[sudo-discuss] Thursday morning there were rats - (a necessary risk) - but folks, please clean out any food!

Hey folks, Thursday morning my coffee & algorithms session with other people were disrupted by two rats. I accept the rats as an acceptable risk, because it's great to share creativity and food. However. I figured out what was up and instead of getting embroiled in more rat drama I quickly disentangled myself and quarantined the session. It was important for me to take some rotting fruit out and toss it out, and not entertain any of the rat nonsense. In the future we might be able to sequester the rats in their own space, and then folks who want to create can go in separate areas. Rats have feelings too! I've had a lot of fun at hackerspaces over the year, but ignoring the problem isn't the solution, and we are always going to have to accept the reality of rats if we want to have community. https://sudoroom.org/coffee-and-algorithms-bringing-the-soul-back/ keep on learning folks! *Romy Mimi Ilano* *romy.ilano(a)gmail.com <romy.ilano(a)gmail.com>*
