Color Reference for Chewables

The photos below were taken in natural light against a white poster-board background, using a cellphone camera, to create a rough side by side color (and size) reference for our chewables. One sample of each color is shown - for example, the mint UFO is the same color as mint dulcimer, min

Yesterday I took some photos of the chewables with side by side comparisons for each color range. That way you call can see the various colors side by side to compare how light/dark/bright they are. And I guess it also makes a nice size comparison. If you have a few pendants or handhelds, you’ll be able to gauge the size of other items by looking at them beside the ones you own. 

Also, I love colors and things arranged by color so this was a little personal indulgence on a beautiful spring afternoon.

There’s a new girl in my kindergarten class who’s autistic and it’s like she’s barely / not really verbal but like idk she opened up to me a little, I don’t tell people I’m on the spectrum at work because they already treat me horribly because I’m the only poc there but like she’s a little Latina girl who I know exactly how she feels and like I was like “hey Nina, If you don’t wanna talk it’s okay, just thumbs up or thumbs down if you understand the (math) problem? Okay?” So we sorta made like a thumbs up and thumbs down thing between us and today it was the most surreal thing because I like “I know they tell you to make eye contact but I’m gonna tell you a trick, look at their neck, chin, hair, and whatever is behind them, I don’t like eye contact very much either? Thumbs up?” And she said with the smallest voice “Thankyou , for not saying I’m dumb” I wanna be the person I needed when I was her age

I love my tiny nimble hands. With them I can communicate, I can stim, I can draw, I can write, I can create things! I tend to struggle with self-love, but because of my hands, I can find things I like about myself.  :)

That autistic / ADHD feel when you want to do… something.

[shinybluething]

I call this “activity cravings” because it’s like when you want a certain food but you aren’t sure which food. But for activities.

Do I want to go for a walk? Play a game? If so, what kind of game? DO I want to make things? Read? Watch tv? A movie?

[letschristianfeministus]

then when that executive dysfunction comes into play and since you could do literally anything in the world, you end up trapped and unable to choose anything to do at all, and do nothing instead but live in that restlessness

[13faeinapenguinsuit]

One of the best additions to this post yet. This is one of those nuances of choice paralysis that people fail to understand - sometimes it is because we lack the executive function to choose, sometimes we want to do all the things and can’t choose.

So I was really worried like “I hope they cleaned up this weird mess, this could be unhealthy for the ocean,” but it turns out this IS ANIMATED!???

[madamsugarskull]

Hell no, someone HAD to give up their soul to make this- just like the guy who made the realistic animated honey video I saw a while back.
