"The Trump administration admits to testing conversion therapy on trans prisoners and implies its policy of forcibly detransitioning trans men in prisons has the aim of preserving their fertility."

Taking away women's rights & reproductive choices isn't just about abortion. It's about things like this. Removing choices about how to give birth. The state enforcing its will on our bodies. Predictably, they're running the play on Southern BW first bc they know no one will care til it's too late.
you are conflating the PSF with the Python Core Team, this is very much something governed by the core tram, and are effectively maintained by one single person. it was a decision made through the standard PEP process, and judged purely on its technical merit and available resources.
that said, while I understand it's easy to be frustrated about changes like this, please do not assume you understand the full picture, and be kind to the folks actually building and maintaining things for *you*
please remember regardless of its size, Python is still a mostly volunteer driven project. if you would like to fix the issues with the old MSI installers, which AFAIK basically means re-factoring the whole build system on Windows, I am sure it would be appreciated.
just speaking on a small part of the overall picture here — the old direct MSI installers had a fundamental problem when shipping multiple builds, such as regular and free-threading, this created a major UX problem. pymanager solves this.
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

I've started to play with lazy imports thanks to my WASI build script being in CPython's repo, and so I wrote a post about how to adapt your code for running subcommands with argparse to play nicely with lazy imports.

Throwing some financial support toward @python.org? Excellent!
If you are a #Django user, consider also supporting the DSF.
The Django Software Foundation has been running a fundraiser for the past couple weeks. It ends it 5 days.
Let me post a *non*-subskeet for once... We made a thing!

one of these days I really should get started on trying to convince the glibc folks to add a dlopen-from-memory feature, so that maybe we finally get that feature sometime this decade 😅
do you have any specific questions?
🐸Bluesky Reptile and Amphibian friends! We have a major issue here in Atlanta. The Amphibian Foundation is being removed from their building next year and needs funds to help relocate their conservation populations.
Please donate if you can!
Apparently the UK adult verification thing has basically banned blind people from half of the internet because they can't use the verification system 🫣
people unable to work are not expected to do so, unlike in a capitalist society. not to mention how awfully inept the current capitalist society is to handle neurodivergency in work settings, which is in large my specific problem. but fuck off I guess.
the ethics of bringing people into the planet are very complicated
the world is simply fucked, and I truly wish I would not had been born 😢
if I can't work I am unable to survive by myself, and can't actually enjoy life, as I am unable to do the things I am passionate about, or almost anything else, really.
I hate living in a capitalist society so much. we are treated like machines, and if I can't work I am just broken and useless.
which one are you taking? if you don't mind me asking

ADHD is so fun when it makes you forget to sleep, and then you can't actually sleep, end up staying awake for 3 days, and when you finally can, you sleep for 24h 🙃
