@romaissaa_b @nytimes Congrats @romaissaa_b! Very proud of you. Well deserved!

[Radical Books Collective @radicalbooks.bsky.social @WARSCAPES]

An urgent wake-up call by @sarahjilani who argues that when it comes to museums, changing the terms of the current debate is imperative.

Excited to be part of this latest issue of #transasiaphotography in which I write about how Zionist funds produced and distributed visual material in a way that was meant to resonate with American frontier mythologies.

[Duke University Press @DukePress]

The newest issue of "Trans Asia Photography" includes contributions that center visual practices in Tamil Nadu, Papua, North Korea, South Korea, India, and ethnic Chinese enclaves in North America. Read the Open-Source journal for free here: https://t.co/SANGBvTETZ

Hot off the press🔥☄️

Decolonize Self-Care by @AlysonKSpurgas and Zoe Meleo-Erwin is here! It exposes a greedy, billion-dollar industry that adversely impacts community care, feminist movements, gender and health discourses.

We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

The Western museum has become a battleground, writes @shimritlee the author of Decolonize Museums from @orbooks In this reading list, Lee helps us navigate the extensive scholars on the struggle over and within museums.

Chills! Organizing gets the goods ✊🏼

[Philly Cultural Workers United @PhillyCWU]

19th day of our historic strike: @PMA_Union has reached a tentative agreement with @philamuseum management!! There were 5 issues going into the strike. We got all 5. Management claimed they wouldn’t move. They did. Say it with us: UNITED WE FIGHT UNITED WE WIN

[Senator Nikil Saval @SenatorSaval]

Leadership and management at @philamuseum refuse to meet with their striking workers. Instead, they're trying to trick their most dedicated members and supporters into crossing the picket line.

I'll be there at 3pm. Let's show @philamuseum that Philly is a union town. #PMAStrike

I was a guest on this fun podcast where I got to discuss what repatriation struggles have to do with an ancient bust found in a Goodwill store in Texas. Give it a listen!

[Lauren Barry @laurenbarry91]
