Hello! I'm back to talk about R community. This is a thread about @rainbowr.org, a community for LGBTQ+ folks who code in R 🌈
I know previous RoCurs have talked about rainbowR, but as the co-founder and co-lead of the community, I can't not write this thread!

I can't (yes I can) believe I am sending out another email to archaeologists asking them to do a few more Skype a Scientist sessions for LEGO league. But here we are. Putting our scientific network to the test. Really learning the limits here this semester, whew.

Make bad art. Make uncertain art. Make indifferent art. Make confused, and confusing, art. Make uninspired art. Making bad art is the essential and irreplaceable aspect of making great art, next time
make bad art because some of the worst people you know are making even worse art and literally nothing you make will be that bad.
make bad art!!! it's better than making no art!!!

Caught 10 minutes of the #opera Grounded. This is legitimately the worst theater I have ever watched. The composer Jeanine Tesori wrote Shrek the Musical and that is 1000x time better artistically (no joke).
