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. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_-Z...

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) nibts.hscni.net/register-as-...

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. #BloodDonation

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. #AcademicChatter
