Long time coming but it's a relief this is over. Very grateful to PCS Liverpool Museums branch committee for getting us here. Four months of picket lines, through wet, windy waterfront days - and yet the comradeship & camaraderie made it a positive experience. Up the workers! ✊🪧

Yesterday, we were able to inform the employer that our members had voted with a large majority to accept their latest offer. We are glad this dispute is now concluded with long-term benefits to our members as well as a needed cost-of-living payment. Solidarity! ✊️

Horrible news. RIP Super Kev.

Busy, productive week. Represented International Slavery Museum at 'Troubled relationships: Church and society in dealing with the colonial legacy' in Würzburg. Managed some good museuming either side of the conference. Decolonial walking tour of Berlin's African Quarter probably my highlight.

Here's me moonlighting as a columnist on my trip to Gelsenkirchen and Bochum last week 🚝🚋🇩🇪⚽: motion-mag.com/articles/fans-….

Off yer pop, dickhead.

BBC pundits chatting "get rid of extra time" shite. What about Spain-Germany just hours ago? How much better was Merino's goal than whoever 'wins' this? Problem isn't tiredness but negativity from players & managers. Neither side tried to play well let alone force a win.#PORFRA

Nice piece about colleagues' work Walker Art Gallery. 'Carving Out Truths' has introduced new artworks and perspectives to the sculpture gallery, and really livened up the place in the process. Well worth a trip to William Brown St! theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

Caught up with the highlights and well-earned tributes on a melancholic day. Still think he should be in the team but really glad he got a decent send off. #GOAT🐐 #Jimmy 🌹

Our thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of Professor Trevor Burnard. A foremost expert on transatlantic slavery, his pioneering work and generosity as a scholar will be deeply missed.

Really enjoyed HistoryLab+ conference. Lots of interesting papers and International Slavery Museum curators got useful feedback about our ideas for displaying histories of slavery and abolition. Thanks to all the organisers and Wilberforce Institute for hosting two stimulating days.

Loved 'The Valleys' exhibition Amgueddfa Cymru | Museum Wales. Beautiful array of artworks, thoughtfully, lovingly curated and co-curated: the section by Dowlais Visual Art Group was outstanding. The whole thing really felt 'of' South Wales.** ( **from my non-native p-o-v, admittedly.)

This was a great lecture. Really enjoyed listening to Fiona Compton speak and tie together some many different threads. Looking forward to the remembrance walk tomorrow.

Very pleased to receive my copy of In Slavery's Wake. The book accompanies Smithsonian’s NMAAHC's forthcoming touring exhibition and a global curatorial project. Cool to share pages with International Slavery Museum colleagues and top scholars from around the world. nmaahc.si.edu/explore/exhibi…
