This little boy thanks you.

This is Teddy. The vet estimated him as 12 when I got him, he's 13 now. He lived outside for an indeterminate period, then 2 months in a rescuer's crate. He has no teeth and half an ear. He is the sweetest, cuddling, purring ball of fur in the whole world.

This is Teddy. I got him at twelve years old. He's a total love bug

I have this:

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

Great legal scholar:

@jimpembry.bsky.social Thank you for the inspiration!

Some priests bless same-sex couples. Here's Father James Martin doing so. I live in Manhattan. I know it's not standard, but where I live, Catholic churches that don't welcome gay people are the exception.

I've had the same thought.
