And bless you all. Awesome work. And more diversity is needed too. Here's to widening our web and world :D

So I can only use pics of me I took? That's thousands. That others would freely give, more. What about pro photos I own rights to? What specifically can I provide as there are decades, I share for any purpose but hate.

Sadly there is gender and racial bias beyond the burnout. Dori Smith is a Godmama, author, standardista. No bio. She is in a note about Web Standards Project on Wikipedia.
"Zeldman, Steven Champeon, Todd Fahrner, Eric A. Meyer, Tantek Çelik, Dori Smith, Tim Bray, Jeffrey Veen."

As a writer I totally get your point. And it's got workarounds if we organize. Janet Daly expressed a great idea on FB of a 10 person "klatch" with cyclical input so as to avoid that burnout and keep folks fresh. This is also socio-political in part and that is unacceptable IMO.

So for women and Wikipedia, Laura shared this awesome! Thank you. We need more accurate history for all humans, and especially marginalized, segregated folks left out of a nascent industries evolution. Thanks Laura!

A colleague and friend shared this:
@WikiWomenInRed !!!
Personally, I'm happy to know you have a page at all too. History matters and sadly is almost always wrong.
Maybe WikiWomenInRed can help out as well. I'd gladly contribute to an effort like this too.

Preferably before it's posthumously written or deleted. Frankly, I'd delete it but that feels wrong too. At one point, many "others" were organizing to course correct the lack of gender and culture diversity on Wikipedia. That was a great idea. Did it ever happen and can I help?

It may be ego, but it was earned. I want my damn Wikipedia page updated as it barely touches reality and has caused questioning of credentials. My edu, WaSP work, Gates F2Fs, articles, keynotes, training, SME for higher ed courses ain't. And apparently I was awarded once in 1998.

The Web itself is not a commodity. We act like it is because we default to known patterns: Push, pay, buy, sell. Stream. Ads. Lies. Misdirects. That is very human behavior we also refer to as "insane" as the outcome will never change unless we do. #GoWide #ScaleUP #RememberWhy

Why are ads which can be paid for only by those with real budget for ads NOT considered ransomware when an opt-in free for anyone option IS? Because: Predatory capitalism. Brave may well be the Civil Libertarian of browsers. 🤣Personal freedoms, civic responsibility and service.

I meant limitations on working in person. I love collaboration and working with others F2F. And as Social Distancing shows us, staying online doesn't seem quite enough, but hopefully will usher in more remote options for workers in any industry.

Also, mobile ads FFS. Talk about nighmares. And I spent a lot of time with @Opera before the split when they bought up mobile advertising. Wise for profit. Not for a nice user experience.
