An arboreal, poly, gender non-participating mapmaker and cat foster. I like to share my process, write tutorials, and otherwise informally teach cartography (with support from many of you on Patreon).

Design tip: any document opened in

starts in a quantum superposition of "no changes" and "unsaved changes." But as soon as you observe the document, the wavefunction always collapses into "unsaved changes." To preserve your document as-is, be sure never to look at it.

Alternatively, create an entangled pair of documents with a colleague. While one will have unsaved changes, the other will be fine.

~10 months after I developed it, I'm finally starting to write up details about my oblique hachure method. It's going to be a long process of explanation and refining my script to be usable by others. But, I've at least started down the path. Goal is to submit a draft to Cartographic Perspectives by October.

Perhaps a surprise given how much writing (& editing) I do, but it's always a slow struggle for me, disentangling my thoughts. Sometimes a short paragraph can take me an hour.
