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
