Today is not Friday, but it's still a good day to support these groups. Do you use Python at work? If so, does your employer sponsor or contribute to the PSF and the Python packages you depend on?

I voted. Did you? This year's election is down to the final hours, and voting is an high-impact way you can continue to contribute to Python.

Feedback is hard to come by, especially positive feedback. If you appreciate someone, if their work has helped you, and especially if you want them to continue doing the things they're doing, let them know.

ATTN PSF Voting Members: The 2025 PSF Board election vote is open now until September 16th! If you affirmed your intention to vote in this year's election, or voted last year, you should have an email with voting instructions 🗳️ Learn more on our blog:

An organization worth supporting: www.authorsagainstbookbans.com. They don't take donations directly, but you can financially support some related organizations listed at www.authorsagainstbookbans.com/faq/#:~:text... if you are so inclined.

Thank you @djangocon.us for a wonderful conference!

❄ My next picture book, SNOW KID, comes out in one week and is available for pre-order now at your local indie or online! You can even pre-order signed and personalized copies from Books of Wonder: booksofwonder.com/products/978...

If you're planning to vote in @thepsf.bsky.social Board Elections and maybe thinking of taking the weekend to learn about the candidates, may I suggest that you check for your ballot today? PSF staff won't be working on the weekend and won't be able to help you until next week.

Happy Friday. It is a good day to support your open source foundations, maintainers, and communities.

Relive the energy of #PyConUS 2025! With 2,225 attendees from 58 countries, it was an unforgettable 9 days in Pittsburgh, PA. Catch all recordings + our official recap here 🎥👇 pycon.blogspot.com/2025/08/pyco...#PyConUS A huge thank you to all who made it happen💛 Next stop: Long Beach!🌴🐍

I haven't posted much about it here, but I host a discussion group of sorts called Conference Chats (www.conferencechats.org). We're a community for community / event / conference organizers, and if that sounds like something you're interested in (experienced or not), I invite you to join us.

🕛 The quarterly due date for PSF Fellow nominations [1] is about nine days away. I've talked / posted about this at length in the past and shared a blog post on the topic last year [2]. These nominations and recognition mean a lot to the people who help build (1/2)

🕛 You have ~half a day to nominate yourself or someone else for the upcoming @thepsf.bsky.social board elections [1, 2]. You also have ~two weeks to make sure you're registered as a voting member if you'd like to vote this year. [1] pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/07/psf-... [2] time.is/compare/2pm_...

I watched "Choose or Die" a few days ago (I was not originally planning to, but one of the writers made a short I really enjoy). It's not a new favorite or anything, but I enjoyed the premise and some of the execution.

I've watched too many bad (and not bad-in-a-good-way) horror movies recently. Who has good, fun, or bad-in-a-good-way recommendations? Lesser-known titles, crossover genres (horror-comedy, horror-sci-fi, etc.), and non-English titles welcome.

#PyConUS recordings continue to go up! One freshly posted session is the annual Steering Council presentation, with updates on Python 3.14 🥧, free threading, and more. As Pablo would say, WOW.

PyBay CFP is open til June 8th! sessionize.com/pybay2025 The conference is happening October 18th in SF, and it was really great last year. I just submitted to the CFP, you should too! :)

I am spending much of my Sunday working on my PyCon US 2025 scrapbook -- noting phrases from recap blog posts, social media posts, and my own "overheard" notes throughout the event. It is a joy to see the unique ways people experience the conference and its communities.

Because I have Mr. Rogers on my mind this week, here is the article I keep mentioning regarding his rules for (what I am reminded is called) "Freddish": web.archive.org/web/20180609.... It's worth a read, even if you've read it before.

Which year was your first PyCon US? Whether it was long ago or currently ongoing, I'd be thrilled to hear your stories about how the conference has inspired you, the friends and coworkers you've met, and what keeps you returning.
