Dusting off the @stamen@vis.social Pinterest page to collect examples of "GLOPs" (Graphical List Of Places). That's when you extract the shapes of objects & order them in a grid according to some attribute. David Garcia's "Hundred Largest Islands" map is a great example. Anyone have other faves? https://www.pinterest.com/stamendesign/glop-maps-graphical-list-of-places/

Hi everybody, we have a new local server up and running for #BellinghamWA called subdued.social and shortly I'll be migrating my account over there. If you don't get redirected automatically, follow me at @alan@subdued.social #Bellingham #Whatcom #WhatcomCounty #PNW #Cascadia #WashingtonState

I'm now squatting on salishsea.social and subdued.social (for the city of #BellinghamWA) if anyone wants to set up Mastodon servers for either one. Just sayin'. #SalishSea #Cascadia #Bellingham
