Now that #aam2022 is finished, I’ve had a chance to reflect on what I’ve learned, the amount of questions I still have left, and the wonderful museum colleagues who had thoughtful presentations. @AAMers

@danamuses Acknowledging sometimes your content isn’t inherently engaging to broad audiences. How can we address that and retool the approach?

@MBTA Me and another lady was at the Merrymount stop heading Northbound to Fields Corner/North Quincy. Both of us take that particular bus nearly since the Wollaston closure. This bus driver has been by far the least reliable.

[Ashley Martin @AshGMartin]

@MBTA the 210 bus driver skipped a stop with two people waiting for the bus and tried to flag down. Just ignored us. #mbta
