Looking forward to seeing you more! I have not yet started posting much, it's a little quiet over here, but having more mappy people around will be a boost. Definitely miss old mappy Twitter.

Woohoo 💪💪 congrats and keep going!

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.

Transfer fees for money sent home by international migrants were nearly as high as US foreign aid in 2023

Do you need any plums? Our tree is literally cracking under the weight of the fruit.

I try to do concurrently; I try to roll out a field collection procedure when the field collection starts, and that's a good chunk of the metadata (what does this field mean and how do you use it). Once collection starts, it's out of your hands and you're on to the next thing.

Very cool! I like the circle around the grid of the city

I am thinking about the same! I used to tow a bike trailer but my back doesn't like it anymore and the ankle biters that rode in it now eat a trunk full of groceries a week. Seems like a good option for around town.

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

The Data Analyst Tracking the Immigrants Disappeared by ICE Data analyst Danielle Harlow is keeping a record of people detained as part of the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts.

There’s an app for that (or a database anyone) bc everyday Americans are heroes sometimes :-)

You can see the ophiolite sequence from that book, and pillow basalts, near Monticello Dam on Hwy 128, east of Winters, CA, in Yolo County.

They are the worst. Happened to me once on a round of golf, was up all night soaking my legs in a cold bath. Ended up with prescription hydrocortisone, which I highly recommend.

Well I'm in awe! Desk party for sure!

That's terrific news! Glad you found something so quickly 😊 (-Naomi)

That is excellent news! Congratulations 🎉 🎉

Me too!

Statistics and Machine Learning are weird and scary!

Remember Pumpernik’s? The last of the originals closed years ago. But there was a revival A reopened Jewish deli in Hialeah has brought back home-made corned beef on rye back to Miami-Dade. And lots of memories of a once-common site in South Florida.

Cheesecake, or really anything, from Pumpernik's deli in Hallendale, FL. And my grandma's blintzes.

Had a blast, thanks for leading a great workshop with #maptimeDavis

So excited about this! Digging out my art supplies...

I did use it as a kick in the pants to finally learn QGIS, and I'm glad I did, I really like Q. And I now manage an Esri Enterprise system so yeah, lots of ArcPro. You really will like Pro so much better than Map. Msg me if you need a boost! #gischat

Is it possible to enlist one of the many high school students graduating from the Spanish immersion/dual immersion program, as a summer internship?

I found some honest to goodness INFO files the other day and since I actually knew what they were I think I'm at frame 4

I'm so sorry to hear 😥 what a loss for everyone. I hope a new opportunity opens up for you.

The 2025 NACIS Annual Meeting will be in Louisville, KY, Oct 15-18! We invite you to submit abstract proposals for presentations in the Main Conference or Practical Cartography Day or to organize specialty themed sessions, discussion panels, workshops and field trips. Submissions due May 15, 2025.

Freelance cartographers, please participate!

I love how this went from, let's take it easy and let people sit around and blab about their favorite dataset, to, run a workshop for all UC. I'm sure you will be great!

This is so amazing 😍 thanks!

It was a real treat 😊

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.
