In 2024, 46.9% of net electricity generated in the EU came from renewable energy sources (Eurostat). In the first half of 2025, renewable energy has outpaced coal as the primary source of electricity globally, indicating a shift in our reliance on fossil fuels (NPR). 🌞 #30DayMapChallenge Minimal

Javier Jiménez Shaw gave a great talk yesterday at #FOSS4Ge called “Mercator is your friend,” in defense of cartographers’ most hated map projection. Today, Mercator is also my grocery store. 😆😁 Ah, what a week- I love being around fellow map nerds! 🗺️🧭🌍🛰️

Had a great convo yesterday at #FOSS4GEurope about how newcomers can start contributing to open source: it’s all about fixing the bugs that are bothering you in the libraries or tools you already use, or adding features you wish they had! I really liked that perspective 🙂

Had a blast at #geomob Berlin yesterday! Nerded out about the math behind different projections for longer than I’d like to admit and left feeling inspired! 🌍🩵

10/ Great talks that had given us lots to think about and discuss. We headed to the very nearby Hofbräu Haus Berlin where the #geobeers 🍻were paid for by our sponsors: - mapular https://www.mapular.com - OpenCage https://opencagedata.com Please check them out, the event would not be possible

discussing the talks over geobeers

Recently started a HTML/CSS/JavaScript course on freecodecamp, and it is unreal how much code goes into something that looks as “simple” as this. Hats off to all you front-end developers out there!! 🎩

Watching “live to 100: secrets of the blue zones” and seeing a lot of great maps! My family always talks about how they want to make their own blue zone 😸 Idea: looking at the concentrations of centenarians (people that live to be 100+) in different states/provinces across the world 🙂‍↔️🩵 #MapIdeas

I went to a zine-making meetup today started by some really cool geographers and my head has so many ideas now! Here’s another map idea that came out of the meetup: How climate change has impacted cherry blossom season tourism in Japan 🌸🤔 #MapIdeas
