I wish I could vote for you! 😅

I like to think of those other places as also HCOL, but in different axes/currencies

I’m not (yet?) seeing it in the Bay Area, so maybe don’t feel too bad about the weather 😅

Fucking finally

Also, one more round of thanks for @glyph @Yhg1s @offby1 and @petrillic for their generous donations that set the goalposts for this campaign. We’re truly blessed to have you all in this community. 🙏

Update 2025-11-03: thanks to the PSF's boost, we have now received $14622.43; 86.0% of our total match of $17000 . I am hopeful that we can close that 14% gap by tomorrow!

I am (and I'm sure everyone reading this is) confronted daily with the views of odious, misinformed people who want us, our families, & our friends to die. Those people have wrong, evil ideas. We do not need to be "challenged" further. We do not need to spend *more* of our time on wrong, evil ideas.

I think you might be right.

Now that the remaining PNG files have been manually OCR'd, the total stands as follows:

We've raised $9238.74 which is 54.3% of our $17000 total. Once again within 24h of a contributor joining the match we are over half full, but we all stand ready to be maxed out so please keep those donations […]

Have you been considering donating, but worried that we might be running out of space? Worry not! A new challenger appears! @Yhg1s has committed ANOTHER $5000 match, raising our total matching funds to $17,000, which (modulo a few additional receipts I need to process) means we are down to 43%.

You can donate using one of the methods here — https://www.python.org/psf/donations/ — or if the methods listed there don't work for you (in particular, if PayPal is a problem and you're not donating enough for a wire transfer) https://github.com/sponsors/psf is also an option.
