Bike Smut: Sex-Positive erotic bike flims at Sudo Room?

by Vicky Knox

THE BACKGROUND: The people from Bike Smut and I think it would be fun and fascinating and fabulous to have a screening of their erotic bike films at Sudo Room as a combo of Fabulous Friday Films and Hacking Sexual Health. Bike Smut encourages "sex-positive bikers to make short films about bikes and sex to help spread a message of joy and liberation through sexuality and cycling". Everything they do is non-commercial, and is backed by the desire to demystify and provoke more open thought and conversation around sexuality. We would like to do this on Friday, May 17th in the evening. WE NEED YOU: The films are of course erotic in nature, and will involve nudity and sexual acts. Please let me know if you have any concerns, reservations or clarifying questions--we realize pornography may not be for everyone, and are sensitive to any concerns you may have. :]

"I will make them disabled"

by Yardena Cohen

Quoth our landlord. He's referring to hypothetical genderqueer people who may need to use a bathroom other than the men's and women's, if he finds them in the single stall bathroom with the wheelchair on it. He said Men's and Women's bathroom are enough to suit everyone's needs, and muttered something about people wanting "special privileges" on the way out. I hope you will agree that this is a problem. On a related topic, the women's bathroom never has soap. Vicky and I bought a giant container a while ago, and it has recently disappeared and not been replaced. There are also never toilet paper or paper towel refills, so we have been storing backup rolls in the Sudoroom closet. We are not going to store them in the bathroom because they'll probably disappear too. Relatedly, one day last week it was very hot in that bathroom and I set up a fan to circulate the air in it. The fan also disappeared. I am rather frustrated, in case you can't tell. I also want to point out that as many problems I have with the owner of Sudoroom's building, I agree with him about the furniture situation. People have GOT to take care to put furniture away, and leave the common area look as clean and empty as possible when you leave it. The campsite rule is: "leave it at least as good as you found it". You should follow that everywhere in life, but ESPECIALLY in Sudoroom's common area. He's threatened many times to just remove all the furniture himself. Given my experience with his personality profile and past behavior I would rate this as about 60% likely; more if people don't get their act together about cleaning shit up.

Have an Ultimaker you're willing to sell or lease?

by Jeff McAlvay

A friend and I are working on a project that involves an Ultimaker 3d printer (http://www.ultimaker.com/). I am looking to buy a machine or lease one for a few months (if we lease it, it would be restored to its original form when returned). Do you or someone you know have one they might be willing to part with on a permanent or temporary basis? Ideally, the machine is already assembled and calibrated. We're hoping to get started immediately--so please reach out ASAP if you are interested. I will pay above market price. Thanks, Jeff 206-271-6290

Fwd: [FC-discuss] After 9 Years of free culture advocacy, Students for Free Culture is now the Free Culture Foundation

by Matthew Senate

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Free Culture Foundation <webleader+rss-bot(a)freeculture.org> Date: Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 2:15 PM Subject: [FC-discuss] After 9 Years of free culture advocacy, Students for Free Culture is now the Free Culture Foundation To: discuss(a)freeculture.org We are excited to announce the _Free Culture Foundation_ — the new name of the organization formerly known as _Students for Free Culture_. This change reflects the evolution of the organization over the first nine years of its life to support free culture advocacy in communities beyond students, to emphasize coalition building with existing free culture organizations, and to renew our commitment to free culture as an issue of social justice. **1. First, this change reflects an expansion of our activism to non- student communities.** Although our organization was started within colleges, universities, and high schools, we have grown to involve the work of many non-students. Many of our members and leaders have graduated and continue to participate in the organization. We want an organization that not only retains its members but has room for those who graduate and still wish to be organize around free culture. Many non-students have joined and support our advocacy and activism. To acknowledge the fluidity of student status as well as the valuable contributions of non-students to our organizations, we have selected a more inclusive name that reflects the breadth of our constituency. That said, with dozens of student chapters that have been established around the world over the years, our roots and our base will remain in the academy. A new name and an increased commitment to non-students does not reflect a retreat from our strong commitment to students and to student activism in free culture. Although we plan to support local and non-academic chapters, our organization will continue a strong emphasis on campus organizing. Just as we have outgrown our name, we have outgrown our old institutional structure. With the support of Joseph Dempsey, we are in the process of filing as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. **2. Second, as the institutional landscape around free culture has evolved over the last nine years, we aim to reflect a changed position in an ecosystem of free culture organizations.** There are many organizations that carry out invaluable work benefiting the free culture movement: the [Free Software Foundation][1], [Electronic Frontier Foundation][2], [Mozilla Foundation][3], [Wikimedia Foundation][4], [ Open Knowledge Foundation][5], [Public Knowledge][6], [Creative Commons][7], and many other organizations have been founded, grown enormously, and changed, over the last decade. Today, the broader free culture movement does much more than our initial goals of promoting free software and free cultural works. The Free Culture Foundation seeks to fill a space between these organizations and bring them together. A decade ago, the free culture movement focused on exploring possibilities and setting goals. After nine years of work in the broader free culture community, we can affirm a strong commitment to successful models of free culture put in practice by organizations like the Wikimedia Foundation, the [Definition of Free Culture Works][8], the open access movement, and the Free Software Foundation. The free culture movement has also grown in breadth. Our work no longer involves only promoting increased use of free software and free cultural works. With our strong history of organizing, we aim to build upon, complement, and fill some of the spaces between the many other organizations to support a broad range of free culture issues. **3. Finally, we seek to reiterate a renewed commitment to free culture as issue of social justice and to connect more effectively with other activists and movements working on these issues.** As [our annoncement][9] of support for the [Empowermentors Collective][10] reads, "It is imperative that we acknowledge that there are systemic structures of control embedded in our society which permeate our movement. Refusing to do so in an effort to compartmentalize and focus on our own goals is detrimental to our success. We cannot afford to be an isolated, inward-facing movement." We do not live merely in coexistence with media and technology, but we live in and through them. They continuously influence how we communicate, frame our understandings of ourselves, and mediate how we experience the world. In our continued advocacy, we want to emphasize that free culture reflects not only an approach to sharing but an important way to promote autonomy. Our movement should be grounded in the needs of those most exploited by private ownership over technology, information, and media. Songs, films, books, and apps do not need freedom, people do. In these next steps, there remain many critical open questions and unfilled needs. We invite all free culture activists to participate in this ongoing evolution and expansion of our organization and our movement over the coming months. We encourage existing or former participants to reconnect. To join our community, please subscribe to our [discussion list][11].
