It’s White House Correspondents’ Weekend in DC. I attended @beehiiv.com x Shinola’s Celebration of Journalism today (after five straight days of job interviews). I’m home now cos your girl is dead inside🤣 Super grateful for everything this week! PS: My newsletter ChitChart is hosted in Beehiiv!

The latest ChitChart is out! ✨💖 chitchart.beehiiv.com/p/a-little-m...

Does anyone in DC know what’s going on? It’s happening right now.

This story started with a copy of "Maps on Vinyl" from The Map Center.

“This is what I like about mapping — you can exercise your creativity but there’s a lot of technical skill.“ @hannahdormido.bsky.social in her Open Visualization Academy course on mapping with QGIS: openvisualizationacademy.org/courses/cart...

The Dormidots Tiny Atlas is officially live. 🗺️✨ 51 hand-drawn ACEO map prints featuring all 50 states + Washington DC, created as part of the Dormidots collection. These are available at www.studio6101.com

A little late update here: A month ago, I was laid off from The Washington Post, along with hundreds of my colleagues. I’m incredibly proud of the reporting and visual storytelling I’ve done over the past five years, alongside some of the best journalists in the industry.

Ready for spring and for cherry blossoms to make an appearance! In the meantime I'll be enjoying these beautiful photographs by @hannahdormido.bsky.social www.instagram.com/p/DKn0mT3Oly... ...and reading about illustrated cherry blossom maps by @moriartymaps.com moriartynaps.org/cherry/

Just days ago, @hannahdormido.bsky.social and I explained how large Trump's proposed arch near Arlington Cemetery would be, and how it would change DC's skyline. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

@hannahdormido.bsky.social Chit charts host, Dormidots creator, NACIS president herself! You cannot top her cartographic, design prowess. Hit CMD+Y on her artboards if you DARE. Her important and seamless map work is impossible to recreate. hannahdormido.com

New at @washingtonpost.com: Trump wants to build a *250-ft-tall arch*, for America’s 250th anniversary The structure would tower over nearby memorials — changing DC’s skyline and blocking views of the Lincoln Memorial It’s also spooking experts who say it’s just too big

I spoke with the art critic, Catesby Leigh, who proposed original idea — a 60-ft temporary arch. Trump has enlarged it and plans to make it permanent, alarming Leigh and others who say it threatens DC vista and history @hannahdormido.bsky.social @timmeko.bsky.social show how views would change

Our instructors include @hannahdormido.bsky.social @frank.computer Hiram Henriquez @laurenfklein.bsky.social , @kanarinka.bsky.social Joy Victor, Ray Balise, @lmelgar.bsky.social @rodolfoalmd.nucleo.jor.br @ebertini.bsky.social and many others who will be producing content in 2026 and 2027 7/x

The Open Visualization Academy is live!!! I’ve always been passionate about skill-sharing cos a lot of my skills I learned from others who were gracious enough to do videos and tutorials. I hope this helps folks out there on their data visualization journey! Thank you for this, @albertocairo.com!

Come with me to Lander, Wyo. to meet Bill, Lee and Barb. They were supposed to be retired from the Forest Service. But they're back as volunteers — driving 100s of miles a week, cleaning 5 bathrooms a day — determined to protect forests Trump abandoned. wapo.st/4r4727z

Northern lights over DC, taken in Arlington, VA. Visible only through my camera, though! Very faint pink and green hues to the naked eye, nut what a visual treat. This made my day! ✨

1/ Mapped the spread of invasive mussels for @washingtonpost.com. Collaborated with @timmeko.bsky.social on the basemap. Also sketched the mussels to go with the story. Edited by Tim Meko. Not quite the Dormidots style, but kind of. I'll thread the artwork that I showed Tim for inspo on this map.

A little portrait I made to celebrate this corpse flower’s bloom. ✨

3. @hannahdormido.bsky.social and Mariana Sotomayor with a explainer about how the House GOP "five families" can affect trump's agenda www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This upcoming Friday, I'll be selling some map prints out of a backyard in Capitol Hill. The only subway maps you'll find to include hamsters, and they'll be available here!

When I’m not working, I like to create art. This recent piece is a renter-friendly mural using an old shower curtain because your girl didn’t have a large canvas on hand. I initially thought of making a huge map, but it felt like the space wanted flowers. 🌼💐🌻

Today seems like a fine day to share (with a free link!) this @washingtonpost.com story I wrote about why your coffee is about to get more expensive. Take some sips with me🧵 wapo.st/41KAnZ9 [1/9]

New Washington Post reporting: US intelligence reports spanning the Biden and Trump admins indicate Israel is likely to attempt a strike on Iran’s nuclear program in the coming months. US intel suggests it would set back the program weeks or months. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I’m back on YouTube! I’ll share life beyond the byline & behind the maps, my work and others’ work that I admire, and hopefully restart making QGIS/mapping tutorials again. I’m creating my own happy place online. Come hang out and let me know if you have tutorial/feature requests! bit.ly/3QBA65D

Making this map brought me joy. And now I miss Oz, too. I wonder when I’ll ever be able to visit again. Thank you, Alex!

Breaking news: President Donald Trump is preparing an executive order aimed at eventually closing the Education Department and, in the short term, dismantling it from within, according to three people briefed on its contents.

Sheinbaum said this morning the troops she'd send to the border would be on top of personnel already there. Trump agreed to crack down on U.S. guns flowing south. The $900 million border plan that saved Canada today, in contrast, was announced in December www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
