"When people feel welcome to show up as their whole selves, they take bigger swings, they ask bigger questions, and they keep showing up"

Thrilled that @pathunstrom is giving a talk on CSS to update my knowledge over 20 years of "I have not bothered to learn this" progress

Name-dropping the Old Magicks (GeoCities, Neopets, LiveJournal), and a moment to refer to "On Contempt Culture", since CSS and Python are surely no strangers to the contempt described by that talk
