Unrepentantly enthusiastic. Hopeless nerd. Aspiring teacher. Theater geek. Neurodivergent. She/her or they/them. Black Lives Matter.

My old job, which donated to Autism Speaks, decided to change "Favorite Color Day" to "Wear Blue Day" for autism awareness. Problem is, no one told me, an actual autistic person. I showed up to "Wear Blue Day" dresses all in red, which is a heck of a metaphor. #ActuallyAutistic

@nerdlegame I think that the mascot should be named Unit.

Me (handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser): Are you mad at me?

Car insurance is like “You need us in case of an accident, and if an accident happens and you try to use us, we will rain the fires of hell upon your world.”

"God is Dead" doesn't scare me any more than "Harry Potter is Dead" because neither of them are fucking real. Both of them are just characters written by bigots to sell books

If, when I was a young boy, my father took me into the city to see the marching band, but then, while we were watching the marching band, he asked me if I’d be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned, I probably would have just dissociated.

Hey I haven't been here in months but I just popped in to ask: can we all finally stop pretending that Elon Musk is good at business?

british people struggling in this heat wave... stay strong... your ancestors colonized entire countries in this heat 💕💕💕

[April Farmer @MonthOccupation]

The looming shadow of the lingering pandemic combined with the active dismantling of my country's democracy is really bumming me out lol

just another example of twitter protecting the violator and suspending the user

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

[Marisha Ray @Marisha_Ray]

Meanwhile, millions of women will have to suck it up and go about our work day, because there’s too much shit to be done. Because that’s what we do. Because we have no choice but to be strong at all times.

There ain’t even BABY FORMULA ON THE SHELVES

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

i wish more people cared about actual children.

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

them: “have you tried using a todo list?”

me: “a what? I’ve never even heard of that before. My ADHD is cured, thank you so much!!”

[how a non-ADHD person imagines the conversation will go, otherwise why ask the question?!]

the toy based on the movie that’s supposed to be the movie that the toy we know was based on doesn’t look like the toy we know but instead looks like the character from the movie that they made that was supposed to be the basis for the toy

@pot8um Wow. It's so mild in comparison, but when I told my psychiatrist that I was autistic, he was like "I never would have guessed!" Like, sorry you're bad at guessing bro 🤷It sure is weird to explain neurodivergence to a psychiatrist when I was just there for my Zoloft lol

[ᴘᴏᴛᴀᴛᴜᴍ @pot8um]

This week, I brought up an autism assessment with my psychiatrist for the second time.
The first time, he told me I can’t be autistic because I don’t speak in a monotone voice.
During this visit, he told me I can’t be autistic because I’m a good communicator.
