Chad @bchadhill.bsky.social · 6hThere's an attractive, tall, blonde, extremely built (athlete, not bodybuilder) young-ish man at the gym today whom I've never seen before. He's wearing a slut-cut tank (I can see his nipples!) that says "YALE" with Pride-flag coloring. I'm really not sure how I feel about this. At all. 000
