My sister might be moving to Minneopolis/St. Paul, MN area September-ish 2020 and is looking to find some good poetry &/or creative non-fiction writing groups. Anyone have any experience in that area recently?

The second part of the event as planned this year was to be a creative exercise workshop meant in part to inspire and spark new works for future years. If anyone is interested in persuing an idea they’re thinking of turning into an artistic performance feel free to reach out to me and we’ll schedule a time to chat about turning your lived experience into art (maybe even for PyCon next year).

My script from PyCon in 2019 can be read here if you're interested: https://kylerconway.com/2020/03/16/hello-world-2/

Sadly, the Art of Python event will not be able to take place this year as the event was conceived, envisioned, and planned as a collective, in-person experience and celebration that would not successfully transition to a mediated format like a video stream successfully.

(It's a secret).

So once again I'm writing like I did before I found myself sheltering in place and now I'm so embarrassed that I hid the writing I should otherwise showcase. At any rate, I thought I'd write and share this secret sonnet of which you're now aware.

In quarantine I have been writing thoughts down in my org-mode notebook to preserve the things I'm thinking as the world's distraught with stay-at-home's and flattening the curve. I realize I have been trying to hide the simple joys of language from myself with self-imposed busyness I tried ignoring simple keys to mental health.

@xor -- I figure you might know the answer to this interpreting of copyright -- Am I reading this right? Is this old, not pre-1925, WPA poster in the public domain?

At any rate, happy social distancing? I miss Monthly Zine of Public Domain Treasures in 2020, but cherish the works from last year (and that snazzy button)!

Hope you're well.

Seclusion Sonnet #001

When stuck in time between a tunnel's light
and each escape obscured by mortal dread
from whence shall solace torch a flame so bright
alleviating anxiousness in head?

If you use Calibre as an ebook management system and want a local server on your home network give this a try: https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web

Dead simple setup (pip install, just point it at your Calibre Library, IP:port connect ... that's it.)

Just started running tonight but it's excellent so far.

Just kind of speechless about this whole thing really.

I have an #encrypted installation of #Ubuntu and I've removed the disk from it's original computer and need to access the files in the #LUKS partition 3 in the screenshot, but even with the password I'm only able to access Partition 2, which is #grub and #efi so I'm assuming it's the #linux boot disk.

What am I not understanding about accessing the files in the #LUKS partition from a different machine as an external drive?

Any advice or links appreciated!
