Reading "Musing on a Queer Museum of Failure" by @onqueercurating.bsky.social and it's giving vibes: "If, to paraphrase Audre Lorde, 'the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house', is it possible to redesign the house?"

My PhD extension was approved last November, but now my funding has stopped, and I’ve been logged out of the university system. Independent scholar mode it is! Not ideal, but the dissertation journey continues.

Museums against tyranny
Narva Museum’s Maria Smorzhevskikh-Smirnova hung a massive ‘Putin, a war criminal’ banner facing Russia.
Now the Estonian museum director got an arrest warrant, her take? ‘It’s an honor! Been expecting this since 2023.’
Who said smaller states/museums can’t fight back?

Last chapter revised and submitted: 18,000 words trimmed to 15,000. It’s the first chapter I wrote, reflecting my early struggles—balancing case details with theory, amplifying interviewee voices while finding my own.

The reality is, I do feel the financial challenges are real. Balancing my creative and academic work with financial stability feels overwhelming at times.
For those who’ve navigated this transition, what helped you find stability while pursuing meaningful work? Any advice is appreciated 👀

Dear researchers in decolonisation and museum studies,
I am working on a syllabus on decolonial museology. Do you have any recommendations? Any references, especially relating to Asian-Pacific context or digital fields, are super welcomed!!!

Dear scholars working on colonialism and those who are interested,
Are there useful texts or books that offer critical overview about the colonial history and relation between Indonesia and Europe, not limited to the Dutch?
Thanks for any leads 🤓

I think the success of this New Year’s crying event in TW isn’t just about love for Vive L’Amour (though I adore it!) or Yang Kuei-mei’s amazing performance. It’s about creating a space to cry, reflect, or feel dejected—so liberating when the world tells you to celebrate with cheers and countdowns!
