I didn't see this already, so I went through my follow list and made a Starter Pack for Women+ in geo & EO - very broadly.

I'm reminded how lopsided the gender divide is still in our field when I get 1 woman follower for every 10 men. It's particularly noticeable right now.

From a few weeks ago, but big yikes 😱 If you have a non-profit might want to check if GoFundMe created a page for your org and ask them to remove it.

GoFundMe created 1.4M donation pages for nonprofits; some Bay Area organizations had no clue
"Why didn't they consult me?" said one man, who discovered unauthorized 'pre-made' GoFundMe pages for two of the organizations he helps to run.

All year, it felt like no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get more than 3 blogs out per month. Most of the time, only 2. In October, I finally got 4 blogs out! Sure, there were a couple of short ones, but I put the same love & care into those as well! Here's my October blogs 🧵

One of my customers had so much fun visiting the Map Center that he came back a few days later with a camera. He made this magnificent short documentary about my store, about me, and why I bother to do any of it at all.

It's really lovely and I hope you watch it!

It’s Friday and I’m in car line at my kids school. It’s only 98 degrees today.

I’ll share this from the DevSeed account next week but @zacdezgeo.github.io & I just wrapped the blog on building QGIS plugins and what we learned from updating the GEE-QGIS plugin.
