I Love Them So Much. This Fits Them So Well Too.

After Elon Musk called astronaut Andreas Morgensen a "retard" today, comments have come out of the woodwork claiming this doesn't count as a slur because Elon Musk is, supposedly, autistic.

Able-bodied and even a minority of low support needs autistic people seem to believe all slurs, including this particular one, adhere to how white people understand "n-word rules;" you can say it if you belong to one of the demographics it describes. This is, of course, fucking nonsense, and if Elon and his cronies had any actual exposure to the disabled community beyond the hyper-specific bubble of rich white self-diagnosed cryptobro fuckwits who rely on "autism" as an excuse for having no friends, they would know that. Just like how knowing actual black people will teach you almost immediately that the white version of "n-word rules" doesn't actually exist and like all social phenomena the "acceptable" use of any slur relies on nuanced social context that allows the specific community in discussion to spot an outsider like Elon vs. someone who belongs (not Elon).

This is not to say there's anything necessarily wrong with self-diagnosis, often it is simply the best option available to someone and a necessary social ritual to participation in beneficial communities, but Elon Musk can absolutely afford to go through an adult diagnostic process. Additionally, as a free speech absolutist who allows the violation of others' (especially queer, POC and most importantly, disabled peoples') privacy on his stupid social media platform, surely he'd have no issues with showing us his diagnosis. And yet, here we are, with dorks defending Elon based on his "Asperger's Syndrome" every time he does something fucking stupid, despite his behaviour demonstrating he is not like us.

Reblog to give mutuals a break from whatever they're been going through

Ok, let’s see

HEY YALL.

I’m a junior person in high school rn along with friends. Could you smart tumble elders guide us on how to do this stuff?

Applying, what classes and tests to take, what colleges are good, how things work, and other important things?

Thank you so much smart people and thank you for your time. 💕💕💕

Moots pls help

Gotham is like Australia. It’s so isolated, it just evolved into the most insane and batty (ha) environment.

Not that the other cities aren’t crazy either. Star City is just as bad as Gotham, just in a different way. LA versus New York. Sometimes Central City gives off Florida vibes.

Metropolis is Area 51 if Elon Musk camped there.

Lex Luther = Elon Musk in this situation.

love the idea of Batman struggling with Gotham because it’s so crime ridden, cursed, etc but when he liaises in another city it takes all of two seconds for him to arrest a drug ring, topple a corrupt city government, and put upwards of 25 people in prison without breaking a sweat.

Batman and Robin are feared in very different ways.

Batman: Gotham is quiet tonight

Batman, suspicious: too quiet

Meanwhile five blocks away:

Teen Dick: Swiper no swiping!

Criminal, crying: I'll turn myself in just please stop talking

how i sleep knowing i will pirate every single thing released on disney plus

You should be furious that people trying to escape genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Congo all need raise an absurd amount of money just to survive

You should be furious at how these people went through atrocity after atrocity and still need raise tens of thousands of dollars to get away

You should be furious at this insidious thing that completely encapsulates how capitalism feeds off of blood

happy Thursday the 20th
