  I’ve never tried a model like this before. But watching the Python community applaud without support frustrates me. Recognition doesn’t pay for servers, events, or time. “Donations” make people hesitate. Stories don’t. PyBabies turns stories into something you can hold. Figures, zines, collector cards, sticker packs. Series 000 celebrates 15 years of PyLadies. Soft sales at #PyConUS and #EuroPython. 25% goes back to PyLadies. You get the work. They get support. And I don’t work for free.

  One week. PyCon US starts next Tuesday. If you've been "thinking about it," Houston, stop procrastinating. Just come. It’s going to be fun. New AI and Security tracks. PyLadies Auction (chaotic, the good kind). Lightning talks. Open spaces. Hallway track. Ice Cream selfies @mariatta Sprints with the people who built the projects. If you're on the fence, open the gate. Registration is still open. I’ll be there. Probably running in loops. Stickers if you find...

  RE: https://fosstodon.org/@pycon/116487432210126490 HEY!! The last hotel block at the Westin closes tonight (Pacific time). Book through the link from @pycon site if you haven’t yet. Come find me (I’ll be running in loops) and grab a free sticker (you earned it by clicking the link). Plus some mystery swag 👀 as a thank you. I wrote about why it matters here: https://georgiker.com/blog/are-you-attending-pycon/

  I’ve been working on PyBabies, a personal project where I create art collectibles inspired by the stories of people behind our Python communities. I’m starting with OG PyLadies founders. Here’s my first teaser: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXMziujID61/?igsh=eXNtbzJzbWd1aTRy #PyBabies #PyLadies

  RE: https://fosstodon.org/@ThePSF/116403474490412403 If you’re attending @pycon this year and have not booked your hotel yet, please book through the website. This post helps explain hotel bookings and why they matter.

  Are you attending @pycon, or orbiting it? I wrote something personal about why where you stay during PyCon changes the entire experience, and why this year it matters more than usual. If you’re coming to PyCon US, this one’s for you: https://georgiker.com/blog/are-you-attending-pycon/

  They don’t call me full of shit for nothing.

  Start positive. Instead of doing your 1st to-do list in 2026, create your first done list.

  RE: https://fosstodon.org/@ThePSF/115854323204938524 🥹 5,600 contributions and $500k! This comes from YOU. It's a game-changer for @ThePSF But the real story isn't the number. It's what it represents and why I stayed in this community: Python isn't just a language. It's a community of people who believe in open source, believe in sharing what they know, believe in collaborating, and believe in building together. Thank you to every contributor. You&amp...

  I added my partner's phone to the router's parental controls. No internet on Sundays. He still cannot figure out why 😆.

  Why invest energy in D&I work when it's being questioned everywhere? Because barriers are real. Because Python is global. This is what not giving up looks like. Check out my post: https://georgiker.com/blog/python-is-for-everyone/ @Reuven @juliobs @brnsb @riecatnor @keanyaphelps @karobotco
