"Each year on this day, we remember the lives of all those who died in the Ottoman-era Armenian genocide and recommit ourselves to preventing such an atrocity from ever again occurring," President Biden said in a statement on Saturday. https://t.co/I10ctQ14mi

@ninawaste Do my sock drawer (athletic and day-to-day) and sock basket (fluffy and woolen) ring any bells? You found them very amusing and excessive when you visited! 😹 Then you gifted me a 5-pack of socks to add to my collection (they go in the drawer - I wear them with boots).

Kind words of welcome from my new team at PRE! Excited to expand my skills and capacities with them, and also share their knowledge and resources with my network. Together we can continue to explore all the ways impact can be achieved! https://t.co/51hadQjN9j

But would I still be available for one-off projects?"

Small, woman-owned, person with a non-Anglo name/ person of Middle Eastern decent. That's been a thing to sit with... Especially when I learn after the fact of writing/awarding.

I will be donating $1M to assist their efforts on the ground and invite you to join me. Whether you are helping with just raising awareness and posting on social media or donating just $1, every bit helps.

Let’s make this our most successful fundraiser ever.

Thank you so much

The @ArmeniaFund is directly helping those that have been impacted during this critical time with humanitarian aid through food, shelter, and medical care.

[Kim Kardashian @KimKardashian]

I’m so honored to be part of today’s global effort to support the @ArmeniaFund. I’ve been speaking out about the current situation in Armenia and Artsakh and having conversations with so many others to bring further awareness to the crisis that we cannot allow to advance.

Leading a webinar w/small OR museums about covid-mindful data practices tomorrow. Feels important to acknowledge wildfires. Aside from "don't become a burden" w/regards to when to launch studies and being compassionate in lines of inquiry - anything else I should include?

[Taline Kuyumjian @talinetweets]

@KateHG4 Thank you for that kindness! I'm smiling big and feeling extra motivated by your words. Hope you are doing well finding ways to stay engaged, too. :)

[Taline Kuyumjian @talinetweets]

For the first time in 5+ months I'm doing work that might actually be compensated (nothing is definitive yet). What a feeling! Also, how draining. I got used to my "lounge about the house all day" lifestyle. #consulting #museumwork #delayedindefinitely #openforbusiness

[Taline Kuyumjian @talinetweets]

@musehappy @US_IMLS Haha, yes emerging from social media hibernation to share some (hopefully) good news. Things are well on my end, if not a little slower. Hope you're doing well, finding joy, finding creativity, and being the radiant human that you are! :)

[Taline Kuyumjian @talinetweets]

Friends and colleagues in #Museums - Have you heard about this new #funding opportunity through @US_IMLS ? They're offering multi-year #grants of varying sizes to help you respond to and recover from COVID-19. Have a look, dream big, and submit! https://t.co/ZsUSq5WhRb
