This is one of the last workspaces still functioning in all of Gaza, and it’s in the north where the IOF is focusing its ground invasion. And the kids are still coming for their exams, and the team is still helping them—to ground their community in the land and resist ethnic cleansing. Join in.

I don’t care about being correct. If you care about digital rights, this is a volunteer-run tech space supporting dozens of kids for their exams this week. In Gaza City. Which is being invaded.

They rely on us to cover fuel costs for their generator. Chip in: chuffed.org/project/spark-space-gaza

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Our news editor @kerrblimey.bsky.social has some advice for developers and PR reps looking to navigate the press slalom:

A quote from an article discussing how to engage with journalists that reads:

"No matter how cordial our correspondence, there might come a time when I have to report on you, your product, or your company in a way you no longer find beneficial or flattering. That is the job. Reporters are not an extension of your marketing department. We are not there to promote you, your product, or tailor headlines to meet your specific needs.

"Acknowledge this before you agree to an interview. Let the truth wash over you like a salve. You'll be better off for it."
