Small museum educator. Everyone has a passion; it is the responsibility of educators to find and nurture that passion.

@oldenoughtosay I read the original article and I wouldn't have cared if the person had been polka-dotted. STILL would have be horrified by the response of the parent!

@BlaireMoskowitz Geeze! This is very obviously someone who has not been taught to manage people AT all!! I am loving my fall intern, who is one of those "just check people in" staff! She is awesome and excited to learn! I may not have a job for her after but will do my best to set her up well!

@CabinetofCurios @sierra_vrd I heard about in in the EdCom mentor/mentee program this past week and they acted like it was old news. Very odd!

[Elizabeth Bostelman @smallmuseumedu]

@CabinetofCurios @sierra_vrd Agreed! And everyone in each of the networks act like this was all known information! Can't find it anywhere on AMM!

[Elizabeth Bostelman @smallmuseumedu]

@fair_jobs Oh absolutely that role should be paid! Managing people and keeping them accountable AND helping marketing. Yes, definitely a paid role. And depending on the number of volunteers, full time with benefits.

@sierra_vrd Geeze Louise!! And depending on what they are asking a "Coordinator" to do.....cause I have seen the ENTIRE gamut....I would assume $45k at the MINIMUM!!

#SnowDay #WFH and living in your parents' basement while you finish working on the house you bought means coming upstairs to make lunch, and your dad is like, "I was just about to text you and see if you wanted some MacNCheese for lunch." Absolutely I do! #win

My partner pulled off the most wholesome, archaeologically adjacent, bamboozling act of kindness and I had to share it. 🧵

When I was in Rome this summer, somehow my trowel ended up in my carry-on. I was mortified when it was discovered in the TSA line, because I knew (1/?)

[Elizabeth Bostelman @smallmuseumedu]

@CabinetofCurios 100% because you're just saying out loud what every is thinking!

I've decided if I win Mega Millions, I'm going to go to all my favorite museums and endow the salaries of all the education departments and whatever is left over I'd call @nempnetwork and figure out how to endow an AMAZING paid intern program! #Museums #PayYourInterns #LivingWage
