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.
Please read our statement, share it with your networks, and support us if you can. www.python.org/sponsors/app... psfmember.org/civicrm/cont...

WYDEN: Did you promise any tax promoter you would help them if you got confirmed?

LONG: I can answer that with an affirmative no

W: So you didn't meet w/ anybody when you were in town for the inauguration & promise help?

L: Not that I can think of. And I had food poisoning

W: We have it on tape

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.

Trans things...

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!

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.

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 ✌💕
November 6, 2023 at 1:29 PM
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.

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.

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!

My first post and my first art piece with my tablet. Coincidence? I think not.
