I’m formulating a plan for inclusion efforts on vis.social, with the goal of making this a more diverse (and therefore more valuable and sustainable) social space.
But… I don't know what I'm doing! Please review and comment to me here, or in the doc:

“If you want to make a safe place to create... you have to start by making the most vulnerable people safe first. So you have to take the people who have been most marginalized, most pushed away from conventional tech and say ‘you are going to be at the center of this, you’re going to be the first people we reach out to, to say does this work for you? Does this meet your needs?’”

NEW POST: A further update about the Chartmaker Directory as it tip-toes towards its first anniversary of existence http://www.visualisingdata.com/2018/06/update-chartmaker-directory-2/
Under the sun
There's one spot in the world right now,
where the sun is exactly overhead,
and it's this one:
My book is due to hit its 2nd birthday next week. Seems like I finished it only yesterday but work is due to commence on the 2nd edition shortly. I'd be really grateful for any satisfied book owners to submit short positive reviews on Amazon (or wherever they bought it) to help shape the nature of this 2nd edition release. The more satisfied people are, the less likely I will face huge amounts of changes, edits and beyond-scope additions. Thank you in advance!
