Jeremia Kimelman @jeremiak.com · Dec 16 One my favorite things about building digital maps is that the person using it can just move the map to their hometown & have a completely different frame for comparison, like I did in this piece after redistricting https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/01/california-election-new-districts-lookup/

And now, my map rant: maps aren't objective, they're just one particular tool for looking at the world. Maps come with baggage just like all visualization methods do, including built-in bias. Just because it's on a map doesn't mean it's true and it certainly doesn't mean it's easy to understand.
