  I'm finding some of the wide-sweeping takes surrounding "people should stay on Twitter" or "people should never use Twitter" very tricky to navigate... partially because there is enormous variance in personal benefit (which I'm not convinced is transferable) and personal risk (we know that it's an very uneven landscape of safety) I expect to be on Twitter less, but it also "costs" me less than many people to make that...

  As I'm gathering readings for my visualization course, just wanted to give a shoutout to @lisacmuth for all the outstanding vis posts that she has created over the years. Clear, easy-to-read, and rich with info: https://lisacharlottemuth.com/articles

  Until this morning, I used a phone with a web of cracks across it for 2+ years. You know the first time when you put on glasses and realize that trees actually have individual leaves that you can distinguish? It's like that, but mobile apps.

  This article is beautifully designed, but not letting people zoom into their local context is a missed opportunity. In 2019 interviews, we talked people who devalued overview charts like this because it was harder to find their home (what they care about!) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/28/climate/groundwater-drying-climate-change.html

  I'm in the beginning stages of building a new visualization research group at CU Information Science, but that didn't stop me from inserting myself into the intro lightning-talks at our first INFO seminar 📊❤️

  I have mixed feelings about the traffic I still get on this 2018 post about using Slack in my classes (https://medium.com/p/888c7e742d04). Today, I tend to prioritize communication consistency (what do students *already* use here?) vs. a bespoke configuration of tools for my courses.

  After years of hardly anyone using QR codes, our school district now sends images of QR codes in emails with no clickable links. 🤦

  Hi everyone - I haven't checked in here for months. While I've enjoyed this space, both my attention and posting habits are converging on bluesky. If you're over there, I hope you find me! 🟦 https://bsky.app/profile/evanmpeck.bsky.social

  It does not go unnoticed that faculty who invest their labor in some of the most critical societal problems can sometimes lag behind their peers in promotion - that work can be hard, slow, and invisible to scholarly metrics. All that to say: we should make sure to nominate colleagues who deserve to be recognized by the @sigchi Societal Impact award. https://hci.social/@sigchi/109394051991751769
