I'll be hosting an "LGBTQ Hangout" open space tomorrow after lunch:

There are dozens of us! Come say hi, talk about anything, or just show up and listen. Anyone is welcome! Saturday, 1-2PM EST in Room 318.

I'm looking forward to meeting new folks and catching up with old friends! 👋

Flying to Pittsburgh for #PyConUS early tomorrow morning to attend the language summit on Wednesday, give a talk Friday evening [1], catch the symphony with some friends, enjoy the PyLadies auction on Saturday, and the PyLadies luncheon on Sunday. I also plan to hang out in hallways and drop in on some summits and open spaces when I have the energy.

Come find me and say hello — it’s always fun to meet new people and catch up with old friends! You’ll know it’s me by the cat ear beanie, purple nails, and fox purse 😹

My talk “Or Else! An exploration of obscure control flow” from North Bay Python is up!

If you have even a passing interest in exploring better alternatives for structuring your code to improve readability — and especially if you enjoy unexpected stunts in the process — then you should give it a watch:

The @NorthBayPython logo lives! #NBPy #ExcavaCon

And there were some “awards” of various dubiousness. #NBPy #ExcavaCon

Some things happened today at #NBPy

You should come join us next year!

Somehow I ended up at ExcavaCon hearing “Back to Backhoes” with @glyph at #NBPy

How do we learn without doing, trying, and failing? @itsthejoker at #NBPy

Human captioner confirmed! #NBPy https://fosstodon.org/@pythonbynight/114406354441451431

Maddy Muscari talking about AI and coining the term “SlopGate” is why I love #NBPy so much.

Parul is here to point out that this bear is neither a panda nor a polar. #nbpy

Crimes against Python have been committed.

You have three days to get your ticket to @NorthBayPython and witness it for yourself.

Also there will be barn cats. 🐈

I should be finishing my @NorthBayPython talk, but because I’m terminally ADHD, I made a thing instead:
