UNRWA has enough food for the entire population of #Gaza for over three months stockpiled in warehouses–including this one in Al Arish, Egypt–awaiting entry. The supplies are available. The systems are in place. Open the gates, lift the siege, allow UNRWA to do its work and help people in need among them 1 million children.

#Gaza: This is how Palestinians receive Israeli-American aid—under a hail of bullets. They return injured or as martyrs, all for the sake of feeding their children.

The crew and I just finished a three-story mural in the Over the Rhine district of Cincinnati. This “Vote for Justice” mural is a reminder that participating in democracy by voting is a crucial way to shape our society and push for our ideals. Peace and freedom are important principles for me, and the freedom of every eligible voter to do so peacefully without intimidation is essential for a healthy democracy. While in Ohio, my team and I also pasted up about 35 large get-out-the-vote images in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Springfield. We met amazing people in each city, and the Ohio hospitality was deeply appreciated. We were very fortunate to have the support of ArtsVote Ohio, ArtWorks Cincinnati, The Greater Columbus Arts Council, and Democracy and the Arts, and the Charles F. Kettering Foundation, Dayton. Thank you to my crew, Dan Flores, Rob Zagula, and Jon Furlong, for their hard work—photo by Jon Furlong. -Shepard

My favorite video of the Olympics so far is the cameraman for the trampoline gymnastics

I keep hearing how Germany isn't a country of innovation anymore. Well, I'm here to say that just isn't true.

Today's the day: Writebook is here! And it's free. once.com/writebook Blogging and posting on social is easy. But why is it so hard to publish a whole book on the web? It’s not anymore. Writebook is remarkably simple software that allows you to publish text and pictures in a simple, browsable online book format. It's perfect for publishing instruction manuals), a collection of short stories, poetry, graphic novels, handbooks, and anything that fits better together than apart. Writebook isn't a service, it's software you download and install on your own server. We've made it incredibly easy to get going — it just takes a few minutes. Even non-technical folks can get it all set up. We'll email you a single command you paste into a terminal and it takes care of the rest. No maintenance required either, it takes care of itself, auto-updates, etc. And it also comes with all the Rails code so you can see how it's built, modify it for your own use, and learn how applications like this are made. So, grab it and dive in! We'd love to see what you publish. once.com/writebook

stell dir vor du richtest 100 Jahre lang absolut jedes Infrastrukturprojekt auf Autos aus und wunderst dich dann, dass nach einem Jahr mit einem halbwegs günstigen Ticket nicht massenweise Menschen auf die Bahn umsteigen

sie haben gesagt, dass die Dinge leider teurer werden, wenn die Löhne steigen und dann sind die Löhne nicht gestiegen und irgendwie ist trotzdem alles teurer geworden

@irondavy Lovely!

I struggle to remember most historical dates, even very approximately. I’m a spatial thinker so I’ve tried making a number of different visualizations of history to help me, and this is my latest and favorite: mapping many different time scales to my hand

die Aliens: okay und weil der Sohn eines Gottes gestorben und wieder auferstanden ist… ich: …versteckt ein Hase hartgekochte Eier, was ist daran so schwer zu verstehen?

kann mir nicht vorstellen dass sich irgendeine Droge so heftig anfühlt wie wenn der ICE losfährt und der Platz neben dir frei bleibt

BBC News: “Rafah is a small city in the south of the Gaza Strip on the border with Egypt. Before the war it was home to around 250,000 people, but since Israel ordered civilians to evacuate south its population has swelled to an estimated 1.5 million."
