hi - it appears that some AI generated art is attached to this article. I’d hope in the future to see more solidarity between the underfunded arts & underfunded tech communities, via paying artists for real pieces.
Graphic reading “Applications Open! Sovereign Tech Fellowship” above a photo of five smiling people standing arm in arm, wearing matching black “Sovereign Tech Fellowship” hoodies. The text overlay states that the fellowship is open to FOSS maintainers, community managers, and tech writers, with applications due April 6th, 2026 at 11:59 PM (CET), and mentions freelance and employment options as well as flexible working hours.
🎉 Applications for the Sovereign Tech Fellowship are officially open!
What’s new? For the first time, community managers, and technical writers can apply alongside open source maintainers until April 6, 2026, to become Fellows.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

this is the correct location for all conferences
my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels
@sarahebond.bsky.social reviewed a new book about The Met’s 2022 polychromy exhibition that highlights the foremost scholars studying polychromy today. It marks an important shift by museums toward recognizing polychromy and its entanglement with white supremacy.
Low-quality AI PRs are a serious threat to the open source ecosystem, which is precarious already due to lack of funding.
Truly sucks to see maintainers like @akien.bsky.social, who have put so much work into making OSS projects welcoming, have to deal with this junk deluge.
yes it’s 4am and my eyes are burning from lack of sleep as I lie next to a baby and a brass button (separated)
life with a newborn [normal person]:
if I try to sleep, the baby wakes up
if I try to identify the date of this 19th century general staff military button, I don’t get any sleep
In a heartbreaking day for those of us who appreciate nominative determinism, this C17 account of works at Chester Castle lists a carpenter named Richard Plumm, a plasterer called Thomas Cooper, and a stonemason named William Woods.
if he means it can automate bullying then, sure thing
brutal for this to be relevant to me
my neighbor told me today that she’s started paying a landscaper to maintain her yard, and it’s paid off in (shocked tones) “enough free time to read two books”

“Each new paper invariably reveals one more wretched malady. Perhaps next year we will learn that Ötzi had pimples or weird-looking knees or just a bad vibe generally.”
FINALLY some good news for Ötzi, thank you @sabs.bsky.social !
ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
This is just great advice in general.
Delete more Jira tickets.
was reading it yesterday and we decided to have chicken soup tonight. Kid didn’t eat a bite!

Wishing I were at FOSDEM to catch up with folks! I haven’t slept in a month, coincidentally my baby is 1 month old 🥱

Keeley: 😍 is this the new book by my favorite YouTuber??!!!!!
me: …..ah yes, I totally uhm knew any of that…I know, uh, Media
neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

this is why I try not to digest my food (for science)
