Fellow Calcuttan writer/editor Archita Mittra is in desperate need of financial help. She recently lost her father, her home was damaged in the recent rains, & her mother's in hospital. They don't have insurance, & she's a freelancer. I can vouch for her. Please share widely & donate:

I'm SO happy with how my talk was produced for #PyLsdiesCon 2025! The intro by Ariane Djeaupang was fantastic and the slick animated title was awesome! Have a watch here and learn how Python devs (yes, even backend devs) can help out with #accessibility on the web. youtu.be/KrtUTEZzD6U?...

November 29 is International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People 🍉 Kansai Gaza Emergency Action has planned a standing demo 🙌🏻 Place: JR Osaka Station by the city bus terminal Time: Nov. 29 (Sat.) 6-7 p.m. JST

No one should be publishing the U.S. navy's "near Gaza, Israel" w/o comment. Gaza is in Palestine. Israel is illegally occupying Palestine. It's your responsibility to call these things out, yet the word "Palestine" (a country recognized by 150+ states) is not even in the article @bloomberg.com

Secretary of the Political Bureau of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front and General Secretary of the Palestinian Struggle Workers Union Mohammad Alloush is on a speaking tour in Japan this week. Osaka on Sunday. zenko-peace.com/palestine-so...

I guess doctors might save some Palestinian lives or something, so can't have them on the loose (/sarc). Israel wants all their people back, but they'll keep (and torture) as many Palestinian hostages as they want. www.cnn.com/world/live-n...
