Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

71% of our planet is ocean, but you wouldn’t know it from traditional maps. Shift your land-based perspective this Earth Week with a story about the Spilhaus Projection map and the WHOI oceanographer who created it: go.whoi.edu/spilhausmap

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 @maliarogers.bsky.social. Blew me away. maliarogers.bandcamp.com/track/sunlig...

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Hot take: most maps of the Black Death are outdated and misleading.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. #history #GISchat #cartography #map

Now landing in AFC member inboxes: The Alliance of Freelance Cartographers is calling upon its members to participate in Friday's general strike. Full text of the email: mailchi.mp/090a9ac7c273...

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. #envhist #envhum #gischat #cdnhist #histgeog

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. #gischat

It's #StarTrek 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.

Hugo Ikehara–Tsukayama, Sofia Ortega-Guerrero, and I wrote an article about our decisions and the production process behind the animated map of the Americas for the Met Museum's Michael C. Rockefeller Wing! #gischat #history #arthistory #gis #cartography #maps

Early colonial Yucatán. This map appears in "The Friar and the Maya: Diego de Landa and the Account of the Things of Yucatan" by @restall.bsky.social, Amara Solari, John F. Chuchiak, and Traci Ardren (2023, Univ. Press of Colorado). #mapmonday #GISchat #history

AGU put out a press release about our #AGU2024 presentations on the Bering Land Bridge (which, ICYMI is it a massive amount of exposed land during sea level lowstands!) Check out the teaser below and come see our posters if you are in town! PP23C-0564 to 0569 (Tuesday afternoon)

The Pacific. This map appears as a double-page frontispiece in "Migrant Ecologies: Environmental Histories of the Pacific World" (ed. Beattie, Jones, & Melillo, University of Hawai'i Press, 2022). #mapmonday #cartography #envhist #GISchat

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. #envhist #history #maps #gischat #cartography

I do maps for museums too! This map of early civilizations in Africa was on the wall at the @metmuseum.bsky.social last year, and I've got another 30-or-so maps going up at the Met when they finish the Rockefeller Wing renovations later this year! #maps #cartography #history #gischat

I also occasionally faff about in Blender, where I made this map of the solar system for @dagomardegroot.bsky.social and this wall map of a land parcel in New Mexico for a friend. #gischat #cartography #maps #geosky

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. #gischat #maps #cartography #geosky

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)! #gischat #cartography #maps
