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…

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…

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.

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.

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.…

Two prides,…

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.

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.
