Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Been combating my addiction by doodling lil guys every morning.
Doodles of an enderman with his pet endermite, a creeper and his son, as well as a family of ghasts and ghastlings.

100%. I don't want anyone to feel unworthy of love like I do/did.

I grew up every sort of bully-able, and hence every sort of bullied. You know what that turned me into?

A loving, if a little flinchy, person who wants to make sure everyone gets the love I didn't.

Bullying doesn't create murderers. It creates sad, hurt kids who need an outlet. Hate makes killers.

A little tutorial to avoid a common mistake with the pectorals connected with the shoulders!

When the arms lift, the pecs shape changes.

I found out via checking in with myself weeks ago that I'm trans. Now, not only do I have to worry about being AFAB, I have to worry about my right to be who I am...

When your not sure if your OCs name is just your new name or you just overuse it instead of your real name online a lot and you're used to it.

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...
#tutorial

Hope someone finds it useful!
A screenshot of a tumblr post reading: "Title: So you want to learn pixel art? Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics! Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic." Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light. "My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art. This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

I've just pushed a small change to cleanEdge that better handles a specific edge case, and a change to the web tool to fix some minor stray pixels in some cases.

here's some before and after comparisons :)

Had a burst of inspiration from my dream last night. Ill try to do it justice with my pixel art medium but I had to share the sketch and the story. TLDR is that I had villain-like powers and after a fight, my friend came and saw I had this eye--that wasn't my eye--where my right eye should be.
A sketch of a person standing in the mirror staring at themselves. Their left eye is close and they don't look happy at what they are looking at.

Spent the time I usually stay in bed every morning getting increasing angry at my phone. Probably won't post art today bc my brain is the worst. I'll try again tomorrow or update tomorrow if I draw throughout the day instead ✌💕

This is taking significantly longer then the other art piece which is both a good and bad thing because I feel my inspiration starting to dwindle but also I need to learn to push through to do this because I know I'll like the finished project.

Anyways, enjoy.
A room with a bed pushed into the upper-hand corner. The bedspread is a rainbow blanket with black stripes and 2 white pillows. There's a blue couch at the end of the bed with a laundry basket on it and a Nintendo Switch. On the right side of the bed is blue carpeted ramp for an animal to get up with and a walled off area that serves as a closet. On the wall above the bed in a singular wooden shelf with just a snow globe and next to that is the window which is also just next to the couch. The window has an AC unit with cardboard above it sealing off the open part of the window. There is also a flag hanging up in the window with blue drapes that are tied off to open up that window space for people sitting on the couch. In front of the couch is a TV on a black TV stand. All the walls that are visible in the room are white and the carpet below is gray.

Here's an update! Probably going to work on it more today since this was just made while I was having breakfast. Update it tomorrow, maybe.
A mostly empty room save for a bed--pushed to the upper-hand corner --with a rainbow blanket, a blue couch at the end of the bed, walls in the right-hand corner that make up a closet, and a window to a light blue void above to the couch. All the visible walls are white and the carpet is grey.

After my last art piece, tried out a few techniques And now going to *attempt* a art piece of a room. It's taking a while tho with sleepiness and burnout. Hope you like the art piece so far tho!
An outline of a mostly empty room save for 3 boxes that are in the shape and area of a bed, a wardrobe, and a window. The 2 visible walls are a greyish white with the windowsill matching that color. The top of the bed is pure white but is unfinished with its other coloring. The closet has no coloring.

My first post and my first art piece with my tablet. Coincidence? I think not.
A bust pixel drawing of a bluish grey humanoid bat. They have a smirk on their face, their fangs poking out of their mouth. They're winking with their right eye and looking to the right with their left. They have goId piercings in their nose and multiple in their ears, one of those being a moon-like clasp connected to another clasp with a chain. They have a mohawk as tall as their ears. The background is baby blue with a light pink circle in the middle. The signature is just an L with a small heart.
