Just wrapped up the first computational workshop in the fall on digital data collection with @yoojisuh at the MCRC @uw_sjmc ! 😄 It was such a pleasure to see both familiar and new faces coming together to dive deep into the discussion on post-API age of data collection and automation practices. 📊Thanks to everyone who joined us virtually and physcially! #ComputationalMethods #SJMCWorkshop

Watching my Ironman vegan husband @acerihughes fight prostate cancer has been so challenging. He’s post surgery and recovering, but everything about this is just shite. It can happen to anyone. Yesterday was his bday so if you know him send him some love.

She smeared her friend's blood on herself so that she could pretend to be dead, and wondered why no one was coming inside to save them. No child should ever have to live through this.
