#introduction in English
I’ve been on #mastodon since 2022 but I’m locked out of my account since September without hearing back from administrators. So, here I am on another server.

I am a #geographer but I just like posting about my dog Chico, pictures, and random thoughts. I might talk shit about anything, even the untouchable.

I don’t care about follower count so don’t expect me to follow back. I’ve been posting shit to the void long enough. Orale, peace out.

#Indigenous #Geographer Dr. Niiyokamigaabaw Deondre Smiles shares the history of The #StandingRock Struggle & the #NoDAPL Movement, recalling the power of Indigenous-led resistance. Dr. Smiles reflects on the state repression; #Obama sent #militarized forces to attack #WaterProtectors #activists fighting for #IndigenousRights & environmental justice. Smiles explains why and urges us to resist liberal nostalgia.

On the new Resistant Communiqués #Podcast, Indigenous #Geographer Dr. Niiyokamigaabaw Deondre Smiles explores the #LandBack movement. Land Back is complex, aimed at renewing #Indigenous Nations' relationships with their cultures, land, & territories. Dr. Smiles discusses how Land Back encompasses efforts ranging from addressing overlooked histories to restoring rights and relationships. It is multifaceted and broad.

Proud #geographer dad moment.
My 16 year old daughter came home from the thrift store with a #map today.

Happy birthday to Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594) renown Flemish cartographer.

What made Mercator a great #cartographer, was in fact his abilities as a #mathematician -and like those of us scientists who feel compelled also to create art he was wasn’t hindered by his immense ability as an engraver. He produced beautiful world maps (a version of which is depicted in this print), globes, 🧵1/n

So Tim Walz is a trained geographer and a former high school geography teacher?!

This is the biggest political news for the profession since Prince William got a masters degree in Geography.

Here's Gov Walz giving a talk at the ESRI GIS conference just last month!

He's totally locked up the pivotal mapmaker demographic.
