Ways that AI can amplify or improve things without you knowing … remove the cigarette, introduce hardware to the guitar, add more fingers aka tools! #PyConUS2026

30 families in Ward 9 need help. If you have capacity please donate so we can get families food. - Email Costco gift cards to naomialexandra@gmail.com - Venmo at @ Kevin-nye-3 - Cash App at $revkev
Hey all, I have abt 30 families in South Minneapolis who need grocery support. I’m hoping to raise $3000 to do a big Costco run, but I don’t have Venmo & I don’t have the ability to float it on my credit card. You can verify this need w/ @jchavezmpls.bsky.social. Please let me know if you have ideas
Where is the best UI to follow the flotilla updates? I need to understand humanity is decent still … eeee!
Congrats @jezdez.dev @simonwillison.net and the rest of @thepsf.bsky.social BoD election! Always excited to see so many amazing community members names! #python 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
Hatred shared - I hated myself for being so bullied. Like gum in hair where I had to get a buzz cut, people peed on my gym clothes, etc. Got upset my name es español because I am latine. But I some how still held on to these people and … this is what #ignorance #power looks like
Calling all #Python folks who care about immigration safety I have been building a module and need y’all’s help because I have a few states and cities but I also have it translated. #migra #immigration
I am growing in my frustración aka ire of tech based non profits not even comenting about the inhumane cruel gross misconduct of certain parties. Stand up. It’s your time. Y’all’s did during the initial Ukaine invasion. #tech #technology

What y’all’s take on the use of #AI and it’s use on the environment? Genuinely curious. #programming #automation #environment
To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.
How y’all’s holding up? Here is a very cute video of my baby house lion - Red XIV #mainecoons #mentalhealrh #cats
Helicopter hovering has started. Okay so I’ll post … #democracy #noking
I am tired of organizers talking about AI and its use in tech. I am tired we gave up on making people Safe. I tired of not doing the good work because I alone cannot. Also, I am tired.
If I see the salt truck video one more time I'm going to lose my fucking mind. They're not being used to block the city off from ICE. They're walling off the Taste of Chicago. The city uses salt trucks as temporary infrastructure.
Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.
A dear friend got me the cutest Axolotl light and I cannot sleep because my head is full of good trouble to quote a really awesome powerful leader … ai might just knit but my partner is sleeping like a truck on me. So alas here I be.
The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.
The crowd has no beginning and no end as it begins its march to the White House
Proud of MI ESPOSO and fighting for #CHICAGO also I voted for @thepsf.bsky.social and proud of that too. And did a talk with local youth about the dangers of AI on the environment … and boxed. And ran 10k. All in a day of me.
Heads up, Chicago friends. It's a good time to review your rights & carry passports, etc. if you have them:
What Immigrant Communities Should Know About Their Rights
All immigrants in the U.S. have rights, including the right to remain silent. Here’s what you should know if you encounter federal immigration agents.

Federal authorities are planning a large-scale immigration enforcement operation in Chicago after Labor Day, government officials announced Thursday. blockclubchi.co/3JXV5iA

One of the inciting incidents in After the War by @genesisoflegend.bsky.social, myself, @claudiacanginiart.bsky.social and a legion of other amazing creators is the discovery of an archive of society changing information on a very, very old interstellar comet. I love stuff like this:)
The Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a shot of a comet visiting our solar system from another star. Discovered last month by a telescope in Chile, the comet (known as 3I-Atlas) predates our solar system by more than three billion years. buff.ly/OErbZi1 #ShareGoodNewsToo

It's 2025. We have actual concentration camps, and a white nationalist setting US immigration policy, and the majority of white people surveyed say that they support how Trump is "handling immigration."🤦🏿♂️ And I *still* have white folk in my mentions saying "I don't think that many support it? 🤡
Found @sirosen.net, myself and @jaraco.com in the background of the shot at 00:50:00 of the #Python documentary! This was at the #Packaging Summit at #PyConUS 2025: youtu.be/GfH4QL4VqJ0?...

My HOME #Chicago under threat from a gigante … bebé? No. Babies are better. From … a wombat? Nah they better. More like a racist misogynoistic privileged etc. If you are coming for #DjangoCon be aware 🧊 & National Guard are - under said joke of a human - expected to be here soon like before/on 9/5.
My electric bill increased 15% about I never really use my AC and have smart plugs and I unplug a lot etc. Thanks Trump for the BBB - Basic billionaire BS.
