JeremyUntil folks start flipping tables, nothing is going to truly change in museums, non-profits, and the research and evaluation field.It sucks, but maybe all these cuts to IMLS, NSF, NEA, NEH, and everything else force people to act, to take a principled stand.<a href="https://glammr.us/tags/RealEvalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RealEvalTalk</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/museums" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#museums</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/glam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glam</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/nonprofits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonprofits</a>

JeremyI have some evaluation colleagues that are asking, how can we support our clients in collaborators? How can we support nonprofits?Instead, I'm asking where has their support been for me? Why do I owe them more free labor? More broadly, where has their support been for the principles on their own damn web pages?<a href="https://glammr.us/tags/museum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#museum</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/nonprofits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonprofits</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/glam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glam</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/RealEvalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RealEvalTalk</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/principles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#principles</a>

JeremyTechnical debt is a pervasive and unacknowledged disease in so many fields I find myself in, and the bill has come due.Just in time for funding cuts and layoffs.

JeremySo, you know how there's been this whole museums are not neutral movement for damn near a decade? I hope museum executives who resisted that movement - who resisted acknowledging the reality of that statement and what it asks of them and their organizations - now realize the cost of their inaction, the cost of clinging to their status quo.I can't tell you how often (my) reports were ignored because of the risk or because change wasn't convenient. <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/MuseumsAreNotNeutral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MuseumsAreNotNeutral</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/RealEvalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RealEvalTalk</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/FAFO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FAFO</a>

JeremyShow up. Call your representatives. Go to protests. Be loud. Especially white people with all our comforts, privilege, and power. If you don't do that, well, I don't want to hear you talk about equity or cultural responsiveness or justice. Just shut up because it's just noise.I'm not reporting my neighbors or denying that they exist. They deserve safety, love, and happiness just like anyone.2/2<a href="https://glammr.us/tags/RealEvalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RealEvalTalk</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/equity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#equity</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/HoosierMast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HoosierMast</a>

JeremyYou want to do equitable evaluation and research? You know how that means doing it for someone other than yourself or your organization's pretty sounding mission statement? This is for a purpose beyond you or whoever is paying you. That purpose is equity itself, right?So when your state - like mine - starts introducing hate bills (HB 1041 and HB 1531) that endanger your neighbors and fight AGAINST equity and create a culture of fear1/2<a href="https://glammr.us/tags/equity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#equity</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/RealEvalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RealEvalTalk</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/HoosierMast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HoosierMast</a>

JeremyLol AEAThis sums it up. You could say it's colloquial, but it's really backed up by their practices. Besides other stuff, the AEA diversity, equity, and inclusion group seems to have been ignored, even before Jan 2025.I really got angry later when they asked age, gender, zip code, race in addition to all the years in the field and other demographics. Because they're entitled to my data, I guess? (lol no)Triangulation can gtfo. Along with AEA.

Diligence JonesHard to go through the self evaluation fan dance as a leader when what you feel the most is 'fuck it.'<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RealEvalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RealEvalTalk</a>
