I just want a cutie pie who smells good and wants to take midday naps, then go get ice cream and paddleboard as they repeatedly try to touch my bum — after that, go for a nice sunset bike ride until it gets too dark to see, then don masks and burn this motherfucker down & kiss between tossing 🔥 🍾 💥.

I did.
I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along.
Really scary stuff.

For these men, their faux masculinity is a maladaptive neurodivergent imitation of what their brains think masculinity is — an observation-based perception of social behaviors.
But due to ND social stunting, they lack healthy male role models AND are *also* surrounded by similarly inept men.

*I* am autistic, so I mirrored, imitated and adopted some crazy behaviors that looked ‘normal’ or ‘fun’ based solely on my own ‘sentient alien cow in a field’ experience: I didn’t know how to human, so I just copied behaviors I saw in movies and on TV.
That’s what they’re doing, too! 🤯

After carefully watching the antics of Musk, Zuck, Kanye & my ex, I no longer believe that toxic masculinity exists — I think it’s a *TOXIC EXPRESSION* of ✨FAUX MASCULINITY✨.
And it’s because they’re all neurodivergent, too — they’ve made it obvious for me, because I too am ADHD and autistic. 🥰

I also think the ‘toxic’ term has led to confusion — people (mostly men) assume that we’re labeling all masculinity as toxic. I think ‘faux masculinity’ is just more appropriate as it describes the full scope of the issue far more clearly, like calling a rubber snake ‘fake’.

The term ‘toxic masculinity’ leaves little room for repair of that person’s inner wounds or even any future harm reduction for them or other people, because we’ve already branded them as ‘toxic’.
That doesn’t help or solve or heal anyone or anything, nor does it bridge the rifts built.

Faux masculinity also isn’t ALWAYS toxic — it’s an individual choice, in fact, and can faux masculinity can be healed.
‘Toxic masculinity’ is straight-up damnation: it’s both judgment and sentence of an individual who is hurting and acting out in an attempt to solve their inner conflict.

Just as scientists stopped using the term ‘global warming’ in favor of ‘climate change’, we really need to stop using ‘toxic masculinity’ and start calling it what it is: faux masculinity.

I see way too many people talking about a general strike, and far too few people speaking of a tax strike.
You want real change?! KEEP YOUR DAMN MONEY.
Watch how fast shit changes.
If even everyday Americans stopped paying taxes, it would cripple them.

All I’m saying is that if everyone posted about and did absolutely unhinged shit on a daily basis, there A: aren’t enough cops, tax agencies, ICE agents, etc to even *touch* the amount of mayhem that would happen and B: they would drown in frustration.
But y’all don’t wanna talk about absurdities.

“Prosecute ICE” isn’t enough — I want to see “hunt ICE agents for sport” gain some fucking popularity… because that’s what they’re doing to people on US soil now. They’re hunting people for sport now.
JUST SO WE’RE ALL FUCKING CLEAR ON WHAT THIS IS.

At this point "Abolish ICE" isn't enough. "Prosecute ICE" is the *bare minimum* of what should be done to these ghouls
I will vote for any Democrat who promises to prosecute any ice agent who detains or arrests anyone illegally.

You know what would probably worry ICE agents the most?? If THEIR families were tracked down and harassed and bricks showed up through THEIR living room windows and folks started smashing THEIR car windows.

It’s honestly so awesome (and so damn annoying, lol) to spend months trying to get something done ‘right’ or ‘properly’ only to have push come to shove and realize that no, actually, a 20-minute Zoom+ care visit DID IN FACT SOLVE THE WHOLE ENTIRE PROBLEM.
… sometimes, I make things so complicated.
