📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on!
“Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤
A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

FYI if you'd like an easy way to add pronouns to your profile & posts, there's labelers that will do that for you.
The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

Hey #dataviz folks looking to work with one of the best in the business 👇
Attention visual journalists: I’m always open to pitches for @sciam.bsky.social’s Graphic Science column. The column tells concise stories on topics in science via graphics (dataviz, illustrated diagrams, comic-style explainers, etc). It appears in both print & online. DM me for a pitch guide.

I spent the last decade leading and building the award-winning Graphics team. I'll miss them.
I'm now exploring senior graphics, cartography, or leadership roles. Intros welcome.

I love the Washington Post. I've been a subscriber for many years.
The Post’s coverage has enriched my life and is indispensable to my work as a policymaker.
I think I speak for many when I say it is heartbreaking to watch Jeff Bezos run the Washington Post into the ground.

One of the weirdest parts of designing #dataviz that are shared to a broad audience is reading the weird comments about them.
"Why would they do this? It's TERRIBLE!"
"BAD charts!"
"I would never X"
"Journalism is dead"
Like if ya'll only knew the amount of consideration that goes into every viz 😮💨

We found so many examples of missing federal government data that we couldn’t put them all in this story.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
