[sudoroom] Sudoroom open!

[Jenny Ryan]

All,

Last night around 2am I was in the space with Andrew and Timon. As the only
person left with keys, I announced that I was locking up the space and that
it was time to leave. Timon was in the sound studio/radio room and
continued to whistle and sing while I repeated several times that I was
closing down the space. Finally I turned off the lights, and Timon
approached me rather aggressively, stating repeatedly that he was not
leaving.

I have very reasonable boundaries when it comes to aggression and violent
behavior. I felt threatened and left the space stating that I was going to
call the police. Luckily it didn't come to that, and Timon left the
building after ten minutes or so.

At no point did Timon inform me that he had been locked out of his
apartment and needed a place to stay for the night. Regardless, sudo room
is not a hostel, as explicitly defined in our Compact, and last night's
incident is the second time I have felt unsafe in Timon's presence.

We as a community have committed ourselves to creating a safe space. I am
also concerned for Timon and will dedicate some time to providing
informational resources re: nearby shelter and humanitarian support. I have
also already spoken with George (the landlord) about this incident. He was
very understanding and supportive and has said he will speak to Timon.

Thanks to all who have reached out. Sudo Room is overwhelmingly composed of
wonderful people.

Jenny
