VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

autism loading screen tips

Did you know: You can brush your teeth at any time of the day! Try brushing for 1 minute next time you're in the bathroom.

If showers are hard for you, try wiping your body down with baby wipes instead!

Dry hands every time you wash them? Apply extra lotion to your wrists and forearms. After washing, wet your wrists and rub the lotion down your hands! Pat dry.

In a pinch, a little Icy Hot can help ground you during an episode or meltdown. Apply a little to your arm and focus on the sensation

Dysmorphia, dysphoria, or self-esteem impairing your bodily hygiene? Try bathing in dim lighting (lights off might not be safe!) to impair your body issues back!

You're literally so cool (:

Struggling with oral hygiene because of spoons? Any little bit counts, even if you can't do the whole routine. Just swishing mouthwash or brushing without paste still helps!

Pro tip: everything is a stim tool. All you have to do is stim with it

Foster hydration by having a mini-fridge full of water next in your leisure area or bedroom. You can even add flavorings!

Did you know? The more similar to us we think someone is, the more we favor them-- You are psychologically predisposed to love yourself!

Biophilia refers to the natural affinity for... well... nature. Empirical data shows that humans fare better when exposed to imagery of nature. Harness these effects for yourself by opening windows or displaying rocks!

Noise-cancelling headphones are your best. friend.

the abolition of capitalism is the only way to make things right for this planet and all its inhabitants

no i don't think y'all understand how much joy im feeling seeing grian himself and his mc character actually actually lean back as he laughs cause it's so prominent in his audio that whenever he laughs really hard he leans back from his microphone and now we're actually seeing it happen rather than just hearing it and idk im just. soft.

[My Experience] Undiagnosed autistic: early socialization and its consequences

I had a messy birth. It’s quite frankly, almost a miracle that I am even there. It led my mom to shelter me until I started school. And because my mom spent so much time with me and was traumatized by my upbringing, she was the first one to tell the tale of how I was such a “special child”. The Special Child that I was had much trouble socializing after spending so much time alone with my mom. The teachers spotted it and talked to her about it, and she shrugged, saying that yes, I was, you know it, “special”. Of course I didn’t know how to properly talk with my peers, I had spent my 3 first years in this world smothered under blankets, between the closed, choking arms of a hurt woman, fed with books and medications, cartoons and the walls of my always-too-warm bedroom. I’d never go out except to walk the dog with my mother, who would put me under layers and layers of clothes so I wouldn’t catch nor a cold, nor anything close to fresh air. Everything I learned, I learned with her by my side, envelopped in this syrupy love so sweet it was almost nauseating at times, as close to the womb as my very-much-out-of-it body could allow.

And my mom loved books, and she gave me this hunger for words, so much that when I started school I had way too much words for my little mouth and was always so pissed about the lack of them in my peer’s. I told the teacher that I didn’t see a point being friends with other kids, as they “talked like babies”. I much preferred the company of ants. I loved seeing what they were up to, and would spend all recess kneeled before the farthest tree, so much so that I got forbidden to do so, as to make me “fit in”, or at least try to. So I wandered aimlessly around the jungle gym and the big train made out of wood, with a steering wheel and all, that were the centre of the playground. Eventually, I shyly went to one of the kids playing and asked if I could play with them. They told me I could, and that they were the train driver. I asked why they were, and they told me “because I said so”. I shrugged and went away. I couldn’t play with kids who would say “because I said so” and thought it was a valid answer, or at least this is what I told the teachers who asked me why I was sitting aside.

So they gave up recess and started to make me play with others during class, which I hated even more because I had a whole storyline for my toys and I didn’t want anyone interrupting it nor changing it. Most of the time I would ignore the kids who were asked to play with me until they left and the teacher stopped “sending” me new people. What did they do after they had tried everything they could think of to get me to interact with others ? They started resenting me. They started to openly make fun of some of my quirks, like the fact that I had trouble colouring and overall motricity issues, and treated me as an arrogant, mean kid. When I was just a child who had trouble adjusting, the adults were fine with letting me talk with them, spend time with them as I felt more understood with grown up than with other kids, but once they saw that I wouldn’t be all complient with their efforts and that I was not a problem who would sort itself out, they became angry at me. For the rest of my preschool years, I was regarded as the smug kid who thought that they were so above others.

Now I kind of understand why that is: it was like that because of my mother. My mother loved the attention, and if she wasn’t going to be pitied by telling about my birth, she was going to get praises for how special and intelligent I was. When we had meetings with teachers, she’d talk about my early abilities like they were her own, with a look in her eyes that said “I won”. But I think that what set the school up the most was when they asked if she ever thought of making me see a doctor, more specifically about autism. I can’t quite remember how she said it, but she basically laughed and said “there’s no need, she’s just clever and a bit early, that’s all ! That’s what the doctor said anyways”.

Which is not quite what happened. I remember having 3 sessions or so with a psychologist who, yes, said to my mom that I was an early child [with a troubled household] who seemed very bright [and depressed] but that they couldn’t provide for a free diagnosis because I wasn’t on a severe scale and, we’re in the early 2000s and I’m a little girl, basically, if I wasn’t hurting other kids and/or banging my head against a wall they didn’t see a point of diagnosing me. Was I troubled ? Yes. But enough for my parents to PAY to get me diagnosed ? No no.

And the way my mother told the story to the schoolboard just made them think that… Well, she didn’t want me to get help. So, thinking that being shitty towards me would “serve her right”, they started to treat me like crap. Which made me even more isolated and closed up on myself, and so on and so forth. You know the story. The more you could see I was not doing well, the more my mom gloated about how “special” I was, the more the teachers resented me.

We’re off to a great start, right ?

I’ll maybe make a fic on this later.

Thinking about infodumping to Leviathan about my favourite kinds of human world jellyfish (or your favourite aquatic animal)

//can be viewed as platonic or romantic, reader is once referred to as ‚partner‘ which can be seen as gaming partner, best friend, or lover. Will change the word if requested!//

He already knows everything about them, but hearing someone be so happy and interested in his element is special; so he listens to every word

Even adding additional facts about them that humans dont know about yet <3

Maybe he even gets you one or two as a pet/companion, a gift for his Henry <3

He definitely loves knowing that he’s not the only one in the HoL that nerds out like this, and is equally enthusiastic about whatever you’ve told him

Maybe he shows you an anime, manga, or game with that animal available as a pet! just coincidentally though!!! Totally not because you’re his partner!!

You definitely have days/nights where you both infodump to each other on things you love

Sometimes it can carry out into breakfast and his brothers can’t keep up with either of you!
