why start with metal, arguably the most niche of them all? honestly it's because i develop on a macbook and i think it's neat

i drew cuddly tentacle moment

an artwork by Spindle of the characters Medea, a human with green hair sitting on a single armchair, propped up on a pillow, looking with loving eyes at Joe, an Octople (tentacle jellyfish creature), who's holding her with tentacles, holding a mug for him and Medea. Joe's mug says "#1 Husband" in fancy cursive, while Medea's has "#1 Wife" in fancy modern/sci-fi style text

SUPER COOL AND VALID REASONS TO TRANSITION, AN INCOMPLETE LIST:

1) I’ve had dysphoria my whole life and it ruined me. I dropped out of school and almost died before finally transitioning. Now that I am who I was always supposed to be, I can breathe easily for the first time.

2) It seemed cool.

Typewriter Monke @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social · 6d

ok but to be honest if someone actually transitioned purely cause they felt like it was a trend they wanted to get in on that would be cool as hell? like yeah, use that bodily autonomy, fuck around because you feel like it

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
