You and @datacitron.bsky.social did a fantastic job. We could see the joy and passion you both have for the book and it was so fun seeing the behind the scenes.

And yes, all for not having to haul a heavy bag of books! 😂

It’s the chART virtual book launch at #outlier2025 - here’s @nadiehbremer.com and @juliebrunet.bsky.social appearing remotely, with @zanewolf.bsky.social proudly displaying the real book! Can’t wait to get hold of my copy (frustratingly 3000 miles away from me at home right now!)

Oh.......welp.

Picture of a sentence, "Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusive standards have become established practice in global tech firms both when hiring and when developing new products." In light of recent governmental changes, this hits different.

This week's #dataviz book was sent to me by a former MICA classmate and I can't be more excited. Not just for learning more about #inclusivedesign but because it is awesome to have found incredible people thru MICA, WID, and DVS and we're able to share and contribute to each other's journeys.

A boon laying on a wood table titled "Design for All? Inclusive Design Today", and a greeting card sent by my friend with the book.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Tweet from Scott Jennings, saying "um, yes, that's really a problem," with a quoted image saying "The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality right-wing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence, people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly aren't usually on our side."

How much do you think exploratory vs explanatory factors into this?

Great answer! :) How do you choose which projects to talk about or show during interviews?

Do you practice elevator pitches for specific projects? What details matter most?

📊 W.E.B. Du Bois and Data Visualization in the Fight for Civil Rights

In 1900, Du Bois created 60+ charts to illustrate Black Americans’ progress at the Paris Expo. The Du Bois Challenge 2025 invites participants to recreate them using modern tools.

This leads me to wonder about the MVP of portfolio projects. Early career folks share whatever they have, generally, and working professionals share their best works, which could have taken months to make. But what bare minimum requirements would side projects need to meet to go into a portfolio?
