Wonderful day remembering and celebrating Mar Dixon, a few tears but so many happy memories of a remarkable woman. Someone called her “a good troublemaker” which I like very much. Huge thanks to @IronbridgeGMT for having us #RememberingMar

This is going to be fun! ...if you know any 13-16 year olds at a loose end this week, please suggest they sign up to this event at @ltmuseum Acton Depot. We're diving into an immersive, time-travelling, puzzling quest and looking for recruits to join us!

@sambaars I was searching “2019 election results in order with declaration time” earlier trying to find a list like this. Of course you had one in the works! 👏👏👏

not at all questioning the cause or the project - and I get that charities need to make ends meet, but the solution can't be undervaluing the people doing this work.

Dug a bit deeper into this exciting but curiously written Project Manager role with @HIVstorytrust only to have it confirmed by the team that it pays just over £127 a day. a rant/thread 🧵@fair_jobs https://t.co/xnSO1lG6ul

[Chris Webb @chriswhomakes]

they ask for understanding of the history of HIV, experience of impactful community activity and events that impact wellbeing and confidence. This fee is far from equitable, especially considering the mix of professional and lived experience candidates would bring to the table.

@sohotheatre why have you spoiled the #dragraceuk result in the subject line of your email this afternoon? How annoying #knowyouraudience #spoiler

acknowledging that ChatGPT no doubt draws its intel from the amazing work of groups like @fair_jobs @museum_detox @MuseumAsMuck - not saying AI is the way forward, just saying advice is in abundance!

[Chris Webb @chriswhomakes]

Time for another sporadic emergence on Twitter to publicly roll my eyes over bad recruitment and interview practice. If #ChatGPT can summarise this much in about 5 seconds, then no one has an excuse!

[Chris Webb @chriswhomakes]

@kathleenlawther This is a good case study of why decolonisation needs to go beyond thinking about objects/policies. Training and dialogue with colleagues are key, as well as looking critically at how museums replicate tropes around philanthropy and colonialism

We stand with our dear friends and comrades of London-based interdisciplinary design collective RESOLVE, who have decided to pull out their Barbican exhibition them’s the breaks. Read their statement here: https://t.co/TXN6kAYNpB

[Chris Webb @chriswhomakes]

This leadership role with @UCL_Culture is a fantastic opportunity, but frustrated to see 'degree or equivalent' rear its ugly head after being phased out of past JDs, and also the 'right to close applications early' on the listing 🙄 @fair_jobs
