Decolonisation is a thoughtful process that requires deep engagement and intention. It's hard work and takes time. One easy, actionable thing you can do today? Yoink all the pith helmets out of the children's exhibits.

I do this all the time. I also email work home to do and usually forget to do it. #WorkLifeBalance is getting better the older I get.

Yep, I remember her BS justification vividly. Will we ever see consequences for the lying at the highest levels of our government? Prolly not. Lying is the new normal.
Susan Collins still insists that Gorsuch & Kavanaugh misled (fooled) her. Look, I’m not a lawyer, but I played one in a sketch, & I can tell you that I (and everyone) knew that the Supreme Court can overturn precedent. Oh, and that they were lying. #RoeVsWade

To the right wing officeholders who today are cheering the Supreme Court’s ruling: GET YOUR IRON BOOT OFF WOMEN’S NECKS!

This virtual exhibit and its teacher lesson plans explore the history of US housing discrimination and residential segregation from the 1890s to today.

A thread to spend some time with @AAMers.
So I hope we're learning some much-needed hard lessons this weekend at #AAM2022 I hope we're learning about our white supremacy culture & behaviors embedded in the ways we operate. And most importantly, I hope we're learning equitable operations as counter. 🧵27/

In celebration of #TransDayofVisibilty, we honor Greer Lankton (1958-1996), an artist known for her figurative sculptures. Her work celebrated those like her, who walked the edge of sexual and gender conformity. Read: https://t.co/wEjFN17ZaS

I am in love with our new exhibit!!!
Edgewise: Finding a Voice in a World Made for Men, is now on view in Springfield. It amplifies the voices of formidable women, queer, and non-binary people who've found ways to get a word in edgewise in a male-centric society. Press release: https://t.co/sjA0nM20JE
