When I was first creating this set in 2021, @allitorban.bsky.social would create a pattern for each animal, then I would make the animal an outfit out of their own pattern. She just reminded me that this #crab got a set of bunny ears. So dashing! π

Podcast recommendation.
Itβs strange that this can happen on a one-way broadcast channel, but itβs all about community. Alli curates points of view from a range of data professionals, making a wonderful little internet corner.
Histograms of the distribution of ages for the top 50 professional womenβs doubles players in Pickleball and tennis. It shows that the distribution is wider for Pickleball. The distribution for tennis players is around 26 to 32 mostly.
Am I too old to be a professional pickleball player? π Probably π
BUT...
There's still hope! Hereβs the age distribution of the top 50 pro women's doubles players in pickleball compared to tennis. Isn't it amazing that 17 year olds and 44 year olds can compete at the highest level together?!π
Based on your suggestion, I just tried it tooβ¦wow! π«£ I also asked it to suggest areas of improvement and guided questions to help me work on those areas π€―π€―π€―
Aw thank you Charles!!!
I don't read enough #dataviz books of late, but I took a few hours for @allitorban.bsky.social's #chartspark last week. Well worth it: inspiring, concise, with practical tips you can put to use right away.
Bonus: now I have to revisit Alli's 100 π wallpapers project

Comic. First frame shows a clown fish with puffer fish and the clown fish is saying hereβs the data set. Itβs source the known limitations and it wonβt change unexpectedly in the next frame. The puffer fish is puffed up and has hearts.
