Hello internet, I've been lurking for a while but let's try an #introduction.
I'm a recovering tumblr girlie (does fandom exist on mastodon? for better or worse?) who likes #reading, #knitting, and cross-country #skiing as soon as there's enough snow here the #PNW.
I believe in tech that helps build a more liberatory future and want to know what abolitionist, anit-authoritarian #datascience might look like.
With winter in full swing (mostly), people are starting to head for the ski slopes. And what’s better than a day of skiing? Après-skiing, maybe? Altitude sickness can sneak up fast — especially if you’re sipping cocktails to enhance the late-day euphoria. @foodandwine discusses why alcohol hits different at higher elevations and how you can prevent that two-by-four-to-the-forehead feeling from drinking too much up there:

A new thematic #map arrived: mapcomplete.org/ski
It features an interactive display of:
- #ski pistes
- #aerialways
- 3D-visualisation of the terrain
- various useful POI, such as #guideposts, information boards, #restaurants mountain #rescue stations, ...
All data is of course based on #OpenStreetMap (with the addition of height data and aerial imagery of course)
This might or might not be created because @pietervdvn went #skiing last week ;)
