counter cartography online
Counter cartography is a way to dispute the conventional orders that dictate the way we relate and understand the world, by reframing the reprasentation of physical space. I highly recommend interactive maps hosted online as learning and research devices. queering the map - a collaborative map that features de experience of queer people around the world native land digital - interactive map that showcases indigenous territories and languages around the world global atlas of environmental justice - interactive map that highlights environmental disasters that took place around the world forensic architecture - a Goldsmiths research group that programmes interactive critical maps ebook this is not an atlas - introductory guide to the concept of counter cartography featuring a series of cases studies that employ the method in community work

making alternative maps
Ever since I read this article on psychogeography map making I've been obsessed with making maps based on on arbitrary factors such as smellscapes, sounds, plant life etcetera in my city. Little field guides if you will

atlascope
Really interesting website that overlays historic atlases on modern maps of Boston. Some things I learned today: - My house is on land formerly owned by a man named "Henry B. Goodenough"- hilarious puritan name (the tow lot near me is on Goodenough street- I hope you've never had the misfortune of going there) - The fire station at the corner of Brighton and Cambridge is on the site of a baptist church (see picture) - Comm ave used to not go past washington street... extended between 1882 and 1885 - A lot of Boston University is built on what used to be a river island Idk how interesting it is for non-boston locals, but it's fun to mess around with.

Languages of NYC (interactive map)
As an urban planner, I love maps. And, as someone casually fascinated by language/linguistic geography and sociolinguistics this is so interesting to me! I come back all the time as Iā€™m exploring new neighborhoods. Done by the good people at the Endangered Language Alliance. Another fascinating project (and mapped in, like, HTML) is this interactive map done by an amateur linguistic geographer, North American English Dialects, Based on Pronunciation Patterns.

Noticing a dialogue between two recs on pi
One of the things I like the most about Pi.fyi and the current scale of users is that it's still noticeable when a rec was inspired by another. Sometimes the rec directly mentions the other, but other times you can kinda assume that reading an especific thing here triggered a memory or an ideia. It's very cute and interesting to notice the small influences interacting with other humans online can have.
