One interesting thing about the California redistricting Prop 50 election is lawmakers in Texas, Missouri & North Carolina all redrew their congressional maps this year without having to go to the voters for approval and idk maybe voters in those states would like to change that

I live along an arterial road in Houston. I have been pondering some protest art to paint along my fence. Maybe this is something I could do since they removed the rainbow crosswalk. 🤔 🌈
Artists are painting their own rainbows in Houston after Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the removal of a roadway symbol supporting the city's LGBTQ+ community.

houston: as you may know, there's an important election going on *right now* to fill a seat in congress. this is a big deal. if you live in district 18, the governor has deliberately denied you representation in congress since march. now is your chance to vote. here's some info🧵

I had to do a double take on this map.
To really highlight “high” vs “low,” it’s clearer to use completely different colors instead of similar hues. The choice below reads like a sequential scale - light blue feels like a middle bin, not a low one.
Color opinions aside, interesting info!

Tell me something you do when you code that other people would tell you that you shouldn't do.
Tell me the rules you break!
