Excellent first week of my new exhibition. Had some great conversations with visitors. Had a lengthy chat today about the layers and layers of accessibility we had to build in - including making our VR piece accessible to vision impaired users. It's groundbreaking work that deserves attention.

Last week, I went to go visit @karlantmercer.bsky.social 's "At the End of History," at @dovermuseum.bsky.social and had a fantastic day out. The VR portion of the exhibit is like nothing I've ever experienced before. Highly urge everyone to see this exhibit before it closes. #DisHist

I'm currently with Dr Wade Berger trying to get a group of disabled museum educators to the ASTC conference. Both of us are currently jobless due to higher education cuts, but feel it's important to keep advancing this research anyways. Thank you very much for any and all help! gofund.me/54f249fc
