Hello 🌍, hello 🦣.

I am Cédric, an independent data visualization designer, Consultant and instructor for engaging and effective graphical storytelling 👋

Over the last years, I have shared lots of open-source #dataviz, mostly generated in #rstats with #ggplot2.

I am looking forward to interacting with you and sharing the knowledge here on Mastodon as well!

This Guardian article on #UKHomeOffice recruitment for asylum decision-makers is extremely troubling:

The report of use of Lonely Planet Guides, rather than Home Office Country Policy and Information Notes ('CPIN') will be a further blow to public confidence in an already broken asylum-system.

Here is the link to my 2020 report analysing 31 Home Office
CPIN (and other) reports on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression:

Mastodon habits I'm trying to lock in, rather than revert to my Twitter habits:

1) use CWs liberally
2) when threading, set first post to "public" and the rest to "not listed"
3) don't forget the description text when posting images (had to work on that in Twitter too)
4) throw in hashtags like it was Tumblr or Instagram when you want to reach beyond your followers
5) pin and visit hashtags to find more people
6) boost a lot

Greetings, world.

Let’s give this thing a go.
