Witness my shame from this morning. WITNESS IT.

Wow Wow Wow was this a good one. A huge thank you to @richmeister.bsky.social for joining us and sharing the awesomeness of {pointblank} (and his cool data set of his film ratings) with us on the #DSLab 😍 Thank you to EVERYONE who attended and asked such amazing questions on Discord!!

Join us tomorrow on the Data Science Lab where the awesome @richmeister.bsky.social will demonstrate live how to build automated validation pipelines and automated data reports with pointblank (mostly #RStats but some #python too!)! See you there: pos.it/dslab

#rstats reddit used to be so fun

Help. Do you use python notebooks (of any flavor) for data science/analysis work? Would you be willing to chat with me about your workflow? I haven't used notebooks since grad school (just haven't needed to) and I realized this week some of my assumptions need challenging! #python #pydata #databs

Ya girl has usually kinda driven some flavor of affordable used sedan, but she's about to buy a (less affordable) used 🔥 MINIVAN 🔥 and couldn't be more stoked 🤘🏼

A huge thank you from @ivelasq3.bsky.social and I to @kylieainslie.bsky.social for inviting us to visit the R-Ladie's Melbourne chapter for an hour tonight 😍 We had sooo much fun meeting everyone and answering all the questions we could about #rstats in Positron! (Which we're always here to answer)

We'll see you in less than an hour, Melbourne crew!! And night owl crew in the US, I suppose 🥳 Join us for a gentle introduction to Positron for #rstats RStudio users

In **1 week**! The fabulous @libbyheeren.bsky.social and I are giving a guided tour to Positron for RStudio users 💻 Join us for a live walkthrough of this cool tool. 📅 30th July, 2026 ⏰ 11 AM AEST / 8 PM CDT 🔗 www.meetup.com/rladies-melb... 💜 Thanks for having us, @rladiesmelb.bsky.social!

Be around kind nerds. It's the way. I love just learning new and random things that I'd likely never otherwise bump into! Just casually chatting with an #rstats or #python data person will inevitably surface a package, a library, a method, SOMETHING I've never heard of and it's the besssstttt.

Sister: you need to put stuff on a baby registry Me: but I don't need a bunch of stuff Sister: if you don't, people are gonna buy you stuff anyway and you'll end up with a mountain of stuff you didn't pick Me: how do I avoid both or either of these options Sister: that's the fun part, you don't

The spaces between meetings are not long enough to get meaningful work done. I know this. I know. And yet

What up, slide nerds?! Wait, are you NOT a slide nerd? Do... do you want to be? Join the nerd side. We have #Quarto slide themes 🤓 And we have EMIL, which might be even better! Come hang out with us tomorrow on the Labbbb! #rstats

Isabella Velásquez@ivelasq3.bsky.social · last wk.

Do you dabble in Quarto, and really want to make slides that make people go, wow 😯 Learn from the amazing @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social tomorrow, where he will demonstrate the ✨ art of slidecrafting✨ for creating reusable, custom slide themes. Hope to see you there! pos.it/dslab

AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE

When you manage to be still, you might just get lucky enough to become part of the scenery!

I’ve been standing stock still in this wood for about 10 minutes while I mess about with a photo on my phone. I look up, notice the shape, and slowly crouch down to film This has made me so happy I feel I could cry. It’s as close to magic as I hope to get.

Wanna see some freaking cool extensions for magical Quarto slides in #rstats? Emil joined us on the #DSLab to share a HANDFUL of the amazing things he's built, like animated chat bubbles, & even click/drag element editing 🤯 Emil: @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social Lab: pos.it/dslab ▶️ youtu.be/vQbhFORULJc

AMAZING opportunity to watch Nicola Rennie, the #TidyTuesday QUEEN, create data viz & see her showcasing the utilities & pkgs she's developed over the years to streamline her process in #rstats Thank you, @nrennie.bsky.social for joining us on the #DSLab!! 👉🏼 pos.it/dslab ▶️ youtu.be/hrRU2C5r5kA

My parents are don't-understand-people-have-jobs years old now

My husband eats frozen pizza. A lot. Like, he's on this whole kick. And I CANNOT EAT SAID PIZZA for gluten and pregnancy-related reasons. This frozen pizza cooks in the oven and fills my house with DELICIOUS SMELLS that my nose likes. I know this should not make me want to murder him, but it does🔪

Watching the American people rally around @tacobell.bsky.social has actually been... heartening? I can't explain what I'm feeling right now. I don't even eat Taco Bell! (Ya girl can't eat the glutens, otherwise, you KNOW a pregnant lady would want to get down on a crunchwrap supreme)

Anyone in the US up for a late night cozy intro to Positron for RStudio users? ❤️ #Rstats crew, if you've been wanting to check out Positron, but overwhelmed by the VSCodiness of it all, come hang with us (while we hang with the Melbourne crowd!) and we'll take care of you.

Remember during the pandemic when we were all playing Among Us with people online? What's the best way to play with buds these days?

Sales pitch emails that get through my spam filter make my ADHD life so much worse 🫠 My brain struggles to find the emails that actually need to be replied to, even without the extra added noise of "did this get buried?" emails pitching tool demos Should I add "not a manager/has no budget" to LI?

Ever used a ggplot2 extension package (like ggbump, geomtextpath, ggdensity) and wondered how they were made? @ginareynolds.bsky.social, @libbyheeren.bsky.social, and I will create an extension from scratch, live, tomorrow on the DS Lab! In #RStats and #Python! Register here: pos.it/dslab

@cak.bsky.social reminded me I was on a podcast! And I was! Listen if you wanna hear about my love of video games, me missing recess in school, why Data Weasel™️ is in my bio, therapy, terrible advice, #rstats community, and how I stopped trying to be other people. www.spreaker.com/episode/peop...

The way you describe what you do vs. the way someone who knows you and your work well describes what you do would probably sound super different. You'd likely leave stuff out, like context, awesomeness, and the impact you have on other people. I dunno, just ask a bunch of people what you do, ok?

When I was younger, I used to dream of being successful at work, but that was before I knew about the misery of The Emails.
