Dear @Expedia - I am a disabled, plus-sized traveler whose travel companion had to cancel. I'd like that other seat in my name for room and I need to use that tray for eating on. It's a 28 hour flight. Your team says no. So now I won't be able to eat on the flight, (cont'd)

Geo Geolingo, Product Manager and Rise ERG leader at WP Engine, sought to create an art piece that challenges people to think critically about equity and equality -- how each term is defined, and how the differences between the two can play out in the real world. To bring this vision to life, Geo collaborated with local artist Russ Oberg to craft a visual statement reflecting a core belief: workplaces should foster an environment where employees feel safe discussing complex and meaningful topics.

Just over 16 years ago, I took a bold step, risking my entire source of income by open-sourcing my Revolution theme. Doing the “right thing” set a precedent that—still today—played a significant role in the growth of #WordPress and the thriving ecosystem that emerged as a result.
