🚀 Feature Friday: Template partials!

New in Django 6.0, this extension to Django's template language makes it easy to reuse fragments in templates: Great for cutting down the overhead of creating files for small pieces of isolated logic!

Today I got called on during a production of @robbotron.bsky.social’s The Dark Room at #AdventureX. He recognized me and proceeded to roast me mercilessly. It was glorious. At the end he rewarded me with a copy of All Star Cheerleader for the Wii. Thank you, John! It was frigging unforgettable.

We are so absolutely thrilled with the art this year, thank you @avivor.com !

It was such great fun this evening! Thank you for all the laughter!

Check out the demo. It's seriously wonderful.

@consdotie.bsky.social another Irish convention for the Starter Pack, @shipitcon.bsky.social ?

Wood glue, ruler with 90 degree adjustable part, pull saw, chisel, rasp, tape measure, 4 kinds of wood clamps, pencil

Anyone who liked the #woodworking stuff I post but think they can’t cos of space just know you don’t need much to start or even much room you can fit your starting point in a shoe box. I’m still a beginner and learning but lot of what I’m making in my photos can be done with this as a start point.

Making another badge, so soothing creating while listening to the talks at @shipitcon.bsky.social. 🥰

The Séance of Blake Manor – a gothic horror that explores the creepier side of Irish mythology Developer Spooky Doorway is building a detective mystery full of Victorian spiritualism and pagan traditions, creating a lingering sense of dread that is hard to shake

A nice preview of @blakemanorgame.bsky.social on The Guardian website today.
