Come one, come all. #amaga2022 coffee cart is open for your morning fix.

[Michelle Hobbs @HistoryMissM]

A PSA for all my #AMaGA2022 chums - there is a free (yes free) barista coffee cart available for all your caffeinated needs. Far end of the stalls near the entrance.

Listening to Jessi England talk about #KnowMyName project @NatGalleryAus and say "women and gender diverse people". Just curious if anyone would ever say "men and gender diverse". Why/why not? Is it a subconscious grouping of minorities? #Amaga2022

[Michelle Hobbs @HistoryMissM]

Corinne Estrada has reminded us arts degrees, curatorial positions and museum audiences are all generally held by women. Yet there's a lack of representation of women in exhibitions. Why aren't we creating exhibitions about ourselves? #amaga2022 #shewasalsoawomen #knowmyname

[Michelle Hobbs @HistoryMissM]

Are we too judgey of immersive exhibitions being 'just a selfie spectacle'? Is this a form of cultural snobbery?

talk about collaborating!! Fiona's project - the Alternative Archive - involved working with 26 curators. #AMaGA2022

[Michelle Hobbs @HistoryMissM]

#AMaGA2022 loving Fiona Sinclair's initial premise of curators as historically the gatekeepers/dictators of taste 'for the public good'. Changing but good to see it so clearly acknowledged - follows Ron's sentiment earlier of us getting too caught up in our own self importance.

If you're out of pasta
Or if you're low on rice
Adopt a shelter kitty
And they will bring you mice

We got this.

We’re about to tell you an incredible story. One we’ve been keeping under our hats for 7 whole years.

It’s the story of how we heard the voice of our Egyptian mummy Nesyamun for the first time in over 3000 years.

⭐ HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS ⭐

@DustinGrowick can you confirm/deny if any Dinos actually had access to coffee plants?

[Michelle Hobbs @HistoryMissM]

Hey @Channel10AU your adverts are shameful. By getting your presenters to read out insulting tweets about themselves (and pretend they aren't upset by it) you are perpetuating internet bullying and showing the public that it's ok to to disrespect and insult people.

[Michelle Hobbs @HistoryMissM]

@interactivate Bit of both. Love having new ideas and starting projects but hate making contact with new people.

[Michelle Hobbs @HistoryMissM]

@CuratingCamille Our whole department has been getting this lately, we're within an organisation where the museum is not core business and the two levels of upper management seem to have no idea what we do or what to do with us so they consistently question and second guess our abilities.

[Hannah Cornish @HannahLCornish]

What's that Skippy? It's high time we decolonised natural history collections? We agree, visit the new @GrantMuseum exhibition #DisplaysOfPower

[Michelle Hobbs @HistoryMissM]

#schoolstrike4climate great turn out today for #ClimateStrikeperth.

[Michelle Hobbs @HistoryMissM]

So the local community art competition is on this month and I love this entry - titled Mermafox. Looks like something out of @badtaxidermy

[Michelle Hobbs @HistoryMissM]

I was so lucky to see this at the @HRP_palaces conservation labs as an @OpenPalace student two years ago. Brilliant to see it out for public viewing.
