🔥 Thanks to the Melrose Voters for Safe Streets group, you can see what candidates in this upcoming election have to say about the subject here: viewshed.notion.site/viewshed/Melro…
Wading back into Twitter to share that we (@bplmaps) are hiring — it's a super fun place to work and please let me know if you are interested and have questions! leventhalmap.org/about/jobs/dir…
Spring has officially (sort of) sprung here in Boston!! The upcoming months of warm weather are the perfect time to get outside and explore Boston’s history.
This stretch of the Orange Line was designed for 40mph. These days I think we go about 4.
This Wednesday, April 26 2:00PM 👉 Designer At Work: Open Studio with Andy Woodruff. Learn more about how contemporary mapmakers think about design and information, and take a look at some of @awoodruff works-in-progress: leventhalmap.org/event/designer…
Although transit maps are both one of the mostly widely used and widely loved form of cartography in our daily lives, @bplmaps has never made them the sole focus of an exhibition. That’s about to change in September! Read the teaser interview: leventhalmap.org/articles/inter…
April is National Poetry Month! You may not immediately put maps and poems in the same category, but both are mediums rich with meaning. Check out these examples of poems on maps in our collections, which we found with some digging and keen eyesight: leventhalmap.org/articles/maps-…
This year marks the inauguration of our Designer-in-Residence fellowship, and our first Designer-in-Residence is the multi-talented @awoodruff! Learn more about Andy, how he began working with maps, and what he plans to do in residency: leventhalmap.org/articles/inter…
New at @bplmaps : our first-ever Designer-in-Residence, @awoodruff, is in the library this month. Read more about him and his goals for the residency in this interview! leventhalmap.org/articles/inter…
We have an absolutely amazing 1st cohort of scholars & public researchers supported by the @bplmaps Small Grants for Digital Publications program, including @graphtie @clairemdunning @jbhartman3 @NathanBraccio (+ others not on Twitter) Learn more: leventhalmap.org/articles/small…

Any person can see that ordering 1+ million people to move in under 24 hours is not possible. It is unacceptable. The UN has already deemed the order “impossible” without “devastating humanitarian consequences.” Humanity is at stake. Nearly half are children. We must halt this

Today, a coalition of advocates have banded together to form “Malden for Equitable Transportation” to take action for our climate and future in our community. I hope you’ll join us. To quote @SenMarkey, “don’t agonize, ORGANIZE.”
rick steves you are a beacon of light in an increasingly dark, sad world
When I travel, I enjoy a trip to the supermarket & the efficiency and economy of not spending time and money at restaurants every meal. I just relax in my room with a picnic dinner — or fancy it up by dining in a nearby park or lively square. I'd love to see your own picnic pics!
All nationalism is LARPing and always has been and always will be. The more you read about the very distant past the more you realize how completely made up nationalism is to the point where people committed historical and archaeological fraud whose damage is still being undone
Ukraine may be in some sense "fake" historically, but it's also possible for a nation to LARP itself into reality, and this seems to be what Ukraine has done.
This fight is not about policing personal choices, it's about ensuring that no matter how you get around, it is safe, reliable and gets you to your destination on time. In Malden, 40% of residents are not traveling in a car every day. They matter.
But as someone who believes cities, and the world, are incredibly complicated and incredibly interesting, I find it so hard to sympathize with a movement whose central tenet seems to be never, ever, having to learn a second thing.
I think the T should do this more often for riders experiencing the painful results of years of political failure and not exclusively for highway projects and private events.

@MassEEA @MassGovernor A solution might be to remove roads from an agency that time and time again refuses to realize the harm cars do to the environment and other road users. @MassDCR proves time and time again why we need to let go of the past and let them focus on parks and beaches.
After negotiations with Belarusian President Lukashenka, Pregozhin agrees to turn columns within 300 km around & return to bases. Prigozhins says this is to avoid bloodshed. The situation remains extremely volatile. A misstep by either faction would result in large-scale violence
Woah. Imagine if we could commit to this kind of quick action to transit & non-motorized modes. We could have bus and bike lanes blanketing our cities in a matter of weeks.
