This week was about trust + navigation + survivability.

We strengthened our public accountability infrastructure, shipped a new hub-based site architecture, and made Stimpunks dramatically easier to enter without already knowing “the right page.”

Updates

What We Changed (Big Moves)

1) We built an Accountability & Transparency hub (BBB-aligned).
We created a central home for governance, disclosures, donor rights, and financial clarity to support compliance with BBB Standards for Charity Accountability.

• Accountability & Transparency hub: https://stimpunks.org/about/accountability/
• BBB Crosswalk: https://stimpunks.org/about/accountability/bbb-standards-alignment/

2) We launched Hub Architecture across the site.
We published a set of major hubs so people can navigate by need instead of guessing.

• Start Here: https://stimpunks.org/start-here/
• Monotropism & Attention Worlds: https://stimpunks.org/monotropism/
• Communication & Interaction Access: https://stimpunks.org/communication-access/
• Burnout & Sensory Safety: https://stimpunks.org/sensory-safety/
• Everyday Neurodivergent Realities: https://stimpunks.org/everyday-realities/
• Justice & Systems: https://stimpunks.org/systems/
• Learning Spaces: https://stimpunks.org/learning-spaces/
• Glossary Map: https://stimpunks.org/glossary-map/
• Languages: https://stimpunks.org/languages/

3) We installed universal navigation helpers.
We added a sitewide “Find Your Way Through Stimpunks” footer module and a “Most Read / Start Here” module near the top of the homepage. The goal: easier to enter, easier to survive, harder to get lost in.
We also revamped: https://stimpunks.org/map/
And published a plain-language orientation guide: https://stimpunks.org/how-to-read/

Why This Week Matters
