Ok but here’s the challenge - you can’t do that all at once so how do you prioritise… republicans first surely… 🍿

When you do a venue walk through there are soooo many things to look out for. Thank you for catching my blind spot and helping us improve. (We fixed signage by Friday and the venue arrange extra bins on site on Saturday!)

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
