Wolf "M237" has been tracked walking nearly 2000km(!) across Europe. kora.ch/en/news/longest-know…
800km more than Slavc who's 1200km trek from Slovenia to Italy was my favourite story in Where the Animals Go.

@cartohype and I took a deep dive into how arrows came to be used on maps...and what they've come to mean. It's a fascinating history!
Replying to @JanWillemTulp
I think maybe it's available here: icoads.noaa.gov/
Used it for Atlas of the Invisible, but I don't recall if the routes themselves are there rather just the ship density.
Very excited to welcome @meghankellymaps today’s @UCLgeography seminar series!

Classic “campus greening” outside my office this morning.
There’s a dead tree on the concrete where the temporary staging normally goes (I guess for Instagram) so staging is now wrecking fresh (living) turf that we’re not allowed to walk on 🙄. Why not swap them @UCLEstates?
Thrilled that Atlas of the Invisible won the 'Most Entertaining Book of 2022' at the Non Obvious Book Awards 😍

I think we'd be great friends, but very boring co-authors by the looks of things

Not only has AI reassured us it isn’t coming for our jobs, it is also keen to defend our pensions. 😂
Given how over the top some TV election graphics have become I'd welcome back the guy with a paintbrush and stepladder (from 1959).
