The DjangoCon US CFP closes on my birthday! 🎂 Maybe I'll wear this party crown when I submit my proposal. You should submit one too! It's not cash or flowers, but it's still an acceptable birthday gift in my book. 🎁
Get those presents (ahem, proposals) submitted here: pretalx.com/djangocon-us...

Apparently I have a new neighbor in my crawlspace. Must have sensed that a #Python person lives here. Funny that it showed up while I was watching Python Unplugged too. 😂

I voted early in the NC primaries. If you also live in NC, please go vote! Due to gerrymandering, the primary might be your only chance to make a real choice!
If you don't live in NC, you can go vote for @wagtail.org in the CMS Critic Awards. Anyone can vote! Vote here: cmscritic.com/vote
This looks like a fun time to me!
We're going LIVE in ONE hour! Come hang out with me and the awesome Dawn Wages as we do a live upgrade. Live upgrades means nothing will go wrong, right? 😂

Je veux vraiment que Wagtail remporte un trophée de CMS Critic! Tellement que je publie dans ma deuxième langue.
Votez pour Wagtail s’il vous plait! Avec ce formulaire: cmscritic.com/vote
It's time to get out the vote y'all! Wagtail has been nominated for TWO CMS Critic Awards! If you love our software, please show your support by voting for us.
Get your ballot here: cmscritic.com/vote
(P.S. If you're in NC, don't forget to vote in the primaries either! March 3 is Election Day!)
I'm just a smidge excited about us adding autosave to Wagtail y'all. 🤣
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.

Hurrah for another release! 🚀
Woot! Thank you!
@scopicengineer.com I'm putting together a talk for the PyLadies conference on building more accessible websites. Would you mind if I use this graphic in my video presentation? With full attribution and credit of course.
I'm not impressed by leaders who do fancy financial magic to get the military paid but refuse to do the same for millions of poor Americans and children who have no other options.
If you're equally unimpressed, join me in donating money to your local food bank today. This is mine: foodbankcenc.org
I'm proud to be a member of the PSF today. Thank you @python.org for standing up for our values.

This is the face of a happy (and tired) conference organizer celebrating a well-run event. 😂
We had an incredible #WagtailSpace! With over 450 people attending live from over 20 countries around the world, I am SO PROUD that we brought together so many amazing people for our 3-day journey.

Our #AI talks are on Day 2 at #WagtailSpace, and I think all our speakers have had a very practical and measured approach to it. If you want REAL advice (not hype!) on using #AI in your projects, come hang out with us!

It's a bird! It's a spaceship! NO, it's a bird IN a spaceship! 😆
Y'all, I'm legit proud of the programming we put together for Wagtail Space 2025. In a world full of scary headlines and enshittifying tech, I feel truly happy to be lifting up stories of people using our software to help others.
One of the most common questions I get has nothing to do with Wagtail. The most common question I get is, "How do you do that space thing in Zoom?"
In honor of Wagtail Space, I made a video showing you how to do that. I hope it brings you as much joy as it has brought me.

"Wagtail. It's wonderful! It's beautiful! It has dark mode!" A great enthusiastic endorsement of @wagtail.org at #DjangoConUS. Thanks for the kind words Chaim Kirby! Glad Wagtail has helped make your family's adventure blog extra special.
I gave some #AI tools this time around when I was working on a Wagtail CMS project. TLDR: They were a net positive, but they didn't always get things right for Wagtail. I wrote up a couple things you should watch out for if you're #vibecoding with these tools.
