This quote popped into my feed in a different context, but is so relevant to my work about museum disposal. In my final book edits today, I've focussed on future timelines and possibilities for how museum practice could be. Don't let fear win; be hopeful. An important message beyond museum work.

One of my research interests is museum loss and letting go.
But updating our museum snatch / salvage list has tested my personal limits today. It's not a question of what to save, but what to let go? Such hard decisions.
