Have you ever noticed a peculiar line of text on your elevator's certificate of inspection? A line of text in ... Comic Sans? If you have, you aren't alone! I tracked down the answer to how this goofy font found its way onto an official city document. www.wbez.org/curious-city...
wbez.org
Why does Chicago use Comic Sans on some elevator inspection certificates?
The Comic Sans font often signals levity. Its use has concerned Chicagoans who noticed it on city elevator inspection certificates.

Can't say my NY resolution is to spend more time on social media, but I did want to pop over and share my latest article! authors.elsevier.com/a/1mR1L_3sEQ... We know that redlined communities are less green, but is it getting better or worse? 🧵1/5 #AcademicSky #Redlining #EnviroJustice #GIS

If you, like me, are looking for an edifying distraction from the news, I recommend taking a scroll through the Geo Women+ starter pack: go.bsky.app/Ay1iTTe I just learned about it (thanks @morganahcrowley.bsky.social!) and had a lovely scroll this morning to add more women to my feed 💙

Wealth in the U.S. is increasing concentrated in the hands of the few. My work with @dyligent.bsky.social & @joelsuss.bsky.social shows *where* the wealth is, which cities are the most unequal and how trends have evolved. My new piece for @theconversation.com brings you up to speed. bit.ly/40gqvoZ

Soaring wealth inequality has remade the map of American prosperity
The wealthiest areas in the US are almost 7 times richer than the poorest regions, a disparity that has nearly doubled since 1960.

Lots of research shows that #trees aren't distributed equally across #urban landscapes, but what are the drivers of tree inequality? In our #newarticle, we look at how *land use* mediates the distribution of trees. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kCz05m5d8... Read on for our findings: 🧵 1/8
