I'm coming back to this conversation after months because I just came across @nancyduarte.bsky.social's framing of explanatory as a step further from exploratory, adding value really. I personally feel this disregards the work of exploratory viz, but I'm curious to hear what other folks think 📊

From Christian saints to folk and pagan traditions, gift-bringers vary widely across Europe, and Father Christmas isn’t the only one delivering presents. In Eastern Europe, it's often Grandfather Frost (Ded Moroz), a jolly, bearded figure clad in a long coat.

Europe’s story isn’t just told in headlines - it’s in the data. "Europe, visualised" breaks down 33 key trends that define our continent. From migration patterns to societal shifts, this book offers a unique, journalistic approach to understanding Europe.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

Advice worth including on the first page of every data viz textbook? "A clever #dataviz that presents information its audience doesn't care about in a way they can't understand is useless."

Hello Bsky 🦋👋. Today , I made this chart 📊 for The European Correspondent, showing the boom we're seeing over on this side. I used Google Trends data, but I'm curious to know what other public sources you would've used to show this increase in popularity

Line chart showing multiple lines for Google searches on "Bluesky" portraying multiple European countries. Data is From August until mid November and shows a big spike towards the end.
