Midsummer Finance Report: Somewhat Dire

by Jenny Ryan

I've just paid July's rent and June expenses totalling $2299.29. We currently have $644.98 in our bank account. This is approximately $6355 less than we want to have in order to have 3 months of expenses in our reserve. We are currently making $309.96/week on Gratipay, payouts being sent to our PayPal account in lieu of Balanced payments shutting down. We made $675 this month via Stripe. If you haven't switched over yet from Gratipay, this is your reminder to do so! You can register and sign up for payments at https://sudoroom.org/humans, or make a one-time $ or BTC donation through https://sudoroom.org/donate. All told, this means we made $1911 this month, about $400 less than we need to be making to be in the black. If you're a member and not donating, please for the love of bob, get on it! Sudo needs financial support now more than ever.

The R vs M Effect

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello Humans, A person of color writing here, if that means anything. I said that if that means anything, because every time I go to the Omni I am NOT checking out what color is who, but instead I look for who I can work together with, or share ideas with, or socialize with, etc.. About a week ago or less I meet a Black Woman at Sudoroom, and we talked very briefly. And, even though it was only for about ten seconds or so, I felt that she means well. Her energy felt in place. I think she was Rannette. She wanted to use a phone charger; but were being used and she said will come back later on when the phone be done (or something along the line).I wish I had more positive things to say about about Rannette, but I haven't other opportunities to be in the same area at Omni when she is there. I have been part of Sudoroom for about two years, and even thought Morgan and I only have had very few short conversations I have never felt threaten by her. I have respected her space and she has done the same in return. So, based on my observations I want to share that Morgan cares for our community. Outside the Omni I have also observed Morgan in many rallies and marches. I have seen her giving her time, energy, passion, and care while fighting for the communities, specially for people of color and poor. And that for me, means a lot. And I respect that. I would like to remind everyone that we all are not perfect and that if from time to time we may do something wrong, but let's not the last thing the have done what will stain us forever. Perhaps when we make a mistake is when our comrade needs us the most, and not only when all is happiness. Solidarity is more than a word. Let's not get divided. I hope this situation be resolved in the good of Rannette and Morgan; and for the good of the community; one leaving or both leaving I will consider it a lost. Sincerely, Daniel -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Rannette attacked someone physically for the second time

by WIld Cat

Rannette physically attacked a woman here today for the second time in one month. Rannette was being very loud about an incrimiwhile but eventuallyg thing when I asked her to not have that conversation in the space she began screaming at me and another woman stepped in telling her to stop yelling saying that she also needed to stop sleeping here and Rannette walked up to her drawing her hand back like she was going to slap her screaming bitch in her face then started screaming bitch at me. Threatening to leave and I affirmed that she should leave. Then She attacked the woman physically by checking her. We asked her to leave for violating the safe space policy and refused for a while eventually left. This month I have sent multiple emails about Rannettes behaivour to the mediation group and but i have gotten no response.

I'm also willing to try to steward or mediate. And I hate to say this again but, why is this thread in sudo-discuss? AFAIK the people involved are not Sudoroom members and the events did not happen in Sudoroom.

wtf is going on at sudo

by Brendan Reddy-Best

i have been spitting in rage for the last couple of days since the comment "just because she is black it is ok to be transphobic" and the total lack of galvanization around this, but now that it's clear what's going on, I have to say that you've all done a commendable job of excluding black women and men from the omni. No wonder i feel so miserable there all the time. maybe we can get some white activists doing something OTHER than excluding people of color from our "community" space?

using sudo announce more

by Cere Mona Davis

Hey Folks, I'm noticing that the sudo-announce list does not get used often enough for many informational postings that rightfully belong there. I for one am wanting to mitigate the amount of email exposure I get to the constant barrage of BS and negative energy from discuss list but don't want to "miss out" when opportunities come up. I would like to sign off the discuss list and encourage people to use the sudo-announce list more as appropriate. For example, I think the email thread about the Google disability hack thing should have gone to sudo-announce as well as sudo-discuss, and then people can continue the conversation over sudo-discuss as they wish. .02 Cere -- Best Regards, Cere Davis ceremona(a)gmail.com http://AcoustoCurio.us ------------------- GPG Key: http://taffy.findpage.com/~cere/pubkey.asc GPG fingerprint (ID# 73FCA9E6) : F5C7 627B ECBE C735 117B 2278 9A95 4C88 73FC A9E6
