“some people won’t listen, they refuse 2 learn, I don’t think that their feelings about loving Columbus should b privileged over genuine damage, especially to our children, that we feel as Indigenous people by going gen after gen where Columbus is held as some hero” —@mahtowin1

@mahtowin1 @CSORG @ItaliansforIPD @lowlowtide Thank you so much for your work in this -- your framing, your questions, your feedback, and your VOICE made the piece infinitely stronger than anything I could have written alone.

@lowlowtide 👏👏👏 on your research on Boston's Columbus Park. I'm working on an article on the topic w/ @CSORG -- I'd love to be connected. DM?

@davidnunez Great point! Would someone who isn't at least digitally literate be able to effectively lead a museum in 2030? (Can they lead one today?) it's not even being able to DO, it's about being able to understand, think, and listen to the conversation.

Poignant speech in Kreyol by hotel union rep. Low wages, excessive work load, no holiday pay…. To me it’s more evidence of America’s pervasive and growing inequity; we need a higher minimum wage nationally, universal healthcare, and union empowerment. #nema2018 #nema100

[Cindric Livingstone @heyshaelyn]

Glad space and time are being held to hear from hotel workers representing @UNITEHERE217 during the #NEMA2018 keynote session. Workers endure difficult conditions for low pay while trying to negotiate a fair contract.

[Phillippa Pitts @PhillippaPitts]

So glad it's helpful @prairietrawler! It's amazing to see what visitors are capable of when we set them up for success. I'd love to hear if it sparks anything new for your team!

At conferences I always leave with a nugget. To promote using concept maps (esp S generated), from Jeff’s daughter: “I can never get lost on my own map.” #AssessmentLiteracy

[Phillippa Pitts @PhillippaPitts]

Love this image by @barbosca -- that lightbulb is just perfect! Thanks so much for joining our #VisualThinking session. #AssessmentLiteracy https://t.co/q9qDUcT7Cx

@osearcoid Thank you for being there--it was such a joy to be in a room of intentional, dedicated educators. Hope to see you and your students at the PMA soon!

Our goal is to think of #access the way we think of safety, think about inclusion & accessibility the way we think of fire hazards #nema2017

[Phillippa Pitts @PhillippaPitts]

Origami, puppet shows, soap carving, and JFK at #a11y session. Accessibility isn't just important, it's fun, creative work. #nema2017

[Phillippa Pitts @PhillippaPitts]

@anniebe3 I have some! Would be happy to share if you DM me your email address.

Pragmatic 1st step to welcoming #Deaf communities: sensitivity training for staff. It's best if its in person, but online exists. #NEMA2017
