Today I wrote and scheduled the next blog post for the February Contributor Day and created the corresponding GH issue. I'm working on social media images to submit for an amplification request from the Marketing Team so that it can be announced on social media.

I also worked on this: https://github.com/WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker/issues/1440

On dotorg, I'm ninianepress and jenni on Making WordPress Slack.
