Five days before a special election that should be illegal, voting locations for tens of thousands of Ohioans have been temporarily changed (presumably to make it harder for us to defeat this awful ballot issue). If you’re in Ohio, make sure you know where to vote! #Ohio #Issue1

Maybe you wanted to give a talk at #PyConUS or one of our friends like #PyTexas, #PyCascades, or #NBPy but it didn't work out? Maybe you saw or learned something that got you inspired?

#PyOhio is coming in July, and our CFP is open for the next ~20 hours -- we'd LOVE to hear from you while we still can! We gladly welcome speakers of all experience levels (❤️ new folks!) and a wide array of topics -- if you're excited about something, share it!

Boosts appreciated!

With nearly 1000 talk proposals, there are plenty of amazing talks that #PyConUS couldn’t accept… luckily, the #PyOhio CFP is open! We’d love the chance to see if your idea is a fit for us.

🐍❤️🎉

We did it! Heaving a satisfied sigh of relief that another great #PyOhio #python #conference is in the books. Huge thanks to our speakers, volunteers, and audience, without whom the event could not exist. I’m excited to see y’all in 2024! 🐍❤️🎉

MacOS Sonoma… is it safe to upgrade yet? Anything I should dread and/or look forward to?

Enjoyed Cory Doctorow @pluralistic 's new essay re user "desire paths," ad blockers and apps. "This is why services are so horny to drive you to install their app rather using their websites: they are trying to get you to do something that, given your druthers, you would prefer not to do. They want to force you to exit through the gift shop, you want to carve a desire path straight to the parking lot." https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/24/everything-not-mandatory/#is-prohibited

It is by pollen alone I set my sinuses in motion. It is by the juice of histamine that the eyes acquire itch.

Inspired by a thing I saw on Reddit earlier today, I’m going to try listening to more complete albums this year. Maybe daily? We’ll see how it shakes out.

I’m starting off with the 2019 mix of Abbey Road by The Beatles: https://songwhip.com/the-beatles/abbey-road-2019-mix

A friend of mine just released an album! It’s ambient drone synth and spoken word stuff, kinda sci-fi/cyberpunky. Maybe you’ll dig it too?

I wanna hear about the best concerts you’ve been to! Some of mine:

• Ozomatli at The Catalyst - played until curfew, spilled out onto the street and jammed for another hour until the cops came
• Flaming Lips at Liberty Hall - second set, played the entirety of Dark Side
• Dar Williams at Liberty - power went out, she sat on the edge of the stage and played three songs by flashlight
• Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlisle, et al at the Gorge - simply magical

If you wondered why I’m mostly boosting humorous takes on xz drama it’s because I find almost all serious takes absolutely nauseating. So much serious thinking by people who have never maintained anything of substance in their whole life.
