A purple graphic features a large white quote in the centre that reads: "You've gotta be really realistic about what you can and can't change, otherwise you're going to end up in burnout mode." Below the quote, in smaller white text, is the attribution: "— Anne-Marie Charrett." In the bottom left corner, there's a cartoon illustration of a brain with large, square glasses and a slightly open mouth with small, sharp teeth. The top right corner has a white logo that appears to be "MøT." The background is a gradient of dark purple to lighter pinkish-purple, with faint white star-like shapes.

Anne-Marie reminds us of the reality of what we can and can't change when in a leadership position. And the binary nature can be profound...
A starry TestBash Brighton 2025 beach scene features beach huts filled with familiar MoTaverse characters. There’s a bug in a top hat, one with angel wings, another wearing a cape, and one clinging joyfully to a hut roof. A duck in a space suit waddles in. The iconic MoT flag flies, while a seagull soars overhead with a pencil in its beak. In the centre, a tester gently rocks a pram containing a test bug. Postman’s sponsorship arrives with energy and collaboration, expanding the API testing frontier in the MoTaverse.

Below, there is a live chat where Eamon asks the question, 'Can someone explain grey box testing please?'

Aj and Oleksandr provide responses to this question.
A discussion on TWIT had me wondering what 'Grey Box Testing' was. Luckily, some lovely people were on hand to answer my question!
Hey everyone, we just launched a following on the MoTaverse so I thought I'd quickly show you how to do it. ↵ First up, you need to find someone to follow.  So let's  type in someone's name.  In this instance, we're searching for Bug

There we go. And we're going to scroll down and find Bugs account, which is there. And hey, there's Bug. So you can follow Bug. You can see Bug now has two followers and they are not following anyone else. And try that again. Maybe let's follow Space Duck. There we go. There's Space Duck. Let's give Space Duck a follow. 

Who else should we follow?  Space Seagull.

Space Seagull. Let's give Space Seagull a follow.
A micro tutorial on how to follow people in the MoTaverse :)
