Hi 🦋! Finally migrating over here to reset and find some joy in social media again.

For any new folks, I am into data viz, cooking, cross stitch, sports, and R (especially ggplot2 and shiny!)

Some recent highlights: went on a family trip to Ireland 🍀 and became an uncle for the first time!

Waking up to devastating news for British trans people facing a truly awful ruling from their Supreme Court. This follows a manufactured campaign of lies, panic, and ignorance based on a playbook now unfolding in the US. I know the fight continues, but my heart is with you today and always

Extremely devastating news for transgender people in the United Kingdom.

So much of what we face in the United States has shared roots in that country, and this Supreme Court decision there will make people far less free.

Crackdowns on trans people are international, not limited to borders.
The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.

Hey look, we're introverts who hate the phone, too.
But we're dialing anyway.
You can, too.
We even have a handy script.
URGENT: APDU urges you to contact your representatives, regardless of their party affiliation, and let them know that you, as a constituent, believe that the loss of public data is unacceptable.

☎️ is most effective and takes just two minutes of your time.

Contact lookup and sample script in 🧵

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x

With all the recent Northern lights sightings, I wanted to share this cross stitch piece I finished last year. It was my first full coverage piece - 25 colors, 13K stitches over 9 months (thanks to a couple of back injuries)
