Black man struggling to hold limes in his hands.

Purple stars have been overlaid on the limes.

So many stars, not enough hands

A computer, and through it's screen we see a bug on a sofa, comfy with a drink in it's hand. 
Above text reads: 
I asked the bug what it was doing there. 
It said "I live here now".

The image shows a meme using the "Roll Safe" format. The man in the image is smiling knowingly and pointing to his temple. The text overlay reads: "CAN'T GET A COMMUNITY STAR / IF YOU AIN'T GOT AN MOT PROFILE".

This meme is a humorous take on the requirements or perceived requirements for achieving recognition within a community. It suggests, perhaps ironically, that having an "MOT profile" is a prerequisite for receiving a "community star."

An "MOT profile" likely refers to a profile on the "Ministry of Testing" (MOT) website, which is a popular online community for software testers. "Community stars" are often awarded within online communities to recognize active and valuable members.

It's a real privilege to award community stars to many community members — such a lovely way to celebrate all the ways folks contribute. Yet it breaks my heart when someone doesn't have a Ministry of Testing profile for me to do it.

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.

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