Wagtails don't drink blood. But there IS a bird that does! In honor of spooky season, meet the Vampire Ground Finch, a bird whose diet includes berries, seeds, AND blood! 🩸 🧛

We agree. This costume is terrifying!!! 😱

Ending spooky season with one of the spookiest images I've created.
A parody of Spirit Halloween costumes. This costume is for 'Accessibility Overlays'. The includes are: "One line" of JavaScript, WCAG compliance and no lawsuits not guaranteed, and Good Page Performance (lol no). In the bottom corner the text: Clown Size Costume One Size Fits All. There is an image of a clown in a business suit with wads of cash sticking out of all the pockets of the jacket.

For CI downloads of Wagtail - we now see more usage of uv than pip (!), at 66% of CI downloads wagtail.org/blog/uv-over... Similar numbers for #FastAPI, still below 50% for #Django. Overall downloads from uv are at 20-30% across those projects.
