To head off the reply guys telling me this won’t happen in our lifetimes, let me say:

It won’t happen in our lifetimes.
An excerpt from the first Conspiracy of Cartographers blog post. RIP Tom Stoppard.

Damn.

Tom was, all round, a scholar and a gent. My dad envied his quietly perfect artist’s wardrobe and treasured his friendship. As did I.

Travel well. I hope the wine’s okay.
Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88
A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter

I finally did it--I now have the new #Seattle #Petrofuture folded map for sale online.

Up until now, the only place to get one was at my recent exhibits at the Georgetown Steam Plant. If you missed those, now you can get one of your own!

The lines of artificial coastal developments might be neat and straight but in reality, they are fragmenting ecosystems and disrupting hydrodynamics.

Much love to @versharma.bsky.social, who did the lord’s work at @teenvogue.com.

What a loss for our industry.

So upset about @teenvogue.com being absorbed into Vogue.

Teen Vogue’s political reporting has often been sharper than other mainstream outlets.

Now there will be no political staffers left.

All that Christian Jesus, hundreds of years of unchecked wealth and power

And still scared of women, black people, trans people, immigrants, rainbow sidewalks, vaccines?

Yeah. Loser shit.

This superb isochrone of travel time by rail in 1882 France has always been one of the most popular prints on the site – and with good reason!

Day 2: Lines – The Secret Life of Streams 💧

UV light reveals piped streams.

Early Wellington was shaped by streams flowing to the harbour. As the city grew, many were piped underground, hidden from sight but still running beneath our feet.

Maps have always both granted power and threatened it, depending on who controls the data, the scale and the narrative.
