If this profoundly broken world has you down, maybe burst into tears listening to some really good music instead. This is just a profound, beautiful meditation from the nexus of love, grief, and time from

My child deserves to live in a better, kinder, more rational world than this. I find that notion especially heartbreaking on days like today.

Is there some kind of prize for scoring the epidemiological hat-trick of back-to-back flu, covid, and pneumonia? Asking for a friend with a 2yo in daycare. (And who is on his fourth course of antibiotics in three months.)

Hot take: most maps of the Black Death are outdated and misleading. I made a better one.

Y'all, having a toddler is no joke. They are just adorable little epidemiological hurricanes. In the last five weeks, I have had pneumonia (twice), strep throat, a skin infection, and viral pinkeye. I spent Christmas bedridden with a 40 degree fever. It's just relentless.

If someone clicked on you in an RTS, what would your voice lines be? “GYAH FUCK quit sneaking up on me!” “If you could see the muscle that rolls my eyes it’d be a six pack.” “Look man, we’re all just doing our best.” “[cough] sorry [cough] daughter in daycare [pukes]” “TO THE BARRICADES!”

It was great fun to make this animation for NiCHE! They were my first environmental history community back in my U of T days and it was a delight and privilege to return their kindness with a nifty map.

I really should have a totally separate billing item for called “Making me map the Balkans before 2008”. Charge will be $8,000 and a trip to my therapist.

It's

Day. I can't overstate how important this franchise was to me growing up and how relevant it remains to me today. But the fact that the weasels at Paramount are profiting from its utopian vision of the future makes my skin crawl. It's also mostly kept me away from the new shows.

I'm currently working on an atlas of environmental history with a few historian colleagues of mine. It won't be ready for a few years, but here's a sneak peek.

I do maps for museums too! This map of early civilizations in Africa was on the wall at the

I also occasionally faff about in Blender, where I made this map of the solar system for

I also make maps for print publications, most recently a huge set of 30 different maps for an upcoming collection on climate history from Oxford University Press.

Intro time! I'm a mapmaker who works mostly on historical cartography, but occasionally does more contemporary stuff (like this map of ESNET6 I made for the US Department of Energy a few years back)!
