Thank you to everyone who attending my NJ State Food Insecurity Index talk!!! Looking forward to collaboration and seeing what your organization does with our framework!

Special thanks to my dear friends and colleagues who attending the talk; you were such a boost and I am so grateful #esriuc2025
Why is it at the end of every semester I experience a really intense crash? It's like somewhere between adrenaline crash and con crash.

Always dramatic mood drop, even though I should be breathing a sigh of relief because I get free time back... anyone else?

When did "getting lost in the stacks" turn from childhood rainy weekends going on a literary adventure in the library to trying to figure out where in the pipeline and software suite this data's parent table went awry?

Wrecked. I probably spent like 100 hours writing over the past few weeks at least. Doesn't even count the time doing analytics. I'm not even sure if I have the spoons to edit this.

But still, final paper done, figures added, and feeling accomplished if not exhausted. ✌️

Was going to spend this afternoon brushing up on some code and inserting some map figures into a report but instead I am designated pillow after being gone for a week

Back from the Esri conference! More on that soon. I slept for 24 hours straight once getting home, wowie! Hopefully I'll be a person again tomorrow 🤞🐕‍🦺

I'll be presenting the NJ Food Insecurity Index I developed during “Analyzing Food Insecurity & Pediatric Health Through GIS Mapping” at #EsriUC!

Join me July 17, 2:30–3:30 PM PDT, Pacific Ballroom Salon 23. Let’s talk GIS, public health & equity. DM if you’ll be in San Diego! #GIS #GISChat #PSU

here's tips for making a dog safe quesadilla:

Plain tortillas are usually fine but check the ingredients

Use low salt cheese, mozzarella and cottage cheese is usually okay in limited quantities

Use unseasoned cooked meat with the fat drained

Not for dogs w/ lipid/pancreas issues

Back story: last October I adopted a very elderly very special needs dog. He's getting blood work for kidney function tomorrow and he NEEDS to eat before 18 hour fast but was refusing all day to have dry or wet food. He perked up when I had a burrito tonight:

Include disabled people in resistance efforts.

We are skilled at fighting systems of oppression. We fight against ableism & eugenics every day.

We’re masters at contingency and emergency planning because we have to be to survive.

Wear masks, make meetings accessible & inclusive.

Wait have we not established #MapPromptMonday here??? I'd prefer to not be reliant posting on that other place. Anyone else interested in booting up Devin Lea's awesome initiative here?

Can you just... Apply to academic journals? Like if I did a critical lit review on techniques in a case study with cited recommendations for future applicability and methodology .... What is my next step?

Just got back from an amazing time! I finally got to meet my cohort and faculty in person and it was everything I hoped for. We nerded out about spatial science, research, etc late into the night. Presenting at the symposium -cool, but tbh? The highlight was feeling like I found my people

I just non ironically said "I do art to support my science habit" during my talk at an academic conference oops.

Did you know aerial photography was once done by pigeons? No, seriously. In the early 1900s, Julius Neubronner strapped tiny cameras to trained homing pigeons and let them capture photos midflight.

I’ve been diving into these images with a cartographer’s eye and they’re weirdly beautiful.
