I'm trying to sign up for men's #cooking#lessons here in #Japan to placate my busy #Japanese wife. While she was away, I made this cheese omelette; beginner's luck! A #community center has me on a waiting list, or I could spill for more upscale lessons. It is astonishing and unJapanese that single-person #households are approaching 40%. #Single#men of all ages have a poor #diet, which exacerbates the #lifespan gap with #women. #Loneliness is also a #health hazard. Many men are #widowed, never #married, or their #wives#divorce them, often after the children become independent and the husband is useless around the house after a busy career. Single men, or married men interested in cooking or helping their wives, possibly fearing their wives' pent-up anger, can find #companionship as well as #survival#skills in cooking lessons. Men's classes start from zero; women #cook and #socialize.
The best #wife ever(tm) (@flyingsilk) and I met 16y ago. we got #married 4y ago.
And after all those years I'm still convinced to be the happiest human alive for that to happen... 🥰
My name is Walter. I’m a trans-masculine, nonbinary graduate student at the University of Central Missouri. I am currently starting my second semester for my degree in clinical counseling, and I’ll be working towards getting my LPC after I graduate. #GradStudent#ClinicalCounseling#LPC
I was called to counseling for a variety of reasons, but the biggest is that I have a love for psychology and for helping people, so I want to combine the two. I’ve been in counseling myself for years due to past trauma and I know firsthand how helpful and important it can be. I especially want to eventually become certified under WPATH and help young queer people find their way. #Psychology#HelpingPeople#WPATH
About me as a person - I’m out and proud as part of the LGBTQ community. I’m also open about the fact that I am neurodivergent - specifically I am self diagnosed as ADHD and autistic, though I am going for a formal ADHD diagnosis and am open to a formal autism diagnosis in the future. I love podcasts, anime, and music. I’m married and have been with my partner for 11 years. I am also a Norse pagan and practice in private. #LGBTQ#Neurodivergent#ADHD#Autistic#Podcasts#Anime#Music#Married#NorsePagan#AuDHD #intro#introducton
Normally, beyond the simple political nature of being visibly gay and out in normal environments, I don't treat normal activities, like going to a gay bar, as a political statement.
It's just me, a gay man, hanging out with my friends at a bar, right?
I guess I get to add "political statement" to my reasons for going out on Saturday, now. Gotta make sure my attire rides the line exactly.
@zen_at_nite Whether as #LGBTQ or #neurodifferent, it’s amazing how just being our authentic selves can seem like a major political act. It reminds me of the motivation of gay and queer artists, like Tom of Finland, who shared their visions to raise awareness and sound a call to action.
The most important thing is to live by example and SHOW “them” that we are quietly and disturbingly “normal.” 😁
The moment he realized he married his step grandmother. At least I hope she is...
