This week, the #python Software Foundation rejected a $1.5MM NSF grant, due to a requirement that the PSF abandon diversity work.
So I joined forces with Python folks (@offby1, @petrillic, @amethyst) and we're matching up to $12,000 of donations to the PSF. 🧵

Instead, all notifications will be made on X.

Stunned by the news of Michael Foord's death. The world will be a little less interesting now... I always felt that with you as an ally things could not be truly lost. Farewell my friend.

Heartbroken and devastated to hear about Michael "voidspace" Foord's passing. I have so many cherished memories of our fun and always weird conversations — about Python, life, and everything in between — at conferences and IRC. You'll be deeply missed.
