If you work on #education and #integration, you might like this article! Within the TEAMS (Teaching that Matters for Migrant Students) project, we compiled a taxonomy of European educational practices that aim at supporting migrant students!
It's open access! ;)

One of the interesting things about being autistic is that when you describe something honestly and accurately, people will reply by saying "thank you for your critical perspective."

I found this video so deeply moving - it is about the Minyak language in eastern Tibet, and one speaker's journey to losing hope that there is any chance for the language to survive.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Please, donate if you can! ❤️ 🅰️ 🆎 🅱️ 🅾️ ❤️
NI needs around 1,200 blood donors every week and at times even routine donors can't donate.
The process to #DonateBlood is super easy and you save up to 9 lives (also you get biscuits, I can't stress this enough)

I was deferred from donating blood because of low iron. I'm gutted cause donating is such an important solidarity gesture for me. My grandma died of leukemia and my father has always taught me the importance of giving this simple gift to a stranger to honour her memory.

Per i miei follow italiani: dato che i pronomi neutrali al momento non sono diffusi nella nostra bella lingua, mi trovo costretta a usare il femminile.
Vi prego di immaginare tutte quelle desinenze -a come un femminile drag ✨💅
Che alla fine we are born naked and the rest is drag. Rawr.

Rotten academia, here we go.
Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

My manager sent me an email to remind me not to work on Monday because it's Brigid’s day.
A boss in a previous job told me that they were working on their holiday so I should have done so as well.

Funny enough, I'm way more productive now. And on Monday, I'll sleep and watch TV.
