POV of me: Learning the hard way how important indentation is in Python... and then discovering extensions exist to visualize control flow chunks. You know. After the fact. 🫠

Been getting comfy in Python lately. Made this with Pillow. It was fun, clunky, and sprinkled with a lil' scrutinized vibe code 😅. “Pythonic” docs still trip me up (tidyverse spoiled me), but I’d love to help make them feel more approachable as I build in python more. Code: tinyurl.com/2ec7v6fn

Happy Halloween if you celebrate 🕸️🎃

I started learning Js and Ts this weekend. And yes, I feel quite undefined 😂

Yesterday, I actually stepped away from a computer and enjoyed nature. I’m sad my favorite season is ending, but it was an enjoyable walk.
A view through trees with golden and reddish leaves against a bright blue sky, with sunlight streaming through the branches and some leaves appearing to fall. Interior view of a vibrant rainbow-colored wooden structure with curved ribs painted in stripes of red, orange, yellow, blue, and other bright colors, creating a tunnel-like space with light filtering through. A wooden boardwalk trail winding through a forest, with railings on both sides and fallen leaves scattered on the wooden planks, surrounded by trees with golden and green foliage creating a sort of natural canopy overhead. A colorful outdoor art installation in featuring hundreds of multicolored sticks and branches arranged in a large nest-like structure by a tree trunk, with a wooden bench in the foreground and golden foliage in the background.

🎉 My R gen art package, artpack 0.2.0, is now on CRAN! You can read about the updates here -> buff.ly/s2vcm8g

2 years of dev work that made me realize I love development.

To celebrate, I've hidden hex stickers around #positconf2025 - some are holographic ✨! Can't find one? Ask me for one!"
two hex stickers for the artpack R package. both have a background of rainbow-colored waves with the artpack logo on top of it. One sticker is a regular print, the other is holographic.

I think it’s safe to say…I made it easy for anyone to spot me out in a crowd! 🧜🏾‍♀️💙 If you’re here in Atlanta for #positconf2025, feel free to say hello! 👋🏾

This weekend I learned about ogee curves, did some light dev work for artpack, and just enjoyed coding for something other than work for once. #rtistry made in #ggplot2 with some help from #artpack.
A diamond lattice pattern with a rainbow gradient effect against a dark gray background. The gradient transitions smoothly from red and pink on the left through purple, blue, cyan, and green in the center, finishing with yellow and orange on the right.

A diamond pattern on a warm purple background with geometric shapes in warm tones. The diamonds are randomly filled with bright pink, coral, orange, and golden yellow colors and arranged in a regular grid pattern with bold black outlines.

Last week, I was able to do an old Tidy Tuesday at work, and over the weekend, I had downtime so I did last week's Tidy Tuesday after a year-long break. I love art, but I also love trains, especially subways. So I HAD to do it.

Code here 💻 : tinyurl.com/3rd8ymxc

Map showing underground art installations throughout New York City's subway system, titled 'What is the underground art of the concrete jungle made of?' The map displays the NYC metropolitan area including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, with subway lines marked in black. Art installations are color-coded by material type according to a legend: blue dots for ceramic/glass, orange for metal, red for mosaic, purple for paint, green for other materials, and black circles for stations with no art. The map shows a high concentration of art installations in Manhattan, with numerous colored dots along major subway corridors. Art installations appear less densely distributed in the outer boroughs. Data source is listed as Data.ny.gov (MTA Permanent Art Catalog & MTA Subway Stations), with social media attribution to @meghansharris on various platforms.

Everything is chaotic and I'm just waiting for May. In the meantime, I am slowly working on my artpack package. I'm creating functions, group_sample(), group_slice() that allows you to quickly sample/slice entire groups out of data frames. #rtistry w/ #ggplot2 in #rstats

Just doing some iteration practice with the purrr package. Made in #ggplot2 with #rstats #rtistry #genartclub
An abstract generative art piece with randomly sized green and blue circle filling the page. The colors are various shades of blues and greens. The circles are loosely reminiscent of bacterial spores.

The merge conflicts I just had to resolve ya'll 😭

I can't comprehend how anyone in this country isn't enraged by everything that's happened (for decades) and continues to happen here. It's exhausting.

#rstats peeps. Did ya'll do #intro posts when ya'll migrated over here? Welp I'm here now! I still exist over on Mastodon and Linkedin, It's just hard to be active when you have a lovely (but feral) toddler to wrangle😅.

Here's some #rtistry made with #ggplot2 and the code: tinyurl.com/58mva62u
