"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 #PyConUS.
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.

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. #PyConUS
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! #PyConUS
"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 #Python. #PyConUS
... 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 #PyConUS. I do appreciate seeing important people encouraging good practices.
