This little grump is not getting enough attention around here and it's somewhat making me mad.

Tumblr literally captured the face of its user base in one picture.

We are all just Tired Grumpy Cats trying to make it.

There they are

the boyest of bands

I took my dad to pride today. After asking him and saying what itt might entail, I made him a free dad hugs sign:

While walking there, a lot of people pointed at him and said it was a cute idea. They were right.

My (and his) personal highlights were:

• A guy hugging him and saying something in Ukrainian (bc of the flag, probably)
• Someone asking him if they can call him "daddy" (I had to explain to him why I started laughing. He now knows.)
• Someone giving him a rose
• Someone kissing him on the cheeck
• A lot of people seeing me standing around awkwardly while there was a line forming in front of him and hugging me too
• A guy my dad's age hugging him with tears in his eyes
• A kid my age shouting "I don't have a father!", Running towards and almost tackling him
• A guy in a fetish-related dog mask hugging him and clinging to him like a lifeline
• Two children between eight and ten initiating a group hug with him and giggling the entire time
• Everyone thanking him afterwards and a lot of people saying he gives the best hugs in the world. One guy said he'd never been hugged like that before
• This guy in a moving lorry shouting and making the lorry stop driving to get a hug from my dad:

My dad said that the majority of people hugging him were either older (25-60) queer men or younger (15-25) trans people. He really loved the experience and felt like a lot of the people, especially the older guys really needed it.

Anyway we're definitely doing this again next year
