I wrote about learning who I was when I picked up a basketball, and learning how loved I was during the biggest failure of my young teenage life. theheatherhogan.substack.com/p/we-got-next
A collage of a young teen lesbian basketball player in the late 1990s. The text reads, “Becoming somebody. theheatherhogan.substack.com.” I’d spent my whole life up until that point thinking I’d never really belong anywhere. I was already feeling gay without any words for it. I was some kind of neurodivergent that made other kids think I was a weirdo and made teachers think I was either Gifted or doomed eternally at academia. One of my teachers even flipped over my desk in a Hulked-out rage because she was so sick of looking at how messy it was. But inside the lines of a basketball court, I became — well, Heather Hogan.

I am so in love with this new Hershey's campaign my wife @laikasp.bsky.social edited for the Winter Olympics. I've cried every single time I've watched it, including this morning when it was released. youtu.be/7vMZR94DP5o?...

Finding a safe home should not be this hard. People seeking safety face unacceptable conditions, social homes are not being built, and decades of underinvestment have created a housing emergency affecting us all.

Over on my patreon page, I wrote up a summary of the work I did this year: the maps, drawings, writings, etc. It's a lot!

It's free to read, so go take a look if you like. It's mostly images, and it'll give you a pretty good sense of what all I made in 2025.

Will you be working this year on a book or article that's going to need #maps? Let me help! I draw custom maps for a living!

I draw each map by hand, to my clients' specifications, & each is unique. You can find out more on my website:

surprisedeelmaps.com

Here's some recent examples of my work:
A Surprised Eel Map showing South America, with all of the countries named and the borders done in a light grey so that they are visible, but not obvious. The map shows the Amazon River, as well as the Rio de la Plata, the Parana River, and the Tiete River. The most salient part of the map is a series of large dark colored arrows, labeled "Flying Rivers." Each arrow is numbered, and has a shadow below it to suggest that it is floating above the map. The first arrow begins in the Atlantic ocean and goes west over the continent. The next turns back at the Andes, and then the last few split off of that into three different arrows that wind their way southeastward. There are lines showing evaporation in the atlantic, rain and evaporation over the Amazon, and lines showing rain the souther part of the continent. There is a key which reads: Life of a Flying River 1.Equatorial water evaporates off the ocean and is carried westward by trade winds 2. Cycles of evapotranspiration over the rainforest lead to emergence of an atmospheric ("flying") river 3. Colliding with the Andes, the flying river turns southward while feeding the headwaters of the Amazon basin 4. Continuing southeast, flying rivers carry accumulated water to distant parts of the continent via rainfall A black and white map showing a city plan for ancient Mycenae. Art. A greyscale map of southern Africa showing different biomes. The map map key indicates 7 different biomes: Succulent Karoo; Fynbos; Albany Thicket; India Ocean Coastal Belt; Mixed Woodland; Grassland; Nama-Karoo; and Kalahari Savanna. Each is represented on the may by a different shade of grey, with areas of more rainfall being darker, and areas of less rainfall being lighter. Several of the rivers are labeled, as is the Indian Ocean. Map of the globe, with Europe in the center. The map mostly does not show Oceania. The map is colored to look like an old-timey parchment maps. There are 15 drawings of various cultural artifacts on the map, each inside a black circle with an arrow pointing to the artifact's location in the world. A map title, written on what looks like torn parchment, reads, "Some Places and Treasures, Section 3: 1300 - 1500" There is a red dragon in the water. I've shown him before, so I'll share his alt-text again: A red sea serpent with little wings or fins. He might be a stupid dragon. His long, long tail curves several times before vanishing into the water behind him. You can't tell where in the world we are, as there are no landmarks. The serprent's tongue is yellow, like he's just popped a banana slug into his mouth. His expression kinda looks that way, too. His eyes are wide and his maw is open in something that looks like surprise. Like someone just pinched his butt in the middle of his quarterly earnings presentation. His name is Speril, and he is an only child
