I seem to get these on the first guess or not at all. 😂 chartle.cc

I don't know that I was thinking with some of these guesses. 😂 chartle.cc

Anyway seems not great that so many people with large platforms or in actual positions of power appear to have entirely lost their minds

This is surprising. I would have expected single parents to be one of the dominant groups based on the media. Married, no kids are basically flat. Single, no kids seems to be the big change in households. Overall, married households went from 74% to 47%.

Literally every other small business in Huntsville was "Rocket City" something when I grew up there. This man will take credit for anything.

Trump says that because he’s moving Space Command to “a locale called Huntsville, Alabama” which will *now* be forever known as “Rocket City.” He’s so powerful with these names, the bib from the marathon my dad ran there in the early 1980s has had this brand new nickname magically appear on it.

I was doing research on a RI hurricane in 1938 (unnamed) for one of my maps and came across this article. The eye of the storm landed in New Haven, CT, but RI was on the dirty side and got hit with a the storm surge. The photos help put it in perspective. www.providencejournal.com/picture-gall...

I just registered for my first Nacis conference. Now, I need to finish my map. 🗺️

For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to start two more maps, as if the first one wasn't kicking my ass. This East TN tree cover map is for a GIS conference in a few weeks! #gis #gischat #cartography

Inspired by @imagineterrain.bsky.social recent maps using the FEMA NFIP dataset, I decided to make a map of my own. After hex binning the data, the spatial pattern more or less follows population centers, at least for the eastern portion of the US. I am still learning #QGIS! #GISChat #GIS

Some parts of the country see flood damage, over and over—I was wondering where. This series of maps shows the properties, covered under the National Flood Insurance Program, that have experienced repeated losses.

Making #QGIS progress. I am pretty happy with how these contours are turning out. I might try to make them a little smoother. However, they are much smoother than the initial run. But man, it is killing me not to jump back to #ArcPro and knock this map out. 😂

We seem hell bent on reliving the sins of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I wonder how long it will take for these corporate coins to become company scrip. The article is paywalled, but we have been trending in this direction for a while.

I am looking for some help to organize the @ametsoc.org Applied Climatology conference next year at #AMS2026 Houston. It's our 30th annual conference (literally the number of years to compute a NOAA climate normal!) If you're interested, send me a DM! annual.ametsoc.org/2026/program...

In one of my GIS DB courses at JHU, I made an animated map of PM2.5 concentrations sampled at major lower 48 cities using R, FME, and ArcPro. Around the summer, you can see the 2023 Canadian wildfire smoke roll through the Midwest and the Northeast. #gis #gischat #geosky

Welp! I did a thing. I messed around and graduated. Of course, I thought I took a bunch of pics, when in fact I did not. 😂

Hello #gischat! Does anyone know how to create spot elevations for peak contours in #QGIS? I made the ones in the screenshot in ArcGIS Pro using the Topo Production tools. I am in the process of migrating over to QGIS since I will be losing all of my ArcPro licenses by the end of the summer.

Welp, after putting in an embarrassing number of hours into Civ 5 (I was stuck at 9999 hrs for years), I managed to keep it off my new computer last fall. Last night, Civ 6 was on sale for $5, and I feel like I just ruined my life for $5. 😂

I mapped payday lenders in my county for my associates GIS capstone project. Many of them were located in middle and lower-middle income neighborhoods. This tracked with Baradaran's book, How The Other Half Banks. It is crazy that they can sue after trapping people in these predatory loans.

I am a big fan of these Wurman Dot style maps, even if I think they are borderline unreadable. 😅

Very cool! #gischat

This is a WILD list of data to disappear. I was braced for climate stuff, but not, like, shoreline maps and coastal bathymetry

I am going through the process of moving my GIS portfolio to a new site (partially to cancel my Adobe subs), and it is crazy how many different federal sources I used for this one map.

An imbalance I think about a lot these days is how much harder it is to build things than it is to destroy them

This is a great map. Population and geographic wise, Tennessee is a well balanced state! We figured this out last semester in my Intro to GIS course. I was hoping for something more dramatic for the students, lol.

Just sold a book about modern Tibet since 1947 to a Chinese student. She was so excited for forbidden knowledge. I'm trying to channel that rebellious spirit. There are allies in the fight against authoritarianism all over the world.

they think russia is big and powerful because it occupies a lot of space on a map

Need a last minute Valentine's day card? I got you covered like a NLCD map with this thread #gischat 👇

Susan Faludi talks about this in "Backlash" too: In the '80s tons of men were told 'we can't hire you because we have to hire a woman' even though companies weren't hiring very many women. Managers were just too chickenshit to tell men they weren't qualified.

I think I finally decompressed from the last semester to start making maps again. I have been thinking about ways to create a tree cover layer for one of my road maps. While I won't use this, I think it looks interesting. The colors are by tree type; the size is by tree cover pct. #gis #cartography

Years ago, I jokingly described my musical tastes as indiscriminatory. Now, the joke is on me. Also, how many minutes can there possibly be in a year? 😅

The Independent Map Artists now has a website: mapartists.org! It's a hub for you to find all sorts of posters, shirts, and other gifts for the map nerds in your life. Many of us sell in our own small shops, but we're stronger together. Spread the word!

Surely this will be less popular than the dog tweet, but I've also done some Cool Work during my Twitter hiatus. Including this story about wildfire smoke that features a scrolling animated smoke map www.axios.com/us-climate-c...

Yosemite Valley in lines. This was more challenging to do; probably needs more fiddling around so consider this a WIP. Feedback welcome, as always. #ggplot2 adventures, an #rstats tale

#30DayMapChallenge Day 15: My data Quick fun project: I was curious if the spare coins I had would tell much about me - where i'm from, where i live, and where I’ve traveled... So I stacked all the coins on my table and overlaid a European map, here's what it showed!

If you can't already tell, I'm a tad obsessed with this right now. Here's Mount Fuji, drawn entirely with lines. In an 80s CRT (that's cathode ray tube, mind you) aesthetic. And fret not, rayshader will return with Day 12. An #rstats tale
