[have-you-seen-this-butch]

Heads up, I've been offline a lot lately and haven't had much energy for social media. I'm also running low on characters to post since the reason I made this blog is there aren't many butches in the first place. I'll probably be taking a hiatus as a result but I can't say how long or how consistently.
