Yesterday I wore a skirt b/c I finished up in the warehouse. Naturally I was sent back to the warehouse. Nothing screams #museumprofessional like a woman in steel toed shoes, Xmas themed toe socks & a skirt in a warehouse! #museumlife

Happy #SharkWeek This week I got to touch the River Museum’s newest animal ambassadors! The Epaulette Sharks are both adorable and surprisingly soft. Those are words I never thought I would use to describe a shark.

The Vagina Museum is trying to build a museum and pay their employees a living wage. Sadly living wages are not common in the #museum field, let’s change that by helping the the Vagina Museum pay their workers a living wage! #museumlife #museumcareers crowdfunder.co.uk/vaginamuseum

Dear friends of the Vagina Museum They are currently £290,853 short of their £300,000. So let’s destygmatize the vagina! Let’s get this museum built & pay its staff a living wage! #museumlife #museumcareers crowdfunder.co.uk/vaginamuseum

Dear friends of the Vagina Museum I did a little math & realized that in order to collect their $ they will have to raise an average of £12,537 a day for the next 23 days. Let’s make this happen! #allornothing #museumlife #sharingiscaring crowdfunder.co.uk/vaginamuseum

Friends of the Vagina Museum they’ve raised £14,131 & need another £285,869 in order to collect it. There are only 22 days left so tell your friends, neighbors, strangers, everyone & don’t forget to donate! #allornothing #museum #sharingiscaring crowdfunder.co.uk/vaginamuseum/c…

The Mississippi River has swallowed a gazebo! I’m grateful for the flood wall that protects my home & my workplace on the Port of Dubuque. I’m thankful for the people who maintain & fund this critical piece of infrastructure! #infrastructureissexy #arounddubuque

This isn’t a drill-we only have 12 days to raise £105,251 for the Vagina Museum The fundraiser is #AllOrNothing so they get nothing if we don’t meet the goal They need our help so tell everyone you meet & shout it from the streets #sharingiscaring crowdfunder.co.uk/vaginamuseum

Hey Vulvamaniacs The Vagina Museum has only raised £24,824/£130,000. It’s #AllOrNothing - they 11 days to raise £105,176 or they won’t get any £ at all. #MoneyTalks & I’m saying that I support the #vaginamuseum ‘s mission & vision. What’s your $ saying? bit.ly/2uRpGok

For anyone who needs a pick me up here is a starfish hugging a toy fish! #fishfriends #starfishhugs #aquariumlife

Guess who gets to share all of the cool stuff that didn’t make it into the River Museums latest exhibit? I’ll give you a hint, she worked on Innovative Dubuque and this post!

I really hope that the Collections staff involved got the next day off or spa gift cards to help them distress after this

I’m not a basketball fan but this makes me happy that the Raptors won! Also, it’s a solid object label. A request for next time, please include a “signed” deed of gift #onlyintoronto #museumlife #MuseumDocumentation

It never occurred to me that spacesuits were made by hand. Hand sewing a textile takes a lot of skill so only the most talented could make a suit that’s meant to keep a human alive in space. Hazel Fellows & her team were clearly the best seamstresses on the planet & off it!

There are three things that are critical to my happiness: 1 for Gareth Reynolds & Reverend Dave Anthony to play this game 2 Jose the Cat/Professor Dog fan art 3 find a full time museum job

Eavesdropping on visitors brings me such joy! #museums #artinspires #guestssaythedarndestthings

A thoughtful outline of how to enact actual change!

Today I had to consult both a narwhal horn & a Lisa Frank unicorn to accurately describe an object #museumlife #collmanagement

#Museums come in every shape, size & cover every topic under the sun. I’m proud to say that I work in a #museum & privileged to enjoy the #museumlife. So I want to wish every person who has ever visited or worked in a museum a happy #InternationalMuseumDay!

Dot the Sea Turtle may not be able to use her hind legs & has what scientist’s call Bubble Butt Syndrome but she doesn’t let that bother her. Dot is the Queen of the Gulf Tank & allows the other fish to bask in the light of her glory. All hail Queen Dot! #WorldTurtleDay
