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 Monthly Newsletter — July 2026
From the tangle to the map. From the door to the whole building. From the warning to the welcome. June was the month the method got a name and found its ancestors. July was the month we made the work walkable.

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 31 2026: From the Map to the Directory, From the Warning to the Welcome
This week we made the building easy to walk. We published a full Site Directory — every section, every page, nothing hidden behind a menu you have to guess at. We broke the House Style Guide out of its accordions so every guide has an address you can link and cite. We gave readers a…

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 30 2026: From the Weather to the Compass, From the Light to the Dark
This week we read the weather out loud. We published a PESTEL and SWOT of the whole organization — strengths to be useful, weaknesses to be trusted — and set it beside our finances and governance, where anyone can check it. We gathered the nine documents we steer by into one place, so you can…

Infodumplings: Otters Already Know How to Rest
This week we’re making the otters the whole point. We’ll put a live otter cam up on the shared screen, watch mammals do the thing we’re so often punished for doing, and talk about rest as something our animal kin practice openly and without apology. Bring your best rest in the animal world facts and…

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 29 2026: From the Word to the Card, From the Bone to the Star
Two front doors opened this week, and neither one asks you to say it out loud. Cavendish Cards lets a child point instead of explain. ★ stuff says you were made of stars long before anyone asked you to earn your place. We also gave a common dread a working name, and found an Autistic…

Infodumplings: Show Your Work, One Card at a Time
Most of what we make, we make in the dark. The half-drawn thing, the spreadsheet nobody’s seen, the mod that only works if you don’t breathe on it, the deck of cards that is fifty-five cards and two blanks and an open invitation to draw the fifty-sixth. This week’s Infodumplings is a show your work…

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 28 2026: From Working to Resting, From the Quiet and the Dark to the Otters
A rest week. We let the weekly events carry it and took the recovery in the gaps. Our friends at the Lilypad Library launched their Kickstarter. Helen wrote about otters. Fungi work in the quiet and the dark, and this week, so did we.

Campfire Munch Together: Why Don’t Fascists Eat Vegetables?
Some watch-alongs are a snack. This one is a whole pantry. The Leftist Cooks spent seven months and made a video essay nearly six hours long, and we’re going to sit with all of it in one long, gentle marathon. Bring your samefoods and your safe foods, settle your bodymind in, and let a pair…

Infodumplings: Spoon Theory — An Invitation To Count Your Spoons With Us
“I’ve learned to live life with an extra spoon in my pocket, in reserve.” — Christine Miserandino Sometime around 2003, in a diner, late, over french fries and gravy, a woman named Christine Miserandino got handed a question she’d never been able to answer even for herself. Her best friend — who had gone to…

Campfire Learn Together: The Mycelial Worldview Is Punk
For our July 12 Campfire Learn Together, we are watching and discussing two short films about fungi, mycelial networks, and the people who think alongside them — a six-minute overture and a thirty-five-minute documentary, forty-one minutes in all. Together they carry an argument we already live by: that the way fungi grow, decompose, connect, and…

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 27 2026: From the Tangle to the Map, From the Machine to the Root
The AI pages got a map this week — a front door, a split, and three new crosswalks. Underneath them, a root: Dinah Murray, whose monotropism-and-computing work is the bloodline of everything we say about machines. And a crosswalk handed us a name we’d been missing — relational opacity, the right not to be fully…
