It's the next day and I still can't get over the most heartbreaking sporting event I've ever attended in-person. #Cavs #LetEmKnow

PyOhio 2025 Schedule, talks and talk submissions for PyOhio 2025

The @pyohio.org CFP is open for the rest of today which is plenty of time for you to submit a talk idea (or 2 or 3!) I've always personally loved seeing talks that are a bit outside the "normal" for Python confs. If you have an idea, go now! PyOhio ❤️ first-time speakers!

The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After

A well grounded and frightening read:

“After the flood, we remain. The disaster brought by the decadent is part of the story. But it is not the conclusion. It is what we do next that matters.”

Finally figured out logistics and all registered for @pycon.us. Looking forward to seeing folks there!

Happy birthday! Same one for me today!

Well that's enough for me. Added to my list!

I saw @youarestars.bsky.social in Cleveland last night and my heart feels full for the first time in a while

It's a long post, but it's Charity at her best. She explains why diversity, despite it being flawed and lagging, is an important signal for an organization's values

The PyOhio 2025 Logo: A snake that has swallowed the state of Ohio looking off to the left with its tongue out. The body of the snake is zig-zagging folded over itself a couple of times. On the middle, righthand side of the snake is the year, 2025, and on the bottom, lefthand side is PyOhio. The artists signature, JMW, is in small lettering on the right hand side of the snake, a bit higher up than the word "PyOhio" on the logo.

Scottish Swearing This site is NOT safe for work. It's not safe for nice people. Are you a bad person? This swear generator is for you.

A gift to all my friends in the USA.

At times like these you need a Scottish approach to swearing.

🐍 Hello Blue Sky! 🐍

2024 was a busy year, and we've been carrying that energy into this year as 2025 starts!

Well that last couple mins got my heart going #buckeyes

Eurorack synthesizer next to window showing cold, snowy weather outside

It's that time of year for leaving the big synth on all day... for the ambient sounds AND ambient heat.

I want a "lolwut" that the "Funny" just doesn't cover

*cue WHAM! synth*

last christmas,
i warned you, “no wipes,”
but the very next day
you clogged all my pipes.
this year,
i’ll call you to say,
“don’t be surprised—
i just installed a bidet”

Youngest: "Were you trying to make dinner soooo yummy?"
Me: "Yeah!"
Him: "Well sometimes things don't work out."

I meant on a new cutter! Seems like the type of thing to make for a good test. I know this isn't your first dickbutt rodeo (is a sentence I never thought I'd type!)

First test of a laser engraver?

Doctor, who's office mis-coded the claim causing me to have to spend hours on the phone with an insurance company: "You should really try to reduce sources of stress..."

Wow, what a week to have multiple not-insignificant medical claims denied with "THE DIAGNOSIS SUBMITTED IS NOT COVERED UNDER YOUR BENEFIT PLAN. THE PROVIDER MAY BILL YOU FOR THE CHARGE."

👀 Oh look, @pyohio.org is on here! I have a feeling there'll be some news from that account in the next couple weeks so if you're interested in Python community conferences based in Ohio, give it a follow.

...so this was by far the most motivation I've had for a character of mine to work with a party. Plus we got to summon a tarrasque and mess with the timeline so that was fun. I'm gonna miss this character and party but am looking forward to starting something new! #dnd

Just had the SURPRISE! final session of a D&D campaign that we started in late 2020 (with a significant break in there at one point). We were playing Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden and while I didn't love the campaign, we spent a good amount of time on a collective backstory for our party...

Been lurking on here since Jan and wasn't sure of the vibe yet. Now that I'm seeing some more familiar faces I think I'll stick around!

I have the same but in synth hardware. 😅

I log into this account for the first time in a year and... Guess I'm on here now!
