It's truly astonishing how far @ma.tt will go to paint himself as the victim and claim the moral high ground. Using the death of #PopeFrancis seems a weird flex. www.linkedin.com/posts/kellie... #wpdrama #wordpressterrorism

I'm pretty sure I would have bet my life that I'd never be anxiously awaiting a Benedict Cumberbatch or Olivia Coleman film, but fuck if I'm not all in on The Roses. And now I'm off to watch War of the Roses in preparation. #filmsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkgM...

Worked on my first mosaic project yesterday. Anyone who knows me will not be surprised that I found it quite soothing and that I was also a bit of a perfectionist with placement.

TIL That Automattic P2 has a neat new feature! Last year they added nearly invisible watermarks which are unique to each employee. Cool, cool, cool. Other collaboration platforms have it. But... they didn't announce it. #wpdrama #wordpressterrorism #trustnoone

Worth remembering how many people in senior roles left during the first buyout as well. The brain drain at Automattic / Wordpress.com is real. #wpdrama www.linkedin.com/posts/kellie...

Screenwriters of Bluesky I have a challenge for you: Can you please stop mining cancer for material? It would be great to be able to watch some of my favorite performers with my cancer surviving wife without having cancer be the thing all the time. It's exhausting.

While I'm crying over my stock portfolio I'm at least comforted by the fact that my USD are netting me a good exchange at the moment. 🤢

The lies will continue until...? Just two months ago Matt Mullenweg claimed "there are no layoffs plans at Automattic" Today during the townhall it was claimed there are no further layoffs planned. If you're still at Automattic, WordPress.com, Woo, or any related company I would not trust him.

Vibe at Automattic post this morning's town hall, where Mullenweg finally resurfaced a week after laying off 16% of his company: Not great. Not confident. - Psychological safety obliterated - Job searches initiated Leaderships excuse of "feedback inflation" is patently false. 🧵 #wpdrama

With so many of my fellow Automattic alums wondering how leadership determined who to let go it had me wondering about the likelihood of them doing it based on something other than performance, salary, or future product vision (ha - IYKYK). What if it was based on sentiment expressed in private? 🧵

I wouldn’t go that far, but we did call it the Matt Mullenweg Survivor Support Group for a while. Once you’re out of Automattic you realize how much manipulation and BS you’ve been thru. Quite healing to learn you’re not alone. #wpdrama #billionairesbehavingbadly

Yikes. I truly hope this isn’t the case. If it is true this is a new low for him. I shouldn’t expect different since last time he invited people to leave he was MIA for the rest of the week too. Leaving dozens of people in limbo. #wpdrama #wordpressterrorism #billionaireproblems

While Mullenweg is busy trying to spin that these ~280 lost jobs today because of performance... I can tell you that's absolutely true. **His performance** The number of brilliant, hard working, and talented people who were kicked to the curb today is staggering. Mullenweg is incompetent.

Mullenweg is the worst "leader" I've ever worked for. Coward. After sticking through the tumult of the past six months these folks are getting pathetic severance, pledged "resources" are empty, and as has become de rigueur in tech - the found out from an email. #wpdrama #wordpressterrorism

Watched/listened to the first two episodes of Amy Poehler's new podcast Good Hang and all I want in the world is good friends who can make me cry with laughter. Everyone should have that. Thank you Amy! youtu.be/lXpsfq4wx70?...

I love the Streisand effect. It's the 👩‍🍳💋 of karma. Not a big memoir fan but learning that Zuck/Meta is using dubious legal tactics to keep the author from promoting her book I wanted to read it. The months long wait at my library encouraged me to buy it. #oligarchs #billionaires #carelesspeople

I can't be the first Swiftie to see the new Samara Weaving film Borderline, right? Written/directed by her husband Jimmy Warden and co-starring Ray Nicholson who delivers a joyfully unhinged performance. A tight 94 minutes of chaotic fun w/ numerous Taylor Swift references. Intended or otherwise. 🧵

hi @team-blind.bsky.social - remember me from Twitter and that Automattic CEO blocking/monitoring signup convo? Thin he's brigading/coordinating abusive flagging. Multiple people indicate that their posts have been removed due to community flagging. #WPdrama #wordpress #capitalistBS #billionaires

Uh... talk about waste. It was paint on pavement. WHY are they using heavy equipment and jackhammers to destroy it? Why six weeks of work? That's bonkers.

Does the Wordpress community ever tire of Matt Mullenweg lying to and gaslighting them? Asking for a friend. A thread. #WPdrama #wordpress #wordpressdrama #wordpressterrorism #billionaires #capitalistBS

I've not even been alive as long as Dolly Parton and Carl Dean were together. Dolly has been part of my life since I was a kid though. She is an absolutely treasure and I hope that she is surrounded by the people who love her right now. May we all experience a fraction of the love they shared.
