Happy June! As we head into summer, we can look back at May and see what was what last month. Enjoy the heat folks, it is coming. Atlantic hurricane season started early. Monkeypox is upon the land. The world is crazy - stay in and read some stories instead.

Having said that, your Story of the Month for May is "The Diety of Dessert" by /u/fluffyclamshell. She is one of our favorite authors anyway, so we are glad to see her writing. You may have custom flair (contact that moderation team) and your story has been gilded.

Our Runner Up for May is "The proudest ass-chewing I ever received" by /u/BigSkyMountains. You may have custom flair (contact that moderation team) and your story has been gilded.

Finally, our Honorable Mention for May is "Military Malicious Compliance - Identify yourself - don't mind if I do" by /u/Mr_CheeseGummyBear. You may have custom flair (contact that moderation team) and your story has been gilded.

Everyone stay safe, we will see you next month.

Q: How are winners chosen?

A: We look at upvotes, comment history, community awards/reddit awards and throw in a bit of the "arbitrary mods" rule. It isn't completely scientific, but it is close.
