Congrats @salonofshame.bsky.social of bringing us together for the past 20 years through the power of cringe.

A magnificent looking cake, with pink icing along the edges. The cake is decorated with pictures of the Salon of Shame organizers and the Salon of Shame unicorn. The cake says: thank you gentle nerds!

For their own 20th Anniversary, ToJ is throwing a benefit bash with performances from iconic TOJ alums (like our producer Yelahneb), a Filipino grazing board, and birthday-inspired auction items. They're still standing because of community support - so let's celebrate with a Big Damn BIRTHDAY Party!

Brought some of my middle/high school diaries over to have material for a @salonofshame.bsky.social‬ later this summer, and now my face has taken that as a cue to have an acne break out...
