Is it a new thing that macOS "find and select text in images" also makes that text available… for the VoiceOver screen reader. That’s an #accessibility feature right, not a bug? Spotted on the @wagtail homepage video: wagtail.org

Ooh @usher.dev @laymonage.com there’s a little story right there via the commit activity graphs!

Anyone up for helping Tom and I run the 2026 DSF Board elections? forum.djangoproject.com/t/preparatio... No one’s volunteered for this yet, which I’ll take it to mean you all trust us to do a great job 😛 feedback would be nice though!

🤔 it’s very interesting how many talk proposals we got in the "Wagtail as a framework" space. Is @wagtail.org turning from CMS to framework like #Django did? (for wagtail.org/wagtail-spac...)

This week’s @djangonews.bsky.social aptly titled "Django and AI" 💥 makes me wonder if it’s time for a coordinated Django x AI task force of sorts django-news.com/issues/296

Achievement unlocked: got a backend-focused dev newsletter to share a link to the ATAG #accessibility standard 🌈 not sure how many people will check it out but this feels like a #win!
