How do we visualize data so that it strikes the right balance between explanation and exploration? In this recent conversation with @catmule, we reflect on what we can learn from @DeniseDSLu's experience with data journalism at @BBGVisualData and beyond. stamen.com/data-storytelling…

As a long-time fangirl of @catmule and @stamen it was such a gift to talk about #TheSecretLanguageofMaps on the PLN8 podcast. It's hard to beat the moment where @catmule showed me the maps she'd made of my book about maps.

My studio mates and I put on an awesome show, themed “IRL” just before omicron went bananas. Check out @byalicelee’s thread to see what we made! And I have a lot more gingerbread content on my instagram if you like that kinda thing 😊

Replying to @byalicelee
@catmule made this awesome gingerbread house display of San Francisco (yes, that is 100% made of candy!!) including zines, tea towels, and a book she created about her family’s gingerbread traditions. there was also an interactive decorating section 🍬

Hi Twitter. I need your help. A few years ago, I had a freak accident that sent me into catastrophic kidney failure. I've been struggling to find a kidney donor ever since. I'm in dire need of a type O /- kidney and ask that you please share my story. #kidneyfordevon 🧵👇
