Almost cut my hair last night!

Seriously, I am a late 50's dude, but at this point I am thinking screw it, time to let my freak flag fly. And as a big FU to every Repuke.

Normally I look like a typical repuke, short hair, white collar job. But now I want them to know, I FUCKING HATE THEM MORE THAN THEY COULD EVER HATE MINORITIES, target me assholes, I still can kick your lame ass.

I play Santa every year and start to let my hair grow out in September.
I just got an early start this year.
My youngest says it’s my Jerry Garcia phase.

I haven't had a haircut in almost 3 months.

At best, if conditions permit, I might get a maintainence trim, but my intent is to grow my hair long. I refuse to shave my head or have a jarhead haircut.

After having to abide by military appearance standards for 30 years I decided I had had enough. I haven't cut it since. Now it's almost as long as it was in college...some color variance though...

To have short hair and check out my true color—a nice silver, so kept it short and gray and thought I needed to keep hair short so curls could cover my new thinner (chemo) top.

COVID is showing me my hair looks ok a little longer (3 months overdue) and the length is not dragging out my curls.

Nothing political, all vanity.

In your case, forget the vanity. We are blessed to share the Earth with you.

feels great to not have that shag on my head. She did a great job.

One warning: you don't sweat any less!!

the long-hairs nowadays are usually ignorant white wingers.

Mess with them, make them think about what they stand for.

I work for a company that would never condemn me for appearance. Fortune 500 company that leans very liberal.

The long hairs will figure it out once you can put a complete sentence together.

I found the color in my daughter's bathroom and there was not enough to cover my whole head. So, I have splotches of pink on my overgrown hair.

Still, heading to the store is not worth the risk. I hope the pink fades before I need to look professional!
