A chance to take a moment, to slow down, and reflect together on the emotional skills we are all building - for change with(in) digital, at a time of precarity and turbulence. No better guide than @vargasl, and no better space than #mcn2021

I saw someone i'm connected with on here saying something really interesting about museum shops recently and now I cannot remember for the life of me who it was! Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

How crushing to see university staff attacked as “work shy” in this article after the Herculean efforts of the last 18 months & on the eve of what will be a second frantic clearing round. And why so vital to “get back to normal” after so much positive innovation?
University students are being conned.
If Universities are going to behave in this way, the @officestudents and @educationgovuk must take action to ensure that students get refunds on their fees.

As someone that grew up reading @newscientist, I was so thrilled to be selected as a speaker for their event on "Creating a sustainable future".
Ironically, I found out that @bp_plc are a main sponsor and are speaking on the main stage.
I have no choice but to withdraw.
Ahead of #COP26, @newscientist are hosting an event on "Creating a sustainable future" 🙂
...sponsored by @bp_plc! 😠
❌ BP is STILL investing in new oil and gas.
❌ BP is NOT on a pathway to 1.5C.
❌ BP isn't "creating a sustainble future".

We’d prefer not to air our linens in public (unless we’re showing you how vaginal acidity is normal). But we need to say something, and we need to ask your help. The pandemic has been rough for the entire museum sector. Now the Vagina Museum is at risk of becoming homeless.
