Wow #rainbowR conference was a blast! Even in these dark times, we have our community. Hoping this would be annual event! #rstats

The world feels quite precarious right now—and sometimes we forget what it feels like to pursue happiness. @alv9n.com digs into a study that asked more than 10,000 people to share their joy. From personal growth to friends and family, here’s our happiness mapped. pudding.cool/2026/02/happ...

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

Me starting a fight in trivia by saying that Andrew Lloyd Webber is so much better than Sondheim. Webber gives us whimsy with jellicle cats and rollerskating trains. Sondheim gave us some 35 year old guy who doesn't wanna get married! BORING.

Very excited to see some talks at the #rainbowR 🌈 conference tomorrow. Many #Rladies will give workshops and attend so please feel welcome to tag this account if you post about it. Also, let me know in the comments if you will attend! 📈🌈 @rainbowr.org #RStats Program: pretix.eu/rainbowr/con...

Hi, I’m this week’s curator, Josi! I‘m a PhD student in statistical genetics 🧬 and use #RStats to do #SEM. I dabble in #DataViz and recently wrote my first #Rpackage. My hobbies are reading #Fantasy books 📚 and #maximalism. You may catch me at a conference matching my outfit to my poster 🤓🧜🏽‍♀️ #rladies

I have a weird obsession with keeping my sidewalks clean in a snow storm. So I'm going out every hour to shovel. My wife is worried about my health so I've been lying and saying I'm really going to get cigarettes.

MAYHEM! MAYHEM! MAYHEM! ROUND 2! BE THERE

The most important milestone in my 32 year of life

Make bad art. Make uncertain art. Make indifferent art. Make confused, and confusing, art. Make uninspired art. Making bad art is the essential and irreplaceable aspect of making great art, next time

Caught 10 minutes of the #opera Grounded. This is legitimately the worst theater I have ever watched. The composer Jeanine Tesori wrote Shrek the Musical and that is 1000x time better artistically (no joke).

Fun side project: So my wife and I are avid experimental cooks (Caitlin made pasta with raisins and blue cheese this week). Great for interesting dinners, horrible for reproducibility. I started a #quarto website to track our dinners. Dedicating some good recipes to its own blog post.

like 98% of Koreans, I have the gene that makes me unable to produce the standard armpit BO. having to buy my white wife a new deodorant gave me a headache from the decision fatigue - why are there so many kinds? oh my god

Hey, #databs and #rstats - would you forgive me using these hashtags to ask for help finding a new area to live? My husband and I need an affordable farm-ish to move to in the #NewEngland area! Where do you love to live?! We need >= 1 acre + access to medical, & can't afford to live near the coast

I'm not one for emoti(c)on-filled LinkedIn blurbs, but I still wanted to share some news about how the first year of my PhD went. So here's an accidentally-essay-length recap instead: tinarozsos.github.io/news/251014_...

East European grocery store near us has a deli. i think my favorite thing in the world is “herring under a fur coat” (left)- a layered salad with apples, potato’s, pickled herring, carrot, and beet. I adore it like crazy

I love this image.
