I've been talking with an academic researcher who is interested in speaking with people who have shut down their fediverse servers, for any reason.

I know it's a touchy subject so I didn't want to just refer her directly to people, but if you are seeing this message and you're interested, please DM me and I will give you her email. I did a 1-hour interview with her on more general topics and really enjoyed the experience.

(Boosts appreciated!)

Had lunch at Pane Bianco and then went next door to Lux Coffee for beans & sweets. Now it’s raining. Perfect Monday afternoon in Phoenix.

It's always a struggle to show junior-level data analysts how to offer potential explanations and opinions for what they report when they feel their main job is simply presenting the numbers.

What are some ways that you have coached writers toward accounting for the numbers they share with stakeholders?

Here are some funny pics of my kid looking like the nerd emoji after her orthodontic device created a space between her 2 front teeth. These are her "screen glasses" for blue light-blocking. We thought this was hiLARious.
