Thanks to @happymuseum.bsky.social for inviting NMDC to join the conversation around ethical use of social media. It was great to talk with @themerl.bsky.social and @ourmoh.bsky.social and sector colleagues today. Lots of inspiration from museums in our sector.
Coming up this Thursday - join us in an open conversation exploring ethical use of social media for museums.

Feels more relevant and urgent by the day....
Stormy Socials - speaking with courage and clarity

Work for a museum and use social media? Concerned about the information disorder sweeping the social media eco-system?

Join our open conversation with @ourmoh.bsky.social exploring ethical use of social media for museums.
