When you love someone, the regular things they do become cute. And when they do things that are already cute, it’s like, a cute explosion. So how about when you’re a fan of an entire group of people? Take, for example, butches. Who doesn’t love a good photo of a butch doing something? Anything at all. But especially doing something cute.
Sometimes, though, it can be really hard to find such photos. A simple Google search doesn’t usually cut it:
kill me
Lucky for my little heart, Tumblr seems to appreciate Butches Doing Things as much as I do. Without further ado, here are the Internet’s finest sources of pictures of butches doing [cute] things.

this one’s mine
Perfect post is perfect.
I’m going to stare at these now and hope that a lovely butch lady other than my ex will magically show up at my school.
Butches getting caught in the rain….dead.
+1 for Butches Leaning on Things
I just like how she’s always leaning. Against stuff.
She leans great. [i want] either sex or a conversation — ideally both.
I second that emotion
Butches leaning like Jordan Catalano.
I can’t decide if I want to be on these tumblrs or sleep with the people on these tumblrs.
Although seeing no. 6, I definitely don’t have to choose.
I am 100 percent certain it’s both for me haha
either way can i watch? whoo!
BUY ME A DRINK FIRST JEEZ
(maaaaaayyybe)
Marika…your cute!
This is completely relevant to my day. I saw the sweetest butch couple on the L today. The one was reading and the other was asleep under the other’s arm, and they were just curled into each other, almost as if nothing else existed.
<3
<<<< my profile pic…does it count…butch playing guitar upside down?
Butches Being Meta is my new life philosophy, gender expression, and ice cream flavor.
ooh what would be in that ice cream?
All the things would be in it. ALL THE THINGS.
Call Ben and Jerry’s, bc that flavor needs to happen! I’m thinking something with a touch of whiskey/caramel, and pretzel pieces. Also, must be consumed while leaning.
this sounds delicious
at next camp i’d like to host a workshop entitled:
Being a Good House Butch aka House Butching it Up
“cuz i’ve got our baby on my hip, dinner is ready and oh, you see that? it’s called a clean house.”
DONE.
Yes, please. That would be that would be so fucking hot. Even though i’m not butch, i would come through just to check out which butches wanted to partipate, lol.
My life goal is pretty much to be a house butch, takin’ care of my lady. :) Not that she needs me to take care of her, but you know what I mean…
I like the way butches lean. They lean great.
So I think the texts I immediately sent to my girlfriend upon seeing this post most accurately sum up my feelings about this:
“This butches doing things post is the best thing”
“I’m so happy right now”
“Omg. Butches with babies. This is all the feelings.”
“I CAN’T HANDLE IT. TOO MUCH ADORABLE.”
Oh thanks, like I needed to become even more addicted to Tumblr than I already am.
Seriously, this is awesome. Thanks Gabrielle!
It was literally my pleasure
i totally do that butch thing where i just lean against shit all the time with my arms folded and my grin super crooked and cocky and shit. and i’ll cock my head a little bit and maybe raise an eyebrow like i know what the fuck i’m talking about, but i usually don’t because i’m actively fighting being weak at the knees for the gorgeous little thing in front of me.
god, i feel like if i was a cis dude i would be the most epic douchebag manwhore and i would literally hate me so much.
soooo. you’re volunteering to be the first model for the Butches Leaning on Things tumblr?
Can we make this happen please?
oh i’m so on this, you have no idea
thank you
oh my god I am all about the eyebrow raises
I feel like we could be great friends, leaning against walls, making eyes at laydays.
Shit, I never really thought about it before, but I totally do the lean too
Also, FYI:
the lean is a great way for introvert butches to still appear suave, cool, and sophisticated while facing a room full of good-looking people.
Hands or thumbs in front or back pockets is optional.
Everyone can mock me for this, but if I think my jeans fit me really nicely, I like to tuck my thumbs into my waistband and pull them down justtt a little. Casually like ‘oh hai I’m feeling sexy, here are my hipbones and my american eagle trunks.’
I probably shouldn’t even share that with the internet cause it’s embarrassing but TOO LATE NOW.
That’s exactly what i do! There now we’re both embarassed lol
Please don’t be embarrassed, I think you just made the internet swoon.
Hells yeah!
So, sooooooo much swoon!
Yep, pretty much swooning! x
I do the same exact thing.
