Font 22: PRIDE is the second font inspired by the Pride Cleaners sign in the Chatham neighborhood in Chicago. It was recently announced that Pride Cleaners would be closing, but hopefully the amazing sign and iconic building will be saved 🤞🤞🤞

HOW high is that hill??
This is great! 🤩
Amid the hundreds of colleagues we’ve lost today, I wanted to highlight the BRILLIANT data/graphics folks who any newsroom should be fighting to hire right now—threading here:
The ICE killings in Minneapolis evoke Selma but the day-to-day tactics in Minneapolis remind me of the Birmingham Bus Boycott: a grinding, continuous, citywide and logistically demanding effort of non-cooperation over months to break an unjust status quo.

Admiring the markmaking ...
Actually you'll be fine. "... with bugs on her windshield🎶" works for any vehicle and really goes with a road trip feeling.

Increasing hazard situational awareness is always worthwhile, and disaster maps are never excessive. I made this US #WinterStorm map with a dark background (save battery during outages), a vertical layout (mobile viewing/sharing), colorblind friendliness, and county/city references. Source: #NOAA

A map looks toward Los Angeles from the South, showing the location of Japanese farms particularly in the south of LA. The headline reads: Network of Japanese Farms Covers Vital Southland Defense Areas. The caption reads: Japanese Menace -- Depicting how Japanese landholdings are spaced throughout the Los Angeles County area in manner to permit disastrous assaults on every military objective, county authorities yesterday complied complete listings and a master map of Japanese farm interests. Above, Times Staff Artist Charles H. Owens shows, in black, the approximate location of the many plots of land, either owned or leased by Japs.
I teach "Mapping, Space, and Power" starting tomorrow. This 1942 LAT map came into my head from my grad school days and I spent hours reviving an old hard drive to find it. I can't believe it isn't *everywhere* in lit about understanding the power of maps but it is surprisingly hard to find online.
Look at the hundreds of people in that community in Minneapolis who ran TOWARDS the danger. Look at those who documented in their heads what happened so they could accurately recount it afterwards, look at those currently out protesting. Pay attention & do your part too.
Wind, solar, and electric vehicles made huge strides in 2025.
For the first time, wind and solar supplied more power than coal worldwide, while EVs accounted for more than a quarter of new car sales.
🎉 Huge! Enjoy
