I like maps, GIS, data visualization, graphic design, hiking, writing, and hanging out in nature. I wrote a book, GIS for Dummies (2nd Edition).

In contrast to my usual dull weekends of late, this past weekend I lost an hour out of my day and stubbed my toe.

Now it's Monday and I'm too tired to think and I have a black&blue, swollen toe.

Meanwhile the lunatics are still running the asylum and killing innocent peopleโ€”for what exactly?

War Crimes.

I just want to live long enough to see all these criminals go to jail. And "not that white-collar resort prison. No, no, no. They're going to federal POUND ME IN THE ASS prison."

Western Regional Survey Conference

On this #InternationalWomensDay I'm proud to say that, by my count, I'm one of 4 women speaking at the upcoming Western Regional Survey Conference plseducation.org

I always joke that the best thing about #Surveyor conferences is there's never a line at the Ladies' bathroom.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

โ€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleโ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.โ€

To be fair... it's stupid spelling. why can't it be simple F-e-n-i-x?

I have made some truly embarrassing typos in my time. I think the worst was "Pubic Transportation" in the map title! ๐Ÿคฃ

I sure hope that was the worst I'll ever do, but I still have a little life left in me.

People often assume survivors are exaggerating.

In my experience, the opposite is usually true. Survivors soften the edges of what happened. They leave things out. They make it smaller just to be able to say it.

Listen carefully to survivors. The truth is often already in their words.

Noem is out largely due to massive public activism, especially in MN, Democrats expressing increasing interest in impeachment and investigations, and resulting media coverage.

Keep pushing. These people are not invincible or immune from public opinion.

It's not about corruption, it's about making Trumpie look bad.
