So glad that the shut down is...paused. [roll eyes]

May your roll for charisma be a natural 20

Just got my shipping alert! Yay!

Howling our good wishes to you Hazel!

Did you manually crank the window down to share that?

For sure. At a minimum think it is good that your articulation lends Grosvenor some credibility.😀

Ther is also this counterpoint:

"I think that the constant study of maps is apt to disturb men’s reasoning powers"
Lord Salisbury
(Discussing Britain's colonization of Africa in 1890)

This is just to say
That I have borrowed your symbolic forms
For the rivers and the glaciers
That you had in your layer
They were cool and delicious

It was your original thought. I don't critique dolphin shape because of prior ichthyosaur form. I believe what you are saying is true. A career mapper said it similarly. All maps work off a language system of sign and symbol. Some maps are epic poetictales, other haiku. A few emotionally grab us.

“A map is the greatest of all epic poems. Its lines and colors show the realization of great dreams.” ~ Gilbert H. Grosvenor, Editor of National Geographic (1903- 1954)

My surfing picture looks like an awkward circus bear, wet in trunks, fully owning that everyone is desperately avoiding his line.

I'm having a "managing accounts on AGOL vs Enterprise portal via Active Directory and single sign on" so their leadership team can see different dashboards kind of day.

Day 6: Dimensions #30DayMapChallenge

Each air-dry clay hexagon was hand-crafted during a Critical Signals workshop on exploring risk and resilience. Each participant shaped their area based on an aerial photograph & when pieced together, the city takes form: imperfect, dimensional, and human.

Great approach and goal. My good friend Jack and I used drawing as part of our nature Journaling and citizen science work. So much joy and skill. See if any of it resonates for you.

Glad to tickle the joy.
If only we collected jerseys too :-)

Absolutely, travel for past two years at new job not approved, next year looks good. Care of parent and family have me on a short leash this year. Has next site been decided yet? It would be great to take in the magic of a new place again with ya!

Blocked. Let me guess "pedestrian got almost killed on a sidewalk by a parked bike" or "avid cyclist preaching the high-vis clothes and eye contact as alternative to protected bike lines"

Ugh, we need to keep Steve Pearce out of that BLM position.
He'll treat our national resources like a $100 bill he found on a Friday night in downtown Las Vegas.

I sure hope @chrisjkemp.bsky.social sees this and makes the connection

Copper has my #OreCup art vote not just because of all the lovely colours it makes but also the copper tlakwa made by peoples of the northwest coast of North America, storied objects exchanged and ritualistically damaged/destroyed for political and cermonial reasons. easteast.world/posts/117

and thanks to @hannahdormido.bsky.social joining on this adventure, such a nice fall night.

Glad to see my tribe out here vibe-ing on the good stuff

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I will wave as I make my way to C gates. Just saw a kid ride by on a scooter built into his purple carryon bag!

Is that SeaTac?
