The concourse

The Feed

A board is set by somebody with a machine. It is a picture of the railway and it is not the railway.

Stimpunks is not one site. There is the big one, and there are the small ones each built to take one kind of weight off it, and every one of them publishes an RSS feed nobody needs an account to read. This room is a hall of indicator boards, one wire per feed, showing what has most recently arrived on each; this street has two, its changelog and the Brass Tacks Board.

This room’s channel on the CB hears every new arrival as it comes in, said by The Feed itself a few minutes after it is published. Follow the room on the radio to be told, and talk about what arrived.

Stimpunks Foundation

The big site, and the one all the others were built to take weight off. Weekly changelogs, weekly reflections, and the notices for Campfire and Infodumplings.

  1. Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 44 2026: From the Haunted House to Cel Street, From the Suggestion Box to the Site

Star Stuff

Zines, field guides, broadsides and working papers, each one arriving with the line it leads with. This wire is the pieces themselves; the reasoning is a second feed beside it.

  1. Edition Eleven
  2. Edition Ten
  3. Edition Nine
  4. Edition Eight
  5. Edition Seven
  6. Edition Six

This site keeps another feed as well: the changelog. This wire is not that one.

Queering.Earth

A cabinet of sheets, built in a week with Helen Edgar. This wire is what has been mounted; the register's own accessions, corrections included, are a second feed beside it.

  1. Metaphoray
  2. Known and Felt and Seen
  3. Held, Not Fixed
  4. Every Day’s Most Quiet Need
  5. The plate
  6. My Gloomy Sunflowers

This site keeps another feed as well: the accession register. This wire is not that one.

Cavendish Space

The Cavendish Cards deck and the site that holds it. One row per dated entry, which is why some of these rows are named after a day rather than a thing.

  1. 2026-10-23 — Site
  2. 2026-09-20 — Site
  3. 2026-09-18 — Deck and Site
  4. 2026-09-17 — Deck and Site

  6. 2026-09-15 — Site

Penguin Pebbling

Helen Edgar and Ryan Boren's card game about bringing somebody a small thing for no reason. The Arcade has a cabinet built on the same practice and deliberately none of that deck.

  1. 3 November 2026
  2. 20 September 2026

The Why Sheet Press

One-page arguments made to be printed and carried into a room where somebody is about to be talked over. New sheets, revisions, and changes to how they print.

  1. The Demand Avoidance broadside
  2. Demand Avoidance
  3. The staleness check can fail again
  4. A changelog you can subscribe to
  5. AAC Is Not a Last Resort
  6. Prompts for work and clinic

Stimpunks.World

This street. Its own changelog, read over the network like every other wire rather than lifted out of the file next door, so this board can be wrong about this site too.

  1. The people in the 3D yurt, as figures, and the yurt’s chat with them
  2. The Faery Yurt, in a VR headset
  3. Comfort, a part of the radio of its own
  4. Clear windows on New Partington Power’s porch
  5. The hosted film, in a popped-out call
  6. Every emoji as a reaction, our own too, and: in the message box

The Brass Tacks Board

This street's board for what has to stay put: news, notices, events and celebrations, posted by our moderators with their names on them. A second feed of this street, not a site of its own, read over the network like every other wire.

  1. Welcome to the Street
  2. Open Source Communication All the Way

Map of Monotropic Experiences

A map you can walk and a second tool for drawing your own. Built with Helen Edgar, who reviewed it twice before it went up.

  1. The code is MIT, and the map stays CC BY-SA
  2. Mapping Monotropism in Education
  3. The changelog has a feed
  4. A second tool: draw your own map
  5. Helen's review came back
  6. the site went live

Go and read them properly

Every wire above links its site and its feed. Put the feed in whatever reader you use and the arrivals come to you, on your own time, with no board in between and nothing here deciding what you see first. That is the better version of this room and we would rather you used it.

stimpunks.org keeps a feeds page with the lot on it, including the socials and the bookmark archive, which are not up here: a social post has no title, and a board that mixed them in would be a machine with three jobs.

Up the hill, where it all comes from

Every wire in this hall starts somewhere. Out of the back of the concourse and up the hill is The Source: one pool for every repository these sites are built in, and every commit a deposit on it, with its first line and whose hands made it.

Whose machine this is

The split-flap indicator board is Solari di Udine's machine — the flap boards that stood in railway stations and airports for decades, and the reason a certain clacking noise means something has changed to anybody over about thirty. This room is a picture of one drawn in CSS. It is not one of theirs, it is not affiliated with them, and it makes no noise at all.

The sites on the board are Stimpunks Foundation's, several of them built with Helen Edgar of Autistic Realms, who is named here rather than folded into our “we”. Penguin Pebbling is hers and Ryan Boren's together. Every title on this board belongs to whoever wrote the page it points at, and this room holds none of their words — only their names, their dates and their doors. The credits are collected in the liner notes.

What moves in here

At Gentle the boards are simply already showing their words, which is what a board does for almost all of its life. At Regular each row settles once as the page arrives — one flap, downward, and then still. At MAX GLITTER they riffle on the way to settling, the way a real board runs through half the alphabet before it finds the letter it wants.

Nothing in here flashes, strobes or pulses at any setting, and nothing makes a sound. The words on every row are identical at all three: the dial takes away the clatter, never the arrivals.

HOW LOUD DO YOU WANT IT?

Starts wherever your device says. Nothing moves, flashes or plays until you say so — and in here, MAX GLITTER is a board that riffles before it settles.

Job marker — a flap off one of the boards

You have found a job marker. The Adventurer’s Guild is a shopfront on the street, and it posts jobs that send you round these rooms. Take the code below to its board and that job is done. Nothing here is scored, nothing expires, and one is a perfectly good number of jobs to do.

The job: What the board is not

Before the code: That room says the board is a picture of something, and then says it is not that thing. What is it? One word.

Hint 1

It is in the line directly under the room's name, at the very top.

Hint 2

It is the thing a departures board is a picture of.

Last hint

Seven letters, and it begins with an R.

Give me the answer

The answer is Railway. None of those sites lets a browser read its feed from our page, so the board cannot be live and does not pretend to be: a person runs a tool, the boards are set, and every plate carries the minute its own wire was read. The feeds themselves are linked on every board, which is the actual railway.

Taking the answer is a real way through this, not a lesser one. Nothing is watching and nothing is written down.
