Penguin Pebbling – An Autistic Love Language

On this page, our community shares our favorite pebbles with you, and with each other.

Pebbles can be songs, videos, poems, quotes, photographs, art, and anything else you might share on social media. Pebbles can be anything. Anything made by you or by others. Whatever you like. Our website turns web links to places like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, and more into embeds that can be played and paused.

We share our soul samefoods.

We share our SpIns.

We share our fandom.

We share artifacts of our constructionism.

This is community show-and-tell.

We share joy. We share sorrow. We share anger. We share pride.

We share the silly and the serious.

We share our truth, our lived experience.

We share to remember. We share to forget.

We share to cope and create community.

Let’s capture this moment, weaving the individual into a collective right now.

Two penguins with hearts on their chests stand among piles of rocks.

Text reads:

Neurodivergent Friendships
Friendships may look different if you are neurodivergent.
You may engage more in
parallel play alongside each other.

You might like to exchange little 'penguin pebbles' to
show you care. This may involve sharing gifs, photos
or special collections of objects.

We restart this page semi-quarterly. Submissions are now open for the first quarter of 2025. If you’re in our community or an allied one, we’d love to include your pebble in our weaving.

We fell in love with Chappell Roan.

We play Chappell Roan in our team watch party all the time. Watching her blow up into a super star and queer icon has been awesome. Pink Pony Club is a weird pride and queer pride anthem that stays in rotation.

We also love Red Wine Supernova.

And the Tiny Desk set.

And the Coachella set.

And everything else she does.

The NeeDoh Nice Cube by Schylling is a great squeeze.

Blue, pink, and purple squeezable cubes.

The song Messy by Lola Young has made me feel so seen.

Our society is unsustainable. Right now we’re in the throes of late capitalism, looming energy and materials crises, and catastrophic climate change. While it’s important to acknowledge that these are systemic problems that won’t be solved by individualist solutions, it’s also important for me to align my work to my conscience and material availability in a challenging future.

A ribbon-like, collaged entity wraps around a gilded, gold square. Inside the square is an archway with a star above it. Surrounding the square are drawings of a face and door, collaged sheet music, and text in Wormrōte that reads 'I'm still trying to find my way into myself'.

Five multi-colored goblins in a small parade beneath the text 'Goblin Week' in Wormrōte. The first carries a banner, two are fighting with knives, one has a knife through them, and the last laughs and cheers.
