Today's #tidytuesday data was from Netflix, curated by Jen Richmond from RLadies-Sydney #Rladies

Simple line graph where I got to practice re-formatting the axes and adding an annotation with a time-series x-axis :)

I tried re-creating this beautiful stacked area chart designed by Gilbert Fontana and posted here on the R Graph Gallery (lnkd.in/ehJGFjyb) to give myself some practice making annotations!

Mt.Vesuvius Eruption data for this week's #TidyTuesday curated by @libbyheeren.bsky.social !

Learned how to add shading for margin of error by plotting two lines as the upper and lower error bounds, then filling the space between them with an alpha value of 0.45 (to appear sheer)

For today’s #30DayChartChallenge prompt - Time Series, I plotted the number of snuggles from our cat that my husband gets while WFH. He’s been recording this to help me build a cat-snuggle dataset :)

Two birds with one stone, or two challenges with one penguin plot :)
Today's #tidytuesday is Palmer's Penguin data, and since showing all groups in the legend required me to figure out data masking, I'm using it for Day 15 - 'Complicated' of the #30DayChartChallenge

Looking at Pokemon data for #tidytuesday. Took me a bit to figure out how to get the bar colors to get their values from a specific column in the data frame. Eventually used chatgpt to find out how to get the groupings on the x-axis, but I'm less proud of that one so just posting the original

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

This was great! I loved your example: "It's like saying that because there are counterfeit bills in circulation, the entire U.S. economy is fraudulent"

If you're feeling stressed by the world, take a look at Cornell Lab's Great Horned Owl Cam at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Texas!

First #TidyTuesday posting is also a #PydyTuesday :)

This week's data came from Amazon's annual reports. I decided to visualize the most common terms in their reports throughout the last 18 years.

I like it! Stationary is so fun and satisfying.

I've recently started using pouches in my purse so that it's more organized. I've got a little pouch for lipgloss/hand lotion/personals/ etc., and another one for masks so that they stay clean.
