In today's edition of "Data articles I didn’t know I needed to read" 🧅✨ pudding.cool/2025/08/onio... #DigThisViz #DataStorytelling #UnexpectedlyBrilliant

Desperately need a word for when you hate the subject of a data, but like the visual. My latest combines a comparison chart & cartogram to show which states allow prisons to charge "pay-to-stay" fees. #dataviz

👀 Dataviz folks, anyone using Svelte 5 yet? 😗📊 Curious how it feels for visualisation work: 🟢 Easier? 🟡 Harder? 🔵 Ready for production? Also on the hunt for code starting points: drop links if you’ve got them! 💡 #dataviz #svelte

Wake up babe, @alv9n.com dropped his latest @puddingviz.bsky.social's project. #dataviz 📊

Signal boosting this 🧵. Whether you are a #dataviz professional or amateur, journalist or working in a corporate setting, it's all the same: don't ignore your responsibilities and ethics. Especially now.

"…there’s one nut we have not been able to crack: anchoring bespoke data visualization as a full fledged profession in corporate settings." Re-reading this article from 2017 (medium.com/visualizing-...), I wonder — where are we at 8 years on?

Thanks (or no thanks?) to @alexselbyb.bsky.social for mentioning this 'spot the wrong colour' game in the latest @economist.com 'Off the charts' #dataviz newsletter sent by @mariesegger.bsky.social. My Saturday morning productivity? Nonexistent! 😂

#Dataviz pros, I’d love your insights! 💡 Speaking to a corporate audience (incl. graphic designers) about the value of a data viz professional 📊 vs. a graphic designer 🎨. How do you explain what sets us apart while showing how we complement each other? Keen to hear your take! #DataVisualization

Researcher: "We let the data speak for itself." Earlier that day:

Calling the #datafam to the rescue! 📊 I'm looking for examples of #dataviz presented in a video format. Long, short, with voiceover or a presenter: anything that doesnt require interaction, just to watch. Got any favourites to share? 🙌 #DataVisualization #VisualStorytelling #DataVizInspiration

Mandatory new LinkedIn headline today ✂️ 👩‍💼 🏢 💧📊 🐐 🧇 #ifYouKnowYouKnow #severance

[Wrap up 2024] Creativity wise, I have stalled, as I have dedicated time and energy learning #d3, #Svelte and all the basics, eg #Javascript 😑 To wrap up 2024 on a cheerful note, I have crafted datavizreadytogo.netlify.app with everything I now know, with the goal to be more creative in 2025! 🌸

As someone who has been waiting very (im)patiently for the season 2 of #Severance, massive appreciation for @lisacmuth.bsky.social's #datavisualisation on the increasing gap between TV series season releases. blog.datawrapper.de/waittime-for... #dataviz

Recently found this beautifully animated vid in @pbump.com's 'How to read this chart' newsletter. Reminded me how dataviz goes beyond classic charts: it's about visualising info to understand how things work. Couldn't stop watching, even with my tiny attention span. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpao...

Hey #datafam! This Christmas, why not treat yourself (or someone else) to something to a paid membership to the Data Visualization Society? One of the best decisions I made. 1/

So far in the keynote we have “the state of Florida is run by alligators” and “not everything in this talk will be true”. Awesome start on Evil Dataviz from Eli Holder in collaboration with Gabrielle Merite at #outlier2024 📊

#Outlier2024 off to a cracking start as @elibryan outlines how charts are modified to be evil. Also, how Florida is run by alligators, how racism is an American tradition, and how not everything in his talk is true. Be ABSURD (or not).

Opening remarks by Outlier Director Julia Hennelly and Events Director Emily Kund. Executive Director @abmakulec.bsky.social building on the importance of communities in data viz. Our first keynote ‘Visual Villainy: How to Undermine Humanity with Data Viz’ by @elibryan.bsky.social

#DigThisViz I know it’s a 2022 piece, but it’s always worth reshare the work we love, right? Anytime I try to explain how #dataviz and interactive articles can make the complex more palatable, I revert to this piece by Yi Zhe Ang 📊

[Learn] Whether it's for dashboard prototype, background prep in #Tableau or any other Figma use case, I cannot recommend enough this 60 minute #Figma Crash Course by Erik D Kennedy

Summarising last week's Information+ Conference in Edinburgh is no easy feat, with one exhibition, two hours of Scottish dances, and 40 talks in just three days. However, I'll do my best! #infoplus2023

Farewell InfoPlusConf!! So many great talks, conversations, designers & thinkers!! Very sad😔 to be leaving, but so happy 😁 to have met / reconnected with such a great group of people!! 👋 Long live #dataviz !!

No context #infoplus2023 (will write a summary soon, but here’s the teaser for now)

Starting the #infoplus2023 talks with inspiration: Stefanie Posavec self reflecting on how she breaks the rules of #dataviz: actionable insights is not always the end goal

#infoplus2023 workshop about to start!

On my way to #infoconfplus2023, perhaps an optimal time to start engaging here. Hoping to meet many #dataviz professionals, and learn from them. Exciting program for the next three days!

If you’re in Edinburgh already and looking to meet up with some folk here for Info Plus Conf feel free to come along from 6 to this bar 👉🏼 theholyrood.co.uk (if/when that gets busy we'll maybe move on nearby to the larger brewdog.com/uk/doghouse-ed…)
