Love this focus of Credit Unions. Digital when wanted, human when needed. loughcu.ie/credit-union...
Credit unions are member-owned, non-profit financial cooperatives. A 2018 study with older adults showed the move towards digital banking had disempowered those hesitant in the use of digital tools.

In support of @drjessicariddell.bsky.social questioning of violent words we commonly use, I bring you the Apple tree version of hang man. 9 apples (guesses) on the tree and you guess the letter of your word beneath. Celebrating first week back to school.

Very excited to listen to CMAT’s new album (aka Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson). From Dunboyne, Meath, via Blanchardstown, Dublin, she exploded onto the scene in 2022 and is setting the world alight one performance at a time.

Gorgeous book, the atlas of languages. Shares unusual phrases such as the Catalan phrase ‘Tu has begut oli’ (you have drunk oil; aka you’re in soooo much trouble). Points out weird coincidences like Northern Queensland Mbabaram word for dog is ‘dúg’; no relationship to English word. #booksky #eduSky

Had interesting discussion at EuroSoTL on identities in Higher Ed. While I run a teaching and learning centre, I don’t identify as an educational/ academic / faculty developer. I’m reminded of Stephen Fry saying ‘we are not nouns, we are verbs’. #EduSky @issotl.bsky.social @anda19.bsky.social
