#dataviz art!
illustrated chart showing a line for Australia's total medals won at each winter olympics, rendered as a snowy mountain ski slope with little cartoon characters snowboarding and skiing down it
PEAK SUCCESS: Australia just keeps doing better at the Winter Olympics - here's how our medal tally has grown over time.
This graph also ticks off a long-standing ambition which is to turn a line chart into a sick snowboarding/skate course 🤘
This is what you mean by accumulation, right @capitalweather.bsky.social?
Yay!! Congratulations Frank!!
Get yourself some copies if you don’t already have them! They’re great reads and beautiful to look at, featuring all kinds of #dataviz from authors across the community.
For the #dataviz & bird lovers 🪶
FYI if you'd like an easy way to add pronouns to your profile & posts, there's labelers that will do that for you.
Woke up to one of the weirdest TFRs I've ever seen. Shout if you know anything, AlexJamesFitz.58 on Signal. www.axios.com/2026/02/11/f...
Laughing so hard that Musk gets his own filter
Hi neighbor!
We might be small, but the #dataviz community on Bluesky is mighty!
📊 New from me and Hans Nichols @axios.com: What could the House map look like if Democrats surpassed Harris in the midterms? Play around with an interactive map:

Hey #dataviz folks looking to work with one of the best in the business 👇
Had to brush off my Leaflet skills a bit for today's story by Axios Richmond. VA Dems just released their new maps. Here's the side by side comparison to show you what's changed. 📊

The Post was foolish enough to unleash a bevy of the world’s most talented multi-disciplinary journalists out there for their competition to scoop up. These are some of the most hard working and skilled people I know.
Save this one and reshare it please! 📊
News: I was cut yesterday in a newsroom-wide layoff affecting 300+ staff at The Washington Post.
I spent the last decade leading and building the award-winning Graphics team. I'll miss them.
I'm now exploring senior graphics, cartography, or leadership roles. Intros welcome.

If you're hiring for #dataviz or data journalism openings, here's a list of some truly excellent people you should reach out to.
I love the Washington Post. I've been a subscriber for many years.
The Post’s coverage has enriched my life and is indispensable to my work as a policymaker.
I think I speak for many when I say it is heartbreaking to watch Jeff Bezos run the Washington Post into the ground.
I’ve been a longtime admirer and fan of Alyssa and her work. If you’re looking to hire an incredible #dataviz journalist, you should reach out!
It is apparently not good. I've seen at least three posts from folks laid off from the Graphics team, and they all mention that a "huge chunk" of the team was impacted. :(
How awful. They're some of the best data & graphics journalists anywhere. They deserve better.
If you end up getting the crown done, you should ask them if they do touchups at your next regular check up. I had one done, spent 6 month grinding my teeth bc of *gestures at everything*, & my dentist was kind enough to fix it for me at no cost. Not sure how common that is, but it was appreciated!
“May your critics be constructive/and help you hone your craft” is very good too! Appreciated you sharing this snippet.
The last few weeks I've seen a lot of great job opportunities shared, listing a few that stood out to me in the mapping/cartography/visual journalism space:

It really is. Happens quite a bit with random screenshots. We saw one the other day where someone had posted a map of ours to /r/dataisugly 💀 They had shared a mobile screenshot of a cartogram and were bitching about why it wasn't a map. Which it was...on larger screen sizes. Drives me bananas.
I need to make this a permanent bookmark so it’s at the ready
That too! I think people critiquing often forget that there’s a whole lot of constraints of various kinds. It’s pretty rare to get free rein to create whatever you want for a visual.
I pretty rarely open the comments bc ya know, "never read the comment section" very much applies to all social media. But it's so jarring when you're just scrolling along, minding your own business, and then you see an out of context screenshot bashing something you worked on. Like damn, touch grass
