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.

Celebrating Pride Month with Lilypad Library
Libraries are where you go to find yourself in the record. Proof you existed. Proof you weren’t the first.

Infodumplings: Hot Metal and Cold Light
Type is never neutral. Before the font menu, there was molten lead and spinning film — hot metal typesetting and cold light, and a whole secret language of slugs, mats, and leading. Join us to fall down the typesetting rabbit hole and infodump on the craft that made the printed word.

Stimpunks Monthly Newsletter — May 2026: From framework to fabric. From survival to belonging. From the maps we drew to the paths you wear.
May was a month with two motions running at once. We built architecture — a series hub, a /space/ design system, an evidence base citable enough to hand to a funder. And then we learned the harder lesson the architecture exists to serve: the test of a map is not how well it’s drawn. It’s…

Campfire Learn Together: Teaching in the Wreckage of the Real
For our June 7 2026, Campfire Learn Together, we are watching and discussing Chris McNutt’s “Teaching in the Wreckage of the Real” — a narration drawn from the forthcoming Human Restoration Project Primer, on what it means to teach truth in a world engineered to make truth feel unknowable.

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 22 2026: From the Maps We Drew to the Paths You Wear, From Prescription to Desire Lines
From a navigation overhaul rebuilt on thirty days of traffic data to Cavendish Space mapped against desire lines and lines of flight, Week 22 did the same thing in two registers — it watched where people actually go, then built for them.

Campfire Learn Together: Lines of Flight in the Classroom
For our May 31 Campfire Learn Together, we are watching and discussing Ian Buchanan’s “Lines of Flight in the Classroom” — a lecture applying Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of lines of flight to the classroom as a social assemblage.

Write a Neurodivergent Collaboration Manual
Much collaboration fails before it starts. Not because people don’t care. Not because the work isn’t good. Because the default assumption built into most working environments is that everyone processes, communicates, and participates the same way. That assumption is wrong, and neurodivergent people pay the highest price for it. A collaboration manual is one way…

Infodumplings: Celebrating Libraries with Lilypad Library
This week on Infodumplings, we’re celebrating libraries — what they are, what they mean, what they’ve been for us — and we’re doing it alongside Lilypad Library, a neurodivergent-created children’s show that Stimpunks is proud to fiscally sponsor. We’ll watch a Lilypad Library episode together. Then we’ll infodump: your library stories, your formative reads, your…

We Are Fiscal Sponsors of Lilypad Library
Lilypad Library is a children’s show built on a simple premise: neurodivergent kids deserve to see themselves in stories written by people who actually know what that’s like. Creator Kiersten Case draws from lived experience. The show’s characters are written by and with neurodivergent people — that’s the standard. Nothing About Us Without Us (NAUWU).…

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 21 2026: From Pockets to Pebbles, From Survival Infrastructure to Belonging Infrastructure
From everyday carry to card games, from glossary philosophy to content pages getting what they were owed, Week 21 built survival infrastructure and connection infrastructure at the same time — because for neurodivergent and disabled people, they are the same project.