So, you should submit a picture of that lean…
http://butchesleaningonthings.tumblr.com/
Yep, that’s exactly why I do it
So many dirty thoughts just ran through my head reading that, lol.
It’s like descriptions of butches leaning is the porn I never knew I wanted
YES
butches with cute animals? i think i’m in deep like.
I just….so much to take in at once.
Anyone else also wish there was a butches with bicycles? *swoon*
I might never leave my computer if there was a butches with bicycles. But really, all of these are wins.
Butches with Babies makes me have so many feelings. Procreative feelings. Which is very weird for me. But erhmagerdz so cute!
Damn, I love butches! I’d like to thank AS for catering to my butch hand fetish. It’s like a foot fetish but less kinky and I admire from afar. Now I feel like a freak for admitting that…
I don’t think liking butches is a weird or kinky thing at all. They are hot and amazing and should be fawned over.
agreed on all counts there, Torre, but i’m pretty sure that sydney was referring to her specific fetish for butch *hands*.
and girl, i feel you. i don’t know what it is about them (there’s something that’s not purely about the sex, i promise), but the hands. oh god, their hands.
Oh, I missed the hands part. But whatevs, butch hands are hot too. Butches are dreamy, end of story.
oh, god their hands, indeed!
Does this count? Im smiling AND up a tree??
Butches in Nature
Sorry, the previous comment should read:
*fangirl shriek*
LOL! your funny….yeah it counts.
Don’t forgot “Butches Wearing Glasses” ala Alison Beckdel
Butches Wearing Glasses is my personal alpha and omega.
Can I just admit that I’ve had two semi-sexual dreams about Alison Bechdel in the last month? Okay? Okay.
Okay! I admit to having a dreams about Rachel Maddow in the past month. Also, I had a dream about holding babies last night after looking at the Butches holding Babies tumblr. Apparently, AS is catering to my fetishes and invading my dreams…
argh *Bechdel*
Butches With Books.
i need for this to be a thing.
really ready for butchescaughtnapping.tumblr.com
Someone make a Tumblr of butches reading. I would, but I don’t know how to internet.
hands
hands
hands
BUTCHES WITH CUTE ANIMALS OH MY GOD
I wouldn’t even say I’m generally attracted to butches but add the puppy and BAM, cutest goddamn thing ever.
I’ve got butches holding cute animals down, I’ve mastered that one.
Love this. All this? All this.
Also: http://mtfbutches.tumblr.com/ There’s two especially cute (and NSFW) pics on page 7, plus a “Some Women Have Penises. Get Over It!” sign that I want to reblog forever. And ever.
Morgan, the queer with the both/neither tattoo makes me salivate. OH MY GOD SO MANY HOTTIES EVERYWHERE. Thank you!
I posted this thinking, God, I hope Marika sees this. Why aren’t we still at camp, frolicking and shit? I forget why we left.
oh wow
There needs to be a Butchin’ It Up With Marni tumblr, I’ll write the theme song (jk I already did).
I think I’m in love with you carlytron!
the Butchin’ it Up With Marni song has been in my head since this story was conceived of earlier today
I need to hear this theme song
I would get a tumblr just to follow this.
Of all the AS articles that are relevant to my interests, this might be the most.
No but really, thank you for the butches fucking butches tumblr!
Considering I just got turned down by a cute butch-leaning (in both senses of the word) girl for not being femme enough, this is relevant to my interests. Thanks AS writers/community for reminding me that butch on butch does exist. Typically I do go for slightly femme of center girls, but this one butch girl made me weak in the knees. Since I hover around androgynous (some days slightly femme, other days boi/butch) it’s usually hard for me to win over anyone other than the curious straight girl…and that never lasts.
yesssssyesyesyesyes
Aw i’m sorry to hear that :/
I’m boi/butch if you wanna get all technical who has a soft spot for boi/butch folk and I tend to see femme and butch get to together rather than butch and butch
That sucks! I propose we all pledge not to use the phrase “you’re not ______ enough” when turning people down for dates.
I’d like to nominate a “Butches drinking microbrews and looking smug” tumblr.
I’ll throw down on this.
i think that tumblr is called Portland.
