Started a new job (!!!) with a *very* long commute so please send me your podcast recommendations.

I tend to like engaging informative podcasts not into true crime or fiction but open to anything if someone makes a good enough pitch

Today is the anniversary of St. Louis' First official Pride walk! April 20th 1980 was a "Walk for Charity" during the first Lesbian and Gay Pride week.

One day I hope a future history person has to wear gloves to go through my drunk photos from my college women's group.

[Sarah Moldafsky @MoldyMuseumEd]

It's kind of funny cause I'm looking at a collection of photos from an event ran by Wired Woman, a queer women's group who highlighted women artists and put on shows, and I'm wearing gloves to go through someone's party pics to use in a school tour

[Sarah Moldafsky @MoldyMuseumEd]

Y'all I'm freaking geeking out. I've gotten to explore photo collections today in our LGBTQ+ collection and happened to be here on a day that a bunch of unprocessed boxes donated to the collection are out and I get a peek. So many good artifacts for my queer history tour

[Sarah Moldafsky @MoldyMuseumEd]

At least on the internet/in digital collections. I'm in education and don't specialize in archival research but neither does the average person googling so think about how this reinforces bias

[Sarah Moldafsky @MoldyMuseumEd]

Wow I love it when you are doing research on historical black neighborhoods that were systematically destroyed and can only find images of blight instead of pictures of what the communities were!

[Sarah Moldafsky @MoldyMuseumEd]

Yes I did make that cute neighborhood board

I'm pro gossip tbh

[read the room @muramxo]

gossiping? you mean oral histories and traditions?

[Sarah Moldafsky @MoldyMuseumEd]

There are some things we want to see how people think on their feet but for most we want to see a thought out answer of how they would thoughtfully approach the task

My manager has a fantastic idea for equitable hiring which is to send the applicants a list of the main questions we will be asking.

@emmiekell We did the de escalation training that they usually show in hospitals. It was online and we didn't do the whole course just bought the section that were relevant. It was like maybe 5 hours total? If that?

[Sarah Moldafsky @MoldyMuseumEd]

I feel like people are always like how do you help someone in grief or during a bad time and while this might not work for all but for people who struggle with it, esp neuro divergent peeps, this was the most amazing thing I never thought to ask for.

[Sarah Moldafsky @MoldyMuseumEd]

I've been grieving this week and one of the kindest things someone did that I've never thought to offer was they came over put Elly's things in storage and cleaned my apartment. It was so nice coming home to a clean place

[Sarah Moldafsky @MoldyMuseumEd]

@AlliHartley1 Love good codependent cat (this was written as my cat is trying to lay on my face for cuddles)
