Blog
This blog is a record of our work and an invitation to community.
We publish weekly changelogs — a running account of what we built, who we read, and why it matters. We announce Campfire Learn Together sessions, where we watch and discuss talks that deepen our shared vocabulary. We host Infodumplings, a space for neurodivergent people to share what they know and love.
The blog is openly licensed. The thinking is documented on purpose. We believe showing the work is part of the work.

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 26 2026: From Convergence to Lineage, From the Bloodline to Brighter Days
The crosswalks grew a home this week, and the new ones trace bloodlines instead of resemblances — a folk school and the freedom schools it raised. The home page named who we are before what we do. And a foundation reached out with brighter days in its name.

Campfire Learn Together: The Dive and the Water — Dolphining, Attachment Theory, and the Broken-Systems Frame
For our Sunday, June 28, 2026 Campfire Learn Together, we’re putting two of our glossary entries in the same room and watching what happens. Dolphining is about how a mind moves through a conversation. Attachment Theory — read through a neurodivergent lens — is about how a mind forms safety with other people. On the…

Infodumplings: I Saw This and Thought of You
Penguins give each other pebbles. A penguin will search the whole beach for the smoothest, most perfect stone, carry it across the colony in its beak, and set it down at the feet of someone it has chosen. It isn’t useful. You can’t eat it. It just says one thing, completely: I thought of you.…

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 25 2026: From the Clinic to the Machine, From the Watch List to the Action
From a model of distress to the architecture of a machine, Week 25 gave the method a name — ARLES — and read three bodies of research against it, finding the same shape each time. And the watch list became an action.

My pride’s a riot, it’s not a parade.
My pride’s a riot, not a parade. This Autistic Pride Day arrives ornery. The right to live in community is being dismantled on every front at once — behaviorism rebranded as care, eugenics said out loud, the institution waiting at the end of every cut. Neuronormative domination is the key problem of our time, and…

Why Sheets: Pushing back on the status quo, so you don’t have to do it alone.
Families are asked to justify what should be obvious. Why Sheets make the case for you — free, editable, open-licensed, and ready for the room.

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 24 2026: From the Threshold to the Frontline, From Converging Toward to Refusing to Consent
From research that arrives near the door and stops at the threshold of systemic action to an editorial that crosses it, Week 24 worked the line between the environmental layer and the systemic one — and named who keeps getting priced out of the room.

Community Living Is Being Dismantled on Every Front at Once
The right of disabled people to live in our own communities is being taken apart. Not in one place, and not by one ruling. On both sides of the Atlantic — through courts, through budgets, through quiet rule changes that never make the news — the systems that let disabled people stay in our homes…

Campfire Learn Together: Free for All — A People’s History of the Public Library
For our June 14, 2026, Campfire Learn Together, we are watching and discussing Free for All: The Public Library — Dawn Logsdon’s documentary tracing how the most trusted, least controversial institution in American life became a battleground in the culture wars, and how it got built in the first place. Not by one hero. By…

Infodumplings: All the Colors That There Are
Queer and neurodivergent liberation are entwined. We’re celebrating both at once — because for many of us, the two rainbows are one. Tonight’s Infodumplings lands on the opening night of Neurodiversity Pride Week, which runs June 11–17 with Neurodiversity Pride Day itself on June 16, all of it nested inside queer Pride Month. Two prides,…

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 23 2026: From the Work to the Way In, From Coded Out to Built For
From three pages that had everything but an opening to three sources that named the door code slams shut, Week 23 worked the same threshold from both sides — it built the doors we hold open and named the ones coded shut.
