Bring Your Muchness Down the Rabbit Hole

About Infodumplings
Infodumplings is a weekly community gathering space where neurodivergent and disabled people bring their muchness — their special interests, their deep dives, their rabbit holes — and share them with people who actually want to hear it.
Each session is anchored in a word or two from the Stimpunks glossary, chosen by the community. From there, we watch, chat, take breaks, and open the mic.
You don’t need to be an expert. You just need something you’ve been thinking about.
Session Info
| Date / Time | |
| Curator Name | |
| Glossary Word | |
| Why This Word? | (optional: what drew you to it?) |
Video Plan
Choose 1–2 videos anchored in or adjacent to your glossary word. The first video sets the tone — something that makes people feel seen tends to land really well.
Tip: Video 1 tends to be longer and the emotional anchor. Video 2 can be shorter, more specific, or a different angle on the same word.

Run of Show
This is a guide, not a script. Adjust freely. The vibe matters more than the clock.
| Time | Duration | Segment |
|---|---|---|
| 7:00 PM | 5 min | 👋 Welcome & housekeeping — introduce the glossary word, set the vibe |
| 7:05 PM | ~25 min | 🎥 Video 1 — watch together |
| 7:30 PM | ~10 min | 💬 Discussion / trivia — use your trivia sheet to spark chat |
| 7:40 PM | 5 min | 🧠 Bodymind break — stretch, stim, snack, step away, no explanation needed |
| 7:45 PM | ~5 min | 🎥 Video 2 (if using) — watch together |
| 7:50 PM | ~10 min | 🎤 Open mic: Sparkles in the Dark — attendees share special interests |
| 8:00 PM | open | ✨ Cozy overflow — keep chatting, hang out, reveal next week’s word |
Trivia / Discussion Questions
Prepare 3–5 questions to use between videos. These don’t need to be hard — they’re sparks, not a quiz. Use them to invite people in, not to test them.
Examples: “What’s one thing from the video that resonated with you?” — “Had you heard this word before today?” — “What’s a moment you’ve experienced this?”

Bodymind Break
Schedule a 5-minute break roughly halfway through. No explanation needed — just announce it warmly and let people do whatever they need.
| Scheduled at | (e.g. 7:40 PM) |
| Break prompt | (optional: a gentle suggestion — stretch, snack, stim, step outside…) |
✨ Sparkles in the Dark: Open Mic
The last 10 minutes are for attendees to briefly share a special interest, hyperfixation, fidget, shiny thing, or anything they’ve been wanting to infodump about. No pressure, no expertise required.
This is the heart of Infodumplings. Your job as curator is just to hold the space and welcome the muchness.
| Open mic prompt | (how will you invite people in? e.g. “Who’s got something they’ve been thinking about?”) |
| Your infodump? | (are you sharing something yourself this session? If so, what?) |
Next Week’s Reveal
End each session with a peek at next week’s glossary word. This can be as simple as showing the word, or as elaborate as a little teaser. Whoever’s curating next can share it, or you can do the reveal for them.
| Next week’s word | (coordinate with the next curator if you know who it is) |
| Reveal idea | (optional: how will you unveil it? a quote, a gif, a dramatic pause…) |
Curator Notes & Reflections
Space for anything that doesn’t fit above — jot things before, during, or after the session.
