Great read from @parabole.bsky.social on how a winding career path can make you better at what you do. My background is in Engineering, Accounting, Manufacturing Ops, Marketing and Product Dev. What's your background, and how did it lead you to data visualization?

With the influx of dataviz people, let's do some re-intros. 📊

— What's your claim to fame? ✨ —

How might we know you already?
What have you done that we might have seen or read before?
What would help us remember how we came across you?

Don't be shy: it's helping us reconnect and remember you 💡

Hey dataviz people around here 📊What are your most creative solutions for visualising data (in a bar chart, most likely) when the category labels are really long? And cannot be shortened?

To add more complexity, it needs to read nicely on a mobile screen 😇Curious to see your best examples!

Let’s start a thread: what independent journalists and outlets do you follow to get your news?

I’m thinking of non-traditional and non-mainstream people who will give you the truth. There seems to be a wave of journalists launching their own publications and I’d love to support that more. 📝
