Two businesses I need in my life yesterday

1️⃣ Binge Boxes™ — mystery bundles for screen junkies: “one more episode?” coins, watchlist trackers, popcorn candles, cult-film stickers 🎬
2️⃣ Female horror villain only merch — Carrie mugs, Samara tees, Annie Wilkes totes. Girls of gore > final girl bore 🔪

Am I wrong for thinking that there should be a higher salary for this Curator of Diverse Perspectives role @thackraymuseum.bsky.social..?

Perspective from sat at a table at a panel for Beyond the Bassline panel at Museums Association conference 2024. In the background are two large projector screens in the top left and right showing slides from the Beyond the Bassline exhibition, with a table of four people below them in the middle on the stage who are lit by yellow-hued spotlights. They are in front of a black wall with small lights coming through like stars behind them. In the top of the image are the lighting and ventilation riggings, which have neon purple lighting, facing to the back of the room and downward. In the midsection of the image, and moving towards the photographer are round tables with black table cloths, the backs of black chairs around the tables, and the backs of people’s heads who are attending the panel.

So captivated by not only with the content of the Beyond the Bassline project/exhibition, but how the panel conversation is flowing with incredible facilitation by Miles Greenwood @museumsassociation.bsky.social #Museums2024

Photograph taken out of a train carriage window, looking out onto York railway station. With a glass arched ceiling and LNER train carriages in the background. In the foreground are access ramps for trains on the left, with someone in shadow sat on a bench next to them, the main platform with a decorative columned archway, and a three-seat pale metal bench facing the camera to the right. In the very foreground are the words ‘MIND THE STEP’ backwards, so the could be read the right way round for someone walking towards the train, in bold yellow paint on the floor, and a bold yellow ‘safety’ line running right-left in the floor in the very bottom of the image.
