A three-panel reaction meme. The top panel shows a woman smiling broadly, seemingly pleased. The middle panel features white text on a dark background that reads "WHEN YOU'RE PLEASED WITH A MOUSE LIFE HACK," suggesting the woman's reaction is to a helpful computer mouse tip. The bottom panel shows a man with glasses and a beard looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression, perhaps representing someone witnessing the reaction to the "life hack." In the background of the middle panel, a blurred image of a computer screen with some menu options and text is visible, hinting at the context of the mouse-related tip. A yellow pointing hand cursor is also visible on the blurred screen.

Ben Dowen and Brittany Stewart celebrate Ben's mouse pointer life hack during Software Testing Live: Episode 03. Shop 'till you DROP;

Two Spider-Man's characters pointing at each other saying 'I know you'

I know you.
And I know you.

A nod to Simon's recent memory where he experienced two members meet each other for the first time even though they already knew each other. This is community.

A meme based on the iconic scene from the movie Spartacus, where several men in chains are standing and declaring, "I am Spartacus." In this edited version, two men have speech bubbles saying, "I am Diana," humorously replacing the name Spartacus with Diana.

Diana is off on maternity leave and her tasks magically get done by TeamMoT.

Oprah Winfrey in a red dress pointing to the audience. The meme text is "You get a star and you get a star".

Basically the result of conversations I've had with Simon and Rosie this week

Someone join the event with their own copy.

When you don't want to miss the event you come with your own copy so that you don't lose access in MOTAVERSE.

Man with sign that says "Jane, Jane, Jane" alongside a screenshot of 3 Janes joining the TWiT virtual stage.

Today Jane x 3 joined us on stage on TWiT.
It was like the dude with the sign predicted the future.

Bug in crowd cast shows Jane and Ujjwal being joined to Crowdcast for This Week in Testing many many times

That time Ministry of Testing missed the brief, and instead of unlimited membership, built unlimited members.

The matrix meme, the best thing about Jane is there is so many of Jane

That time Jane joined This Week in Testing trice, and MEMEs needed to be made.

The Two Buttons meme. One button has STEC written above it. The other button has TESTBASH. The person looking worried underneath has the label TEAM MOT.

Focusing on what matters can be tricky. And that's sometimes how it feels at MoT. We're a small team doing big things. We love co-creating with the community to expand the MoTaverse. Software Testing Essentials Certificate (STEC) is a big deal and the community members who co-create it are super special. Likewise, TestBash is a big deal and the community members who co-create it are super special. We're up for the challenge and focus our efforts on both. 😃

A man in the street is holding up a cardboard sign with the words "Jane Jane Jane" on it. There's also a screengrab of a webchat. Text: Yes we can hear you! Could. [tear emoji] Can!

The persistence of the wonderful Jane D'Cruze shone during a This Week in Testing. I'm so glad she stuck with overcoming the audio difficulties so she could share her well of wisdom.

Woody and Buzz from Toy Story. One looks worried while the other looks excited.

Testing is a serious business. Rightly so, risks are everywhere and our profession is there to educate, explore, expose and eradicate risks before they reveal themselves to customers and end users – yep, I know, not all risks ;-). Yet I think we can at times take ourselves too seriously. This is where the MoTaverse can help: Serious when it matters and fun when it also matters.
