184 photos in my camera roll. Half as many deleted. This #pyconau has been maybe my favourite yet, and Brisbane has been very good to me. Love for all the beautiful friends who posed for me and my little camera.

im getting sick and fucking tired of all queer and non-cishet normie stuff being banned left and right off platforms because payment processors get all up in their feelings, but AI can just do this and theres literally no consequences. No, fines arent consequences IF they even happen
