Siren Affiliates

  • I’m at inbox zero, just in-time for the weekend. Feels good.

  • So crazy idea – what if #WordPress split up into flavors, kinda like how Linux has? Is there any reason why something like that is actually a good idea vs backcompat plugins like Classic Editor? Just pondering out loud. Don’t read into this as something more than musings.

  • I recognize that I need a virtual assistant, but I actually have no idea how to use one. 🤔

  • I’ve enjoyed the hyper specific WordPress memes. Silver lining I suppose.

  • Phoebe “Draw me like one of your French girls” 😂😂 Always reminds me of this:

  • “The upside is that you are you own boss now.” “Or I’m the owner of a sad business with a single underperforming employee” Schitts Creek hittin’ hard today 😂😂

  • I’m currently in the “feed cleanse via cute pet photos” phase of the current drama. So I should be back to normal by Monday.

  • Lately I’m doing a lot of video and this is literally the first time a video has taken a screenshot of me that didn’t make me look like like a complete dingus lol

  • Hey. You. It’s going to be okay. In the worst case scenario, WordPress won’t just evaporate overnight, and probably won’t at all. You will have time to pivot if you need to. We’re a smart, scrappy, and highly resourceful bunch. Close socials. This isn’t good for any of us.

  • A possible alternative solution for those sites hosted at WP Engine. It might be possible to replicate the updater on the client side. It’s 4AM where the author’s at. If you’re awake and looking, maybe try it? Contribute some feedback? https://github.com/balazsrm/wp-local-updater #WordPress
