I started a thread in March asking for examples of data visualizations that focus on the human cost of violence, tragedies, and disasters. Today, the course I built with those examples is out on the Open Visualization Academy, free for everyone: openvisualizationacademy.org/courses/visu...

I plan to keep doing this work; to push the boundaries of visual storytelling and finding new ways to make complex information clear, engaging, and human. If your organization is expanding or investing in visual storytelling, cartography, or graphics, I would love to chat about opportunities.

A little late update here: A month ago, I was laid off from The Washington Post, along with hundreds of my colleagues. I’m incredibly proud of the reporting and visual storytelling I’ve done over the past five years, alongside some of the best journalists in the industry.

New at @washingtonpost.com: Trump wants to build a *250-ft-tall arch*, for America’s 250th anniversary The structure would tower over nearby memorials — changing DC’s skyline and blocking views of the Lincoln Memorial It’s also spooking experts who say it’s just too big

Trump wants to build a 250-foot-tall arch, dwarfing the Lincoln Memorial
The president is eying a plot of land near Memorial Bridge. The art critic who proposed the idea called for a smaller arch or for Trump to pick a new site.

I spoke with the art critic, Catesby Leigh, who proposed original idea — a 60-ft temporary arch. Trump has enlarged it and plans to make it permanent, alarming Leigh and others who say it threatens DC vista and history @hannahdormido.bsky.social @timmeko.bsky.social show how views would change

Come with me to Lander, Wyo. to meet Bill, Lee and Barb. They were supposed to be retired from the Forest Service. But they're back as volunteers — driving 100s of miles a week, cleaning 5 bathrooms a day — determined to protect forests Trump abandoned. wapo.st/4r4727z

They retired from the government. Now they’re back, protecting forests Trump abandoned.
The U.S. Forest Service lost thousands of workers under Trump. Volunteers and retirees are trying to help — but things are breaking.
