This #LGBTHistoryMonth arrives at a critical moment. The recent executive orders in the US targeting DEI programs and trans rights remind us why documenting and preserving our history is more vital than ever.

Forcing someone to get married against their will is a criminal offence in the UK.

In certain cultures, it may be seen as the norm for parents to influence their children's decisions when it comes to getting married. However the final decision is always yours.

Create demand for your MVP, before you build your MVP.

Great visuals attract top talent. You'll need that developer eventually.

Remember: You can outsource coding. You can't outsource your image.

[Matt Mahmood-Ogston @matthewogston]

In a world where everyone scrolls through content too quickly, visuals stop thumbs. Stopped thumbs lead to sales, signups and investors.
