Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it

Loved National Geographic growing up about the different places, and no I'm not going into the bare breasted African women they showed.
Geography is everywhere!
I always thought geography was about the physical landforms and features themselves, without humanity being considered in it.
Relationships between people and their environments sounds more like sociology to me.
I love maps!
It’s racism. Just wait...
And you would be correct. This definition reeks of wokey-globull-warming leftist b.s.
I said I wanted to be a geographer but was not sure if I wanted to move to Kansas.
'Why would you have to move to Kansas?
'Well, that's the geographical center of the country.' I responded.
The logic was there, the facts weren't. Hey, I was only ten. LOL

“I always thought geography was about the physical landforms and features themselves, without humanity being considered in it.”
No, it includes the political boundaries and sites (i.e., borders, countries, cities, etc.). That’s why atlases generally include a physical map (the terrain and waterways, etc.) and a political map (borders, countries, cities, etc.).
I’ve been into maps since I was a kid.
My Dad was a pilot in WWII and in the USAFR. When I was a kid he taught me the rudiments of navigation on a huge map of the world he had in his den. You know, latitude and longitude; degrees, minutes, and seconds; plotting courses, rhumb lines, etc. It came in handy later in life.
Geography has gone woke.
Miss those simpler times.
What is a woman?

FYI: The Department of State has a 70+ year old Office of the Geographer that has done much work on boundary studies — the cause of many our political problems, past and present. And humanity is definitely considered.
Well when I was growing up my father told me about "The Birds and the Bees", he said a male has a penis and a woman has a vagina.
I hope they aren’t teaching woke geography in Florida.
Do you have the nine-quads that surround your home?
Gazetteers and Township maps.
“Geography is everywhere!”
Are you doing matinees in Ybor this weekend?
Let me know, I’ll pay the cover.
5.56mm
Municipal grids, etc.
That’s what I thought.
Wokeism infects everything these days.
