Monday morning mancandy
May this morning’s post distract you from the fact that it is a Monday morning.
Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission opens in Boston, Philadelphia and San Francisco
Late last month the city of Boston announced it would form a “Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission” to review racial inequities, police violence and misconduct in the legal system.
Boston becomes one of just three cities to convene and pilot such a commission with the hope that more shall follow. District attorneys in Boston, Philadelphia and San Francisco have all pledged to create the commissions with a goal of starting work as early as this fall.
Inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation commissions formed when apartheid ended in South Africa in the 1990s, these groups will be overseen by district attorneys who could decide to prosecute
Scruffy Sunday
Rise and shine buddy. Somone please get this guy a cup of coffee.
Saturday morning coffee
I can’t help but feel that @kenneth212 would like this week’s Saturday morning coffee post for his weekly Saturday ‘Stache post.
White Mountain National Forest ranked most beautiful in US
Fodor’s Travel gave New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest the top spot in the publication’s list of the 10 most beautiful forests in the U.S. Vermont’s Green Mountain National Forest also did well coming in at No. 8.
Considering how the coronavirus has forced many to rethink travel plans, taking a closer look at these beautiful forests which one can easily explore from Boston may be worth thinking about as a way to beat the heat, get out of the city and socially distance while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Fodor’s Travel writes: “White Mountain National Forest is located in eastern New Hampshire (and western Maine) and throughout it you will find alpine peaks, hardwood forests, lakes, streams, and a vast variety of wildlife. It’s known for being some of the most untamed country of the Northeast. It’s also known for having some of the world’s worst weather conditions, with excessive wind speeds and snowfall–this forest certainly has a personality, and sometimes that personality is “frightening.” It’s gorgeous though, too, with maple, oak, and birch trees scattered about at low elevations, spruces and firs in the higher elevations.”

Vintage gay
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
This week on Instagram: gaymeme.heaven
Similar to last week’s featured Instagram account, this week’s suggestion has quite sexual posts. Unlike last week’s post, this week’s account, @gaymeme.heaven juxtaposes humor with otherwise lascivious photos to engage and make you laugh. The photos here are among the more tame shared.
This certainly is not the kind of feed you peruse while at work or around others who may not share your sense of sexual humor.
You can follow this week’s featured account on Instagram here, and you can check out previously featured IG accounts here.
Caption this photo
Hopefully the caption I’ve shared below inspires you to offer up a caption or two of your own. Leave a witty or funny caption as a comment for this post, and I’ll approve it for readers to enjoy.
“Thirsty”
Best bum contest
The headline may make you think this post is more salacious than it sounds, but I couldn’t help myself and apparently several museum curators cannot either.
Museums from around the globe each Friday take to Twitter to find which institution has on display the “best bum” as part of a weekly online battle between curators. Yorkshire Museum, in York, England, launched the search on social media in late June and the hashtag #BestMuseumBum on Twitter shows just how popular the contest has become. Below is a photo submitted by the Italian Museum The Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan from late June.
There is an absence of Boston area museums participating, and I would like to challenge curators from the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Harvard Art Museum, Peabody Essex Museum and others to join in on this fun by posting a photo this Friday post on Twitter with the hashtag #BestMuseumBum. Be sure to also tag @YorkshireMuseum.
Temptation Tuesday
When my weekly Temptation Tuesday post coincides with Bastille Day I can’t help but post this photograph of American born model, Alexander Masson draped in the French flag.
Men in kilts
This week would’ve been Bear Week in Provincetown, but like all the theme weeks this year it has been cancelled. However, I wanted to share this weetk’s post to pay tribute to the theme week and all who would’ve been in Ptown.
Monday morning mancandy
This should’ve been Bear Week in Provincetown, but the Coronavirus put a stop to that this year. Brian Sims, Pennsylvania 182 District State Representative from Philadelphia, has been a fixture at Bear Week for years, so I thought he would make for the perfect mancandy monday post this week.
