Summer harvest X Christmas cheer 🍅 🎄
2025 was my first year with a garden & my own tomato plants. Couldn't resist turning my harvest data into a Christmas card.
Learned a lot about timing & placement -> more tomatoes next year. Here’s to growing things and skills, one season at a time! #DataViz

Say it louder for the CEOs and shareholders in the back.
the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

Can you tell I manage a feed primarily based off emojis and tags? Thought this was a very cute way to see my 2025 on Bluesky overview. Apparently on the "touch grass" scale, I am considered "Offline" and I am absolutely okay with that.

We said goodbye to my grandfather, Myron Schrag, last night. He was an incredible man who spent a lifetime dedicated to peace and social justice. I owe so much of who I am to his teachings and I will miss him so much.

Not a graph crime. They’re talking about two different facets of the same dataset. The chart is showing the share of all adults, while the text is specifically talking about young adults. Here’s the original charts from Pew.

Quite the pre-Thanksgiving news: Mayor Muriel Bowser will not seek a fourth term in office. That's a huge opening a mayoral race that still doesn't have any major candidates in it, but with possible entries from Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George and At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie.

Data journalism for the train nerds! It me, the nerd who would give my kingdom for high speed rail between DC and NYC and Chicago. 📊
This is the most fun thing I've seen in a while: edition.cnn.com/interactive/...
What if the United States had high-speed rail?
High-speed rail is a proven alternative to gridlocked highways and overcrowded airports. CNN has reimagined a faster, more connected future for US commuters.
