Last keynote of the year is on Monday and I figured out a fantastic idea for 2026 keynotes. It's circling around mental health and spoons and the next great Developer experience evolution coming to Python and not internalizing broken environments. Tell your conf team I'm open for scheduling in 2026

I know this isn't a fair curry-parison; but can you believe I had both meals within the same 3 day span? 📍Cambridge hotel lobby (left) 📍Bengaluru, Tamil themed food with only locals around (The girl next to me was teaching her boyfriend about Tamil food she was very comfortable explaining)

This low-key could be my best keynote yet. So so thankful the the illustrations that inspired the narrative structure of the keynote. 😍 theyre so cute.

Our addition to the neighborhood window dressing: "fight fascism, protect our neighbors, resist ICE" As ICE activity is expected to ramp up in Philly, it's important to signal the virtues of your neighborhood. We're in great company, judging from our neighbors' signs. Fuck ICE. GO birds.

My 11 year old puppy got a clean bill of health at the vet today!! Teeth could be cleaner but they're "fine for his age" and he's also a bit lumpy but it's "all looks benign" and that heart thing they thought they may have heard last time "was because he was excited" at the vet. 🥹🐶

Its a @pycon.us 🎨 Day! Painting the ball python patterns on my wood carving (post wood hardener, pre walnut stain, & finish) and started carving my second. Both carvings are available for auction at the #PyCon US PyLadies Auction. cc: @anacondainc.bsky.social @python.org @thepsf.bsky.social

I am very excited for this. It needs more sanding, wood hardener, painted Python spots, wood stain and sealant. First of ten I'm making this year celebrating Python version 3.14 coming in October. Two are going to be auctioned at @pycon.us 's @pyladies-bot.bsky.social Auction.

How do we use generators to solve orchestration problems? Can be difficult to have zero % fail rate. #cosmosdb @pytexas.org

I'm so madly in love and proud of my filmmaker wife. She is gearing up for filming her short film. This is after lookbooks and table reads and casting calls and location scouting and prop planning and so much coordination, all while also editing her second documentary (coming early summer 2025).

That's great!!! Actually, if you're a DS9 fan, that reminds me of Kira and Odo. Bombshell and alien made of goo.

This is now an R Aquarii stan account. 😳 😲 #JWST #Space #Aquarius #Space #NASA

A pair of stars: a white dwarf and a star that is 400 times bigger than our sun. As the white dwarf or it's the big star it socks some energy off making it a disk and then the energy from that will be pulled off and makes these rings in the wake of it's orbit. It's a glowing light in the center with whispy light flowing off horizontally in a ring and vertically in a ring in this picture.
