As you all know, I work at a museum and often have to address guests with a stern, sharp, elementary school teacher reprimand of “Sir!” or “Ma’am!” before advising them when they climb on platforms or touch the art. But I don’t want to misgender any NB guests. Saying “You!” is too broad and doesn’t get the same response. I am asking for suggestions in preparation for the upcoming event this weekend.
Mind, single syllable words are most effective.

Let me explain a thing. Listen. We have an interactive modeled on Dalis lobster phone in the new LUME exhibit. There are three lobster phones with cords that someone is gunna break. They are going to steal the lobster phone. Not this week but they will one day because people are as crazy as Dalí for making the damn lobster phone.
The original lobster phone:

Cons of working at museum: I don’t look outside for four hours and now there’s five inches of snow

A guest asked me if I knew where the painting of “fat ugly baby angels” was. Helpfully specifying that it was “really old like Renaissance stuff”.
My dude. That describes 80% of all Renaissance paintings. [but yeah I know the one you want. It’s actually Baroque and not on display]

I just woke up to Destiel News™ informing me of India becoming the first country to land on the lunar south pole of the moon with a budget lower than a goddamn hollywood film, like where else am I going to my news as clear cut and immediate as this? I love this app.

here's your fucking feedback @staff
list of problems the removal of icons causes:
i cant see my friends
ruins the sense of community
can't tell at a glance who's online right now and what they're interested in
literally cannot tell without scrolling back up who put a post on my dash if it has a single addition attached to it. or like. 2 paragraphs in the op.
i cant click my own icon at the top of the dash to quickly view my own blog
can't tell who someone used to be if they change their username
squashes the margins between the menu and posts, making the whole dash feel more cramped
ruins the quick visual cue of how long each post is and where it ends when you're trying to scroll past ones youve seen before
people put a lot of creativity and individuality into icons, and now i never see them
makes people who primarily reblog instead of make their own posts all but completely disappear
list of problems solved by removing icons:
?????
who the fuck was asking for this
ive never in my life seen a website or app that has profile pics forcibly HIDE them, so i guess you did it you made the dash unique again in the worst way
here's some more feedback: maybe when you run an a/b test you should, idk, actually have a feedback form people can fill out about it somewhere

Bro i’m reading up for the first time on how the smithsonian canceled the 2023 asian american literary festival a month in advance with zero notice apparently because they did a review of the program for “sensitive topics” and one of the events that got flagged was a panel of trans authors …. what the fuck. We live in hell

Took a date to my work because there are some benefits to being a museum professional. Like discount tickets and your supervisor subtly stalking your date because she’s excited for you.

If I ever choose to print at home when there is more than two A0 size pages, please whack me with a shovel.
There’s so many godsdamn pages to trim and tape together.
