Ok. Deep breath! Time to unveil something I’ve been working on for years. My debut travel book is out March from @BloomsburyBooks. It explores different kinds of pilgrimage in Britain made across time and landscape. Writing it was an extraordinary journey. I gave it my everything

[Hannah Cusworth- is away for a bit @hannahcusworth]

Is it just me or does a salary of £50k seem quite low to be the head of a such a significant museum? It’s a lower salary than being a Head of Department in an inner London school…

Another whole job with critical responsibilities listed as voluntary. Who can afford to work for free? Trust fund kids and retirees. Very inclusive! 🙄

[PCS V&A Branch @VandPcs]

This evening, @TristramHuntVA is meeting with @young_vam staff to discuss the removal of the poster below from display.

Our members, including LGBTQ+ members, have asked that a rep attend with them.

The @V_and_A have informed us that they will not allow reps into the meeting.

[Daniel Lismore @daniellismore]

Hey @V_and_A I know you’ve explained about the books, but you have not explained about this. I got an explanation. And it’s not satisfactory. “and the poster by itself could trigger a negative response in a highly charged environment.” Tell me
It’s not transphobia!?

Me coming back onto Twitter once a month just to shitpost about terrible museum job salaries 👋🏼

[Dr Becky Lawton @bbeckyL]

Nice job. AWFUL salary. Sure you can live on this but can you live well? Probably only with another source of income to boost. V exclusionary 👎
