I just watched Memoirs of a Geisha which is pretty much a movie about a chick crushing on and chasing after a guy that was kind to her once.
Fyi mah dudes. In case anybody ever told you women don't dig nice guys.

Oh this is so good! 5min video on stupid toxic masculinity, the isolation it creates in men, and how to shift to more openness and vulnerability for true friendships.

Filmed off my TV (terrible quality, sorry) a clip from #reservationDogs of men mentoring boys in emotional intelligence. Gotta take care of those heart-nards, yo. Beautiful and hilarious.

Ok folks! #hopePunk weekend challenge!
Take some time to ponder, and add your own toots to two of my favourite visioning projects:
#spoonieTown an imaginary place where we've already solved all the problems - what's life like there? What's kind of infrastructure is used? How do we take care of each other? What's a day like?
#tonicMasculinity - share your favourite examples from pop culture, your real life moments, or men you admire and why. There's so much good to celebrate.
Lovely moment of #tonicMasculinity this morning:
I was out on the porch trying to solve some bizarre mystery of the 4 bolted stool that could only ever thread 3 bolts.
Visiting fella saw me and offered to help. He tried a bunch of things, prefaced with "you probably already tried this," exploring the issue. We worked together testing theories. Was ultimately a slightly warped plate that mostly needed strong fingers to force all bolts into place.
Lovely team effort, zero mansplaining.
Fascism weaponizes the #ToxicMasculinity trait of never admitting you're wong. This is made even worse by the fact that they were swindled by a tier C grifter from Queens.
Combine that with American Exceptionalism & the desire for comfort over all and ~1/2 of America is still denying the reality in front of them.
#TonicMasculinity is swallowing your pride, listening to those being harmed long before you & speaking up for them. Especially if your voice is louder than theirs.

I loved this! Got me some vicarious joy watching folks groove on a fav song.
Tagging @joybooster so I can boost it again later.
Also booyah #tonicMasculinity for men talking about their vulnerability n shit. Beautiful.
If your day needs a dose of #tonicMasculinity ...
I just watched a Blue Rodeo doc (called Lost Together) and man! it was a masterclass of male friendship, collaboration, conflict resolution, vulnerability, and trust.
Fekkin beautiful.
Also the music is awesome.

Tim Walz could help a person to his feet in Time Square and EVERYONE would still vote for him.
Tim Walz, wonderful man, has announced he will show up in any district Republican cowards have cancelled Town Halls, to help host a Town Hal/ For citizens, who deserve to be told what's going on, and to be LISTENED TO.
AMERICA is its citizens, not it's arrogant leaders.
Filed under #tonicMasculinity this gesture, full of gentle protectiveness and respect for her feminity.
Imma just gonna drop this gem under the #tonicMasculinity tag.

Ok here's some #tonicMasculinity for ya:
I am in town for an appt and one of my wiper blades peels right off. I am tired and crabby and urg!
I pull into a garage in this state, say I need this fixed but also could I just leave my fekkin car here for an oil change and [ranty ranty whatnot] and pick it up next week that would be awesome.
And dude was super chill and super helpful. Big burly guy, engine greased hands, but calm and kind.
THIS is the kind of strength we need these days.

Something a male friend said to me on a bad day. I know it's hard to know what to say, how to support. Here's a good example.

Thank you for these posts. My new obsession is #tonicMasculinity and I am taking notes of examples in media.
Kindness, sincerity, situational awareness, and owning yer own stuff is sexy af.
*swoon*
I am watching S4 of Stranger Things and the tonic masculinity of these young men is ...

And a lovely example of the appeal of #tonicMasculinity.
