As a curator, all these people saying museum are expensive…the one I work at is $3 to enter. But there are also plenty of free museums in my area. If you are saying museums are expensive you need to open your eyes to the world of museums beyond big institutional ones. There are so many small, historical houses, historical parks, little art galleries, out there that are free or have small fees. There are also museums that have free or discounted days. There are museums that offer student discounts, senior discounts, military discounts, museums that offer free or discounts if you have SNAP benefits.
Almost all museum memberships have reciprocal benefits. It’s a little more up front, but if you become a member at one museum (It’s usually like $50 for a year) you get a membership card and there’s usually a list of other museums that card will get you into for free.
Also you can always sign up to be a volunteer. Then you can look at the stuff all the time for free. I got my start 10 years ago as a volunteer, fell in love and made it my career.
first they made it mandatory to log in everywhere. create an account to download your free template Log in to access resource give us your email nowwwww. Now the humble password is being killed too. open your magic email link! type your 6 digit code that we texted you because we required your email and your phone number! we’re gonna call you and whisper a code sweetly in your ear so you can log in to your account. yes it has a password but you cant use that anymore. okay? poob is gonna call you. now poob is just gonna call you.
The worst part is you don’t even need to forget your password for something like that to happen. Last year I lost access to a bunch of stuff I had in my old email account (from back when I still used hotmail) because it was still linked to my old phone number, and one day it randomly detected that I was trying to log in from a different computer than usual (even tho it was literally the same computer) and wanted me to verify my identity using my phone. And the only way to recover your account if you no longer have access to the phone number linked to it is by filling a form which asks you information such as the subject line of the most recent emails you sent using that account (who the hell remembers that lmao), and every time I’ve tried to fill it it tells me the information I provided is not enough to verify my identity.
Like again it pisses me off because the issue wasn’t even forgetting my password. I still have my fucking password, it was just that one day it randomly decided I was trying to log in from a different location and the only way it’ll let me log in after that is using my phone number.
