## What you’ll get

- **Field notes from the contributor path** — what I’m working on in WordPress core, the Training team, and on plugins like XFN and Post Formats for Block Themes
- **The “what I’m reading” stack** — links worth your time, with a short note on why
- **Speaking + workshop schedule** — where I’ll be next, what I’m presenting, and how to bring me to your event or classroom
- **Open questions** — the things I’m wrestling with that I’d love your reply on
