Excited to have Sydney Purdue presenting the latest in our ongoing work on data theatre at the Input Visualization Workshop at @ieeevis this week. We found early evidence showing the embodied methods worked to create data and build cohesion in summer workshops. Preprint at https://osf.io/aeu5g

Media Cloud data bite: the US right is talking a lot more about "abolish ice" as a narrative vs the left. These are older partisanship collections, but clearly the right isn't focused on imagining a post-ICE country. ICE was only _founded_ in 2003.

Latest updates to my local protest mapper tool: had to remove ACLED due to new data restrictions, but CCC data was updated 2 weeks ago. Use it to make embeddable maps of protests in your area so far this year. Considering a bubble-map option since so many protests are happening in the same place 🤔 https://dataculture.northeastern.edu/local-protest-map/

Excited this week to be co-hosting a field building symposium on "New(s) Knowledge". Gathering researchers, civic technologists, funders, community-based organizations, journalists, and others working to understand and strengthen information ecosystems. Should be brain-filling!
