Diversity efforts need to expand further. Acknowledging past progress doesn't mean the work is complete. It is important to not assume the mission is accomplished and to keep pushing forward. People shouldn't assume being vocal is attention-seeking. #diversity #inclusion

Podcasts *should* be goldmines of fresh ideas and honest conversations. Too many, however, drift into echo chambers. It's time to demand more from the podcasting space. #podcasts #ideas

Sharing accessibility knowledge freely can face resistance, not due to inaccuracy, but because it may affect sales. Earning a living shouldn't stifle diverse perspectives or discourage open source learning. #accessibility #opensource

I'm considering a Face-to-Face Meetup for Elementor/WordPress in Leicester City (UK). - 2 hr monthly.- Free to attend.- Close to train-station, travel links. Just speculating interest for EL/WP in Leicester/Midlands. Could start something great. #WordPress #Elementor.

Cliques exist in every industry, influencing visibility, promotions, and recognition. Open discussion is crucial for change. #IndustryCliques #WorkplaceDynamics

Everyone deserves a fair shot, regardless of their background. Having been overlooked and ignored, I speak up for those smaller creators who struggle to be seen, not for myself, but for them. #equality #community

Tooth extracted yesterday. Head still feels like a hollowed implosion. Not liking this!.

Need something to stand out?. #wordpress

The speaker clarifies their stance on a previous WordPress discussion, emphasizing the intent to foster honest conversation rather than stir drama or seek attention. It's about addressing industry-wide issues, not personal gain. #WordPress #IndustryInsights

Just because someone has earned authority doesn't mean they should silence other perspectives. A new voice can highlight blind spots that veterans miss. Treating authority as dominance discourages new people from even trying. #leadership #innovation

Experience in WordPress doesn't automatically equate to being right. Dismissing others' questions, especially from those newer to the community, can stifle growth and discourage participation. #WordPress #community

My excitement levels for videos. Prepping the idea = 100%. Recording = 95%. Editing = 30%. Cover Art = 15%. Uploading = 1%. Releasing = 100%.

In the WordPress ecosystem, being visible often outweighs the quality of your work. Great tools and methods developed by many go unnoticed without sponsorship or big names backing them. #WordPress #community

WordPress isn't broken, but it can be better. It is possible to have podcasts that serve the wider community, WordCamps that balance community and learning, and promote real quality and not just familiar names. #WordPress #Community

3 Videos recorded this morning as I suspect that I'll be in non-talking mode for a day or 2 after today. Upper Molar tooth to be extracted. Dang.

When all criticism is labeled as toxic, open and honest communication comes to a halt. This creates a fragile bubble where only praise is allowed, and nobody wants to see that. #constructivecriticism

Diversity extends beyond race, religion, and gender to encompass thought, skills, and approach. Bias persists; some admit a name or background affects their perception. Some prefer echo chambers, threatened by disagreement. #diversity #inclusion

Many plugins are hyped to the heavens, but underperform. This is because promotion isn't about quality. Visibility often beats quality. If honest critique is labeled toxic, a praise-only bubble is created. That's not healthy. #WordPress #plugins
