Meantime, over at mtnman02, there's a hot daddy who says he is "hung and furry and like[s] to show-off," and he's not kidding!

Excited to join the conversation on Bluesky! Let's uplift each other, share our stories, and advocate for love and inclusivity. Can't wait to connect with all of you!

When government uses bureaucracy to brutalize a people-when they try to hide oppression behind the normalcy of government-any representative worth their office must stand in opposition.

Thank you, Te Pāti Māori.
