If life has been feeling a lot more bleak lately, rest assured you are not alone. Studies show that depression in US adults has tripled since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic - with women bearing the brunt of that dismal statistic. While hardcore lockdowns may feel like a thing of the past, the symptoms of our international struggle aren't about to just disappear. We're battling some serious pain and anxiety - and that takes a lot of time to heal. We can't offer the world therapy or medication to assuage its suffering, we can try to perk people up with some wholesome and affirming memes. Think of them as a reminder that it's not all bad, and that together we'll be able to get through this. 

Happy Tuesday to Lord of the Rings fans only! We're back with your weekly serving of memes about Tolkien's beloved universe and the movies it inspired. This week the focus is on the Fellowship trilogy, and as usual, the laughs are mostly dumb. We've got the obligatory post-Super Bowl Weeknd sh*tpost, a mask-related meme that gives Gollum a very Karen makeover, and lots more referential stupidity. If you find yourself craving more Tolkien-y goodness, you can check out some of our previous lists here and here.

There's no getting around it: the world is going through it. From protests around the USA to the coronavirus pandemic, things are looking and feeling bleak as hell. While these memes and posts won't solve any of the problems plaguing the globe, they do have the potential to improve your mood and remind you that there is still some good in the world. And that counts for something.

If you're feeling down in the dumps or you just need a quick reminder that life isn't out to get you, there's no better person to turn to than Bob Ross. The Boss of Wholesome may have passed years ago (RIP) but his life-affirming, smile-inducing quotes live forever. 

If you want some more happy tree content, check out these Bob Ross memes we put together. 

As another terrible Tuesday comes to an end, let us give thanks to the good stuff we take for granted. Good tunes. Having toilet paper. Being able to leave the house. Not having to buy exorbitantly priced hand sanitize. And memes. During times of trouble, it's easy to forget how integral memes are for our mental health. So here's a bunch of random posts that made us smile. Keep your chins up, buddies.
