Im too new to pick a favorite 😅 but I think they both have their strengths. Flourish more interactive but limited with its templates, and datawrapper is a bit cleaner and I’ve heard it’s better with maps!

Hi Magda, I'm pretty new to dataviz and I've worked with Flourish, but Datawrapper's another one to check out if you don't know it already

Okay this got long, feel free to share your climate poetry!

@jksteinberger.bsky.social tied this all together with her article on “cataclysm capitalism.” It includes a hopeful blueprint for resistance that you should read: theguardian.com/commentisfre...

it’s clearer than ever that we are all fighting the same battle for a just and livable world.

Climate has fallen from the headlines as we’re barraged by other waves of oppression, deregulation, destruction, but across our movements, the target is the same.

With the rise of fascism around the world, the attacks on science, journalism, social support programs, with the illegal deportations in the US, the campaign against migrants and trans folks, the gutting of environmental justice and protection legislation, the erosion of labor organizing—

I’ve been leaving the zine in cafés, sharing with friends, and handing them out at demos with the hope that it might give someone the support they need to keep fighting. I hope it does the same for you or those in your circles.

You are defending humanity now and of the future.
You are defending those not yet born.
You are defending the vulnerable, the oppressed, the stepped-upon.
You are defending the defenseless.
You are defending yourself
and all you love.

Remember:
You are defending the waters, the sky, the soil.
You are defending the Earth, your one home.
You are defending its countless growing beings,
its plants, its creatures: your siblings in life.
You are defending the immune system of your hurt and feverish planet.

Remember the soft place in your heart, that place that you protect, where you keep your kindness, your care, your fire.
That place from which you first understood that the world needed saving.

When they beat their riot shields against you, stand strong.
When the bullets and tear gas fly, stand strong.
When they drag you away to jail, stand strong.
When you can stand no longer, stand strong.

At the front lines, from the sidelines, in the shadows, stand strong.

When they say, “Now is not the time for action,” stand strong.
When they punish you for speaking out, stand strong.
When they steal your land and evict you, stand strong.
When they mean to break you, when they try to shut you up, stand strong.

When your government makes a deal with the devil, stand strong.

When your politicians betray you, stand strong.

When your police protect only profit, stand strong.

When greed reigns, when the law of your day can be bought, stand strong.
