oh my god this ad from Zohran Mamdani... https://www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-see-this-mamdani-ad/

I'm literally crying.

I've written a short blog post introducing "The Art of Visualization with ggplot2"!

This book is all about the end-to-end process of creating charts with #ggplot2 📊 including data wrangling, sketching, and styling your plots!

People who use screenreaders, I have a question about graphs as images in the Gender Census report.

Would you rather the alt text/image description was:

1) A very brief description such as "bar graph", and a link in the caption (under the image) to the Google Sheet containing the actual data and the graph

2) The numerical data as alt text, e.g. "nonbinary, 30%, 594. genderqueer, 25%, 456. etc."

3) Either of the above is fine

4) Something else that I have not anticipated!

I am begging writers & writing-related-workers of all kinds—but especially people working in journalism and blogs—to stop using “AI art” to accompany your writing.

Please have solidarity with your fellow creative workers 💜
