On Gus, Tim, and Toxic Masculinity

Do you want to know a person's makeup and character? Do you want to truly get a window into who a person is, deep down in their soul?

I think you should look at the people making fun of Tim Walz's son Gus and his relationship with his father.

People are mocking a neurodivergent person for loving their father and openly showing their love, unfiltered, in a moment of familial pride.

People are mocking Tim Walz for having a son whom he has showered with so much love, support, and affection that his son has no qualms about showing the world how decent of a person his father is.

If you somehow find Tim and Gus' relationship funny, meme-worthy, or a target of mockery, rest assured that it says so much about who you are as a person that you need not mutter another word.

I wish for you healing for the dark places in your soul that have never seen joy and love. I hope that one day, you get to feel what true, genuine, unfiltered, unconditional love, empathy, and compassion with another person feels like because you're obviously bereft of it.
