I appreciate this funny play on words and the satirizing notion you are using the critique even just the language we use to describe 'Green Spaces.'

This is a good connection to our class content, where the Grand Narrative makes big generalizing claims, but even just looking at one city across time and seasons can look so different.

This is such an interesting point that I had never thought about before. This raises awareness to the discrepancy between the 'factual' 'scientific' and 'technological' presentations of a city through a map, as opposed to the real lived experiences of people in the city. This makes me think also about the weather app which declares an objective temperature and a temperature that it 'feels like,' but both of these can vary from what the weather truly feels like when you step outside and experience it with your body.

This is such a creative piece! I think that this screenshot is very effective in juxtaposing these two views, and highlighting how frequently we view both without realizing their differences.

This is a great connection to class content!

I think that acknowledging the flaws of maps is very important, and something that is often overlooked. I use googlemaps all the time without thinking critically about how it influences my view of the world. The psychological consequences of visualizing the world from above (a view from nowhere that has been created through technology) surely erases our personal connection to the world we see at our ground level.

I think this sentence alone helps illustrate one of the main themes we covered in LIBA 402 this semester – the stereotype of the overly objective nature that science aims to have, compared to the subjective nature of the humanities. We discussed why it is important to acknowledge the flaws of both when studying the environmental humanities and this page lays out that idea.
