Northern lights over DC, taken in Arlington, VA. Visible only through my camera, though! Very faint pink and green hues to the naked eye, nut what a visual treat. This made my day! ✨

2/ This was the inspo for the mussels map, though this isn't really new to me. My high school teachers saw these patterns before everyone else every time they would check my notebooks because your girl doodles during class. In my defense, it helps me focus! 😂

1/ Mapped the spread of invasive mussels for @washingtonpost.com. Collaborated with @timmeko.bsky.social on the basemap. Also sketched the mussels to go with the story. Edited by Tim Meko.

Not quite the Dormidots style, but kind of. I'll thread the artwork that I showed Tim for inspo on this map.

A little portrait I made to celebrate this corpse flower’s bloom. ✨

When I’m not working, I like to create art. This recent piece is a renter-friendly mural using an old shower curtain because your girl didn’t have a large canvas on hand. I initially thought of making a huge map, but it felt like the space wanted flowers. 🌼💐🌻

This week, I covered the markets and I have this A1 chart to show for it.
This is a collab with Nick Mourtoupalas, edited by @timmeko.bsky.social. @postgraphics.bsky.social

I’m back on YouTube! I’ll share life beyond the byline & behind the maps, my work and others’ work that I admire, and hopefully restart making QGIS/mapping tutorials again. I’m creating my own happy place online. Come hang out and let me know if you have tutorial/feature requests!

My #dormidots map are now stickers — and you can buy them! When I’m not working, I still make maps so I thought why not use my map archive to raise funds for our community outreach programs in Bago City, Philippines. Thank you for your support!

Biden, the oldest US president and running for a 2nd term at 80, has faced criticisms about his age. Similarly,Trump who was 70 when he took office, was questioned about his age and mental fitness. This led us to looking into the age of past pres. and 2024 candidates here: https://wapo.st/3OkiJFL
