Welcome to #DuboisChallenge2025 where over the next 10 weeks, we encourage the community to re-create visuals created by W.E.B Du Bois for the 1900 Paris Exposition. This year's theme is "Economics". In this thread I'll describe each visual. See: https://github.com/ajstarks/dubois-data-portraits/blob/master/challenge/2025/README.md

@willaful People's fantasy lives are a SHADOWLAND.

Me, I'm profoundly confused at the viewers who think Ted and Rebecca are soulmates, I see absolutely no basis for that interpretation. (And surely she's not going to KANSAS with him for goodness' sake.)

@shanaqui <shrieks> That's amazing, thank you so much! I will be in touch.
@shanaqui I'm recommending Robert Sullivan's RATS, about how rats, too, have built a metropolis on the same island I live on. Extremely interesting and surprising.

It's (British) World Book Day!

If you are outside the UK and would like a chance to win a book worth up to £20, please reply to this toot recommending a book (any book you like) in order to enter. Two winners will be drawn and we'll chat about the best way to get you your book (Book Depository, voucher for your local, etc).

Boosting appreciated, to help people find this (and the book recs!), but not at all required to win.

Check my last toot for a UK giveaway.

@davidabbottbris Oat milk, and you want a kind that isn't "barista edition" as it's called here - those are engineered to be thicker so they can be foamed. Just a regular one.
