If you really are committed, how about supporting Medicare 4 All? I had cancer for a 2nd time this year, now at age 30, first at 7. My surgery costs currently total $124,584, not including diagnostics. I’m lucky because I had hit my deductible. No one should go bankrupt for care.

The fight against cancer is personal for my family, like it is for millions. But I’m confident that with the strength of dedicated scientists and researchers, tireless health care workers, and brave families like yours, we’ll win this fight once and for all. #WorldCancerDay

"Museums espouse lots of high-minded ideas about the elevating power of culture, but as workplaces, they leave a lot — a lot — to be desired," writes @cmonstah

So since @AASLH's conference is in Mobile next year, what are they doing to fight this kind of historic erasure? I had a conversation with @DichtlJohn in Boise where I said that I won't be safe attending next year's conference, as an out trans person. This is why.

In states like Alabama, anti-LGBTQ+ censorship is coming for the archives. https://t.co/vv9ki3gYuq

This is our time to act. Or at least it will be following our months-long iterative visioning and planning process.

LONGEVITY PAY UPDATE: On July 1, 2023, @Philamuseum Management reneged on longevity pay provisions of our union contract. We filed a grievance to settle the dispute. Have they worked with us to find a fair resolution?

No, they’ve repeatedly rejected our grievance. 1/8

For the last few years, I’ve been interviewing folks involved in the Avant-garde scene in the East Village in the late 20th century - the place where the modern business of drag (as filtered through RuPaul) was created

Please blame any and all poor sound on our editor. He is a rabbit.

So much love for this group of people! 💕

[alison (they/them) @museumqueer]

@StoriedStrands I've been thinking about this too, this is the first time I've been on here at all this week, and I miss the conversations!

[Adam Rizzo (he/him) @AdamRizzo5]

So proud of @PMA_Union workers, who presented @philamuseum Director, Sasha Suda, with 2,300+ signatures in support of workers at the museum, who have been denied their promised longevity pay. Do better @philamuseum!

[Margaret Middleton @magmidd]

Love these visual notes from my talk! Thank you @sheathescholar 💖
