This is a great article by @anlugonz.bsky.social and @ashleyjkirk.bsky.social analysing the Reform vote. Excellent use of visualisations to bring home the central point of just how disparate a bunch they are.

Rhode Island Elevation Joy Plot Map

I made a Joy Plot map years ago in ArcPro, but I am using QGIS these days, so I figured this would be a great time to learn a new workflow. I will be posting the workflow on Day 23 - Process.

People don't realise what a big deal it is for acceptance of place names to change in such a short time without wars/dictators/invasion/etc. Just people, within a generation, deciding it is the right thing to do. mapdata::NZHires baseman + Affinity Publisher.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 6: Dimensions

I used the dimension of time to map Sussex, NB (and area), over the seasons in 2024, using images from Copernicus Sentinel 2.
I used ArcGIS Pro with tools such as georeferencing, raster clip, and splitting polygon feature layers.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 4: My Data – The Illusion of Support ❤️💙

This map comments on political echo chambers using a red filter. National had the highest percentage party vote in 2023.

People tend to form relationships with others with similar views, which can make election results feel surprising.
