- Week 13 was about translation. Taking what we know — about access, about co-regulation, about communication — and making it actionable. Turning checklists into infrastructure. Turning citations into frameworks. Turning style notes into principled stances. The theme: access as design, not aftercare. The post Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 13 2026: […]
- Week 12 was about tightening the Stimpunks design system. We turned scattered ideas into a coherent method, and made that method visible and usable. The post Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 12 2026: From Traits to Systems, From Presence to Permission and Regulation first appeared on Stimpunks Foundation.
- This week was a major milestone for Stimpunks. Over the past several weeks we have been building a large set of pages, maps, and design tools. In Week 11 those pieces came together into something much bigger: a coherent knowledge system for understanding and designing neurodivergent environments. Stimpunks is no […]
- This was a light week. We focused on rest. Rest is regulation. Rest is repair. Rest is how we stay present for the work that matters. The post Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 10 2026 first appeared on Stimpunks Foundation.
- Infrastructure. Clearer paths. Stronger spine. February was about tightening the architecture: philosophically, structurally, and operationally. We didn’t just publish more content. We clarified what Stimpunks is, how it works, and how people find their way through it. The post Stimpunks Monthly Newsletter — February 2026 first appeared on Stimpunks Foundation.
- Cavendish Space: a way of describing and designing environments that adapt to neurodivergent nervous systems rather than forcing neurodivergent people to adapt to rigid, sensory-hostile, socially coercive spaces. Cavendish Space is the relational space where conditions, context, and capacities interact. At the heart of Cavendish Space is a simple but […]
- This week we strengthened access infrastructure, clarified our mission, and continued refining how people find their way through Stimpunks. The post Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 9 2026 first appeared on Stimpunks Foundation.
- March 4 is Weird Pride Day. We need Weird Pride more than ever in this moment defined by mass behaviorism, rising compliance culture, and the return of unvarnished eugenics. The post Weird Pride Day 2026 — March 4 first appeared on Stimpunks Foundation.
- This week was about trust + navigation + survivability. We strengthened our public accountability infrastructure, shipped a new hub-based site architecture, and made Stimpunks dramatically easier to enter without already knowing “the right page.” The post Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 8 2026 first appeared on Stimpunks Foundation.
- Update for Week 7 This week we kept building the Stimpunks ecosystem into something more portable, more practical, and more structurally honest. We deepened our work on power, coercion, and compliance culture, adding new real-world stakes to The Cult of Compliance and the Policing of the Norm. Systems of power […]

- Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 13 2026: From Checklists to Patterns Week 13 was about translation. Taking what we know—about access, co-regulation, & communication—and making it actionable. Turning checklists into infrastructure. Turning citations into frameworks. https://stimpunks.org/2026/03/29/stimpunks-org-changelog-for-week-13-2026-from-checklists-to-patterns/
- We reject pity, saviorism, and urgency theater. We fund disabled and neurodivergent labor. We build care infrastructure. We name power honestly. Our Fundraising Manifesto: https://stimpunks.org/manifesto/fundraising/
- Most institutions try to fix people. We redesign environments. The Stimpunks Design Method turns neurodivergent lived experience into practical tools for building spaces where different minds can thrive. stimpunks.org/design/ https://stimpunks.org/design/
- Traits are patterns of how bodyminds work. They are not deficits to fix or diagnoses to label people with. They are recurring ways people experience, process, and move through the world. When environments ignore these traits, people struggle. https://stimpunks.org/patterns/traits/
- “Emergent neurotype: …not a fixed category but a recognizable pattern emerging from organism–environment transactions” This paper, in many ways, provides academic validation of what we’re building with our design patterns. Highly recommended. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/25739581261433443

- Wasn’t AI supposed to make software development easier? Yes: with the right guardrails and practices, routine programming tasks can now be handed off to an LLM. And no: something else is happening at the same time. I’ve heard from a few developers now that the work has not become easier. […]

- Tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) are increasingly proposed as a social safe space for autistic individuals, yet quantitative, large-scale evidence is lacking. Using an online survey (N = 1,113), we compared TTRPG players (n=364), RPG videogame players (n=434), and other videogame players (n=315) across autistic (n=293) and non-autistic (n=820) participants, examining […]
