Thank you so much!!!! Was yours the Tennessee one?! Loved it!!! I am so excited to get the print copy. I had learned about GeoHipster because a colleague gifted a copy in 2023 and have enjoyed it since!

Happy GIS Day! 🌍❣️

Felt fitting that the theme of the #30DayMapChallenge was projections today! I want to dive into the math behind these sometime, it’s fascinating!!

I read in the news that the Pack Fire in California has burned over 3,000 acres since Thursday. Sadly fitting for today's theme!

Since I'm learning MapLibre, I decided to re-create the map I saw using open-source tools!

In 2024, 46.9% of net electricity generated in the EU came from renewable energy sources (Eurostat). In the first half of 2025, renewable energy has outpaced coal as the primary source of electricity globally, indicating a shift in our reliance on fossil fuels (NPR). 🌞

Yes and no! I made the chart originally in Google Sheets/Datawrapper. I then decided to draw the bars manually with rectangles in the print layout to change the style a bit, and just because I, for some reason, wanted all of the final design to be in QGIS for this one πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜„

Javier JimΓ©nez Shaw gave a great talk yesterday at #FOSS4Ge called β€œMercator is your friend,” in defense of cartographers’ most hated map projection. Today, Mercator is also my grocery store. πŸ˜†πŸ˜

Had a great convo yesterday at #FOSS4GEurope about how newcomers can start contributing to open source: it’s all about fixing the bugs that are bothering you in the libraries or tools you already use, or adding features you wish they had! I really liked that perspective πŸ™‚
