Everyone's talking about impeachment and Clinton & Johnson as the only presidents ever impeached. But most people don't know WHY Johnson was impeached.

Really pleased to see MCN introduce our new Code of Conduct in time for #MCN2019 and hope it will help everyone feel welcome and safe both onsite and offsite. Thanks to @narwhalette and @desigonz for championing this effort!

Ahhh glad to hear you like it! 🤗
Gotta say @sebchan and @desigonz are killing it w their email newsletters (just got desi’s latest issue and found myself nodding like crazy). Anyone else in #musetech #musesocial publishing personal newsletters?
Anecdotally, I know that museum visitorship was higher than usual the days/weekend after the 2016 election. Does anyone have proof? Maybe an article you can point me to? #musetech #museumed #museumsthedayafter
