just discovered a new favorite fidget item?? and honestly i didn’t expect it to be one, but it’s great. BEANIE BABIES.
some of the animal ones have whiskers to smooth out. they have beads on the inside to shuffle around and into the limbs. stuffing in the head to squish. bead eyes to tap on hard surfaces for a amusing click. tails to pull on, twist, or wrap around a finger. there are so many things to fidget with when it comes to beanie babies. i’m astounded.

The fun Grey Area of buying offbrand fast fashion and fast-adjacent fashion, but then wearing it for years because you bought it for Broke reasons or Style I Love On Sale reasons.
Like... yeah, I do have some athletic wear and socks from Costco, some shirts from Hot Topic, even some blouses I bought from H&M before I learned how damaging it is.
But most of them are machine-washable cotton so I can wear them for uhhhhh [checks] I've still got Patagonia shirts from fifteen years ago, so I'll be wearing them that long if they don't fall apart from Lesser Quality and Rough Use
(Obviously, Patagonia is intended to last much longer than the general cheap-ish brands I'm talking about, but I needed an example of a known brand I've definitely had for that long to use as an example of how long I'd keep a shirt once I get it. There are others that I've had for a while but can't actually remember when I got them, like the Tinkerbell shirt.)
(I also do have some of my mom's blouses from the late 90s/early aughts so. I clearly don't care overly much about things going out of fashion.)
Like... I could do better than I am, but at least I'm doing better than the average?
#personal#phoenix talks#economics#fast fashion#I do try to limit myself to organic materials outside of Specific Items (namely athleticwear and rain jackets) so at least there's that?#IDK I try not to get rid of anything unless it doesn't fit or has a sensory issue#rare exceptions include merch for things I am no longer comfortable with owning (HP and SnK are the main examples)

A squishy-squashy raccoon toy filled with jelly orbs by Infantino. Bought at a clearance price from Smyths in January 2023, after a friend and I spent a reasonable length of time just standing there and squishing a bunch of them...
#raccoon#Infantino#sensory toy#baby toy#plushie#toys#bright colour#gif#I guess I now own exactly 2 raccoon items and both are baby toys. what's with that huh

I don't know who needs to hear this but if your clothes are too big or too small and causing you discomfort or sensory issues for any reason you deserve ones that will make you more comfortable. U don't have to tough it out. U deserve to be comfy.
#Something I learned this week.#A specific piece of clothing was a sensory nightmare to me and I thought I didn't deserve to replace it because it was partially due to#being in between sizes. And for a while I thought I just had to exist and be miserable.#I finally decided that wasn't right. Got a few necessary items in the right size.#And it's been better for me. No meltdowns.#I'm sorry I know this post has a lot of run-on sentences.#Sensory issues

i know what you are monkey d. luffy (autistic)
#one piece#monkey d. luffy#straw hat luffy#one piece luffy#autistic luffy#like he is very blunt and struggles with conversation and social norms#has one (1) singe greeting that he uses like clockwork#and is easily distracted by sensory input#is very dedicated to becoming the pirate king and very interested in beetles (spintrests)#diet mainly consists of one food type (safe foods)#has very abnormal ways of building relationships#and his straw hat is his comfort item and wears pretty much the same outfit all the time#indifferent to extreme temperatures until it’s pointed out#like if that is not an autistic man then idk what is#and there is probably a lot more evidence that i’m not thinking of rn

Idea that Mike sees something that he things will have a good texture and just touches it
Like a random shirt at a mall, or a cup that’s disregarded on a table
And when it’s a horrid feeling he’ll be like “oh shit nope that not good.”
THIS ASK IS SOO CUTE!! i definitely think mike has a tendency to wanna sensory seek sometimes, but also I feel like it's something he masks a lot of the time because to most people, it would look weird. he usually will brush things with the tips of his fingers or even wanna smell things or just,,,pet things, but then he misjudges something and touches it and the texture is horrible and he gags out loud and immediately starts wiping his hands on hjs pants with all the regret in the world 😭 I think that's also something that tends to discourage him from sensory seeking, cuz he really doesn't like bad textures and gets really bad feelings about certain unfamiliar textures , so when he sees something he thinks he wants to touch, hes just like "well what if its bad......"
#asks#anon#mike sensory seeking 😭#he definitely has Safe Sensory items at the pad that he messes with#or maybe a few stress toys that he fiddles and fidgets with#this ask is sooo cute

The irony of stores selling "stim toys" or "sensory toys" and then blasting pop music really loudly and having bright, fluorescent lights, or even flashing lights...Really seems they think "stim/sensory" means "'satisfying' to watch on the video app du jour" and not what it actually means.
#source: my roommate is autistic and I'm neurodivergent but not autistic...#...and there are a few stores where even if she has her noise-cancelling headphones and even sunglasses...#...the store is too loud and too bright despite their line of 'sensory friendly toys'...#...and I often reach a point with the blasting music and get overwhelmed...it's just too much#So it really feels like they have no idea who actually benefits from stim/sensory items and why#It's just another fad to retailers they can market of off...#Not sorry that when I go to shop I need to not have the latest pop music blaring down at me so I can form a thought...#...instead of leaving the store feeling drained and dazed

I love that the Omegaverse takes sensory issues seriously!
#textures bad = item immediately canceled and band from the nest#bad smells = band from the nest#bright lighting = often band from the nest#strong smells = often not appropriate to have on in public#I just want soft clothes and relaxing social situations man#peoples random phone sounds = band in at least my personal nest (fr I cannot stand it when people have like TikTok sound coming out of their#phone in public)#the Omegaverse#alpha/beta/omega dynamics#omega posting#sensory issues#migranes#the genre might have its problems but I am in the corner sweeping them under the rug in favor of affirming my headcannons

boots theory of economics except for energy levels ie. the way i have to drag myself through a place where food can be purchased multiple times a week because each time i only have the energy and brain power to grab a handful of small items
#it remains a constant struggle to keep food in the house#im well aware that overall itd be more energy efficient to have a larger list and make a longer trip weekly or even-#imagine!!!#-every other week but i never have the spoons required to frontload the effort like that#without even getting into the way everything is closed when i get off work and sometimes sensory or gi issues mean i cant eat either of the#like 2 food items i have at home#anyway!#things no one cares about#disability

i don't understand this hatred against minimalism on this website, i mean i get that rich people having huge white rooms with white furniture and one single decoration is annoying, but why is the answer to that to praise rooms that are decorated in a horror vacui way, don't you guys get sensory overloads
#everyone is like booo minimalism i hoard everything! ok. i go crazy if i have to spend more than a couple of hours in rooms like that#but i would also go crazy in a white room. wheres the balance#both of these extremes give me the feeling of having a sensory overload at a shopping mall (1.seeing too many different items#2. big bright white spaces)#or maybe its just that i might be neurodivergent and normal people dont get sensory overloads so easily lol

I love you autism acceptance online and how it’s shaped my life recently
#having money and the car fixed means I can buy things and go places and not feel judged. for example. I bought that little pop it shape#board thing online and use it every day at some point it’s so nice and relaxing and then I just went to five below and I bought a sensory#bucket thing that came with a lid and sand and little water beads and little trinkets to hide in the sand#but it’s like black glittery kinteic sand that falls really nicely and feels really light and doesn’t get stuck under ur nails and ohhhhhh#it’s so so so so so nice and I wouldn’t have let myself buy it a year ago but like#thank you internet bc I now feel like I’m allowed to enjoy sensory items and play without completely hating myself for having fun and being#happy
