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Hot take: most maps of the Black Death are outdated and misleading.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

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.

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

A map entitled "The Province of Yucatán in the Early Colonial Period" showing the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico in the seventeenth century. The extent of Spanish control is demarcated as covering the northeastern third of the Peninsula, with both the interior and eastern coast labeled as beyond Spanish colonial influence. The provincial capital of Mérida and the Spanish towns of Campeche in the southwest and Valladolid in the east are labeled, as are prominent Maya towns called "cabeceras," through which the Spanish extended their influence into indigenous society and territory. Major roads criss-cross the region under Spanish control linking major towns and cabeceras together and connecting them to port cities dotted along the coast. The following approximate political regions are prominently: Sahcabchén (extreme southwest), Champotón (far southwest, north of Sahcabchén), Camino Real Alto and Camino Real Bajo (north of Champotón and following the highway from Campeche to Mérida along the western coast), Sierra (along a ridge that extends from northwest to southeast across much of the Peninsula), Costa (the northern central coastal region), Beneficios Bajos (between Sierra and Costa, essentially in the central region of the area under Spanish control), Dzonot (a small district east of Costa and largely uninhabited), Tizimín (in the northeast, east of Costa and Dzonot), Chancenote (the extreme northeastern part of peninsula under Spanish control), Chancenote (south of Tizímin and north of Valladolid), Valladolid (in the central eastern region, named after the eponymous Spanish town), Beneficios altos (south of Valladolid and southeast of Beneficios Bajos), and Bacalar (in the extreme southeast, and abandoned in around 1650). A large uncolonized region called the "Montaña" or Borderlands is also labeled, beginning south of Sierra and extending southwards off the map.

Bering Bog Bridge? New research rewrites key crossing’s landscape

New research finds Bering Land Bridge was boggy with meandering rivers, not an arid steppe as previously thought

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

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
