Re: [sudo-discuss] Rannette attacked someone physically for the second time

by johanna faust

@Wild Cat, way to go keeping level headed, its inspiring. even though i am not one of the individuals involved, and especially because i have at times found myself treated in a similar, if mild comparatively , way, (what a twisty sentence) *ahem* would like to apopolgize on behalf of humanity, which apparently has been acting reprehensibly. i am sorry. We monkeys are trying to get this sorted out -- we have to, and, i may like to see other ppls side of things mostly, but in this case any asshole or idiot who thinks otherwise is just plain wrong. wrong to treat you badly and wrong not to spend that precious energy and time helping to sort out the mess we call the human condition. I offer this even though you are a stranger, for being level headed, because it is my belief that the most levelheaded monkeys are our best hope of averting nuclear war or a similar, stupid fate.

Hacking at sudoroom tomorrow? (non-member)

by Stephen Whitmore

Hi there, I've been to sudoroom a couple of times for JS Study Groups and was very excited to find sudo's views on tech and social justice seem to resonate with my own. The space seems really cool and friendly and I'd love to spend some more time there and meet folks: I have tomorrow off and was thinking of coming by to hack on some projects for part of the day (July 2nd). I was thinking of heading over early afternoon (maybe around 1200h-1300h). Is anyone going to be in the space tomorrow around then that can let me in and feels like showing me around? Thanks! -noffle

We all go through this

by Romy Ilano

Adam We all go through these issues. We've all been there I attempted to work on a children health eating idea a few years ago. I was was also burned out Engineers don't immediately respect you if you look like a young girl despite years of experience ; having money is so important ; People give advice but it's not always correct; there are lots of cool people who who'll help you ; Start up events are important but you must prioritize ; you'll meet a lot of people but it's important to filter politely ; this stuff is hard; if people find out you're working on a Health App they'll aggressively push 1500 calorie greasy burritos on you; Unfortunately there are a lot of cultural forces at play ; companies do not really make money when people eat less and get healthy ; most major health problems can be solved in the U.S. By avoiding most processed and fast foods not by buying more healthy food ; exercise doesn't really make you that much healthier compared to avoiding most snacks and standard American diet Like Marc said take notes. Usually most of your thoughts are wrong often you're right I came out of it learning how to code, avoiding making html 5 apps, lost a marriage, a boyfriend, still nearly bankrupt but I learned a lot!

RV needs off street parking for fire refugee use

by Robert Benson

I regrettably learned of some of our fellows' misfortune with fire recently & wish to relay an offer that may provide temp housing for some of those affected. Offer: RV needs registration & therefore off street parking for a few months in exchange for free use w/hacking privileges. RV is in good condition & owner hopes it stays in such. Cheers

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.

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.
