Hi Friends,
Greetings from Cartagena, Colombia where I’ve just spent the week with my wife and son.
I would love to tell you about the luscious food, kind people and beautiful architecture I have bathed in all week. But all I can think of right now is the rolling back of women’s access to reproductive healthcare in the United States. If you can, donate to your local abortion fund (my friend Stew shared a list of donation links to abortion funds in states with trigger laws). I will match every donation 1:1 up to $1,000. Just send me a screenshot of your receipt and I will send you one back of my match.

🌍 Relief Maps: When we think of a country’s geography, the first image that comes to mind is the one-dimensional shapes we’re used to seeing on a world map. But maps are poor teachers of geography. They don’t tell us much about the varying landscape of a country. I had a big “aha” moment when I came across this relief map of Colombia. In just a glance, you get grasp of how prominent the mountains are in the geography of the country. The map below is from Think about Maps.
🧳Travel Tip: I love airplanes. So when I travel, I pick my flight based on the aircraft instead of the time of flight. If you’re going to be stuck in a metal box for a few hours, you might as well choose one that’s pleasant to fly in. My favorite aircrafts are the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A330Neo.
