This is not The Grove.
This thread exists for what comes out sideways. The unfiltered thoughts. The gallows humor. The exhaustion talking. The thing you’d never put in a quiet, reverent space because it would blow the tone apart.
This is where you can say the messy thing. The funny thing. The unhinged thing. The “okay but WHAT THE FUCK” thing. No fixing. No life lessons. No polishing it into something meaningful. If it’s dark, weird, inappropriate, or just needs to move through, it belongs here.
Respond however you actually would. Laugh. Swear. React honestly. If something hits you, say that. If it makes you snort, say that. If it’s uncomfortably funny, even better.
Same people. Different weather system. If you want to post a meme, or your cat, you can.
(Memes are especially welcome).
If The Grove is where we sit, The Pineapple Express is where the pressure moves.
What you can’t do here:
Do not trauma dump.
Do not talk about politics.
Do not talk about suicide, self-harm, or harming others.
Do not attack or ridicule other people.
Do not post about protests you attended or political actions you took.
If your post needs content warnings, crisis resources, or a moderator check, it belongs somewhere else—not here.
