Feel free to use any of #my gifs in stimboards so long as you credit me ✨
What you'll find on this blog: posts that are stimmy in themselves or else depict / discuss stimming: i share lots of stim tools, body stims like flapping & rocking, gifs and videos of nature, glitter, food, rocks, and more! 🍃
People of any neurotype are welcome here — the only people who should NOT interact here are: anyone who'd use this content for se.xual/ki.nk reasons and anyone who is bigoted against any oppressed groups (so TERFS, transmeds, white supremacists, any LGBTQA-phobes, etc., DNI). 🌙
This blog is the originator of the #stimfreely tag, where ND folks can share the stims they do that are often stigmatized. Feel free to send me asks or dms sharing your favorite stims or whatever else 🌈
Happy stimming! Let me know if you need something tagged!
A nonbinary Arab person happily stims chewing on a mint @stimtastic mushroom chew necklace. They are flapping their left hand and bouncing. In the left gif the fingers are curled while on the right the fingers are more straightened out.
They are wearing a beige hijab with a black undercap and a dusty rose abaya. In the background are pride and joy posters on a blue wall to celebrate LGBT+ pride.]
I am drawing people with different features, which were requested to me, so people can see themselves in art and feel valid and seen. more art in #reqbodyposi hashtag. Requests are closed at this moment because i got too much of them and want to draw them all.
And it’s so funny that you sent this ask right now because I’m literally sitting here scrolling through Tumblr whilst biting on the rim of my can of coke….
chewing on the spout on my water bottle is one of my most common stims, because i bring it with me everywhere! just glad i’ve got one with such a durable lid…
I love chewing as a stim but I've got jaw problems at the moment and I'm not meant to chew too much and chew hard things. Anyone have any ideas of alternatives or soft things I can chew without damaging my jaw?
Hey there! i’m sorry to hear about your jaw problem. For some reason the first thing popping into my head is a plastic drinking straw or something similar – you could arrange the straw so it’s along all the back molars of one side of your mouth and just gently chew on it; since it’s so thin it wouldn’t require much jaw movement.
Also – maybe styrofoam, such as a styrofoam cup?
Anyone else have recommendations for chewing stims that work when you have jaw problems and aren’t supposed to be chewing too much?

The gif starts with the person smiling at the camera and hopping while flapping their hands, then picking up the purple chewy and chewing on it, still flapping. / end image description
