We’re wrapping up June with some rainbow-themed stim toy giveaways on all of our social media channels. Enter to win the set shown in the photo by reblogging and/or commenting.

A random winner will be chosen on Saturday, June 27th at noon ET. For more chances to win, check out our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram giveaways too.

(And a special thank you to Aukquill for making and donating the bead lanyards.)

Photo description: Four rainbow-themed stim toys on a white background. The first is a rectangular chewable silicone necklace shaped like a xylophone or building block with pairs of raised bumps side by along its surface. Each pair of bumps is on a horizontal color band that together make up a red, orange yellow, green, blue, and violet rainbow. The next item is a plastic bead lanyard with a keyring at one end, made of beads that form a purple to brown/black to purple rainbow. The third item is a stainless steel ring with 3 rainbow striped plastic beads on it. The final item is a flip sequin mermaid tail key chain charm with rainbow sequins. It is quite a bit larger than any of the other items.

Social Distancing Online Entertainment Masterpost

Right, I’ve only been back from uni for 2 days and my mental health has already ✨ 𝓳𝓾𝓼𝓽 𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓪𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓾𝓹 𝓯𝓾𝓬𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓿𝓪𝓷𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓮𝓭 ✨. I’ve read all the articles so you don’t have to and I thought I’d just make a big-ass list. Keep it going in the comments!

Go On A Virtual Holiday

Google Arts and Culture has high quality 360° degree tours of many famous museums, galleries, landmarks, theatres and national parks as well as close up images of artworks and exhibitions from all around the world.

Using street view on google maps you can visit (almost) anywhere in the world, including Disneyland, Hollywood Studios, Kew Gardens, and many other attractions and landmarks. 

Interactive world history timeline from the British Museum

Virtual Tours are available of: The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, The Met, The Dali Museum, Blarney Castle in Cork, Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, The Louvre, The Picasso Museum, NASA Langley, NASA Glenn, The Vatican Museum, United States Airforce Museum, Buckinghan Palace, and a list of others here

Or go abroad via a live webcam feed 

Animals!

Monterey Bay Aquarium streams several live cameras on its website and social media

Live Cams are available of: San Diego Zoo,  Smithsonian National Zoo, Edinburgh Zoo, Folly Farm, and many others here, here, and here

Play with cats and dogs by remotely controlling a laser or treat dispenser using the Petcube app, it was made for people to check up on their pets while they’re away but anyone can use the live cameras

Play Online Games With Friends

Cards Against Humanity (make sure you’re all on the same server or you won’t be able to find eachother)

Kahoot

The Wikipedia Game (you can play this individually without this website but this is a great way of racing against someone else)

GeoGuessr

Monopoly

THOUSANDS of other games there are so many websites out there. It may seem a bit old school now but some of the Facebook games are actually pretty good in terms of playing against friends

Listen To Music

Keep an eye out on your favourite artists’ social media, many of them are arranging mini live concerts on facebook, instagram, youtube and twitch

Rave allows you to screen share youtube videos as well as other media so you can have a custom festival while video chatting or just chill and listen to the same thing

The Vienna State Opera is live streaming ballet and opera performances for free, as is the Met Opera

Watch Movies And TV With Friends

Netflix party is a chrome browser extension allows you and your friends to watch the same netflix show at the same time and includes a group chat sidebar so you don’t have to keep looking down at your phone

As mentioned above, Rave lets you screenshare netflix, youtube and vimeo

Misc.

Print some of these online colouring book pages or these colouring pages from various museum gift shops

Zooniverse is a personal fave of mine, it’s a really great citizen science website where you can contribute to different projects by looking at photos from safari camera traps and space telescopes as well as transcribing ancient documents. A really good way to do something positive in this situation

I think this really speaks for itself

Make topical personalised 20 second hand washing instructions using your loved ones’ favourite songs using https://washyourlyrics.com/ 

Visit some random websites using boredbutton, or the useless web 

You Can Do Things In  R  e  a  l    L  i  f  e  Too!

Marie Kondo your clothes and belongings, donate/sell/repurpose/throw away things that do not ‘spark joy’ any more.

Food shortages caused by idiots panic buying can be scary but use this as an opportunity to experiment with ingredients which are available and possibly a bit more out of your comfort zone if you have the time/money to spare.

If you’re with other people, have a huge game tournament spanning several days. play a different game each evening and keep score of whoe wins. when you’ve played all the games you can think of then find a way to reward the winner. If you’re living alone or in isolation, do the same thing with the online games above.

Create an indoor scavenger hunt: write a series of clues linking to different locations around your house and ask your players to stay still for a bit while you hide them, then let them work their way through the clues until they reach the end. if you want to challenge yourself, try to make each clue rhyme.

If you have a pet, try to teach them a new trick

Train up your non dominant hand

Use the millions of home workout videos on youtube

Learn a new language on duolingo (or a similar app if you, like me, are highly suspicious of the green owl’s motives)

Read and watch everything on your list

Actually use some of those art supplies you’re hoarding (I am mostly talking to myself here…)

And so much other stuff!!! be kind to yourself, this is a horrible time for everyone but especially for those of us with crappy mental health. Remember that you are allowed to be stressed and upset, it is a perfectly reasonable response to the situation! keep in touch with friends and family and follow the instructions being given by your health services! we can and will get through this together 💖

bill draws the birds he sees and gives them to stan. stan has collected them all and cherished them therefore he has a binder dedicated to bill’s artwork.

the drawings help him feel at peace when his mind is going 100000 mph. they slow down his thoughts and allows him to concentrate on a certain stuttering boy. a boy that makes stan’s mind fuzzy and warm.

[defnotnaomi]

After the flashback of Stan’s bar mitzvah Richie says ‘thanks for being there stan’

So like concept, Stan was the only one who Richie told about liking guys and he helped him through a lot of his gay panic

Concept 2.0 Stan had a crush on Bill and the only one that knew was Richie, they helped each other with their gay panic because *best friends*

no tea no shade but were the It Chapter 2 creators aware that they were also coding stanley as queer when they made him flash back only to bill, illuminated in golden light and staring intensely into stan’s eyes, while stan cried and said bill’s name.

LISTEN UP

I’m American. I live right in the southwest and let me tell you, it’s hell over here right now, but it will become a lot worse if Article 13 is passed. 

You’ve probably heard about Article 13, and if you haven’t, go watch this video right now. Whatever you’re doing can wait for sixteen minutes and two seconds, because a second-long vote could destroy everything online.

Whether you’re from Europe or not, this law could affect you, so you should care Article 13 because it is going to destroy the online lives that you have built. No more posting memes, no more remixes, and no more YouTubers from anywhere.

MatPat won’t.

Dan and Phil.

How to Basic. 

All of your favorite content creators are at risk of losing their jobs because people want stricter laws on copyright, which will support the larger media companies but kill smaller creators. And because of this, we may lose everything online. 

So spread the word! Reblog this, reblog other people’s posts, find petitions, write your own posts! If you’re in Europe, contact your MEP’s and get them to understand how it will affect the people who use the internet. 

Please.

little jack kelly moments i truly appreciate 

[defnotnaomi]

A man finds himself living in a run down area, vying for the affection of a woman who is already in a relationship with a medical professional. When attempting to gain success at his job, he comes across a nonhumanoid alien whose body is composed of strange tendrils and a large, toothy maw. This alien gains nourishment from the man’s body, but eventually decides that this isn’t enough, and forces him to kill someone for it to eat. As it does so, it utters it’s famous three-word catchphrase:
