Lawsuits by major national organizations have been filed to fight grant cancellations at IMLS and Dept of Ed. Why has nothing been filed to fight cancellations at NEH, most especially the state humanities councils? Letters objecting to the cancellations aren't enough. www.salon.com/2025/04/21/t...

I’m not into how many of them there are now, but final destination one and two were some of the only horror movies I think that ever actually got to me.

They’re about anxiety, which I have in abundance. The whole premise of these movies is essentially spiraling, and “what if” thinking gone wild.

I saw Sinners last night and I have a lot of thoughts about it.

That movie is so gorgeous. There was not a single line in it that didn’t have a purpose.
Telling this nuanced story about race relations in America through music history and vampires scratched every brain squiggle I have.

On the anniversary of Paul Revere's Ride, I want to plug a great, entirely free game, MissionUS, in which you play a young printer's apprentice trying to decide whether to support Loyalists or Revolutionaries in 1770s Boston. It was, of course, an #NEH project. www.mission-us.org/games/for-cr...
For Crown or Colony? - MissionUS
It’s 1770. You’re Nat Wheeler, a 14-year-old apprentice in Boston. When fighting starts, what will you do?

I love being a woman who works in historic sites. 🙃

My brother in Christ, if you’re loudly bragging about being a Trump supporter and then in the same breath you’re bitching that you have to get groceries at Dollar Tree because money is tight…..

Bro….how do I tell you this?

Ooooof I feel you buddy, I don’t want to get up either!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you cannot say that you're a libertarian and also support the actions of the Trump administration.

Do you eat Oreos while you brush your teeth, too? It makes no sense.

We were hoping we wouldn't have to enter this space, but here we are. Our agency is currently and quietly being dismantled.

Groups across the country have received letters notifying them that their grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities have been canceled, raising alarms about serious harm to museums, historical sites, and a wide range of community projects.

This was an interesting conversation, and I really like @daviddylanthomas.bsky.social ‘s approach to telling this story and connecting it to the present through a horror lens.

Check this out, and follow his making of White Meat!

Remember kids, if you tank the economy on purpose and make it hard to eat….then control the news and schools so that you can tell people what to think…

They'll lap it up like hungry dogs and do whatever you want them to do if it means they'll get fed.

The attack continues and is actually gaining traction.

Humanities programs are directly tied to intellectualism, education, and self expression.
The goal is unquestioning, hive mind mentality to make bad ideas more acceptable and palatable to the public.

We have seen this before.

I am highly caffeinated at work today and I’m sure my coworkers hate it, but I’m ready to take over for Cory Booker and yap for 25 hours straight.

Watching the changes happening in my industry because of the rise of this regime makes me sick to my stomach. Funding is being cut, and censorship is in.

I won’t be backing down or going along with any of it….Especially not in my non-affiliated work.

Follow me.

IMLS is now effectively being disbanded. All staffers that run the biggest federal funding programs that make your museums, libraries, and historic sites run….. are on leave effective today.

I really hope that my fellow park rangers, museum workers, and library workers know that what we do is active resistance at this point.

Please don’t stop recommending and writing. Keep fighting. Get bolder about it, even.
When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Very excited to be giving a gallery talk that’s inherently feminist and gay in a beautiful space today.

Even though the industry itself really gets on my last nerve sometimes…I really do love what I do for a living.

Zero successful days.

I got a post removed in a subreddit today because in one of three pictures I had on a Motörhead shirt.

“You’re just saying Marjorie Green is stupid because she has a GED and you libs only listen to liberal arts degrees!!!”

No.
I have a GED.
Stupid is as stupid does.
I’m saying she’s stupid because it’s the truth.
