What if masculinity wasn’t what we were taught to admire?
What if it was something quieter,
steadier,
and far more powerful?

when someone loves us for who we are,
not for our highlight reels,
not for our past,
and not for who they want us to be but:

The real,
unfiltered,
and sometimes ugly us.

yes,
the ugly us.
the one underneath the filters.
the one that has the demons and the insecurities.
when they don’t flinch or are embarrassed at our flaws.
the one who don’t play bout you and will square up if someone disrespects you.

You better hold on to them.
Tight. AF

i used to believe masculinity lived in the gym.
it was big biceps,
played sports,
and an intimidating stare.
some males,
sure,
but i’ve learned:

Just because someone looks like a man,
that doesn’t mean they act like one.

muscles don’t equal depth; a scowl doesn’t make you safe.
masculinity is not a role we play,
a script we memorize,
or photos we post.
it’s how we show up for ourselves and our loved ones,
especially when no one’s watching.
i thought about this when alex fine spoke out after cassie’s testimony yesterday…

jackals with horrible pasts have got to learn to shut the fuck up.
it is so weird seeing jackals with abuse/bad behavior behind them,
cosigning other people with abuse/bad behavior in front of them.
chris brown is always interjecting himself with tory lanez nonsense.
when he decided to put his fork down from eating his food to post ^that,
i have never seen such a fast turn around in “shoulda kept that fork in ya hand”.
he posted that may 14th and was arrested on the 15th.

according to “people“….

Oh,
Saquon,
was it worth it?

some people simply don’t understand the assignment.
either in life choices or for events.
nothing drives me crazy when it’s a themed event and people dress out of theme.

That’s like the time I went to a pajama party and people showed up in jeans.
Here I was,
wearing this fly Tommy Hilfiger pajama set I got on sale from Macys.
Only about five of us showed up dressed in the proper attire.

nfl baller jackal,
saquon barkley,
could have tried a little harder at the met gala.
he looks like he is wearing a leftover from the espys.
where is the white fiance?

his teammate,
jalen hurts,
didn’t have scheduling conflicts last night tho…

you know what i’ve learned being nosy in other people’s relationships?
well,
let me font you:

The audience can tell early on the relationships sucks.

sometimes,
it’s not hating.
we have eyes and working discernment.
we can tell when a relationship isn’t going to work,
when one person is doing the most on the highest of pick-me levels,
or we hear whispers of a cheating and ain’t shit partner in the Fox-vine.
this is why it’s good to keep your relationship private until it’s built on solid foundation.
even then…

an F-BI sent me a ton of alleged drops about steven beck and his husband,
1stkingdavid.
as you know,
or didn’t,
there were ( x rumors of a divorce on the horizon ).
an F-BI may have helped clear that right up…

i haven’t had a juicy sausage in a minute.
tbh,
i haven’t really been feeling meats all that much.
i’ve been highkey dealing with the vegetarian menu.
don’t get me wrong,
i love a thick piece of juicy steak in my mouth…

…but the way some of these meat be getting recalled,
I have been extremely cautious.

uh,
are we fonting about food or menz?
anyhoo,
the alleged juicy meat on this attentionisto tho…

made my mouth water.
heavy…

do we still know how to be mysterious in a forest that rewards oversharing?
rhyheim shabazz carries himself differently.
not just as a black adult content creating hybrid,
but one who knows his worth without having to explain it.
now i’ll admit:
i don’t exactly subscribe to his work but i see it,
and more importantly,
i see him.
i came across this tweet and it said:

and i thought,
damn…
