Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

Last season of Game Changer, we did a cool activation with LinkedIn in which they helped us give Jacob a prize of $100,000.

This season, I have a similar opportunity for the right brand willing to give us $50,000+ worth of their product.

Hit me up ASAP if you're interested!

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

no thoughts, only “ghhhwaow”

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

I told you we’d be back

683 Socks. I would have more but work has kept me busy the last couple weeks and I have no trouble focusing on the video games I've been using to relax

I think its that same viewpoint being extended to the UK, and we (I mean, us Americans) need to push back on it

Americans do it ourselves, too. Crab rangoon, fajitas, fortune cookies, general tso's, and so many more were invented in the US, but often aren't considered American. Its a frustratingly common viewpoint that if it's made by an ethnic group, its not 'really' American

I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

I honestly saw it as more an example of how much of a dork i am for noticing at all

I remember one set in 1888, where the character sees a Ferris wheel decoration in a shop window.... They weren't called Ferris wheels until the Chicago world's fair in 1893 when George Ferris Jr built a giant one for the fair. I gave it a pass as being for reader understanding

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

I miss Garfield rules.

So I live outside of Seattle now, but I grew up in north-central Indiana, a place very much hit hard by the defunding of PBS, NPR, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy. Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word.

Donate to Help the Foglios Through Unexpected Challenges, organized by Phil Foglio We are Kaja & Phil Foglio, creators of the Girl Genius webcomic and owners … Phil Foglio needs your support for Help the Foglios Through Unexpected Challenges

#girlgenius Hated to do it, but we started a GoFundMe. These are chaotic times, and no mistake, and all of a sudden we realized they were chaosing all over us. (www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-f...) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I talk about my opposite and naked hostility toward AI, people will point to emergent technology in the past that disrupted. But the thing is were I there at the time, I would have been an opponent of that too. This does not mean I am anti-technology, or didn't want the tech to develop. 🧵

Telling friends about the magnificent work @michaelwhelan.bsky.social has done illustrating book covers, and then realize hours later the book I was holding (Catspaw by Joan D. Vinge) is one of his covers. I should have known. It's so captivating

CLARIFICATION :

The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.

They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY

So spread this around

They can be texted. They can be called.
