I've never actually dug into journal rankings before to realize how much the positions and publications of the editorial board actually matter to the metrics. The constant spam requests at least make more sense now.

First time using ArcPro... same amount of yelling at my computer as always, BUT, now I have a draft map of every place (580 unique sites!) recommended to visit by National Museums Scotland Publishing! @museumsgalleriesscotland.org.uk @tourismgeographies.bsky.social @iashedinburgh.bsky.social

Got a paper back a couple months ago from a middling journal with 3 rejects/major revisions. One of the best pieces of publishing advice has been from @dhkaplanoh.bsky.social: don't change a thing...reformat and send it back out. Just received 3 accepts/minor revisions from a top journal.

Not just most, nearly all 97%! Now, let's compare those figures to other groups. Are our trans students welcome? Our Indigenous students? Do our international students feel safe?

Yachts are rich people's carbon bombs. Yachts are a policy failure. We should put a 100% luxury tax on yachts, and put the money into green infrastructure that cuts carbon pollution and protects coastal communities from floods.

I've had a rocky relationship with my alma mater this past year, but SCSU has shown its quality over the past month in the face of overwhelming adversity and violence. Very proud to see the new president take a non-negotiable stance protecting and supporting students. @scsualumni.bsky.social

I'm in a border district. My people in the U.P. can't see a doctor or afford housing. Some are living in bitter cold without heat or hope. D.C. continues to treat this xenophobic immigration hysteria as a legitimate priority while my people's basic needs are forgotten. That is utterly enraging.

Today marks the end of my fabulous APS (@amphilsociety.bsky.social) Fellowship at IASH (@iashedinburgh.bsky.social). What began as an empirical assessment into National Museums Scotland's books has instead revealed the relational, emotional, and fluid dynamics underpinning our national museums.

50 years from now we'll be visiting the Minneapolis Homeland "Security" Shootings Site wondering how we could have let things get so bad and vowing "never again" while the next demagogue plays upon the nation's fears and vulnerabilities for their personal benefit.

We will need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission when these cruel, lawless people are out of office. They must be held accountable in order for our nation to heal.
