Look, I get it. Jack wants the freedom to sport that godawful beard and Twitter is genuinely the only place where wannabe billionaire simps won't roast him for having facial hair that somehow screams "white supremacist billy goat".

Trying to figure out whether Musk deciding to end user blocking in discussion with fascists on Musk is worth a standalone update.

This would mean that not only will you be unable to block harassment of yourself - even if you're still able to mute it - fash and other systematic hate campaigns will be able to use your twitter to harass everyone who follows you by flooding every post you make with replies of fash shit, gore, pr0n, whatever.

good, even with the glue seams from assembling four tiled sheets, it folds pretty well into a reasonable size (4 3/8 by 6 1/2 inches / 11 by 27 cm)

I mean, not that anyone’s going to use it that way, but it’s nice to know it works.

Whelp, here's a second proofing release of the vector-graphics based map re-implementation.It's substantially finished now I think? I made a couple of very small path corrections since the last proofing release and this one has text copy and icons and a legend.

If anyone's up for helping me verify it against the last bitmap release, that'd be appreciated. That version is as always at https://github.com/solarbirdy/NorthshoreBikeMap/

Hey people who follow me but mute my boosts -

Release 1 of the Greater Northshore Bike Map is NOW! Full res version is downloadable, it's like 600mm/24" wide printed at 300dpi and connects the Seattle and 2 Line Connector Eastside bike maps.

Enjoy:

Okay! New map! The attachment is the first representation of dataset 1.1, using a lot of dotted green lines (as per the Seattle map legend) to show non-bike-signed routes commonly used by people biking.

(It's not full resolution because Mastodon shrinks it.)

It also includes a couple of actual bike-supporting routes I missed in dataset 1.0, and a lot more dirt/loose gravel trails, particularly in unincorporated King County and on the northern Eastside. But there's bits of adds everywhere.

The dotted green is experimental. Feedback is definitely requested.

Full resolution is at Github, select the map labelled "EXPERIMENTAL":

One thing working with the version 1.1 dataset is telling me is that if there are some pretty obvious-seeming ways that an un-notated map would tell you to go... but the heat data says nobody does that.

And that's the value of including these green dashed lines, because ... that lack of heat data says there's a reason not go do there.

NPR today:

"Like to bike? Your knees will thank you and you may live longer, too

New research shows lifelong bikers have healthier knees, less pain and a longer lifespan, compared to people who've never biked. This adds to the evidence that cycling promotes healthy aging."

Nothing like hanging the thing and just looking at it to make you think about what needs addressing

(Yes this is the previous, narrow version - not the absolute latest. it’s what I have printed out.)

moira,
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

I patched it. Using prints from my less good printer which is why the water colour is different. But via scissors I was able to make the different colour mostly mean salt water vs. fresh so that’s something?

moira,
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

things I need to do differently on Greater Northshore: my double line separation needs to be more consistent. they get too close in places and that’s bad.

also I need a better tool but I don’t know what. something like illustrator that preserves objects. but not adobe shit because yikes money.
