Infodumplings: Otters Already Know How to Rest
This week we’re making the otters the whole point.

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…

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…

Infodumplings: Farming While Beige, or How to Feed Everybody While Being Funny as Hell
Somewhere between a kill floor in Westmoreland County and a phone camera held at arm’s length, a farmer named Chris Newman has been quietly running one of the most coherent structural critiques of America you can watch in under three minutes.

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.…

Infodumplings: All the Colors That There Are
Queer and neurodivergent liberation are entwined. We’re celebrating both at once — because for many of us, the two rainbows are one. Tonight’s Infodumplings lands on the opening night of Neurodiversity Pride Week, which runs June 11–17 with Neurodiversity Pride Day itself on June 16, all of it nested inside queer Pride Month. 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.

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…

Infodumplings: Thomas Dambo and the Giants That Grow from What We Threw Away
We’re gathering for an Infodump on the troll art of Danish artist Thomas Dambo — on recycling, upcycling, biodiversity, and the integration of made things into the living world. On what it means to bricolage not just a sculpture but an argument. On the radical claim, embedded in every one of his giants, that the…

Infodumplings: Kintsugi and Finding the Gold Within You
For the next edition of Infodumplings: Bring Your Muchness Down the Rabbit Hole, our curator is sharing on kintsugi — the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold or silver lacquer, treating every fracture as part of the vessel’s history rather than a flaw to erase. The more it has broken and been repaired,…
