queer revert muslim culture is never being taken seriously when you defend yourself because you’re a revert and you’re “invading Islam and changing it on purpose”

This is the funniest fucking flex in nerd history.

"i do x because of my autism."

"don't use your autism as an excuse."

i am not. i am giving them a reason as to why i word things in a certain way. i am giving them a reason why i think/perceive things in a certain manner. i am giving them a reason why i am never on time. why i need them to be more specific than that. why i did not understand what they meant. why getting out of bed is sometimes the hardest thing i can do that day. i am giving them a reason why i cannot eat certain foods, touch certain things or why i need something to be a certain way. i am giving them a reason why i do not like people. why i do not like going to certain places.

i am not using my autism as an excuse. i am merely giving you a reason why.

Ngl seeing Spencer's subconscious calling himself an Addict when in Elephant Memory's intro with the NA reunion thing he goes full "My name is Spencer and...I.... I am not really sure of what I am" goes kinda hard tbh.

Feeling confident 😌 ✨️

Sid: Jesus, what are they all doing?

Michelle: They're trying to be happy, Sid. It isn't easy.

shoutout to nonbinary/agender/otherwise gender nonconforming people who choose to wear cultural clothing typically associated with a certain gender!

jews who wear kippot, muslims who wear hijabs and burqas and niqābs and jilbābs and kimars, sihks who wear turbans, just to name a few!

whether you're wearing these because you have a connection to the gender associated with the article of clothing, or if you wear them because you want to challenge gender roles, or if youre just used to wearing them and don't think your gender should stop you from continuing, or any other reason, i think you all rule!!! im actually a nonbinary jew who wears kippot :] rock on!

and to those who are forced to wear these things, i hope one day you all are in a place where you can have the freedom of choice
