"My friend is going through a tough breakup, and I'm co-writing an anthem for her. Being in a room with two other women writing and singing together felt powerful. @TheLeens is teaching me a lot about releasing music that's accessible." - Sam

"You’re asking me to choose which children live and which children die." The head of the World Food Programme (@WFPChief) tells @krishgm that $600 million is needed to tackle the food crisis in Ukraine for three months - saying "no child should die from starvation."

Making sense of energy price rises is important. They’re going to be the cause of a lot of poverty in the UK, soon. So, I’ve been doing some analysis. What follow is a bit simplified, but not too much. What it reveals is that you’re about to be ripped off, massively. A thread….

COVID climbs again as UK Govt slashes ZOE surveillance youtu.be/pGcIoyXbjqM from @Join_ZOE. Well worth watching and using the app (they’re finding new ways to get funding). – at Edinburgh, Scotland

One more video from #Kherson, south #Ukraine, where local residents are holding a protest rally against the #Russia|n invaders who occupied the city several days ago. Extraordinary defiance of ordinary Ukrainians!!!

Russians occupied Kherson, a southern city where my whole family is from, and are now streaming Russian TV-channels. But make no mistake – the locals will never fall the Kremlin's propaganda. P.S. This is fucking Orwellian.

‘Vintage’. Walking down a small lane I saw what looks like a 1960’s car and gas pump, each with their own little parking bay. Made me smile 😊 * * * #vintagecars #carmemorabilia #bnwphotography instagram.com/p/CZklFqYoTqA/…
Business cases tend to come from a ‘requirement to justify’. ‘Accessibility’ shouldn’t require a business case, it should be included mandatorily. Swap out the word ‘accessibility’ with ‘inclusion’ and it becomes even clearer. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

So cool to see 8 of my favourites I use on IOS, especially Voice Record Pro for audio. Songwriters and audiophiles, you’re missing out if you haven’t tried it. #audioapp – at Edinburgh, Scotland
