QGIS US – September 22nd 2026 EDT It's been a while since I've done a QGIS US meeting. Part of it was burnout and part I've been busy with work and life. So we're talking projections tomorrow. Proj is a bigger project than just QGIS - but it's nice to know how that project is moving along […]

"A [non-hypothetical] trans woman has a name, and a life, and teammates who like her." This is such a kind and powerful (and true!) thing to say and I love it.

Transfer fees for money sent home by international migrants were nearly as high as US foreign aid in 2023
A bar chart comparing two financial figures from 2023. On the left, a blue bar labeled "Global transaction costs for money sent home by international migrants" measures $51 billion. On the right, a taller teal bar labeled "Foreign aid from the United States" measures $66 billion. The chart title indicates that global migrant transfer fees nearly matched total U.S. foreign aid in 2023. The data source information notes the OECD from 2024 and the World Bank from 2025, and it explains that "foreign aid" refers to net official development assistance. The graphic has a "CC BY" copyright indication.

I was going to be doubly outraged that they used government funds to purchase my private data, but at least they only paid peanuts for it /s

I just saw the announcement of the schedule for UC Love Data Week and I love that so many of these workshops are for or applicable to spatial data. Partly I think it's just that spatial people are used to sharing and helping each other. uc-love-data-week.github.io/2025/calenda...

A favorite recent project: Peakscapes. I love the layered looks you get in the #mountains, and I always want to be able to name everything in view. These designs provide a cleaner, more idealized view of the landscape than a photo can. Are they #maps? Or geographic art? I'm not sure.

Just uninstalled X. What a relief. I haven't used it in a year and yet it was hanging out here on my phone. Looking forward to the community we will build here and across other spaces.

Veronica from the film Heather's, played by Wynona Rider. In this image she has shoulder length black hair, black top, a denim ruffle skirt, and black leggings/tights. She is standing in the wood smiling and looking relaxed and carefree.Veronica the End of Heather's.

She is not looking cute or put together. Her hair is a soot stained tangled mess. Her face is covered with ash and blood. She is smoking a cigarette and holding it to her lips with a hand as filthy as her face. She looks like she just survived a knock down drag out fight that ended with getting caught in an explosion.
