#SnowDay #WFH and living in your parents' basement while you finish working on the house you bought means coming upstairs to make lunch, and your dad is like, "I was just about to text you and see if you wanted some MacNCheese for lunch." Absolutely I do! #win

#Overheard @EiteljorgMuseum's Dia de Muertos event yesterday between a mother and child: "If you do, the next altar will be yours!" #museum #museumeducation
Read the whole thread! This is why #mentorship is SO important!!
My partner pulled off the most wholesome, archaeologically adjacent, bamboozling act of kindness and I had to share it. 🧵 When I was in Rome this summer, somehow my trowel ended up in my carry-on. I was mortified when it was discovered in the TSA line, because I knew (1/?)
I've decided if I win Mega Millions, I'm going to go to all my favorite museums and endow the salaries of all the education departments and whatever is left over I'd call @nempnetwork and figure out how to endow an AMAZING paid intern program! #Museums #PayYourInterns #LivingWage

The future of museums includes salary transparency! AAM must commit to equity for all museum workers and #ShowTheSalary - Sign the Petition! chng.it/Xm6pvYRq via @Change

#Teachers if you ever get the urge to have your students write thank yous to #MuseumEducators, please do! Don't mind me in my office oscillating between warm fuzzies and crying because this work is hard many days! But this, even misspelled warms my heart!

Also it makes me so happy that they signed their cards with what they are wearing! I always tell the students if I don't know your name you've got to remember what you're wearing that day! 🤣

I have seen this sooo much in the last year.....but specifically in the last 6 mos!! #museums #DoBetter
Replying to @am_ledesma
I said it before and said it again: museums are hemorrhaging the talent and capacity necessary to make them meaningful for the future.
So excited to FINALLY!! (after multiple tries) been paired in @AAM_EdCom Museum Education Mentoring Program! #stoked #summerproject #personalgrowth #professionalgrowth

We need to continue to be loud and remind these people that what they are doing is destroying this site and its reputation!! Please consider writing to the board and the Nation Trust of Historic Preservation. None of the staff deserved this. They should be on the board instead!

This is deplorable! #Montpelier culturalheritagepartners.com… Understand that @SavingPlaces actually owns the property. I assume they would be fully within their rights to terminate their relationship with @JMMontpelier Foundation.

I have attended multiple workshops in the past with this organization and have praise the staff to the skies because they are just that good!! @JMMontpelier has now lost their entire brain trust. They are idiotic and it is despicable!

Very grateful today I took Intro to Geology in my undergrad so I could ID for the tiny human visitor (8yrs ish) the crinoid she found in her school parking lot! She was amazed and educated! And hopefully will associate good knowledge with #museums in the future! #MuseumEd #win
