Folks, I have a Ford F-150 truck that is pretty rank from countless
spilled bean dishes left to molder, but can also be used in a pinch and
to police up random items left over from the big push with the 24'
rental truck. My first (and so far only) wife promised to help me clean
it for my birthday, so maybe that can happen first, certainly by the
solstice. I've also got dollies, if needed, and will bring liquid
entertainment.
I'm a little daunted by the big move, but I'll keep my craven cowardice
to myself. Nothing can stop us!
e
Everything looked pretty normal at the room when I swung by this evening
with pizza and bread, so I gather the big push to start packing up
hasn't started, and probably won't for another week.

Hi everyone,
I've been talking to Yar about having an introductory talk/workshop on
anarchist approaches to feminism at the Sudo Room on 22nd June. It would
be aimed at a 101 level - my plan for this was primarily to fill a gap
that I often see with many people coming to feminism through
dissatisfaction with the tech community, and therefore not having access
to some of the radical histories and frameworks that might be useful.
I've included a provisional overview and brief bio below. I'm open to
suggestions about what time would be best (Yar suggested afternoons are
better), and about how to make the workshop a useful contribution to the
Sudo Room. I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have. If
this seems like late notice to pull together the workshop and advertise
it, but people are still interested, another option is for me to give it
in September, when I'm next in the Bay Area.
best,
sky.
Anarchafeminism 101
This workshop is a brief introduction to anarchist strands of feminism.
It aims to provide an overview of the history and concepts that underpin
anarchafeminism, and to open up discussion about how anarchafeminist
approaches might be useful today. Reclaiming our radical histories
provides us with vital resources. For those frustrated with mainstream,
predominantly liberal or neo-liberal feminism, anarchafeminism offers
helpful frameworks for thinking about class, race, gender relations,
organising methods, and feminists' relationship to the state.

work focuses on how activists use and shape technology, and about how to

Hey all,
Tensions have been running high for some at sudo room these days.
*EVERYONE* should celebrate the love and support that truly flows from and
through the sudo community. This spirit is real and deserves designation,
vindication.
In this regard, please hear these sentiments from a discussion at our
weekly meeting this evening:
1. Let us be explicit: we have problems, including as of late the
over-use and abuse of our space by merely a small number of opportunistic
individuals, in spite and in the face of our community.
2. Together, let us raise our standards of expectation for use of the
sudo room space, for members and non-members alike! Let us make these
standards clear and known!
3. The time is nigh to organize and pack our things; we are moving, let
us leave this place with grace and arrive refreshed, prepared.
// Matt

I think this would be a great event to have at Sudo, and an
opportunity for our community to have more conversations about our
approach to activism and politics, and ways we can support everybody
in our communities. Sky is open to tailoring a facilitated discussion
specifically for us, but it would help a lot if people interested
could say so in advance and let us know what questions and subjects
are most relevant to them. Either way I look forward to seeing you all
there. Thanks and yay!

Would it be okay to put it in for 3pm on Sunday 22nd of June so that people can start sharing details? Will someone put it in the Sudo Room calendar event listing? Or are there further processes required to get the go-ahead?
There was even more enthusiasm on the omni logistics list!
I will add it to the calendar. What copy should I use?
