Need a sign that says "The Geospatial Career Counselor is IN" or something. It's not a money-making service but as long as it's just once in a while, it makes me feel useful in a way that the vast majority of advice given to me as a recent graduate definitely wasn't.

This is one of those subtweets related to a real conversation I had with someone at The Map Center. Sometimes I just gotta say what I want to strangers online so I don't have to say something regrettable IRL.

He needed the bathroom and stayed to test me out. Super nice guy. We left with respect but there was a bit in the middle where I was fairly pissed/exasperated.

I try to be a place for judgment free education. I had a woman come in fascinated to see where North America was on a map. Bless. Her education wasn't perfect but she's curious. I have patience for good faith ignorance, just not willful, adamant conspiracism.

I'm a career geographer, a teacher, avid reader etc. Doesn't matter. These folks are usually fairly smart but they don't live in the same physical world where results of experiments are trustworthy. There is no common ground. MAGA has damaged my calm tolerance for this epistemological nihilism.

He brought up two YouTube videos about Buzz Aldrin saying it was all a fake. I told him about another video of Buzz Aldrin punching out a heckler saying the same thing.
Also I saw Buzz Aldrin speak on the USS Hornet in 2019(?) and he was pretty sure he went to the moon then.
