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!

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
I have a new blog post up: "Corporate 'DEI' Is An Imperfect Vehicle for Deeply Meaningful Ideals" charity.wtf/2025/02/10/c...
I know a lot of people are feeling incredibly scared and demoralized right now. I get it; I am too. (Who knows if my marriage will still be valid in two years?)

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!
