“The future of museums is accessible. It is decolonized, queer and anti-racist. The future of museums is radically inclusive. If the future of museums is not those things, there is no future for museums.” #saa2019

America was such bitch on Friday and now expects us to attend her birthday party on Tuesday? I don't think so, sweetie.

lol do you know any women
are there instances of women becoming obsessed with historic events? definitely a male preoccupation with certain phases of history (Civil War, Nazis, Hitler) & reenactments of battles. women may obsess over reading, music & dance, kitties, doggies, clothes, gardening, men.

A romance author's 'family' posted that she had died by her own hand due to online bullying. The romance community rallied, raised $, supported her work. Two yrs later, she's back from the dead. And this will be the premise of her new book. THIS IS WILD. upstreamreviews.substack.com…

the richest man in the world should not be so online. it’s unbecoming. JP Morgan once took a boat to Egypt because he wanted to sleep in a tomb to imagine what it’s like to be a dead Pharaoh. that’s what rich people should be doing. not tweeting about NYT movie lists. yuck.

The venn diagram of ‘people responding w outrage’ & ‘people who have actually visited that exhibit’: O O This thread & the @ExploreWellcome aren’t perfect but I’ll take this over all those dusty 2022 DEAI Initiatives any day. And the exhibit was fucking gross. So there’s that.
What’s the point of museums? Truthfully, we’re asking ourselves the same question. 🧵

Let’s all send good vibes & drinks of their choice to the @ExploreWellcome’s social media team as they trudge through the absolute trash in their replies. It’s thankless and emotionally exhausting work to run social for a nonprofit.

How much does it pay, @AAMers? Weren’t you *just* bragging about doing the right thing/bare minimum by finally requiring salaries on job postings? Didn’t you *just* get good press and pat yourselves for this very easy and equitable decision?
This job was posted 3 days ago. AAM salary requirement went into effect November 15. aam-us-jobs.careerwebsite.co…

It's not just that gay bars are supposed to be a safe space.

I see that the protracted goodbye is uncomfortable for some of you. But as a midwesterner, I am prepared to stand in the doorway and raise new topics of conversation until they turn the lights off. 👋👋

Here is the thing: yes, I do a lot of ~museum talking~ here on twitter; no, I will absolutely not join a dedicated museum worker social media network. Museum people always trying to make everything into homework.
