Forget about supporting the PSF, too abstract.

Surprise, it's the PSF! Your company depends on #Python. You want it to keep working and keep being good.

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything.

I'm stressed because I've been overworking, I'm overworking because I'm using it as a distraction, I'm seeking a distraction because I'm avoiding other shit, which I'm avoiding because it stresses me out.
