Imagine if we cared less about women smiling and more about women dying at the hands of men they know.

Managed to make it in to the @MigrationMuseum for a #MuseumSelfie

@reallykazcooke @Library_Vic @nma @artscentremelb @MoAD_Canberra @ACMI @nlagovau I once caught a fellow curator sneakily testing a 'vibratory massage machine' to see if it worked. Shall not name names. #AskACurator

If you're putting together an online presentation it's a good idea to remember your talking head needs to go somewhere - leave space for it on your slides and make your slides *consistent* in format so your attendees don't have to constantly move your face around!

Because we have never changed the Australia Day date.
*Except for the several times we have.

Most young people want Australia Day moved from 26 January, a new poll indicates. https://t.co/DXvFLk31iW

@MarDixon @MuseumSelfieDay Starting to feel the summer heat a little over on this side of the world - a good day to be inside a museum! Hope you're surviving lock down, feeling lucky to be in Adelaide right now!

A throwback to last year’s tour of some of the @SAMuseum store with the wonderful Tara & the @HistorySA team for #MuseumSelfie Day after a productive working bee.

@KristyKokegei Well you've jinxed it now!

@Miss_Meels Unfortunately history is full of old white men, and the photo collection that yielded that image did not include the ideal ladies shot.

I took a break from Twitter a while back and only just remembered to log back in on my own account ...

@SaywhatNathan I don't think that I've entirely managed to achieve this but attempting to shift away from the 'this is what we've got' stories and to ask questions instead about 'why have we got this' ... work in progress.

Listening to Dr Tony Birch articulate exactly how our history of violence against First Nations people is documented & evidence of systematic planned genocide "Black Fire - a taste of history" https://t.co/I5Ya3Ba8ez @Eventbrite

[Centre Of Democracy @CentreDemocracy]

#Onthisday 57 years ago today (28 August 1963) around a quarter of a million people came together in the U.S. capital in what Martin Luther King rightly predicted would “go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.”

Racists are the problem

Not immigrants or refugees

Hate threatens our way of life

Not Muslims

Bigotry makes our streets unsafe

Not our local mosque

Ending racism is not taking something away from you

Unless your privilege is based on the suffering of others

@ProfPCDoherty @broomstick33 The worst is many in media are not concerned with THEIR impact on the Public Health emergency or harm they cause. Seems like a coordinated political attack not 'noble' journalism. They WANT others to join in the pile on. Inciting negligence in crisis #auspol #Covid19Vic
