"The decision stunned “DD” – an 18-year-old freshman at the University of Alabama named Daniel DiDonato – who learned his map had been selected as he was preparing to leave for his 9.30am introduction to political science class.
“I was absolutely surprised,” he said in an interview. “Now, nearly 300,000 Alabamians will be voting under new district lines that I drew up at two in the morning in a dorm, a cramped dorm study room.”

Reposting some #30DayMapChallenge maps from local cartographer and geography professor Aquila Flower (@AquilaFlower@mapstodon.space). Sharing for the local #PNW and #BellinghamWA content!
1. The age of buildings in Bellingham, WA
2. Density of marine passenger traffic in the #SalishSea
3. The terrain of the #SalishSea basin if there were no water. Where is the coastline obvious, and where is it hard to spot at all?

Recent poll shows good support for #ProportionalRepresentation:
"48% of adults say they would support a system where states are required to assign seats in the U.S. House in proportion to the number of votes won statewide, while 19% are opposed. 32% of respondents said 'don’t know'"

From the interview with #Gerrymandering researcher Moon Duchin in the NYTimes: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/science/duchin-math-elections-gerrymandering.html
Duchin: "I think taking a hard look at the design of electoral systems could get us out of this nuclear moment."
NYT: What are the options?
Duchin: "One system I’m studying is proportional ranked choice voting, also known as the single transferable vote method, or S.T.V. In this scenario, you have multi-member districts using ranked choice."

Which do you prefer, "data viz" or "dataviz"?
I long time ago (10 years!) I did some Google Trends analysis and found that "dataviz" was the most commonly-used way of writing the term, so I've been sticking to that all this time.
But today, I checked again and found that 10 years ago happened to be right around an inflection point and since then, "data viz" has taken over.
Time to update my writing style! cc @stamen@vis.social

We finally wrote the final part of @stamen@vis.social's history of #OpenStreetMap (only four years after we wrote parts one and two, lol). Enjoy a #longread including many Stamen maps from over the past couple of decades, created by the amazing team of coworkers and alums I've had the pleasure of working with over the years.
