a diagonal, blurred striped flag which is mirrored on a line from the bottom left to the top right. from the outer edge to the middle of the flag, the colors are: yellow, orange, salmon, maroon, purple, and navy. on the diagonal line there are small silver Stars of David scattered, along with even smaller sparkles of each color of the rainbow. in the top left and bottom right of the flag, there are yellow suns peeking out.

nivrah bein hashmashot

a term for queer jews, translating to "created between the suns" in reference to the night between the sixth and seventh days of creation. the rainbow was created then, along with other things that transcended binaries.

a six-striped horizontal flag, from top to bottom they are a blue gradient from lightest to darkest, except the 4th stripe is beige, to look like land, in contrast to the ocean below and sky above. in the middle of the top half of the flag is
a rainbow, resting on the beige stripe. under the rainbow, the beige stripe stops and reveals the ocean, so that the rainbow looks like a bridge. arching over the rainbow are white, short lines, which end in an arrow at the right side of the flag

ovri

term for queer (especially trans and/or gender non-conforming) jews, translating to "one who crosses over" which can reference transition or subverting gender/sexuality norms. the plural is ovrim.

these flags/terms are jewish-exclusive! other than that, feel free to use

if you credit/tag me, you can use these flags as inspiration or redesign them!

this is genuinely so helpful i need to look at this every day lol

I'm autistic and I currently feel like shit checklist

Hi there. Are you autistic? Do you currently feel like shit and don't know why? Try this checklist to see if you can Fix The Problem!

When was the last time you used the bathroom? If you answered "I don't know" or "at least 3 hours ago", go now!

Do you need a drink? Go get one if you don't have one in front of you.

When was the last time you ate? If you haven't eaten yet today, consider eating A Meal, or perhaps A Snack. Something is better than nothing, eat whatever you feel able to!

Is there something in your immediate surroundings that is bothering you? If the light is too bright, turn it off. If there is an annoying sound, make the sound stop or reduce your ability to hear it (earplugs, headphones, etc.). If your clothes are bothering you, change them.

Is your space messy? Pick one area of your room and clean it up as best you can. Clean your whole room if you have the energy!

When was the last time you did An Activity? Scrolling on social media doesn't count. Try actively doing something fun! Play a game you like, read a book, make something, or go for a walk.

When was the last time you Spoke to a Person? Consider talking to a person you like if it has been a while.

How long has it been since you did something Special Interest related? Make some time to do that today. Infodump to a friend, have a nice long research session, look at related images or gifs, make art about it, whatever works best for you!

Try stimming actively! Put on some music and dance, spin in circles, go to the park and use the swings!

If you still feel like shit after trying all of these things, you might be tired or sick. Go to bed early and get some rest. Hopefully you will feel better tomorrow!

Hope that helps :)
