I talk often about breaking out of walled gardens, that you don't have to be on corporate-web in order to be on the web. This is a fantastic article about the problem and how to (pretty easily) fight it. Well worth reading. Also,

Their "more efficient" process than having writers write: • AI identifies possible stories • Reporters do further reporting and produce notes • Another person uses AI to generate a story from the notes, then rewrites/"tweaks" • Another person fact-checks/edits • Reporter reviews

"Shadow work" is a great concept, not just from Jung but also Ivan Illich, who used it to refer to a major source of Big Tech's Jungian shadow: requiring more and more free labour from the consumer.

Leadership in open source isn’t just about code. At WordCamp Canada 2025, I shared how project and product managers can help lead WordPress releases through coordination, communication, and glue work that keeps contributors aligned and shipping on time. Here’s a look back at the talk, key lessons from the room, and why Ottawa’s vibrant WordPress community made it one to remember, eh?

July Meetup: Unlocking the Power of Federated Networks with WordPress
Do you know what the "Fediverse" is? Are you in it? Using the ActivityPub plugin (GitHub), any WordPress site (or user) can be federated and act as a client or server in relation to other ActivityPub users and platforms, like mstdn.ca (a Mastodon instance) and edmontonian.social (a Misskey instance) because they all implement the ActivityPub standard for a decentralized social web.
