Finally reached my first 1️⃣ Hundo at Hendo. 💪🏾

I swear, the best decision I made for my mental and physical health this past year is joining #F45.

Love my fitfam. 🥰

ATTENTION #rladies #rstats - @jonthegeek.com NEEDS HELP!!

Awesome community initiatives like #TidyTuesday don't just happen and many hands make light work.

There are functions in the `tidytuesdayR` package make it easy to curate a dataset

LISTEN UP, Y'ALL! Do you have a dataset that you could submit to #TidyTuesday? This could be your first foray into contributing to open source! Let's give Jon some runway! I know we can do it.

Could be a subset of public data! Could be your own! I can help!

Hello #dataBS (& especially #TidyTuesday) fam! I'm trying to organize a thing to help me keep TidyTuesday running smoothly, but first I need to get a bit of a runway. Every week I curate a TT dataset, and it's wearing me down. Please see github.com/rfordatascie... for some ways you can help! #RStats

Went back to F45 after two weeks of being sick… I have not felt this level of soreness and exhaustion in a while 🫩🫠😫

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like your own sickness or that of someone close to you is sadly a really good catalyst to reevaluate how high on your list of priorities taking care of your health is. Whoever needs to hear this, prioritize you and your family’s health over everything else.

Random thought: if you have health insurance that covers it, make sure you’re getting your annual physical and associated blood work done every year. Especially men, who are notorious about not seeing doctors regularly. Preventative medicine is the real MVP for taking care of your health.

"There's no small jobs, only small people."

Volunteering has always been my passion. After my trial-by-fire experience preparing 2019 tax returns during lockdown, and returning as a preparer in 2021 and 2022, this year I served as a greeter for my fourth year volunteering with the IRS VITA program.

#TidyTuesday got a big shout out from @cararthompson.bsky.social and me today on the #dsHangout - TidyTuesday is whatever you want it to be, but more than anything, it's a crowd-sourced collection of data sets stored as CSV files that you can practice with, TEACH with, & post about!
