It occurs to me I never shared the video of my #nacis2025 talk. It's eight minutes of me musing about how to deal with the challenge of accepting praise from colleagues.

I mean, I'm guessing it is. I haven't watched it, and October was a long time ago.
#4 (of 5): I have a keen interest in ancient history, and last year I spent a few days looking up city names in cuneiform to make this #map of Sumer and Akkad. I also gave away a printed copy at #nacis2025.
If you’re in #Loouhvull for #NACIS #NACIS2025, look out for these OpenHistoricalMap stickers. Snag one and keep it real! (For the record, we have a scale bar too.)
After a NACIS Slack thread with @MoriartyMaps and Amy Rock, I'll be bringing a laminated copy of my asymmetric monstrosity world map to #nacis2025 for people to draw on with dry erase markers.
More about the map (including prints & free download): https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2025/04/10/a-usefully-useless-projection/
Unryu is quite pretty, and it's fun to print on. My cheap injket doesn't entirely do it justice, but I think it'll work well enough for some things I plan to bring to #nacis2025.
Maybe that Sumerian piece I did last month would be interesting on it, too.
