Heute habe ich ganz viele in Wasser eingeweichte Wasserperlen in den größten Topf gekippt und dann mit den Händen drin rumgeknetet, was für ein geiles Gefühl.
Ich glaube, das werde ich mit einem großen Wasserbecken für die Füße wiederholen. Erstens herrlich kühl, zweites sehr schönes Stimming.
Ich habe mir einen Kühlschal, eine Schlafmaske und eine Art Häubchen für unter den Buff genäht und mit Wasserperlen gefüllt. Das ist sooo angenehm, weil es nur langsam verdunstet.

Ich war heute Nachmittag mit einer lieben Kollegin in der Stadt zum Kaffeetrinken verabredet. Wirklich keine große Sache, nur ein bisschen Klönen, Updaten, Austausch in netter Umgebung.
Nach knapp eineinhalb Stunden haben wir uns verabschiedet, ich habe noch ein paar Sachen eingekauft - und habe es nur noch mit allergrößter Mühe nach Hause geschafft.
Und zuhause ging erstmal gar nichts mehr.🧵 1/3

Okay, the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS Throttle doesn't seem to work like I want with my combination of Mech Game and Linux...
...but it *does* make a stupidly expensive busybox, so really, why am I returning it? I could click these switches all day!

Kids, puppies, kitten, calves, foals - all animals that live with humans should at a young age experience stimming, meltdowns, different gaits, mobility devices and such as normal parts of society. Which. They. Are.

That mindless touching… 💫
As followers of this blog site can’t have missed, a little over 6 weeks ago, I lost my furry soulmate… 💔 It was during a week that already had started with pain and trauma, and apparently, the week wanted to end in tears… 😭
With the help of many lovely and caring people, I was able to have Arwen cremated privately, so the ashes were/are purely hers. I have a beautiful urn for her, and they saved some ashes separately for a pendant, that I got the week later. Since then, a tiny bit of Arwen has been with me, and it helps, but not enough… 😢

What Is Stimming?
Stimming is a way to bring order to our nervous system.
Rory MacLeod at FlickrThe explanation I’m going to give you here is that of a layman trying to understand himself. I am not a psychologist, or a psychiatrist. I don’t know that this is a generalizable explanation even. Maybe it holds only for some neurodivergent folks but not others? I have no idea.
Neurodivergent folks talk about being emotionally dysregulated. This dysregulation can manifest in multiple ways. The dysregulated individual may experience intense negative emotions, mood swings, or even difficulty identifying emotions, etc. However, what happens in the brain of a dysregulated person is not entirely clear to me.
What if what happens internally in the brain is some sort of electrical mess? I won’t call it an electrical storm. I don’t think it is as bad as a storm. The electrical storm phenomenon is associated with epilepsy and seizures. So it is not a storm, but it is, for a lack of a more descriptive word, an electrical mess. This mess prevents the electrical currents from going where they should go in an ordered manner.
One of the ways a neurodivergent person can handle emotional dysregulation is to stim. A stim is some sort of stimulation of the nervous system. Flapping your hands can be stimming. Petting an animal can be stimming. Even merely listening to music can be stimming too. Now, stims usually have a rhythm to them. To take the examples already given, flapping your hands has a rhythm. Petting an animal has a rhythm. Listening to music definitely has a rhythm too.
I think the rhythm of the stim acts as some sort of force that regiments the electrical mess that is happening in the brain. I don’t think this is a perfect analogy, but the mess is akin to a non-Newtonian fluid flowing aimlessly. Then the rhythm of the stim are like vibrations that regiment the fluid into some sort of functional pattern.
I can’t find a better explanation for my fondness for music. I have it playing any chance I get. When I was younger, I studied with music playing on my boombox, and I tapped the desk to its rhythm. Nowadays, I have music playing all day long in my apartment. I even have it playing when I go on my solitary walks, or when I drive. It keeps the electrical currents in my brain functional.
As I said, the analogy is not perfect. The non-Newtonian fluid typically has no function. If you need to see a non-Newtonian fluid in action, you should watch the following video. (Regular readers will recognize it from my article about the self.)

Okay, Obsession by Joywave came onto YouTube twice today, and twice I had to drop what I was doing and stim to the bloody music.
Well played, Joywave! Well played.
You could say that this song is my new *obsession*. 😉

Life Itself by Glass Animals.
Of course, I'm stimming to it.

Earlier, I recorded myself stimming to my new obsession: Destruction by Joywave.
However, when I looked at the resulting product, there was some video lag that made me look like I'm unable to keep a beat.
One day I'll get it right, but not today.

In preparation for putting on more punk and metal live music shows, we’re working on a “Mosh Covenant”.
- Let’s bolster against stress and pass down bodily survival knowledge.
- Let’s get vestibular, safely, with some mosh etiquette.
- Let’s bliss.
- Stimming is beautiful.

Everyday I’m doodling … 🖍
And while I do love drawing, doodling is actually one of my stims (autistic self stimulation). And if you see me do it, know that it keeps me focused during meetings (looking at my old doodles also triggers my memory on what said during a meeting).
This little octopus 🐙 I doodled yesterday during a queer 🏳️🌈 network meeting at work (though I only coloured it in after I got home).
