Great tip from the panel for feminist entrepreneurs: “get loud and be vulnerable and you’ll find like minded people to build a movement.” Being loud about my business is hard for me so I’m reflecting on what that looks like for me. #WESWinnipeg #FeministBusiness

We’re off to a fantastic start at the Feminist Business Summit in Winnipeg. The most beautifully diverse group of entrepreneurs I’ve ever seen. #FeministBusiness #WESWinnipeg #Networking

@porterairlines for the first time in a loooong time, I’m comfortably sitting on an airplane. Thank you for making your stretch seats wider and making the table fold in half! Your new airplanes are great and your staff are fantastic!

@JoshWComeau Hover is my go-to. Their support is good and their UX is straightforward. Porkbun looks nice too!

These 5 key insights were at the core of the UX design and content development of the Aftermetoo website.

It has been the honour of my life to work with the @aftermetoo team to bring aftermetoo.com to life. Congratulations to everyone that made this amazing new resource a reality for people experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace. Please share it widely.

The most aptly named React course because it’s truly a joy! Don’t miss your chance for early access to @JoshWComeau’s joyofreact.com I’m finally understanding concepts that have always eluded me, thanks to this delightful masterpiece of pedagogy.

If you're building modern WP websites with Gutenberg, check out this awesome resource on Gutenberg Best Practices from @10up! Their Best Practices in all areas of WP have been incredibly helpful to me. Thanks @10up and @fabiankaegy for sharing your knowledge and practices! 🥳

@melissajclark_ That’s awesome!! What a treat to attend an in-person WCEU and in Porto! I’ll be watching your feed for reports 🤩

@jessicaduarte No just attending!

Off to Portugal in June for 2 weeks. Visiting Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve region. So excited! Anyone have recommendations? travelawaits.com/2489182/algarv…

@melissajclark_ I’m not sure how good it is because I just started using it but it’s called Fluent Forever.

Is Duolingo still the best option for learning some phrases before travelling to a new country? Let me know what you use, traveling friends! I’m looking to improve my Portuguese and Spanish.

@melissajclark_ @hamganesh is the most thoughtful and innovative designer I’ve worked with. She’s a true unicorn - can build with WP herself and specializes in data-driven design and UX. Very comfortable with Gutenberg too.

WordPress friends: who do you recommend for WP web designers? For custom sites. Ideally designers who understand a bit about the web and block development, design systems, etc. Would love to connect with more designers!

@melissajclark_ P.S. I meant to write "may not be" compliant.

@melissajclark_ Yes, I think the main issues when wrapping the a around everything are redundancy and bad UX for screen readers. It's worse when every item in a card is linked to the same place. That's how WP handles posts in the Query Block and I'm hoping they'll change that.

I remember learning of a CSS technique to make an entire "card" clickable with only one <a> element inside. Better for accessibility to have 1 link. But nice to make the whole thing clickable especially on mobile. Anyone remember or know how to do that? My googling is failing.

@lweichel @patrickwatson @masseyhall @patrickwatson glorious performance! Loved every second. All your musicians are excellent and Kyla Charter was a great addition. What was the name of the singer in the red boots? Would love to find her music too! Hope to see in concert again soon!

@patrickwatson @masseyhall It was an amazing performance! Full of beauty, fun, and imagination. Thank you.

Our show at @masseyhall is coming soon. There are still a few tickets left: tickets.mhrth.com/4385/4386

2 hours a week back to WP. 2022 goal! 🥳 #StateOfTheWord

@melissajclark_ Yes! 👏👏👏

Currently negotiating changing web design colours to be more accessible (colour contrast issues). After the designs were all approved by the client of course 🥴. I wish all designers checked their work before showing the client.
