hey sudoroom & noisebridge
an artist friend of mine and a founder of a mycology (mushrooms as
material) company is also a really cool person!
She's doing this pride weekend performance event Saturday at Lake Merritt
in oakland.
I think this would be appropriate for the sudoroom & noisebridge crew
LET'S KEEP THE BAY AREA WEIRD!
--
Hi friends & accomplices,
you're receiving this personal invitation because you are:
1) awesome & experimental & not afraid of weirdness
2) …
[View More]are fond of me, Chani Bockwinkel, Caroline Alexander, Sappho, Kate Bush,
Ciara, and/or any number of other contemporary and historical goddesses.
hehe.
2) live in the east bay or are not easy bay-averse
3) will forgive me for this because we all love each other and you know the
drill:
SF Chronicle has decided to cover Heavy Breathing
<http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/fitness-for-your-brain/Content?oid=43…>,
the summer conceptual fitness series i co-programmed, for the front page of
their upcoming Datebook section. They're sending a journalist and
photographer to our next session, THIS SATURDAY, and we'd love a strong
showing of friends + participants for the occasion. Please come support!! :)
Saturday's session is a one-hour weirdo fitness experience under the
direction of Chani Bockwinkel and Caroline Alexander, that will involve
stretching + dance-aerobic-type exercises inspired by the new work they
have been developing around Sappho and Sapphic poetry + an awesome
soundtrack featuring Kate Bush + Ciara + others. More details (from fbook
invite):
Get Sapphic on Pride Saturday with Chani Bockwinkel & Caroline Alexander!!!
WHEN: Saturday, June 27, 11:30am - 12:30pm
WHERE: Lake Merritt / Edoff Memorial Bandstand
666 Bellevue Avenue, Lake Merritt, Oakland
https://localwiki.org/oakland/Lake_Merritt_Bandstand
RSVP & QUESTIONS: heavyheavybreathing(a)gmail.com
FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION: Imagine somatics + Kate Bush + Ciara: we'll get sweaty and
circular, moving our A$$ muscles and feeling our insides together. Read at

ready to project yourself into history while invoking ancient greek women
and contemporary goddesses.
Wear gym shoes and an outfit that brings out your deep femme/tough exercise
queen.

I'm no longer in town but I have something to say.
I think this is a good opportunity to explore. I hear your concerns about
their approach, Ryan. I am particularly irked by the inspirational music in
the video. *shudders*
That said, I would love to take this opportunity to transmit our collective
concerns and critiques to them...call it "hacking their framing". :]
Whether one likes it or not, these folks have a lot of power in shaping
popular technology development and understandings into …
[View More]the future. While we
may not revolutionize Google, we can at least encourage them to do their
bidding in a way that is a little less evil.
I'm happy that they're directly reaching out to hackerspaces, which means
they may take notes. I'm also happy that they're reaching out to us because
our social ecosystem is quite a bit more diverse than theirs and therefore
has more potential for wisdom (I wonder, have they reached out to
Mothership or LOL?). The tech industry (or any business that requires a
steep social capital (whiteness, maleness, ability to work 40+ hours/week,
etc.) in order to have a better (or any) chance at getting employed), after
all, is largely ableist and culturally stagnant. Please excuse my nesting.

Subject: [sudo-info] reaching out from google.org regarding an assistive
technology hackathon
To: <info(a)sudoroom.org>
Cc:
Dear Sudoroom community,
I'm reaching out from the philanthropic arm of Google, Google.org which
supports non-profits aimed at technical innovation.
In our attempt to expand opportunity and independence for people with
disabilities we have recently …
[View More]launched a campaign
<https://get.google.com/disabilitiesimpactchallenge/open-call.html> aiming
to identify
and support non-profits doing innovative work in the assistive technology
space.
The reason for this email is that in addition to the campaign,we are
thinking of organizing
a hackathon around mid-late august focused on assistive technology using this
event <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_BQzJD9gpo>
as a source of inspiration.
The basic idea is to bring the need-knowers (people with disabilities and
their
families/caregivers) together in the same room with tech folks
(hackers/makers/designers) and develop prototypes for affordable products
that
could serve the needs of the community of people with disabilities.
We thought that the hacker community of Sudoroom might find it
interesting/relevant
and some folks perhaps wish to participate.
We are trying to gauge the level of interest in something like this from
the hacker/maker/developer community.
Thoughts ? Ideas ? What should we think of to make this event more
relevant/interesting to the folks involved ?
With kindest regards,
On behalf of Google.org,
Arie Meir

Subject: [sudo-accounts] Important: No more bank payouts. Action required.
To: Gratipay Support <support(a)gratipay.com>
Greetings!
You're receiving this message because you're one of the nine people
who have been withdrawing money from Gratipay 2.0 directly to your
bank account.
Our provider for bank payouts, Balanced Payments, is going out of
business, and …
[View More]they stopped providing bank payouts last week. We tried
pretty damn hard over the past couple months to migrate to a new
provider for bank payouts, so that we could provide uninterrupted
service for you, but we failed. Sorry. :-(
Our backup plan is PayPal. To maximize the chance that you receive
your payout this week in some fashion, we chose to configure your
Gratipay account to send money via PayPal to the verified email
address we have on file for you—the one you're receiving this email
on—from now on.
Please update the PayPal address on your Gratipay settings page as
necessary, to ensure that we route your payouts properly starting this
Thursday.
If PayPal is not a good option for you, please get in touch and let's
see what we can figure out.
You've been very patient with us throughout the turmoil of the last
couple months. While we can't quite say that we've fully survived the
Balanced shutdown yet (due to its repercussions for us), it's a big
milestone to be processing at all even though Balanced has in fact
started shutting down. Thank you for believing in us as we continue
rebuilding Gratipay! :-)
As always, feel free to reply here privately, or join our public
discussion on GitHub.
