I just quit a job I had for 12+ years because I had been burning the candle at both ends for too long.
Still have 3 main projects (grant-funded project at MDI, APDU, & contributing to dataindex) plus fam & volunteer.
Right now 3 feels right.
I had time to read journal articles yesterday afternoon!

"I am all for a full and complete and accurate census. It just has to have the same values and principles of making sure that we’re using it only for statistical purposes and that it is truly full and complete."

"To me, that represents an attempt to undermine and sow doubt on existing data and to raise the specter of manipulating data going forward," says census advocate Meeta Anand of the The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (+APDU Board) about today's census news

Trump wants a new U.S. census to exclude people here illegally. It'd be unprecedented
Trump is calling for a "new" census that excludes people in the U.S. without legal status. The 14th Amendment requires the "whole number of persons in each state" in a key set of census results.
