Both of these upcoming cohorts are sitting at about 1/3 full with a week to go. I'm really puzzled as to why registration has been so slow. Somewhat in desperation, there's now the code SIXTY you can use for 60% off registration.

Introducing VizDex! An ever-growing library of personal and independent blogs and newsletters dedicated to data visualization. vizdexproject.com

Next up at #outlier2025, Zan Armstrong introduces diagnostic charts - the middle ground of really useful charts beyond simple “explore” or “explain” charts - some fascinating science-inspired examples!

I've checked the box on "despair." Guess it's time to "get back to work." Inspired by @albertocairo.com's advice, in this new EffAff post, Gabby and I consider how simple visualizations 📊 of social change might encourage resilience on the path ahead. effaff.com/hope-despair...

One Million Applause for One Million Checkboxes 👏✅👏✅👏 Check out @itseieio.bsky.social's brilliant talk on games, connecting strangers, and how some very smart teens subverted his code and touched his heart ❤️‍🔥 youtu.be/j2elKdupD6c

This course not only introduced me to the world of birding but also reignited my interest in creative coding! It taught me what a fun/creative/supportive coding environment *could* look like, full of whimsical sketches and whacky ideas. Would highly recommend!

Love this!

project 1: Map Designer, a #dataviz tool and @figma.com plug in that simplifies the process creating and customizing maps in Figma! Had a lot of fun learning how to translate d3-geo's svg paths into Figma's vector networks. try it out and let me know what you think! www.figma.com/community/pl...

Wrote up a lil blog post about implementing a Beeswarm chart 📊 using Svelte 5 + D3! This is me learning/sharing as I go so I probably (definitely) got some stuff wrong 🙃 If you have a better approach for force simulations in Svelte 5 lmk! here.luisavasquez.com/thoughts/bee...

I'm going to run through all of the regional variants. One of the magic parts of this project is that while the code base is the same, the natural geography of the place and the human habits of the birders means they're all different in form and color. Ready? 🧵

What if each U.S. National Park had a cookie-cutter section removed and placed on a giant chessboard for easy comparison? My latest, with Wendy Shijia Wang: charts.substack.com/p/delicious-...

I am beyond thrilled to share that DATA BY DESIGN: AN INTERACTIVE HISTORY OF DATA VISUALIZATION, 1789-1900 is now open for community review at 💚 📊 dataxdesign.io 📊 💙. It's the work of 15+ people across 5 institutions, 2 continents, 2 babies, and a global pandemic. A 🧵 but first:

I was lucky to be paired with the amazing @hannahdormido.bsky.social as part of the @datavizsociety.bsky.social mentorship program over the past couple of months. We had weekly chats about life, careers, & journalism. And she guided me through writing a fun story! 📊👉 charlotte-walkability.vercel.app

NEW: Questions in Dataviz: How do we take inspiration from textile dataviz? Book review #27 reviews Record, Map & Culture Art by Jordan Cunliffe. A great book showcasing textile art to inspire all dataviz and data art practitioners, textile or otherwise 📊 questionsindataviz.com/2024/04/18/h...

A cool read on creating weighted, random distributions using excel to design a quilt thecrookedhem.substack.com/p/the-ellswo...

This one took a bit of work, but really like the quilting feel of it. Took my earlier #Generative #linocut and added half size stippled black triangles. Rotation of the stippled triangles also set by the roll of a d4. #GenerativeDice #dataart #dataviz 📊

📊 Two of the things Luisa Vasquez (@vluisa.bsky.social) loves are reading and sewing. So, when she saw a way she could combine her two loves while sprinkling in some data viz, she had to document her process in creating a quilt visualizing her 2023 reading list. nightingaledvs.com/quilting-my-...

I'm on vacation and that's why here's already the next Svelte ❤️ D3 video. This time: How to build a responsive map from a geojson file. 📊🗺️ ➡️ youtu.be/W7nkruZ2q0s

I’m excited to share a data art project I’ve been working on this month! It’s a quilt made using the data of all the books I read in 2023 📊

HOW TO GET STARTED ON DATAVIZ BLUESKY 📊 IN 9 STEPS If you're arriving here, you may wonder where is the dataviz community and how to partake in it. Here's a thread on how I suggest going about it. 🧵👇

@albertocairo.bsky.social ‘s new book arrived just in time for some airport reading!

Save the date for outlier conference! June 12-14, 2024 | Chicago USA Chicago is very lovely in June so that’s just an extra bonus.

Thanks for the invite @amycesal.bsky.social ! Going to share some of my data viz projects as I learn & grow. This is one of my favorites so far - a set of 4 coasters about the Colombian coffee trade (images show front & back of each coaster)
