If the federal administration of our southern neighbour weren't wandering lost in cloud-cuckoo land, I'd point out that Lake Ontario isn't even named after the Canadian province of Ontario (the land to the north of the lake was known as "Upper Canada" and "Canada West" before 1867).
But since we're in 2026, there's probably no point. It must be embarrassing living in the U.S. right now, but I know you'll all get through this. 🫂

A Serious Proposal: Why don't we name every lake, river, sea, gulf, ocean, mountain, hill, glacier, fjord, hamlet, village, town, city, state, country, and continent "America?"
It would make geography exams much easier, everyone would have the same passport, and America would win all the gold medals in the Olympics.

• I am NOT associated with HR/recruiting in ANY way
• Therefore, these are NOT endorsements, and there are no ‘referrals’ or the like for me
• I am simply sharing SOME roles I have seen – in the hope that they are of use to someone
• As such, I am not (and indeed can not) in any way ‘vet’ these roles (i.e., you are advised to conduct your own due diligence due to hideous, potential risks like fraudulent postings, ‘ghost jobs’, résumé/ATS ‘improvement’ scammers, etc)
• Further, roles listed are in no specific order (i.e., simply as I ‘encountered’ them during the week)
• There is ZERO cost to access this list of spatial / GIS roles
• I am not (really) ‘mining’ US Federal government roles - with the ‘hiring freeze’, uncertainty, etc
• You can subscribe to the (free) weekly LinkedIn newsletter www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7397678824928366594 or also for free at earthstuff.Substack.com - if so inclined#fridayjobs #gischat #jobsonfriday #GIS #spatial #mapping #cartography #geography #job #jobopenings #hiring #newjob #employment #roles #GISJobs #NotARecruiter #fridayspatialjobs #scholarship #PhD #PostDoc #CareersInSpatial #career #openroles #Geomatics #GIS #Innovation #Growth #caveatNONemptor #LetsGetYouHired #GISCareer #GISStudents #PhD #postdoc #hiringalert #GISjobs #careeropportunity #NowHiring #spatialanalysis #GIS #Geospatial #GISSpecialist #Geomatics #OpenToWork

Even Prophets Felt Distress and Turned to God: Finding Strength in Supplication
Jonah did not ask to be saved initially; he simply praised Allah and admitted his fault. This teaches us that recognizing Allah’s perfection in the middle of our “perfect storm” is the key to unlocking the cage. Whether we are sinking into a chair in despair or feeling mentally exhausted to the point of collapse, the words of Jonah remind us that no darkness is too deep for Allah’s light to reach. -
The Earth breathes. 🌍🌿 Forests green and fade, croplands pulse with the seasons, and from orbit, satellites track that rhythm. Vegetation indices like NDVI turn sunlight into a heartbeat we can map. The living planet, seen from above. 🛰️

Musical musing: is there a map showing the relative positions of Blueberry Hill, Strawberry Fields, Tangerine & the beaches where one may observe the peaches?
And how do they relate to more urban musical environments, such as the city built on rock & roll or Paradise City?? Does Penny Lane lead to Fascination Street?

Prophets- Finality of Prophethood
I attended a lecture once in which the lecturer explained how some believe that anyone could qualify in becoming a prophet.’ Some people take it in a very loose sense.’ It depends of course on what the logic of Islam is concerning this whole issue of prophet-hood, which in turn explains why a universal and final revelation is needed.https://alborz8.wordpress.com/2026/08/24/prophets-finality-of-prophethood/
