Spicy music version here

One piano note per collab post. The more accounts on a post, the higher the note; posts on the same day ring together as a chord. A dot lights up when its account is on the post. April 2022 to October 2026 in 100 seconds: a few lonely notes for two years, then 30 a second.

Month by month

Card: collab posts per month, split by who owns them, and new accounts per month with a running total. — Blue = TB owns the post; gold = the other account owns it, with TB as collaborator. Bottom: accounts collabing with TB for the first time.

The biggest partners

Card: TB's 20 biggest collab partners in order of arrival, each one's collab posts as ticks. — Each tick is one collab post: blue above the line = TB owns it, gold below = the partner owns it. @tbfrescue and @timballardfoundationecuador are on 527 of the 1,004.

Year by year

Everyone co-present with TB on a post, one year at a time: 6 accounts in 2022, 17 in 2023, 19 in 2024, 164 in 2025, 260 in 2026 so far.

2022: accounts co-present with TB on Instagram, as a clock with TB in the centre — 2022. Clockwise from 12 = order of first co-presence that year; inner ring = most posts with TB; links between two other accounts run round the outside. Plain version in the data folder.

2023: accounts co-present with TB on Instagram, as a clock with TB in the centre — 2023. Clockwise from 12 = order of first co-presence that year; inner ring = most posts with TB; links between two other accounts run round the outside. Plain version in the data folder.

2024: accounts co-present with TB on Instagram, as a clock with TB in the centre — 2024. Clockwise from 12 = order of first co-presence that year; inner ring = most posts with TB; links between two other accounts run round the outside. Plain version in the data folder.

2026: accounts co-present with TB on Instagram, as a clock with TB in the centre — 2026. Clockwise from 12 = order of first co-presence that year; inner ring = most posts with TB; links between two other accounts run round the outside. Plain version in the data folder.

Why the owner matters

Instagram leaves a post's owner off that post's own collaborator list. A post another account owns, with TB as its only listed collaborator, sits on TB's grid looking like a solo TB post. Our earlier table read it that way and dropped it: 618 posts, 295 accounts. Reading the owner of every post on TB's grid puts them back: 1,004 posts, 423 accounts. Most of TB's collabs are on other accounts' posts.
