Mutual Aid and Human-Centered Learning for Neurodivergent and Disabled People
About us
Stimpunks Foundation challenges the typical approach to helping people who are neurodivergent or disabled. We know what it is like to live with barriers and what it means to not fit in and have to forge our own community. Stimpunks knows that neurodivergent and disabled people have human needs. We offer a humane approach to help our community thrive. Through Stimpunks Foundation, we: Offer financial and mutual aid; Hire our community members as consultants; Provide a learning space designed for our community; and Support our community’s open research efforts. One in seven people has a disability. However, our community receives only 2% of US grant funding and makes up only 18% of the US workforce. We can’t just let that be the truth. We have to challenge the norm and change the narrative around people who are neurodivergent or disabled. Stimpunks Foundation seeks to do just that. You can learn more and join us at stimpunks.org.

Campfire Learn Together: Unlearning Toward Hope with Jason Arday "What we are bereft of is care." For our Sunday, August 30, 2026 Campfire Learn Together, we are mourning and celebrating Professor Jason Arday with two of his own talks — one on neurodiversity, race, and belonging, and one on what happens to a good word after an institution gets hold of it. We are doing this because he is gone, and because of how he was taken....

Campfire Learn Together: Seated Tai Chi, Transformative Somatic Practices, and Bodily Survival Knowledge 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. We start with a twenty-three-minute seated tai chi and qigong class. We talk about Nick Walker's work on transformative somatic practices — his dissertation is in our library, and there is a recent ninety-minute conversation between him and Katy Higgins Lee that puts somatics and neuroqueering in the same room. Then we get loud: a punk happy flappy chair stim dance to Screaming Females covering "Shake It Off." Then we watch a flamenco farruca and steal the hand movements and the foot stomps, seated. Then we close with a music video by our friend Scarlet Monk....

Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 33 2026: From the Gate to the Looking, From the Claim to the Credit This week ★ stuff stopped being a pile of zines and became a library. Twenty-three numbered zines, five field guides, seven printable sheets, thirteen collections, and six automated checking gates — built, in most cases, on the same day somebody thought of them. The broadside form came home from that site to this one as a new Broadsides library. And we rewrote our own Impact page and every financial page behind it, because our published numbers had been wrong for months. We had been marking ourselves down by more than twenty points using a framework built for organizations that hold galas and buy advertising. Along the way we built the machines that check our work, found the exact edge where they stop being able to help, and paid three citation debts we had been carrying without noticing. A checker can tell you the label is legible. It cannot tell you the animal is pointed the wrong way....
