A sorta odd request. I’m looking for an artistic cartographer or an illustrator to commission to make a cute, useful street map of an actually existing village. Searching the internet produces a bunch of fantasy map specialists and AI slop, which isn’t quite it. Know anyone? (This is paid, ofc.)

the important thing, as you go about your day, is to be sure to speak over & down to at least one woman online. this could take the shape of correcting a correct statement, restating a joke to “improve” it, or literalizing a figurative statement & taking issue with it. now: go forth, guys, & reply.

I loved the Pecock SNB and I watched all 26 episodes (except the one that was on too early for some random reason and the one with Roger Clemens bc ew) And I really like it. Jason Benetti is the best and I hope they don’t change anything for next season. (Except don’t have Roger Clemens on bc ew.)

The piece I spoke of here is “Folding the Mississippi (1938)” by Maya Lin in 2019. It’s really hard to capture in photography but it’s hundreds of marbles mapping out the water flow after the levees broke in Katrina. You stand there and it looms over you, impossibly chaotic but deliberate.

What so many visitors to New Orleans get wrong is the “no no THIS is how you say ‘New Orleans’” conversation. The truth is it changes by neighborhood! And the patterns go back a long way. Chances are the way you already say it is correct in one of the zip codes. Except “Nawlins”. That’s BS.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
