2016 is feeling more and more like that bit in movies where the time traveller accidentally kills a bug and when they return the world is Not Quite Right
- stimming (waving his hands above his head, foot tapping, finger tapping, rocking back and forth…)
- Has a sensory object (his fuzzy pink blanket)
- Says/does things inappropriate for the situation (… Basically like every episode with him in it)
- shuts down (facing the wall when Wander was singing to him in My Fair Hatey, The Funk)
- insensitive towards other people’s motions and needs
- Trouble with making/maintaining relationships (friendship with Peepers)
- social awkwardness
- self centered
- needs constant attention/affirmations
- short temper
- inappropriate outbursts of emotions
- trouble with focusing on certain tasks, easily distracted (The It)
- can be intensely focused on certain tasks (destroying Wander)
- surprisingly intelligent (building the HATE-RV)

There is a petition to try and call another referendum about the EU, with a rule asking for a 60% majority before a decision is made. Yes this is a shitty time, but hopefully there’s still a chance to fix things. The Leave campaign have already gone back on some of their promises before the referendum, so please, if you can, can you sign this? If we get 100 000 signatures parliament have to debate it, so please. Even if you’re not in the UK if you can share this to try and get it out there, that would be fantastic. Here’s the link:
In French, you call a person you love your “pomme de terre” which literally translated means your “hold on the earth,” or the one who keeps you here on earth, the one who keeps you grounded.
