i also did not realise until i transitioned just how limited men are in their means of self-expression. patriarchal rules dictate that lest ye be read as Womanly (or, god forbid, gay), you must strip back your aesthetic to the absolute bare minimum. in fact, it's probably best if you don't even know what "aesthetic" means, because aesthetics are definitely a little bit gay. there are so many unspoken rules. no fun hair colours or styles. no jewellery. no tight clothes. no bright hues. no hand gesturing while talking. no emotional, expressive manners of speech. no manicures. no dancing or singing. certain kinds of food and drink, certain scents, certain colours, are off limits. for so many people, the definition of masculinity is just... nothing. a blank slate. no wonder straight men are in such a state of fucking crisis

While I typically don’t care about rugby, this is an important moment, one of the things that’s been discussed for many years as a milestone we might eventually pass. For decades the All Blacks have been idealised as role models of Kiwi masculinity, so for any of them to say publicly that he’s gay is kind of a big deal.

(Women’s rugby meanwhile is simply teeming with lesbians, and good for them.)

Nice little sketch that took way too long to finish, I've been busy with work and doctors appointments. Kakuzu and Hidan having a squabble while Itachi comes to save the day. Kisame is on the sidelines laughing because Hidan is about to get his ass handed to him.

it's small but since I started going to the gym last week consistently (3x for at least 35-40 mins of cardio + some weights), I've lost 1.5lbs which isn't a lot but... baby steps.
