@arobotwriting @urbaninstitute Aw thanks for sharing Rachel!!

Surveys and other data systems still rely on binary terms Male/Female. We are way overdue for a change. After digging into alternative ways to quantify our identities, Fe Simeoni made two data structures to better reflect the fuller #lgbtqia spectrum.

@bengarvey Font change? Huge week

@Wattenberger Coming from the #rstats world, when I realized how you define your own scales for aesthetics of the viz and how thats similar to ggplot2, it’s a nice framework for me to fall back on when I get overwhelmed!

[Ben Kates @benkates]

@kierisi Lots of friendly data folks here in Philly!

@profgalloway Interested in seeing the projection if covid didn’t happen

[Ben Kates @benkates]

I've been working on my first complex @d3visualization project for the last month and I have to say the #rstats data manipulation skills I've developed work so well with the "custom" aspect of custom viz! Very fun!

[Ben Kates @benkates]

@nicholashand Great work! Looking like a d3 viz?

@joekay I go back to ep 404 w @jrobbdaproducer again and again and again. Sharing with friends when they ask about Soulection, feeling inspired by the vibe and incorporating it into my own music production, just incredible. Trash series is amazing!
