Oh, I should mention: I am currently a freelance Django developer, but I'm *very* interested in finding a few like-minded folks to build a development co-op.

Especially interested in building secure and/or federated versions of the items on this list: https://dymaxion.org/essays/pleasestop.html

last year as it was getting warm i took up an ambitious (for me, a newbie) knitting project and gave up. now it's cold again and i want to make more cozy things but i'm actually still intimidated. guess i better make my kids another scarf lol

incredible how much cleaner this codebase will be once i'm done fixing all these circular imports, but hot damn is this more than i bargained for going into this project

earlier this year i thought after i had this client's upgrades done i would go looking for more clients who were still running python2 and old versions of django, but now i see that doing a good job at this costs substantially more than most businesses still running py2/django1.x will want to pay.

how long should i sit at my desk avoiding work before i write the morning off and go to the bird sanctuary for a while?

the "Epstein didn't kill himself" meme is a big hit because it sounds edgy and truth-to-power-y but doesn't meaningfully threaten anything so it's not dangerous to say.

i was lazy in this post and said "libs" - i don't generally like to use that word bc of the either TPUSA/alt-right or twitter-left/BernieBro connotations. But there's no concise word that describes centrist Democrats without raising hackles? idfk.

Local libs are lining up to donate and stan a literal Guantanamo prosecutor, Jesus fuck

i have been staring at the actual code with the circular import problem for like an entire hour, but i think i've finally come to a solution i can live with... running up against the end of my workday to get it coded and see if it really does solve my troubles though!

so here's a diagram of our module imports
