Extremely loosely connected to the theme of #30DayChartChallenge #Day17-Birds, but the bird flu and its resulting egg prices made a more creative Easter hunt necessary, and if tariffs go up might deem the whole tradition basically kaboshed. 💥🥚💥

Memory indeed fades to black: can you remember your first world event...did you live it or learn it? Two visionary graphics from #TheDataDesk 🧠

#30DayChartChallenge #Day9
Topic: Diverging
I explored memory in 2 parts. First, I shaded events by the US population that lived through them. Then I considered my own memory, focusing on events that are not anchored by my lived experience—or by my history classes.

#TheDataDesk #msjonesnyc #history
A list of historical events from 1925 to 2025 in gray text on a black background. As the list goes back in time, the gray text gets darker and harder to read against the black. This represents the diminishing number of people who remember events from their lived experience. At the top, 100% of the population remembers Trump's second presidency, but at the bottom, less than 1% of the population was alive during the Scopes Trial in 1925 (about teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. A list of historical events from 1925 to 2025 in gray text on a black background. Events around the late 1980s and early 90s are a darker shade of gray, making them more difficult to read on the black. This is a metaphor for the events for which I was too young to remember yet too old for them to appear in my history lessons. As a result, these are not committed to my memory by either my lived experience, nor by my classroom education. For instance, I was too young to really internalize the significance of events like the Berlin Wall falling; at the same time, outdated classroom textbooks presented maps with the former USSR for a number a years after the Soviet Union.

Who says there’s no data?! A fun one from #TheDataDesk
thedatadesk.bsky.social Emily Barone @thedatadesk.bsky.social · Apr 4
Here's #Day4 of the #30DayChartChallenge. Topic: Big or Small

As you can see, it's the small things that get to me.

Thanks to @msjonesnyc.bsky.social for being a good sport when I said, "This is gonna be a weird one, and also, there's no actual data."

#TheDataDesk #msjonesnyc #dataless #dataviz
An infographic entitled "What concerns me." On the left side is a series of circles representing "objects of worry." The circles are sized big to small, representing their physical size. The biggest one is "Rogue asteroids" and the smallest is "CO2 molecules." On the right side are corresponding circles showing relative levels of anxiety. The "Rogue asteroids" connect to the smallest circle (representing least anxiety) and the "CO2 molecules" connect to the largest circle (most anxiety). The idea is that some very big-sized things induce less anxiety than tiny things. From top to bottom, the list of worrying items is: Rogue asteroids, the power grid, my old car, dishes in the sink, a lone termite, microplastics, and CO2 molecules.

Remember snow? 🌨️ Here's a closer look from #TheDataDesk

It's #Day2 of the #30DayChartChallenge. Topic: Slope!
Ski season is winding down in the northern hemisphere. Climate change threatens to wind it down for good.

@msjonesnyc.bsky.social and I added a little whimsy to an otherwise sobering trend line.

#TheDataDesk #msjonesnyc #dataviz #climatechange
A scatter plot showing ground snow levels in Vail, Colorado, between 2007 and 2025. Each point on the plot represents snow level readings at 10,300 feet on the first day of each month from January to May. The trend line indicates a decline over that period. There's a little silhouette of a downhill skier on that trend line.

We're told to stay away from religion & politics, so what better way to kick off the #30DayChartChallenge than looking at both?

Huge thanks to the talented Heather Jones @msjonesnyc.bsky.social for lending her design chops!

#dataviz #PieChartsAreNotEvil #TheDataDesk
Two pie charts showing the religious makeup of those who lean Democrat and those who lean Republican. Christians account for about three-quarters of Republicans and about half of Democrats. 35% of Republicans are evangelical compared to only 12% of Democrats. On the other hand, 18% of Democrats are atheist or agnostic, compared to only 5% of Republicans. Mainline Protestants and non-Christian faiths (Jews, Muslims, Hinus, and Buddhists) have roughly the same share in both parties, as do Catholics, who account for about 20% of each party.

If you're in NY through Feb 23, check out the Poster House's fab exhibition of Lester Beall's work. I created one of their winning animations from one of his amazing posters, combined with 80s classic: the Clapper. 😂

So sad to lose such a warrior, today of all days. RIP to one of our nation’s best ❤️

On a disconcerting day, this is perhaps the saddest thing. I recently interviewed her about her illness and more and she was and will always be an inspiration to me and so many others: 19thnews.org/2025/01/ceci...
Cecile Richards, former Planned Parenthood president and feminist activist, has died
Richards died Monday of an aggressive brain cancer. She was 67.
