Just want to shout-out the @ire.org AccessFest Intro to Data Journalism session - I've always meant to pick up more data skills but it always seemed a bit daunting to me b/c I'm not a math/numbers person.

Hey @ire.org #AccessFest25 peeps. Attend Digital Accessibility Basics Saturday with @patrickmgarvin.bsky.social, Samantha Evans, and me. It'll be the best panel ever. Why? 1. Accessibility. 2. I did the slides, so it's badass. 3. The 3 people I mentioned above. schedules.ire.org/accessfest-2...
