Another catch-up map for the #30DayMapChallenge day 15, for which the theme was food/drink. I've put together a few maps exploring food banks in the UK and their location in relation to population. Food bank location data is from @GiveFoodCharity, pop data from @WorldPopProject

Everytime I open up Twitter in these End Times, I expect to see this.
For me, this bowl was the standout @bcsmaps award winner and I'd like to have seen it get the big bowl. Congratulations!

Raise your kids to question authority, to read banned books, to stand up to bullies and fascists. Teach them that men can be gentle and women can be brave. Teach them that in a world of toxic machismo and anger, kindness and curiosity are acts of resistance.

So, when I was told that @thetimeteam was coming back and invited to take part in the production of two new digs, it was an invite I could not pass up. Tonight, the first of these of three new episodes attached to the first exaction goes live, free for everyone to see on YouTube

Self care is: - removing 90% of your browser tabs - changing your dishwashing sponge - taking tea bags when you travel - denying a PowerPoint file & requesting a different format - slicing butter, not spreading it - periodically logging off - having a favourite pen

Just been asked to appear on GB News to talk about Stonehenge. But not sharing a platform with the likes of Neil Oliver and Nigel Farage. Would like to think that no archaeologist will be willing to appear!

For #ISAWQGIS this week 2 readings include: Gillings. 2017. “Mapping Liminality: Critical Frameworks for the GIS-Based Modelling of Visibility.” Journal of Arch Sci 84: 121–28. doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2017.0…. We're going to generate a fair number of temporary layers this evening...

Hilarious. Except for the 176k who didn’t.
Replying to @bbclaurak
"I then asked ‘Are you going to survive Boris?’ And he said in his deep voice, slowly and with purpose, whilst singing a little as he finished his sentence ‘I Will Survive’. " he answered, ‘I’ve got all my love to give’, so we had a little blast of Gloria Gaynor!".. says Harri
