I'd gone to this museum probably 5-6 times and every time it was amazing. Grateful to have the opportunity but I'm so saddened that it'll be closing for good. I wish Gates, Bezos, or any rich tech billionaire would've stepped in and tried to buy it out.
There was a free speech fight in the courts about the right for women two wear swimsuits, many of them bikinis, while serving coffee in the Seattle area. Since then the popularized alliterative term 'bikini barista' has stuck to refer to all servers that sell hot drinks while in swimwear.
I really hope they're calling for divestments. I love the sentiment of "We demand a free Palestine" but unfortunately won't accomplish much as realistically that's unattainable from their current situation.
Protesting for university and highschool divestments from Israel/those involved is a much better use of their power in a way that can make long-term strides towards a truly freev Palestine / non terroristic Israel.
