Hey vis.social!

I haven't talked about this much, but one of my long-time goals is to build a team and goals that can survive if I get hit by a bus.

Long time sustainability!

We've already come through my cancer diagnosis, treatment, and full recovery.

But we can do even better.

If you'd like to spend a few hours a week or month to help our community here, let me know.

Ideally, I'd like to have most folks in our community spend about 1 hour per month helping out.

#visSocial

By the way, vis.social folks have been well cared for by our amazing moderation team, while I've been offline!

I didn't want to announce my off-line traveling time before I came home, because I didn't want to risk adding more burden on them while I was away.

To those who noticed my quiet, and missed me? I missed you too!

📚 The Data Viz Bookshelf is back!

In this last book review of 2023, I learned about a narrative technique called AND-BUT-THEREFORE, which helps us structure data stories.

@wonderveilleuze @kristinHenry another reason for little activity on #infoplus2023 here is probably the current state of social media. there was a bit more activity on birdsite, but the alternatives to the fediverse (let's put it this way) do not interoperate and there is no easy way to follow what is being said across platforms. now thinking back to last week, maybe we could have had a #vissocial registration party (as a social activity). i assume many attendees would feel very welcome here…

The bookshelf pals are celebrating today!
Data Rocks is turning 4!

I did not know all that would happen when I embarked on this adventure in 2019, but I loved every data-filled second of it!
