Hey hey hey, I'm not presenting anything, but I am present for this year's #sotmus! Come say howdy.

What is SOTMUS? It's a conference for users of @osmus.bsky.social which is like the Wikipedia of maps. Anyone can contribute. Anyone can use the map (with attribution) for free. It's a utopian project from the optimistic early internet that would be laughed out of the room if it were proposed today.
I'll be giving a lightning talk, presenting a VERY FUN hands-on activity and idk maybe renting a bus or something to make sure I can drag as many of you as possible down to The Map Center in Pawtucket for a couple hours.
We are so excited for SotM US 2025. Join us in Boston this June!

This project shows the fine line between geography, qualitative analysis of the human experience, and art

Andrew Middleton will explore these questions in his Thursday afternoon #SOTMUS workshop, "Know Your Audience":

How does a map look for someone very different from us? How does that reveal our responsibility as mappers?
