Just when it seems there are no words left to describe the living hell in Gaza, a new one has been added: “famine”. This is not a mystery — it is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment and a failure of humanity itself. Famine is not only about food; it is the deliberate collapse of the systems needed for human survival. People are starving. Children are dying. And those with the duty to act are failing. As the occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law — including the duty of ensuring food and medical supplies of the population. We cannot allow this situation to continue with impunity. No more excuses. The time for action is not tomorrow — it is now. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages and full, unfettered humanitarian access.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been *trying* to share some fundraising data & insights we’ve seen via @IgniteNI. It’s just every day deals are happening, the data is out of date and it just keeps getting better. Drawing a line. ~1pm will drop some data. Insights <24hrs. + pls AMA

Stop living based on these four things: 1. Other people's opinions 2. Fear of failure 3. Emotional scraps 4. Comments on your tweets Start living based on these four things: 1. Your terms 2. Lessons learned from mistakes 3. Respect and support 4. More vegetables

The Duchess of Cornwall visits the workshop of silversmith Cara Murphy. Cara, the daughter of a silversmith, set up her small business 26 years ago. Continuing the family craft, Cara’s own daughter is now also studying Silversmithing and Jewellery. #RoyalVisitNI

If you, or someone you know, is looking to learn the craft of UI design, check out the Building Beautiful UIs course. It's the rigor of a classic art school approach with real world homework, emphasizing craft over hustle. Currently at a reduced price!
I’ve been getting one question repeatedly about this is: Q. Why are you selling a $1,495 course for £95? A. I’m at a point where I have eight weeks of content (Course 1) ready to go, but not Courses 2 and 3. I’d like to test it all, hence, £95. Plus, I want to share it! #BBUIs
