  • There have been at least 434 deaths since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody ended in 1991. Non-Indigenous men are expected to live 8.6 years longer than indigenous men, non-indigenous women 7.8 years longer. #BlackLivesMatterAustralia

  • Yesterday the team I work with won a little international award, ❤️ working with super talented people 🎉

    🤜🤛 @humanmadeltd & @XWP for your early work; and @WordPress contributors (especially the Editor team) for the platform we work on.

  • My WP journey:

    • 12 yrs ago: wrote my first site
    • 11 yrs ago: WP & PHP became my career
    • 9 yrs ago: submitted first patch
    • 5 yrs ago: started contributing regularly
    • last weekend: deep in Walker and Query classes, ugh

    It’s been real…

    Celebrate Seventeen

     

  • Can we start writing c9s instead of coronavirus yet?

  • I am too excited to come up with a wait for it pun.

  • One of the idiot protesters yesterday didn’t want to be seen as anti-science for her scepticism of a coronavirus vaccine, 5G towers and the deadliness of COVID-19. They’re simply “anti-fake science”. Well, I’m glad that’s sorted then.

  • The hands down best lines of WordPress Core didn’t get props & didn’t close a ticket. https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/commit-messages/

    I’ve been reading old commits today.

  • Last week @kadamwhite asked me for three songs each for partying & chilling. No rules. None were applied

    Partying:

    • Chumbawamba, Tubthumping
    • Taylor Swift, 22
    • Gwen Stefani, Hollaback Girl

    Chilling:

    • Dolly Parton, Jolene
    • Nina Simone, I Put A Spell On You
    • Alabama Shakes, Hold On
  • Watching Die Hard with my nephew who claims it is not a Christmas movie. This may split the family.

  • There is something incredibly satisfying about beating the shit out of your dinner before cooking it.
