I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN. It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package. Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

I've given several talks at posit conf, but I've never gotten to give the "here's the super awesome new thing I worked on that I now get to share with you" kind...until this year! Come to the commercial products session to hear me talk about building container images with Connect, it is so coooool 😁

For the past year, I've been talking to dancers fighting for better workplace protections for pregnancy and parenting. It's a fight experts say is "unprecedented" due to long-standing cultural and structural challenges within ballet. And it's being led by artists themselves. Out now for ELLE:

ok does anyone know where I can find the “yup i’m an antifa”/“enjoy your water at the starbucks” video?

hard not to weigh Kotek's absurd vendetta against pre-school for all with this "oopsies" approach about our entire transit system and its workers.

daycare has lice and i just walked face first into a spider web, happy monday

If this describes you—if you, an adult, have lost the ability to make a turkey melt or think of a song that reminds you of your spouse, in like ~2 years’ time because of AI—then sure maybe AI should replace you in every life function but I don’t think we are all willing to go down with you

The Supreme Court just upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth. This is state violence, sanctioned from the highest court. Trans kids deserve care, safety, and autonomy—not cruelty codified into law. 🤬
