The Tories said the SEND system is “lose, lose, lose”.
I agree.
The difference is I’m gripping the issue. We have already restructured the Department to focus on improving inclusion in mainstream schools for children with SEND.
A long way to go, but an important start.

Happy world pangolin day
Today we celebrate this amazing animal and by doing so we get to highlight an animal desperate for help. The most poached and trafficked animal on planet earth. This is a big part of our stage show and we are happy to support the amazing Moses in Uganda

@thibaud_colas Congratulations on being elected to the Board! 👏

Guess what! 🙈 djangoproject.com/weblog/2023/no…
Time to make Django the most accessible web framework, with the lowest possible carbon footprint? What do you think?
Thibaud@thibaud_colas
Today I sent my application to the Django Software Foundation Board ☺ (djangoproject.com/weblog/2023/oc…). Here’s the personal statement I wrote, I’d love to hear what people think of it (particularly if you think I’m wrong): --- To me, Django feels like it’s in maintenance mode, a decade behind in areas like front-end development and serverless. To stay relevant compared to projects with tens of millions in venture capital, we need a more vibrant, more diverse community. We can build one together by making the right programs happen, like Djangonaut Space and Outreachy. The DSF also needs to evolve with the times. In the age of ChatGPT, copyright and trademarks are very dated concerns. We need a foundation that can help its community navigate modern societal challenges: social equity issues affecting our users; accessibility issues plaguing the Django web; climate change and Django’s carbon footprint. I can help. Let’s grow Django’s contributors 10x, and have the Django universe lead by example in community-driven open source.

I wrote a blog post working through what it would take to recreate a crispy-bootstrap5 form in vanilla Django.
The move to template based rendering a few versions ago certainly eases this, but I found errors still a bit tricky.
What do you think?

@AdamChainz I managed to break my branch this week trying to change something in the initial commit.
Reflog came to the rescue.
