It was uplifting to see the @americanart courtyard filled with Effie's friends and family today. I enjoyed getting to know her better by hearing your stories. Let's help the family by contributing to Melina's scholarship fund https://t.co/i3nPEevOoV https://t.co/IAA44wW1mf

DC #musetech friends and those traveling from afar, we plan to meet at @DirtyHabitDC (outside with heaters) on Saturday, January 7 (at 5PM) for an informal gathering to remember and reflect on the life of Effie Kapsalis. All are welcome. (Please share this with your networks.)

I've been mourning the wonderful Effie Kapsalis @digitaleffie since learning of her death. As I won't be able to physically attend the celebration of her life in Washington D.C. (https://t.co/7XjY1sseLi) I've been thinking about what I can do to honour her life & contributions.🧵

@artlust Oh, this feels like a fitting use of sad energy, thank you for the idea.

[Andrew Lih @fuzheado]

It is with great sadness to report that Effie Kapsalis @digitaleffie is no longer with us. She was a fierce advocate for open access to knowledge at the @Smithsonian and beyond, and a passionate @Wikipedia supporter. @MuseumCN #Museweb #OpenGLAM #GLAMwiki https://t.co/pBhQkYc99A

Well, I’ve been avoiding it over here because I’m extremely moody about losing my first true social media x museums love. #musesocial

Remember excitedly meeting them for the first time at a conference (and then wondering how to communicate in longer phrases than tweets allowed?)

The fight against antisemitism has deep roots in New York.

In the late 19th century, to combat comments minimizing and erasing the history of Jewish Civil War service, a group of Jewish veterans convened in Manhattan and established the Jewish War Veterans of the United States.

Oh big stretch!

"Yawning Tiger" in our @cooperhewitt was sculpted by Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington around the 1920s. Daughter of a professor of zoology, Huntington was known for her realistic depictions of animals. #BecauseOfHerStory #InternationalTigerDay
