Status Updates From Ramin Abbas has MAJOR Quest...

I think about the musical Waitress a lot so I totally get listening to She Used To Be Mine

I can’t imagine the turmoil Ramin is going through. I feel so bad

“Because in the end, I always choose silence. Because silence still feels better than having to disappoint the parents who left everything behind to raise me in a country that wasn’t their own. So that I could have…everything.”

Not Omar giving Ramin the guards off his shins

And I thought my rich friend with a home movie theater and tennis court was fancy. Soccer friend is next level

This is why you need to watch what you say in front of kids. You never know if they are gay or trans

Reel-ationships is a much more fun way to say Facebook friends

I love a musical theater nerd. Me too

left work late to write a temporary staff pick for this bc two days was too long to wait to say something nice about it

open the dictionary to the phrase "suffered more than jesus" and there's a picture of fictional gay teen ramin abbas right there taking up the entire page

poor baby ☹️

there are moments in this book that are so sweet and make you think “wow young queer love is so beautiful” and then you remember you’re reading about a gay kid in a metaphorical saw trap wrapped up in love, simon movie posters

this child is genuinely experiencing the worst 15 minutes of his life and i know its probaly far from the rock bottom this book will send him too 🙂‍↕️

knocking out my ya contemporary read for the year, dk how it ended up being another “repressed queer kid is suffering at a religious school” narrative but i’m not mad abt it
