If you see this repost this with your model of positive masculinity.
Black and white photograph of Navy Lieutenant and future President of the USA Jimmy Carter from 1952, when he was responsible for averting a serious nuclear accident and took great personal risk. Portrait of President Carter, a white man with blond hair fading to white. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and striped tie and seated on an ornate chair. The expression on his face is thoughtful, perhaps a bit tired, and also kind.

lol why not - for what it’s worth I think I’m right in the middle, but people tend to either find me very intimidating or very fluffy and soft and not intimidating at all, so I don’t know.
Twitter post dated 2/1/20 from user saerodynamic that says: quote rt this with how intimidating YOU think you are in a scale of 1-10 and let other people reply to it with how intimidating THEY think you are.

Show a moment from TV/film that broke your heart...

(I know this one might not quite count since it's mixed with actual news footage, but still.)

The candlelight march scene in Milk, street full of marchers as far as can be seen.

A film that takes place where you're from - well, parts of it do, and it's one of my all time favorites, so it's what you get! Fun fact: my mom worked at the museum next to the transit station where Reggie picks up the Hansons.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ri...
Album cover of the Richard Marx album Repeat Offender. Marx is a white guy with 80s feathery brown hair wearing a leather jacket, white t-shirt, blue jeans and some kind of boots. He's holding onto some kind of pole and there are what look like old stone buildings in the background. His name and the album title are in all caps in the upper right corner in a blue that almost matches his jeans.

In the end, there can be only one!
Freddie Mercury in the iconic yellow jacket over white shirt and white pants with red stripes, one arm raised overhead in a fist, the other holding a microphone at his waist.

Okay, I'll bite. Let's talk about this that I saw on the bird site. Both sets of my grandparents were the "families" referred to here, both of my parents were the kids who went to college.

Me at 12. Short hair because swimmer. I hated that I couldn't get a perm during peak Big Hair fashion, again because swimmer. Tried to compensate for that by wearing the frilliest things I could find that were remotely in fashion, which was kind of an odd combo really.

post a *perfect* album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or alice in chains.
