As a Python core developer and PyPA member, most of my open source work involves Python somehow (from working on the language itself to libraries that utilize it). I also write on my blog and social media.

You can view sponsoring me from two different angles. One, you appreciate what I do in my spare time (i.e. blogging and coding), so you want to help offset the costs of me doing those things by tossing some spare change my way (e.g. blog hosting, computer upgrades, etc.).

The other way to view things is every commit is a gift and you want to reciprocate that gift with cash to pay for food.
