Justin O'Connor's talk at #museums2025 was preaching to the choir - exponential growth is impossible, culture has a different value and our lack of GDP value leaves us politically powerless.

But it's the world we're in. Almost every govt will only listen to economic arguments.

I'm on my way to Cardiff for #Museums2025. Please say hello. Please clap at my talk.

cannot believe the amount of tiktok creators who just film themselves walk into churches and get thousands of likes

I'm doing a talk tomorrow on how content could be a lot more spontaneous, if only we lost our chains (and we know what the fuck we're talking about)

I can't stress enough how random taste is on social media. People will watch and like the weirdest shit, so long as it's clear and semi obvious what you're looking at. Just film everything, talk about everything. Stick it up. See what happens.

Why does every US politician sound like a LinkedIn post

Tammy Duckworth @duckworth.senate.gov · 4d

Trump is federalizing the National Guard in Illinois against our will—

An affront to American values and an extreme abuse of our military.

He’s terrorizing citizens in attempt to expand his power and punish opponents.

That’s just not who we are.

It’s authoritarian.

was looking back at old tweets for a thing and I forgot I liked this one

A tweet where someone asks The Museum of English Rural Life how old rural England fought the cold, with the museum replying: die.

Also a posh accent would help

I wish I'd known when I still had time and money to go abroad I could have filmed any old historic shit with a caption like 'girls will be like I need this and it's the oldest apothecary in Milan' and I'd be a tiktok star with a book deal by now

It's getting to the point where train expenses to deliver 1-day talks or workshops is like 1/3 or 1/2 of the fee for the actual work

I've been fucking about on TikTok just to keep Up To Date and somehow managed to get 26k views on a video, reinforcing my belief that social media strategy can be boiled down to: keep fucking about until it works
