Hey dataviz people around here 📊What are your most creative solutions for visualising data (in a bar chart, most likely) when the category labels are really long? And cannot be shortened? To add more complexity, it needs to read nicely on a mobile screen 😇Curious to see your best examples!

Can you tell what I do in life based on my current reading list?😂📊

Let’s start a thread: what independent journalists and outlets do you follow to get your news? I’m thinking of non-traditional and non-mainstream people who will give you the truth. There seems to be a wave of journalists launching their own publications and I’d love to support that more. 📝

Is Taylor Swift a CIA psyop? No? Don't think so? What if you hear about it four more times? In our second post for Effect+Affect, Gabby and I unpack how "Truth by Repetition" can make absurd information seem more plausible and what it means for data communication 📊. effaff.com/repeat-after...

In collaboration with @datavizsociety.bsky.social, I started a spreadsheet of data visualization style guides. If you know of any that aren't on the list (docs.google.com/spreadsheets...) already, please add them and fill out this quick form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Got my copy of @katgreenbrook.bsky.social’s book and am already in love 📊

🎉🎉🎉 Big news: You can now create small multiple line charts with our new chart type “Multiple Lines”! Give each line its own panel, then sort, style, annotate, show lines on independent scales, and more. 📊 See what’s possible in our announcement post: blog.datawrapper.de/small-multip...

'The world is awful — The world is much better — The world can be much better', is a short article on why we are building Our World in Data. → ourworldindata.org/much-better-... I've just updated the data and made entirely new visualizations for it, as it is one of my most-read articles.

Wow!! 📊
