man I love maps I love geography even spatial analysis and shit I think it's neat and can be valuable but sometimes I have sort of a master's tools crisis about it bc like. I'm in this GIS program and oh turns out that classmate's a cop. that other classmate works in national security. that classmate works for the air force. I look for GIS jobs and it's like "would you like to work for the CIA? would you like to work for Homeland Security? how about Consulting Companies A-Z who are also, incidentally, CIA or DHS contractors??" and no, I really would not like that. that's the last thing I would like. is there anyone out there who would pay me to use these skills to not be evil
watching this geology professor on youtube explain how the cascade mts in the us pacific northwest are going to go away eventually and become ghost volcanoes in 10 million years when the plates shift and their access to magma is cut off, and i just. love the way heās detailing all these effects as if he and some of his viewers are in fact going to be around in 10 million years to see it.Ā āyes weāre going to lose the cascades and the volcanism will stopĀ - but then weāll have new problems when we get our own version of the san andreas fault, just like california. and the cascades are going to leave some really great granite to climb on!ā ok good? iāll look forward to that?
love geography but its history as a discipline and science, and the history of navigation and cartography and even the concept of calculating longitude, is a history of imperialism. went to the prime meridian today which was cool but amid all the information and tools on display any real connection to the history of empire was notably absent. a very loud silence
āOne of the agreements tacitly made by consumers with [global extractive] industries is that extraction and its costs will remain mostly out of sight, and therefore undisturbing to its beneficiaries. Those industries understand the market need for alienated labour, hidden infrastructure and the strategic concealment of both the slow violence of environmental degradation and the quick violence of accidents.āĀ
Underland, Robert Macfarlane

sth i believe in is the importance of getting to know the place you live. howās it put together? who lives here and why and where? what layers comprise this place? what did it used to be? why are the streets laid out how they were? whose ideas and visions and values went into its construction? what ideals battled to design its future, and who won? what fights have been fought over this land and its use and its care? what is still at stake? especially if it interests you to imagine places becoming different than they are, i think itās important to understand what else they have been and how they got to how they are now
also to help yourself develop a sense of rootedness and link yourself into an unfolding of history anchored in place. it doesnāt have to be a place youāve lived a long time or are planning to, i still think thereās value in connecting with the human & more than human geographies around you. do you have to be as alienated as you might feel? can you bridge that? a lot of places feel misused, or abandoned, or soulless and impersonal, meant to keep us apart even sharing the same space. but how did they get this way? can they be something else?
things I did not expect to learn today: thereās a subset of conspiracist types who donāt believe in basaltic columnar jointing??? they think itās just petrified trees and the idea that lava flows can cool in a geometric pattern is like.. propaganda by Big Geology
I donāt know if anybody wanted this but since weāre all laughing at the ship stuck in the Suez Canal, here are a bunch of things to read about how container ships transformed the global economy, starred in the so-called logistics revolution, helped to make supply chains move a lot faster and seemingly more streamlined, while impacting everything from forms of protest to the physical geography of port cities to labor conditions among longshore workers
