I am talking to a #gay #FBI agent. Not quite a unicorn fart, but close. You don't see very many #GLBT agents out there. They're out there, they are, just like cops. But he says a lot of people are closeted because of this macho culture they have, that's even worse under #Trump . He's […]
Some dudes are so full of themselves. On Scruff, I have a picture of me and my #cat because he's my best-friend, right? Some dude is like "if you want to hookup with me, then you have to loose the cat" oh. Well then, we won't be hooking up then. "😮 I'm worth it" bro, my cat is a psychiatric […]
There are #gay MAGAtwats? In what twilight zone dimension? How does that work exactly? My mother once said "I didn't raise a liberal" WHAT?! I'M GAY!! No. No you did not. I had to figure that all out myself. But that isnt voting against your own self interest. That's letting it first fuck you! […]
Guy on Scruff "What you doing?" Me: "Waiting for the melatonin gummies to kick in" "oh" "and the 2 Benedryl, and the Trazodone. So I'm waiting for someone to bore me to sleep, and you look like that person! What you doing?" Seriously. People in polite society start conversations with "hello! How […]
Some guy on Scruff - "are you looking for Daddy?" Yes. I need to know where to send the hitman. The only daddy issue I have is "Murder on my Mind" by Kordell plays when someone mentions his name. Very much not looking for a daddy #glbt
I'm not a fan of children being bullied or harassed, but these TPUSA (Ta-Pooosa) groups are tantamount to being Hitler's Youth, especially in areas where #GLBT clubs are being denied, it makes it more fascist. #news #tpusa […]

Abstract geometric composition divided into sections with bold colours. The left side features a vertical split between blue (top) and red (bottom) rectangles. A flowing teal curve moves through the centre, containing a yellow semi-circle at top and a larger yellow circle at bottom. Small orange triangular shapes appear in the upper right corner. The artwork uses clean lines and flat colour fields, creating a balanced interplay between geometric precision and organic curved forms.
Dangerous Sunset, 30/30 Leo & Neil🌅🤐
As Leo and Neil watched the sunset from their porch, they wondered what they'd lost becoming "us." Neither asked. Some questions feel too dangerous.

Abstract portrait of a male face rendered in bold, flat colour blocks with strong black outlines. The composition is divided vertically and horizontally into geometric sections with contrasting background colours including yellow, teal, grey, and green. The face features simplified, asymmetrical elements: two differently styled eyes (one orange, one blue-tinted), a prominent grey-green nose, and red lips. The figure wears what appears to be a red and blue collared shirt or jacket. The style evokes Cubist influences with its fragmented planes and simultaneous multiple perspectives of the subject.
Steady Voice, Leo & Neil, 29/30 STORIES SERIES🖤💔 🕊️
Leo noticed Neil talked about his brother's death without breaking. "Healing doesn't mean forgetting," Neil said in a steady voice.

Abstract portrait featuring a stylised portrait composed of bold geometric shapes and vibrant colour blocks. The composition includes a large dark purple circle in the upper right, representing an eye or head element. The face is fragmented into angular sections with colours including red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, grey, and brown. Two almond-shaped forms suggest eyes with purple and green accents. A curved red shape indicates lips. The background shifts between dark charcoal, brown, and textured grey areas. The overall effect creates a modern, Cubist-inspired interpretation of a female face through pure geometric abstraction.
It’s Complicated, 28/30 Leo & Neil 🚫☎️💔

If you message me with "hey sexy", I will immediately block you. I don't like it. It does not make me feel special. It makes me feel trashy. Do I look like trash to you? No. I am not. I've been treated like I am by far too many people to let some rando on a dating app degrade me like that. Have […]
Abstract portrait using bold geometric shapes and primary colours on a green background. The composition suggests a fragmented face: a large red curved form dominates the upper left, featuring simplified facial elements including curved lines for eyes and an orange triangular shape for a nose or mouth. The left side shows blue with a yellow oval, while vertical sections in purple, pink, and light blue divide the centre. Various coloured circles (red, green, brown, yellow) scatter across the lower portion. The playful, Cubist-inspired style creates a whimsical figure through pure geometric forms and vibrant colour relationships.

The layered, puzzle-like structure creates depth through colour contrast and intersecting shapes, suggesting a rhythmic, modernist visual language.
