    A hundred years ago, no raccoon had ever lived wild in Germany — today, one is probably rummaging through your trash right now. If you live in Kassel, that is. My latest Weekly Chart on the 20th century's great raccoon escapes: 🦝 blog.datawrapper.de/raccoons-invas…

    Come be my colleague! We're looking for TWO new faces in communications — a second data vis writer to join me on the blog as well as an evangelist for workshop and video formats. Feel free to get in touch with any questions about what it's like to work at Datawrapper 🌟

    How do you prefer to read charts in your right-to-left language? Please weigh in and share! (Readers of other RTL languages like Urdu, Persian, etc. also very welcome to comment 📉)

    A question for all Arabic and Hebrew-speaking people out there: In a #dataviz in your language with a date/time x-axis, would you prefer it to go from right to left, or from left to right? (Polls in the next tweets!) Examples: datadashboard.health.gov.il/COVID-19/gener… & inkyfada.com/ar/2021/08/20/…
