When D.C. residents have to lobby Congress to stop it from doing things that could be harmful to the city, they’re told to contact their… oh, right. No senators or voting representatives.

The 51st News need 142 new paid members to keep things going. Totally worth it!

As a #cartographer for over 20 years the thing I always have to consult a doc for is the proper DEM resolution for the shaded relief I want to make! Here is a handy relief resolution explainer from Tom Patterson to keep your 🏔️ from looking like 🥦 www.shadedrelief.com/web_relief/

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

I feel like we should start making global hemispheres the mobile default, these look lovely (and clear!)

The NYT asked me to write an op-ed on Musk and the Treasury and then took a pass. I hope it will still get read.

In the meantime, NHGIS (https://www.nhgis.org/) has much of the data you'll need, and will remain functional. NHGIS has the latest ACS data and Census data back to 1790 along with Census boundary files. You can support NHGIS here: makingagift.umn.edu/...

Remember that our tax dollars paid for this data. It is our data. The government is the people. Every dataset removed is theft. #gischat

Have been playing Debí Tirar Más Fotos non-stop for the past day but kept wondering why it seemed to finish so quickly or randomly skipping songs? Finally looked at the track-list and now I understand! Almost makes me want to turn 'explicit restrictions' off of our family smart speaker 🤣

Not the prettiest, but a good map for scale of just how large LA is. I had no idea either.

We're mapping the fires in Los Angeles. Wind + fire is a wicked combination, flashbacks to Paradise and Lahaina. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

I’m curious how much federal funding he thinks the ACLU receives (it’s none).

It took longer than planned, but I also had a third child, sold/bought/moved houses, and started two new jobs in between. Pre-orders are available for Great Lakes in 50 Maps! beltpublishing.com/products/gre...

It's true, most of the talks from #NACIS2024 can now be found online, along with 100s of videos from years past! The thing I Iove most about the #geo community is the willingness to share! And there is no better example than the offerings from @nacis.bsky.social!

Finally catching up on @charli_xcx #bratbutitscompletelydifferent and can't help but hear bits of Yes' Owner of a Lonely Heart in Mean girls ft. Julian Casablancas 🎶 . I for one love when songs loosely borrow from past music, how is it even possible to be original these days?!
