m not ashamed of it.

    I have a para-social relationship with an Internet cartoonist and his life partner, that part I’m kinda ashamed of, but the tears are genuine happiness, and have I really been following him for over 15 years? There’s some sadness in those tears, but they’re covered by the happy ones

    Back in my day, webcomics weren’t all fuzzy like reading through tears!

      Same! Who’s responsible for this degradation in image quality?!

    XKCD has a few of these tear jerkers that rank as some of my favorite all time strips

      For all the popularity they have for their comedic and science strips, they also put out some really good emotional ones.

  For those who may not know, Randall Munroe is the author of XKCD.

  From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Munroe :

  In October 2010, Munroe’s fiancée was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer; there had been no prior family history.[51][52] The emotional effect of her illness was referenced in the comic panel “Emotion”, published 18 months later in April 2012.[53] In September 2011, he announced that they had married.[54] In November 2012, Munroe published a comic entitled “Two Years”, reflecting on their relationship since his wife’s breast cancer diagnosis.[55] He revisited the subject in December 2017 with a comic entitled “Seven Years”[56], in November 2020 in a comic entitled “Ten Years”[57], and again in November 2025 in a comic entitled “Fifteen Years”.[58]

    I’ve been a fan of xkcd for almost 15 years myself. Randall seems like such a genuinely great person and I cry with the happies a little bit every time there’s another comic on how long they’ve had together after the diagnosis.

  My SO and I celebrated an anniversary of sorts earlier this month and we always take a selfie at some point. I looked at us and saw we got old

  It made me so sad that we have so little time here together

    My husband has stopped joking about his hair growing distinguished and started admitting it’s turning grey.

    Now I feel old.

  As we notice we’re getting older (I’m still sort of young, honest!), my partner and I like to remind each other that aging is a privilege. I really hope we get to grow old together.

  It makes me happy that they’re both still here.

  Heartbreaking.

  And imagine that we could reverse aging, so even those joints would not hurt. With more investments into biogerontology we could do that. Please, consider signing up the #DublinLongevityDeclaration to request more funds to such research 👇 dublinlongevitydeclaration.org
