last night we started our learning module ... initial wiki set up!

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/wiki/LearningToLearn hey mr. maroukis (sorry I'm bad with names) - I set up a wiki. I'm swamped right now but will find a way to do online as well in the coming months! I am not against software learning and edtech, but I find that overreliance on this stuff leads to people promoting a company or start-up, plus were trying to incorporate creative analog learning as well. But we can have segments that are just on laptop learning as well. https://x.com/sudoroom/status/1798058428344177059 ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

June 2nd Resource Fair(See yall Sunday!)

by July Tenenbaum

Hi All! I'm writing to thank you all for your willingness to attend Wod Street's resource fair and block party. We'd love it if people tabling can show up by noon but we also totally understand time constraints- if you can only join us for a few hours you are still hugely welcome and appreciated. If you need a table or chairs, I think there is some limited tables available but we're a little short on those so if you are bring your own, that's amazing. See you soon! -July [image: Wood st flyer.png]

Hackable door lock recommendations

by Arthur Ulfeldt

I’ve been using a home made electric door lock for years, it’s got that exposed wires delight ♥️ I’m looking for an actually reliable electric door lock that I can reasonably easily hack to use my own software or replace the microcontroller entirely. Do any of you have a recommendation?

Re: Need funds for May Mulberry mortgage payment

by Paige P

> > Can collectives be prepared to prepay April *June *if necessary? Given the time it takes for external transfers to come in, the only way to pay this in time to my understanding is to transfer money from either the SR and/or SMAC account to pay this bill [because SR and SMAC also have funds in Unify account, so its not external]. The amount transferred could be quickly returned after other collectives pay rent + from a donation that was offered. The amount still needed to transfer temporarily from SR/SMAC would need to total around $1800. Is this okay with collectives, especially SR and SMAC? It is very crucial we pay our mortgage payment, especially given that Mulberry is still deliberating whether or not to foreclose on us.

Trump Satire

by Ira Brightman

Hi All, I've written a Donald Trump satire, and would like to get it out into the public as quickly as possible for obvious reasons. It's an update of a previous version that I self-published on Amazon (KDP). Below are reviews from that book (it's been updated). I also included a copy of the cover. The work is ostensibly a briefing and guide book written for DJT by staff for when he becomes the president again in 2025. I've been a professional comedian and comedy-writer, but I'm a technical moron and can't figure out how to put this book up on a website, or on Substack. Since time is short, my plan is to offer it for free and ask for donations at the end. I would like to hire someone to get it up on an appropriate venue. If interested, contact me, I'll email you the entire book (about 80 pages) and we can discuss. Best, Ira Brightman Amazon Reviews: Top reviews from the United States Roberta Spike (Berkeley, CA) 5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read <https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R7HPCM270AZ79/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw…> Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2022 Good for a laugh - but unfortunately too true! Ira really gets it! Michael Singer (Boston, MA) 4.0 out of 5 stars Never too late <https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3TOSTSNEYPY4O/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rv…> Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2021 This spoof of the Trump presidency is still a hysterical reminder of the danger that the former president posed, and that his surrogates are still out there. Though this book is very funny, it also points out that Trump really isn’t a laughing matter. Jennifer Sappington (Richmond, VA) 5.0 out of 5 stars Laughter really is the best medicine - thank you, Dr. Ira! <https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RYU9ZU9Y4CO7W/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw…> Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018 There’s a lot of Trump humor out there, but Ira’s stands out because it’s clever, and unique (the “Meet [insert dictator/world leader]” sections were my favorite), and just a delight to read. Also, if you don’t laugh at Ira’s “suggestions” to Trump for cabinet members, it’s probably because you’re unconscious or wearing Q-anon pajamas. [image: image.png]

hacked emails/text messages from Sierk

by Jake Watters

On May 6th, Sierk's computer was hacked by someone in Omni Commons who accessed his computer when he left it unattended. They took over his Facebook account, replacing it with a "Dillinger - Public Enemy No1" logo and sent direct messages to me, and to another person at Omni who was hacked in the same way a few weeks earlier. They also took over Sierk's Google account including his telephone number, and created a Signal account with his number, and communicated to me from all those accounts claiming to be Sierk. I finally talked with Sierk in person (on May 7th) and confirmed that none of the accounts were in his control, and he had no way of getting back control of his Google account. Last night he asked me (in person) to tell people at the Omni that they should disregard messages appearing to come from him (including over SMS/text messaging), which are now asking for money. *Sierk says that people should ONLY trust in-person communications with him for the time being. *He can often be found at Omni, working on his computer upstairs. -Jake
