@AccordionBruce @RussSharek I took them at the word "lithograph". Lithography is done on stones, not wood. It also makes more sense for the place and time period for it to be lithography than woodblock printing.

BTW, this is not a personal slam. It is geared towards all of us, including myself. We have a duty to examine who we recommend, who we elevate, to make sure we're not just endorsing kyriarchy.If we cannot come up with a more diverse list- do we need to get out more?- is it really that there isn't much diversity for that subject matter here on Mastodon? Why is that?- if we've tried hard and we're still coming up shy, explain what you did and the results.

Sadly, it's not online in full anymore (possibly behind a subscription paywall...RIP Public Television), but the American Experience episode on Jimmy Carter seemed like a pretty good introduction.https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/carter/#part01EDIT: https://archive.org/details/american-experience-jimmy-carter

I've got a list on this site to choose from, but I'd appreciate any stories from folks who have red flags to speak of.I wasn't dissatisfied with Proton Mail's service (so far as I'd been able to use it), but the CEO turned out to be a bit of a fascist licker. I want to avoid that with any new places I'm choosing.https://european-alternatives.eu/category/email-providers

@organicmaps I have Organic Maps loaded on both phones, but I haven't made the switch because it just is not as easy for me to use. Now that I am in a foreign country where businesses almost never have their own websites, the reviews being tied into Google Maps also makes a difference.I don't know if OSM has a way for there to be open reviews of places, with photos of the place and menu, their wares, and their hours.You could beat Google in Albania if you included cycle route info, too.

@organicmaps When you ask for directions in Google Maps for Albania, the cycle route option is greyed out.They definitely don't have as much info as OSM has in some respects and it's a place where OSM and apps that use it could gain yardage on Google.Tirana, Albania has some actual protected lanes and ones that are supposed to be protected (armadillos), but...well... And that doesn't even include recommended routes that have no lane but just have less car traffic.

@FediFollows Hahaha, for a moment I thought that meant certain lakes and rivers had their own accounts, like Karl the Fog's old Twitter account (for the Bay Area fog).
