In January, I wished for a creative 2025 ✨ A quick mid-year review made me realise I need to push myself outside my comfort zone more 😅
Do you manage to work on your #dataviz goals?
My wishes for a creative new year: 1. More processing/p5.js data viz 2. More data viz with physical objects 3. More data viz consistent with the subject matter (use of icons, images, textures...) 4. Wander further away from data viz specific tools and experiment more Mid-year review: One creative wish out of four implemented (wish number 3). For an area plot and a treemap plot I used images to reflect the causes of deforestation.

The 17th of Nov 2019 is marked by HKers for the Siege of Poly U.
A year later on 17th Nov 2020 our Thai friends suffered police violence, water cannon & tear gas at the #ม็อบ17พฤศจิกา #กูสั่งให้มึงอยู่ใต้รัฐธรรมนูญ protest.
55 protesters were injured & like some poly U protesters, some are still jailed.

Im just mad and sad a lot right now

Because this is apartheid , slavery, SA

These folks say outright they want this

And no one has actually said

“No we don’t “

Instead you have folks arguing that fighting slavery and gestapo raids is a “distraction”

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

As part of the ceasefire, Gaza has been split in half by the so-called ‘yellow line,’ where Israel’s military controls just over 50% of the Strip. Palestinians are being killed for trying to cross or even get close to the line.

Or in the case of COVID, the NYT told the horrible truth early on but, along with the rest of the media, downshifted to the more soothing “it’s mild/like a cold” narrative for the return to “normal” in 2021/22. From June 2020:

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

More than a dozen Israeli soldiers spoke to ITV for their new documentary Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War, about how their army’s two-year campaign in Gaza involved shooting unarmed Palestinians en masse, using teenagers as human shields, and flattening entire neighborhoods without pretext of any threat. One soldier recalls a man on a roof hanging his washing. A tank brigade 700 meters away decided to label him a “spotter” with no evidence of threat, and blew up half the residential tower, killing and injuring many civilians. Another remembers two teenage boys quietly pushing a cart, and Israeli soldiers deciding to shoot one in the head, adding: “If they walk too fast, they’re suspicious. If they walk too slow, they’re suspicious. They’re plotting something… If you want to, you can always find a reason to incriminate someone. If I wanted to, I could incriminate the entire Strip.” “Eli,” another soldier, said his commander reported their unit killed 112 “terrorists” at the end of their deployment— before admitting only one was even suspected of being armed. Soldiers said they were ordered to “ignore international law” and told to “take revenge on them all.”

It’s pretty simple. Israel uses white phosphorus as part of its ecocide against Lebanon, to render as much of the South as possible unliveable for human beings.

They dynamite entire villages, cause forest fires with drone strikes, uproot countless olive and other trees, and kill the soil.
whitephosphorus.info WhitePhosphorus.info @whitephosphorus.info · 6d
NEW: We’ve added 53 more white phosphorus strikes to our archive whitephosphorus.info, bringing the total to 248 verified and geolocated incidents across South #Lebanon (2023–2024).

The IDF says these were used as smokescreens, away from civilians.

Our findings show otherwise. 🧵
