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.

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.

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 🧵

One of my customers had so much fun visiting the Map Center that he came back a few days later with a camera. He made this magnificent short documentary about my store, about me, and why I bother to do any of it at all.
It's really lovely and I hope you watch it!
