Literally just stepped off stage at #WTSFest Philly after my session on AI and content.

The key takeaway: Don't let the bots order your cheesesteak. They'll always sound like tourists.

Did every AI today just decide to stop following basic instructions at the same time?

We asked Donald Trump to cut health care costs. Instead, he cut off a wing of the White House.

Today’s temp spread in Denver is going to be pretty bonkers…low of 32° with a high near 80°.

Extra impressive considering there’s no front involved. Just good ol’ downslope!

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

Every hand raised, every nod, every question. It all hit me right in the feels. This community shows up for each other in ways that are rare and real.

Huge thanks to everyone who cheered during my session, shared their takeaways, and kept the conversations going afterward.

Last week, I stood on stage for the first time at WTSFest Philly, and it was an incredibly awesome experience.

Getting to share space (and lots of laughs) with our incredible Women in Tech SEO community reminded me why I love what I do.
