“One of the misconceptions about autistic people is we take things literally” #KiwiPyCon
The "curmudgeonly kind" @benno keynoting #kiwipycon @kiwipycon
Lots of gems from Benno's keynote this morning but 10/10 for community building, _local_ community building, and how that helps us all defend against people who don't have society's best interests at heart.
(Also, that those in privileged categories need local community to "know who you're helping", because if you don't find out, where's the pressure to make space, leave aside your financial incentives, etc)
Deeply smart and compassionate talk, well worth your time.
Today's keynote on neurodiversity in capitalism really hit home in a few too many places. I have in the past given up and walked home after being unable to get into an event because the entrance was a bit unclear or difficult and it was a pleasant surprise to hear the speaker mention that as a thing. #autistic #kiwipycon

If you're in town for Kiwi PyCon, and would like to see my face and hang out and have coffee or food or something before the conference, you should reach out!
Or after! After is also good. 🙂 #kiwipycon
Alright friends! I have a weird ask!
At #KiwiPycon for @pythonnz next month, we're going to have BATTLE DECKS, where speakers present talks based on slidesthey didn't write.
Please send me your favorite, weirdest talk slides so that I can anonymize and enter them into the random running for this event. If you know of good ones and you know the speaker, ask them to share them?
Please boost!
