For our Sunday, August 23, 2026 at 10AM CT, 4PM UK Campfire Learn Together, we are not just watching. We are moving. This session is a practice, a reading, and an argument, in that order.

Infodumplings: Do You Still Have a Favorite Dinosaur?
“Do you still have a favorite dinosaur?” And the question sitting right behind it: why are we expected to “grow out” of our childhood enthusiasms like dinosaurs? Dinosaurs are a popular infodumping interest among Autistic kids, and we are often ridiculed for our enthusiasm — especially as we get older and are expected to get…

Infodumplings: Star Stuff, and the Shelves We Built Last
There is a website we have been building all year that is mostly made of wonder and citations. It is called ★ stuff, it lives at starstuff.earth, and it is thirty-six zines, eleven field guides, five broadsides, and three playlists that all do the same thing: take one fact that is actually settled — piezoelectric…

Infodumplings: The Systems That Get Us Through the Day
Every one of us is running a system we invented ourselves. The alarm labeled with a whole sentence because the word “meds” wasn’t enough. The one drawer where the important things go so they can’t be anywhere else. The spreadsheet nobody else could parse. The playlist that means it is time to start now. The…

Campfire Learn Together: Code for the People
For our Sunday, August 9, 2026 Campfire Learn Together, we are watching and discussing Code for the People, Bao Nguyen’s documentary about open source, the open web, and the people who keep both from closing.

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…

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…

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…
