I didn't see this already, so I went through my follow list and made a Starter Pack for Women+ in geo & EO - very broadly.
I'm reminded how lopsided the gender divide is still in our field when I get 1 woman follower for every 10 men. It's particularly noticeable right now.

I don't have a fancy microphone, so I'm just wondering. Do you have to have it really close when you talk into it, and that's why all the podcasters have their mic in frame? Or is it just to look cool?

I don't remember the last time I gave a talk (probably when I worked at UA), but I'm challenging myself to do some this year. Forcing myself to rip the band-aid off and give a talk next week to a small group about the cloud-native geospatial zine I made last year. Feeling pretty rusty!

Today I just published two @developmentseed.org blogs that I've been working on. A marketing person would probably spread them out, but I can do what I want, so I'm sharing them both! 🧵

From a few weeks ago, but big yikes 😱 If you have a non-profit might want to check if GoFundMe created a page for your org and ask them to remove it.

GoFundMe created 1.4M donation pages for nonprofits; some Bay Area organizations had no clue
"Why didn't they consult me?" said one man, who discovered unauthorized 'pre-made' GoFundMe pages for two of the organizations he helps to run.

All year, it felt like no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get more than 3 blogs out per month. Most of the time, only 2. In October, I finally got 4 blogs out! Sure, there were a couple of short ones, but I put the same love & care into those as well! Here's my October blogs 🧵
