I was not entirely surprised to learn that @brainwane is involved!
https://www.volunteeramnestyday.net/ Today's the solstice, so it's a good day to check in with yourself, and end the commitments you need to end – maybe by taking a break, or by rotating it on to someone else, or by sunsetting a project.
We are sad to inform our community that Marina Zhurakhinskaya died on Saturday. Outreachy wouldn't exist without her dedication, which continued until her last day. https://sfconservancy.org/news/2022/jun/14/remembering-marina

I took my toddler out for a babyccino and the type of pastry known in Québec as a chocolatine (her favourite), and ate a quarter of it myself when she didn't finish it.

I really loved Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita's first harp/kora collaboration, Clychau Dibon. Apparently I missed their second album, Soar, and their third, Echo, came out a few days ago.
I'm sure they used to be on Bandcamp, but no more.
Computational dadfluencer, lapsed musician. Endless OS Foundation-er but don't expect too much work chat. I once worked in “film” and it was weird.
