@NHMLA’s latest appearance on Change the Museum. Some public input from @HildaSolis or @HollyJMitchell would be greatly appreciated.

When institutions show you who they are believe them the first time.

The only response from @NHMLA to this thread has been anger and intimidation tactics targeted at staff. Meanwhile, disturbing details on what actually took place at the meeting continue to leak out.

me on a museum rant with my non-museum friends

[No Quarter Will Be Given @chaedria]

More women that benefit from colorism and featurism have to talk about how it gets them in the door cos it’s a nuance that’s missing, and w/o it, it’s silencing the Black women we should be hearing from the most.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

America, where a worker is both essential and unworthy of a living wage.

[Museums & Race @MuseumsandRace]

Anti-racist work comes with transparency. And if it’s not anti-racist everywhere, it’s not anti-racist work.
How would you rate them on the Museums & Race report card? How would you rate your own museum? #museumsandrace #ontruthbeforereconciliation

[Museum Detox @museum_detox]

A masterpiece of a thread talking about data, ethnicity breakdown, and the Culture Recovery Fund

If you’re here for culture, you have to be down for the fight

[MWN @Museum_Wellness]

So if you're exhausted, forgetting things, taking longer over 'normal' tasks, crying over spilt milk (spilling milk is the worst, don't @ me) that's a completely normal response to what's going on.

We need to create a culture of empathy over a culture of deadlines and burnout.

[MWN @Museum_Wellness]

The responses to this tweet show that lots of people are really reaching saturation point. I suspect this is a symptom of burnout, information overload, uncertainty over the future etc. We are experiencing something huge, and it permeates every corner of our lives.