This is the best thing.
butches in autostraddle swag
Swag: Secretly We Are Gay
You win. EVERYTHING!
thank you thank you thank you thank you for compiling this list. I was having a bad day and feeling sad and this list (especially baking butches & butches fucking butches) lifted my spirits!
Butches and babies! Two of my favorite things put together! So cute!
THANKS YOU SWEET BABY LESBIAN JESUS FOR THIS POST.
“Sweet Baby Lesbian Jesus” may very well be my stage name for when I break into the business of show as a singer/songwriter/performance artist/professional napkin folder.
BUTCHES LOVING BUTCHES!!! NGGGG!
Ridiculously fuckin’ hot, y’all. :)))))) I def. identify as butch/boi but I also love/am attracted to butches (and slightly more effeminate men when it gets right down to it but that’s a long discussion) who look the part and get their shit done. I feel like I’m in the minority with this, but there’s a tumblr for everyone yaaaaay!
oh my
butches with cute animals!! everything that is right & good. but like, butches doing just about anything makes me swoon :D
ohhhhhh thanks for this post!
To be quite honest, I’m not the biggest fan of babies…..but that butches & babies pic is too cute :)
Minty post, thankyou :)! Didn’t know about Baking Butches, but now I am following it – happy days!
Also, all of your list needs to exist!
Really though, you could make a blog of ‘Butches making a cuppa’ or ‘Butches putting the bin out’ or ‘Butches putting the clocks back’, and it would still be amazing and awesome and follow-worthy.
Butches in the Bath!! Hot butches, but with tasteful foam covering anything too naughty, maybe holding a bottle of something.
Think I just got an idea for my next photography project :D
His may be the best thing autostraddle has ever posted, ever. Totally made my day :)
1+ for butches fixing shit.
…And butches hands? Always sexy. 1+ for simple pleasures, anyone?
Butches doing (my) laundry
Aka my girlfriend
I aspire to be in that “Butches Leaning on Things” tumblr. I’m going practice my lean right now…
Your aspiration is nearing fruition…
http://butchesleaningonthings.tumblr.com/
:D
I sent this link to one of my partners and she called me “the best boifriend ever,” then told me how much she loves my butch hands. Thank you so many times, Autostraddle. =)
Love the pics of the “Butches” some are SO cute! Keep the pics coming! How about a Calendar of Butches? I’d love that….
Ask and you shall receive!
http://butchesandbooks.tumblr.com
OH MY GOD YES.

butches who read: please submit to this tumblr asap.

i was actually looking for a picture of judith/jack halberstam reading yesterday after i suggested the butches with books tumblr, and while i did not find such a picture, i did find this one.
halberstam holding a koala.
i died.
i’m sorry. i just got too excited and didn’t include the link.
I love you!!
Well, thanks! I love you too! This is from the creators of Butches + Babies, though.
Thank you for this list. I am not thankful for my friend Hannah sending it to me first thing this morning. It almost killed me and I got nothing done all day. Grr you Hannah! (I know she’s reading this)
Also can some of you American butches emigrate to Ireland, pretty pretty please?
It would be remiss of me not to post this wonderful gem:
http://the-unfeminine-female.tumblr.com/
Ha. What great timing. I submitted a pic of Sugar with a baby to Butches + Babies just Monday. I have been checking it everyday. Butches with babies make me swooon so hard. Also, a big fan of the Lean and watching butches fix stuff. I could watch that all day. Great article!
ButchesBaking is my new favorite tumblr right after dykeseatingpizza
Okay, so done: http://fuckyeabutchessniffingfingers.tumblr.com/

Can we get Butches Crafting too? Taught my girl to crochet and jesus christ
I’m a Butch and I love surprising my girlfriend with flowers after I finish a long day at work.
Great article! Inspired me to write a blog post about my own GF…and one of my favorite pictures of her…leaning on a railing. Hope you like this one too…
http://www.barbarabeige.blogspot.com/2012/10/butch-leaning.html
Hey so I run a tumblr blog too that is really hot and wanted to share it with you all if you didn’t know it already. It’s got lots of hot butches on it, but is not specifically focused on just them. It’s http://www.fuckyeahqueerpomps.tumblr.com and is dedicated to hot queers and their pompadour hairdo’s. You all can thank me later (and please do stop by and submit photos of your lovely selves if you sport a pomp or know someone who does!).
YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED. http://butchesfixingshit.tumblr.com/
