It’s the 21st century. How is Walt Disney World still getting away with blatantly appropriating Native American & First Nations’ art & culture? (Yes, I know that it’s supposed to be modeled after National Parks.) Would appreciate any good readings out there on the subject!

Also refuse to call hurricanes natural disasters as they are integral to Florida, we are the ones insisting on getting in their way.

St. Johns County has issued mandatory evacuation orders due to Hurricane Milton. Visit sjcfl.us/hurricane for more info. #MYSJCFL

When you had to evacuate a storm but end up working remote at the university you work for 🙃

As a Floridian, I don't know why I don't know this by now: Who in #Florida's government is in charge of the state's hurricane response? I can't imagine that's completely the governor's job or county officials. Craig Pittman do you know?

EVERY Floridian should read this thread...

Can’t believe #SEMC2024 starts tomorrow! Can’t wait to see everyone & to visit Baton Rouge for the 1st time! I’ll be co-presenting on deaccessioning on Wed. morning, so make sure to say hi!

Well yall I think it’s safe to say Baton Rouge beats St. Augustine when it comes to old Governor’s Houses. #itweetmuseums #semc2024

Found a little bit of Florida in Louisiana at LSU Museum of Art. #itweetmuseums #semc2024

Come on St Augustine, we need to up our holiday lights game like LSU’s Rural Life Museum for Nights of Lights. #itweetmuseums #semc2024

Capitol Garden Museum in Baton Rouge filled my Southern Gothic needs just in time for Halloween #semc2024 #itweetmuseums

November 2 is the 104th anniversary of the largest event of election violence in US history- the Ocoee Massacre. Right here in Orange County. Please vote. #HistoryMatters

Don't forget to kick off Native American Heritage Month with us in Smathers Room 100 this Nov 1st!

Happy Halloween from the Smathers Libraries! 🎃

I've been seeing Hughes' poem all over my social feed today, which reminds me so much of my favorite Zora Neale Hurston quote: "I do not weep at the world, I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife."

Spent last week avoiding the news by focusing on pre-contact ceramics for a new #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth blog post: governorshouselibrary.wordpress.com/2024/11/04/nor…

And only grudging credit given to “student journalists.” and The New York Times wasn’t gracious enough to name The Alligator.

Chronicling America Historic Newspapers has 30 Native American newspaper titles including 7500+ issues from 10 different states, making it an invaluable resource to research #NativeAmerican history this #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth.

I've been thinking about why I'm still on Twitter when so many others are jumping ship, and it occurred to me that one reason is I live in Florida, so I'm kind of used to bad guys being in charge and having to fight my little fight from within.

Happy New Year, Gators! This year is the Centennial of the Smathers Libraries, and to kick things off, let's go back to Summer 1925 when the new College Library (present-day Smathers Library) recently opened with >40,000 books. #Smathers100 Learn more: newspapers.uflib.ufl.edu/UF00028291/007…
