"play is only play if it's self directed" has just set off a lot of lightbulbs about my school's mandatory sports program 🤔

A thoroughly well-deserved Community Service Award given to @daisy for service during an exceptionally long tenure at the helm of @pyconau, presented at .

It's an absolute travesty that she is unable to accept it here in person. I hope this country can start doing better by trans people again in the future.

Really feeling for Amanda from @whitecoatcaptioning, our wonderful captioner, who has to type out all of these variations of "enshit-" in the middle of this breathless talk from @pluralistic. AMAZING JOB.

A donation from @ThePSF in 2001 bootstrapped Software Carpentry? Well that is quite the long-term success story from a PSF grant. Amazing.

It's quite something to see a journalist who cut their teeth in Lawrence pre-Django talking about eventually learning to code, and then building out journalism tooling in Django. It's amazing seeing how much good has come out of one reasonably small newspaper.

Just want to call out how effective this panel is as a way to construct a talk on a complex subject. This is still a prepared presentation -- look at the slides matching the discussion topics -- but using a community member as a host to "guide" the discussion, bridging us to "outsiders" with an important story. It looks like a panel, but it isn't that.

As someone who appreciates the craft of presentation, this is A++. Thanks @Jackiekazil et al!

"who here knows what @ThePSF is and does?" asks @baconandcoconut.

I'm around if you don't know, or want to know more, and happy to have a chat about how we build and grow a community around .

... GIL-free options for Python *and* a colourful REPL?

Python 3.14 may just be most important release in a year!

Glad to see @pluralistic on stage in a mask at . I do appreciate seeing important people encouraging good practices.
