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.

“Now That’s What I Call A Pebble Board” — Summer 2026 remix
On Thursday, 6/25/26, a bunch of us got together for two hours and just vibed — songs, art, jokes, a few things worth keeping. Genuinely one of the good ones. Here’s what we brought each other.

Mel Baggs — Ballastexistenz
read more
A foundational voice in Autistic self-advocacy. On being cognitively, physically, developmentally, and psychiatrically disabled, using a communication device, and refusing to be flattened into one story: “every person is different, even a person with a collection of labels identical to mine.”
Sigil
Wikipedia

A little detour into symbol-magic: sigils as condensed intentions, from medieval grimoires to chaos magic to corporate logos. Came up alongside a stash of hand-drawn symmetrical patterns.
Focaccia from Overproofed Sourdough
Garden of Mirth

Mind-blowing fact of the gathering: focaccia is just what happens when sourdough gets away from you. Nothing wasted, just redirected.
Now That’s What I Call Music!

A wave of shared nostalgia for the compilation CDs a lot of us grew up with — the official home of the series, for anyone who wants to fall down that hallway again.
Informed vs. Educated

Being informed means you know what happened. Being educated means understanding why, who paid for it, and what they needed you to think.
‘They Want Racial Holy War’
Aaron Bastani & Matt Kennard, Novara Media
A conversation on the U.S./British withdrawal from Afghanistan and what came after.

A wizard, walking away from a cloud-shrouded sky fortress, deadpan caption included. Pure penguin-pebble energy.
Untitled Watercolor Spread

A two-page watercolor world in pink, orange, and purple — a cliff-face with a small carved window, a frog peeking out, and a green frog-knight lounging in the corner.

“This is from a while ago but it’s something I made to play around with lighting in digital paintings” — a profile split between cool blue and warm red-gold light.

The “SJ” Station ID
designed by NewPartingtonPower
read more
A glossy, VHS-warped “station ID” logo — made with ntsc-rs for the tape-decay effect, and based on the WBIR-TV 1983–1995 logo. A broken heart tucked right between the letters.
“I overthink, but do I overthink enough?”

A raccoon, a drink, and the eternal question.

Norah loved the shirt’s message so much, she got it as a flash tattoo that day too — a message worth carrying on her skin, not just her sleeve.

No Rainbow Crosswalk? No Problem.
City of Austin

When the State of Texas threatened Austin over a rainbow crosswalk, the city answered with a louder, prouder mural instead — with drag performers Maxine LaQueen and Simone Riviera showing up for it.

Stimpunks Foundation was named a grantee of the Seen & Celebrated Fund, tied to the Eternal Sunshine tour’s Austin stop. Ariana Grande reshared it herself: “Stimpunks is a mutual aid organization by and for disabled & neurodivergent people that provides educational resources, accessibility tools, and creator grants.” Norah & Chelsea bought hoodies to celebrate.

Om Malik
shared for Ryan afterward, as they were unable to attend the gathering — this is truly important to all of Stimpunks
“Without my recently departed friend Om Malik, WordPress arguably wouldn’t still exist. Automattic… wouldn’t exist. Stimpunks probably wouldn’t exist. I sold part of Automattic to fund Stimpunks. We certainly wouldn’t have been able to pay staff all these years without Om.”Read the full tribute →
“When the wealthiest men in tech tried to return to colonialism, Om made the wickedness of their plan plain to the world. His words changed global plans.”
“Be like Om. Remember beyond the mythology. Forgetting is a tool of white supremacy.”
— May his memory be a revolution.
