ok, i have been away from sudoroom for a full two nights now
i miss sudoroom!
we have org nerds that work really hard to keep the projects running. that
stuff is hard.
it is the only place i've hung out at where there are serious women
hackers. that is so rad
after all these years you bastards are finally making me consider
installing linux on my laptop. not even my ex boyfriend could talk me into
it!
i like that there is pushback against too many overly commercial projects
at sudoroom. it creates a safe space. i do not get this safe feeling at
places that are too profit-oriented. it is like eliminating recess at
school and leads to burnout
people actually consider alternatives to current economics models in a
serious way, which I really appreciate even though my views are often
different
it is a place where people forgive each other
there is a hella ton of homemade vegan food at the meetings! that is so
cool. we make it too.
when i lived in the south bay i felt like my brain was dying. students
there did not really go to demonstrations. they did not think that much
about politics or economics.
it was hard to get them to think much about anything. i'm not sure why
this happened but i think it's a structural thing. i'm very lucky to talk
to people at sudoroom who are structurally not mentally destroyed and who
still think and feel passionate
