@fklux Thank you for your amazing contributions. I very much appreciated your course and all your efforts. That was thoughtful of you to make sure it has a home at Ollie.
Interesting move. I think it will displease those allergic to the monarchy (and I’m one of them) but I think it’s a strategic and highly symbolic move to indicate Carney’s desire to forge stronger ties and allyship with Europe, gradually moving away from the U.S.
In a Slack post, @photomatt proposed accessibility be a canonical plugin rather than just baked into core. Here's info about the proposal and why @joedolson, @RianRietveld, and I don't think that it's a good idea. Global Accessibility Awareness Day is happening this month and I would encourage everyone to consider and speak up about the impact of this proposal should it go forward. I honestly cannot see any upsides. All I see is increased overhead and the possibility of fewer contributors when large organizations can no longer use WordPress.

Given how front and center design is these days, I am still shocked that there is no “code of conduct” or guide to ethical design principles. I had my students write the Designers “Hippocratic Oath” and am sort of in love with what they came up with!
If you haven’t already, do yourselves a favour and watch “The French Connection,” “Unforgiven,” and “Mississippi Burning.” Gene Hackman was extraordinary, RIP.
If an English-speaking politician in another province said the same of a Qc francophone minister’s English, QC’s National Assembly would have already passed a unanimous motion condemning it & calling it “Quebec bashing” but I guess it’s ok if he gets to make fun of anglophones.
StellarWP cut my position today for budgetary reasons. If you know of a role that might be good for me, please send it my way. I’m specifically looking in marketing and community. Thank you!
(No hate to Stellar or the folks there. These things suck, but they happen.)

I don’t want to go. But I can’t stay.
Open source might be all we have left, and I am going to give it my all. Please join me! 🦋🐘

If someone can confirm to me that Matt is no longer able to access Post Status, then I may consider joining for the first time. His unmoderated behaviour there has been the single biggest deterrant to me joining, and it is not a safe space while he is there.
The sad story of how Automattic became the villain they painted WP Engine to be.
A judge delivers swift justice for WP Engine - and more embarrassment for Automattic.
What was the point of Automattic damaging WordPress and themselves - all for nothing?
