TIL the term "baconmander" from the comments

Transfer fees for money sent home by international migrants were nearly as high as US foreign aid in 2023

I was going to be doubly outraged that they used government funds to purchase my private data, but at least they only paid peanuts for it /s

There’s an app for that (or a database anyone) bc everyday Americans are heroes sometimes :-)

So excited about this! Digging out my art supplies...

The 2025 NACIS Annual Meeting will be in Louisville, KY, Oct 15-18! We invite you to submit abstract proposals for presentations in the Main Conference or Practical Cartography Day or to organize specialty themed sessions, discussion panels, workshops and field trips. Submissions due May 15, 2025.

Freelance cartographers, please participate!

I just saw the announcement of the schedule for UC Love Data Week and I love that so many of these workshops are for or applicable to spatial data. Partly I think it's just that spatial people are used to sharing and helping each other. uc-love-data-week.github.io/2025/calenda...

A favorite recent project: Peakscapes. I love the layered looks you get in the #mountains, and I always want to be able to name everything in view. These designs provide a cleaner, more idealized view of the landscape than a photo can. Are they #maps? Or geographic art? I'm not sure.

Hi #gischat My supervisor had not heard of GIS day so they cancelled their afternoon meeting to come to a talk and check it out! I hope you also had a mappy #gisday ...and have a happy #postgisday tomorrow!

Just uninstalled X. What a relief. I haven't used it in a year and yet it was hanging out here on my phone. Looking forward to the community we will build here and across other spaces.

UC GIS Week is a free online conference put on by the University of California campuses. It's open to everyone. Check it out! #maptimeDavis is hosting the UC Davis @openstreetmap.bsky.social Humanitarian Street Map map-a-thon next Friday! #gischat #geosky

A friend posted this elsewhere and it's probably the most heartbreaking example of "perfect is the enemy of not even actually good but fuck we have to take what we can actually get right now" you'll see today znetwork.org/znetarticle/...

Psst! Can I tell you a secret? #gischat is Wednesday! At 10:00 am pacific time (or any time after that) on Wednesdays look for a question post using the hashtag. Just reply with your answer and include the hashtag. Then engage with other posts. Simple. Fun. Make new buddies.

A guide to middle age time perception: the other day = sometime in the last two years last year = five years ago ten years ago = twenty five years ago fifteen years ago = sometime between sophomore year in HS through their early 20s

What is the name for this kind of coup?

How many #foss4gna folks do we have here on Bsky? Lemme know. Mostly I want to know if I should make a FOSS4GNA account here or just post from my account. Thoughts? Say hi if you're an open source geospatial person. #gischat #geosky
