"Every map is an argument about what is important, promoting a specific point of view that the cartographer embeds in the map intentionally or unintentionally."

Great #weekendread about the nature and limitations of a key tool of our profession. thestrategybridge.org/the-bridge/202…

It mentions one of my favourite maps - McArthur’s Universal Corrective Map of the World. The story of this map is as cool as the map itself! mapdesign.icaci.org/2014/02/mapcar…

Cheers to @WDMills1992 and @Strategy_Bridge for sending me down a delightful map-themed rabbit hole - great way to while away a rainy Saturday.

The unhinged response to this frankly awesome video has to be coming from people who have never served themselves and who have never hung out with people who serve.

Here’s a tasting plate of military music videos from the last few years.🧵

US Air Force aircrew with “This is why I’m hot” from sunny Al Dhafra AFB.

The furore over the United Airlines announcement that they are trying to increase the size of their pilot talent pool by opening up opportunities to under-represented groups is both totally predictable and exactly why being a woman in aviation is SO DAMN TIRING. 1/🧵

The main complaint is that “hiring for diversity” will deliver incompetent pilots.

Guess what everyone? Being a white male doesn’t make someone a superior pilot. Trust me, I know!

You know what does? Training. And that’s exactly what United is proposing to do. 2/

The truth is that for decades the only people who could access aviation training in large numbers have been white men. That’s why they dominate the industry. Not because they are somehow innately better pilots. 3/

Impostor syndrome is a subject near and dear to my heart, for all the wrong reasons - I’ve wrestled with it my whole life.

@LyndsayFreeman8 and @ShamsaLea hit the nail on the head with this great piece via @GroundCuriosity 🙌 groundedcuriosity.com/imposter-syndr…

“Think back to all your greatest achievements. Did you feel proud of what you had just accomplished, or like a fraud who just got lucky?”

For so many years, it was the latter. I’m even fighting it right now, as I requalify on my favourite aircraft.

@ShamsaLea

That’s why I talk about it every chance I get. As @ShamsaLea and @LyndsayFreeman8 say - we need to normalize it.

“I am Maz Jovanovich, badass test pilot and military leader, and I experience impostor syndrome.”
