Does anyone have recommendations for a beginner video on mutual aid? Like one appropriate for college freshmen?

What can you do about the assault on USAID? Share this far and wide. Do your part! Please do retweet 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Alaska lawmakers have overwhelmingly approved a resolution urging President Trump to abandon his plans to rename the continent’s largest mountain from Denali back to Mount McKinley. #ISTANDWITHDENALI

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

once again, @theonion.com for the win

Map of the Day: Denali, the highest peak North America at 20,310 feet (6,190 m). Centuries ago, the Koyukon people gave it the name which means ‘Great One.’ Popular among climbers, the mountain is within Denali National Park.

Our coalition has grown to 30,000 federal employees. Details regarding new guidance will be distributed. For those not in our coalition, here is a public message: hide any online content that is public, document everything you witness or experience, and keep daily notes at home with dates and times.

I hate Word. Anyone have recommendations for alternatives that aren't so difficult to format documents in?

I'm experimenting with putting my hachures on new media. Now I've also got mugs & vinyl decals. If you want to support my art, tell your mountain-loving friends! And weirdly enough, the designs all still seem to refer to the highest peak in North America as "Denali." terrainlines.etsy.com

@sciam.bsky.social republished my piece on toponyms. Everyone wants to know "Can the president just do that?" Only if we let him. Rule 1 - Do not obey in advance. Google should be ashamed. He can direct federal employees, but the rest of us don't have to obey. @timothysnyder.bsky.social

I wrote this explainer about toponyms. Toponyms matter. The disturbing part is the executive order clearly states that anyone who doesn't go along with his ideas should be fired. tinyurl.com/s5v4hwxa via @ConversationUS

If someone trains an AI model, who owns the trained model? Does someone who the underlying algorithms?

I'm mapping community gardens in the Twin Cities as part of a larger effort to map and quantify urban ag. Let me know what I'm missing!

This summer I would like to attend academic conferences but zipping across the country/world on a plane multiple times a year seems irresponsible. I'm planning to buy a rail pass for 30 days and then travel across the US attending conferences. $499 for 10 "legs" of travel in 30 days. Thoughts?

Who is working on training "deep learning" in ArcGIS Pro for specific landuses? Lets be friends! #remotesensing #geoAI #gischat #gis

So this morning I discovered that my university website now comes with an AI chat assistant! Woohoo!

I always just teach myself new stuff. But are online certificates or even testing and certifications worth the trouble/$$$? Thoughts? This would be in data science or GIS. Or is a portfolio of project better evidence of what you can do? #gis #gischat #datascience #datavisualization #cartography

Is there a way in qgis to do summarized spatial join? Like count up all the ______ in each state or county? Going back and forth between ESRI and qgis is exhausting. #gischat #gis #qgis

How is it that I'm not following all the cartographers, GIS folks, and data visualization folks yet? How many of us are there???

I'm definitely into type 3. I'm certain that if we just had a large dataset, we could find some novel patterns in there. 😆

Love this! #edusky #geography @andypday.bsky.social @benking01.bsky.social

Day 14 "A World Map" #30daymapchhallenge.

Is there no editing posts here? Already I have typos!

Hello all! Who is participating in the #30DayMapChallenge? I can attests that @datawrapper.bsky.social is a highly easy to use tool!
