GASP. Have you SEEEEEN all the new colors available in google calendar?! This almost makes me forgive them for ruining the Google Suite icons! It's almost... too many options 😮

The color palette in Google Calendar where you can change the color of an event. It's got 24 colors, including multiple shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. It also includes brown, light grey, and dark grey. There's a pencil icon above the palette that lets you change the labels of each color, and a button at the bottom that says Default with a blue check mark next to it, which changes the color of an event back to your calendar default.

Creamsicle implores you not to set off fireworks tonight ☹️ (We're prepping for the apocalypse here tonight)

Please note the drool spot that wasn't visible in the other photo 😂 R just gets him so TURNT.

Part of an orange and white tabby cat's face, and part of a laptop sitting on a blue lap desk. A circular spot of cat drool is on the lap desk.

Creamsicle is a huge fan of @cascadiarconf.bsky.social 😍 He's taking notes and jotting down all his questions for speakers 🤓 Anyone else have bald spots on their laptop from their terrible wrist posture? 😂 #CascadiaRconf #rstats

An orange and white tabby cat is curled up next to a woman watching a laptop and looking up at the camera. There's a blanket on the sofa behind the cat and you can see part of a woman's leg and torso.

Creamsicle is totally unbothered by his newfound YouTube stardom. What else should we ask him? #Rstats vs #Python? Tidyverse fan or #BaseRgirly? youtube.com/shorts/sFWNg...

Did you know you can search for R packages by what they do, as opposed to just their names? Look! 👉🏼 rwarehouse.netlify.app @kylieainslie.bsky.social made The Warehouse for just this purpose. Send it to a new R programmer today ❤️ because it's the resource we all wish we'd had at some point #rstats

GOSH I love hand-drawn icons, images, slides, & diagrams. @tladeras.bsky.social's posit::conf(2023) talk slides are such a great example. Every slide had my full attention, which I cannot claim for any other talk I attended that day in Chicago #rstats #databs Vid here: youtu.be/QfcC56gSC9g

A conference talk slide by Ted Laderas. The title of the slide says "Burnout Happened" and there is a hand-drawn picture below it. There's a face with x eyes and a squiggle mouth that looks very anxious. Around the face radiate out different phrases, which say "It's only me", "Me", "It's not enough", "It's not helping"

Fili is an innovator. The couch works better for him this way. I can see his vision.

A brown and white tabby lays on a back sofa cushion that he has flipped down onto the seat of a light grey sofa. His body is sprawled out on the cushion and his cheek rests on the arm of the sofa.

Really? Nine M&Ms 😂

A woman's left hand holds 9 Peanut M&Ms and an empty, yellow Peanut M&Ms bag. The bag is full-sized, not fun-sized.

My friend Mary gave this to me for my birthday last month so that I would have a little friend who represents how I feel anytime I have to use Jira, which is every day. #databs #thisisfine

A photo taken in a dark room. It's a close-up of a bookshelf ledge. There's a small toy on the ledge with books visible behind it. The toy is a rectangular plastic base with the words "this is fine" written on it inside a speech bubble. On top of the base is a figurine of a cartoon dog with very large black pupils wearing a hat, sitting on a wooden chair in front of a wooden round table with a coffee mug on it. Around the base are clear plastic flames lit up orange by lights inside the base.

Yaaaaaaas!! If I make hummus at home, I never get it smooth enough 🙈 even when I get all the skins off the chickpeas really well. I wonder what type of blender food manufacturers use! This is all that's in my favorite brand, and I also wonder if extra steaming would somehow help 😂

Libby Heeren@libbyheeren· May 28

I need everyone to know that chocolate hummus exists & that it's delicious, especially with pretzels, strawberries, or just by the spoonful. I know it SOUNDS weird, but it's GOOD If you're not lucky enough to have HEB stores, there are a few brands who make some! No clue what they're like, though 😂

I enjoy working in watercolor a lot, but #Procreate is absolutely magical for digital #illustration. Most of these brushes are standard/stock, but a few might be ones I downloaded. I'm not sure, it was years ago! #SongOfTheSea is one of my favorites 🐚🌊 If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it!

Libby Heeren@libbyheeren· May 23

I discovered my love for statistics/ #rstats in my early 30s Long before THAT was a love for music, words, & ✨animation✨ I illustrated these 3 frames from Tomm Moore's Song of the Sea in #Procreate as a study (I'll put a timelapse vid below) If I wasn't in data, I'd be in art & music. You? #notAI

A vertical triptic of three consecutive scenes from the animated film Song of the Sea that have been illustrated by hand in order to study them. The top one is a beach scene at night, the middle is a girl stepping into water, and the bottom is a white seal underwater.

This mallrats scene immediately leapt into my mind's ear.

A still from the movie Mallrats. Three young men are looking at something behind the camera (a magic eye 3D image). The text at the bottom says OH, YEAH, LOOK. IT'S A SAILBOAT.

My weekend contained hugs from Grandma and wildflowers! It was a pretty good one.

A close-up view of the ground outside: very small white daisy flowers with vibrant yellow centers cover the ground and are interspersed with slightly yellow, thin, dry grass.

Today on the #DSHangout, I think we came to the conclusion that the lil potato in the {chores} hex is the cutest thing ever. @simonpcouch.com I know it's not "pal" anymore, but we're all calling him Pal! :D #rstats #databs

Libby Heeren@libbyheeren· May 14

My main debugging duck is a VERY cute yellow gentleman named Rocket, but on my 40th birthday, I won this little lady in a claw machine, and I've been calling her Madame Razz ✨ (Where are my She-Ra-loving 80s babies at?!) #rstats #databs #pydata

A hand holds a small, sparkly purple rubber duck, and a blurry laptop screen is seen in the background with a blurry view of a bar chart. The duck is purple plastic with pinkish sparkles, an orange nose, and black eyes.

I read no shaming!! Plus, I know you ❤️❤️ fellow friend to animals, lover of skunks 🦨 Ours has been coming by early enough in the evening that we can watch her live on the patio cam when we get the alert!

Omg so cute!! Billy and Fili! Fili has a brother named Kili, too 😂 Here's Kili!

A brown and white cat is curled up on a tan blanket. His head is bent toward the blanket with his front legs curled under his head. The back half of an orange and white cat is seen in the foreground

Libby Heeren@libbyheeren· Apr 19

Just in case you needed some Fili in your life today. Deep breaths. Gaze at the perfect little domino beans. Marvel at his perfectly smudged nose. Imagine his soft purrs next to you. Breathe.

A brown and white cat is sleeping on a cream colored plaid blanket with his front right paw covering is left eye. Only the top half of the cat is in view, and part of a grey sofa is seen behind him, past the blanket. The cat's nose is pink smudged with brown.

A hand holds the back left foot of a sleeping cat. The leg is dark brown and the foot is white. Black toe beans are seen. The cats other foot is tucked under the one that's on display. You can just see part of the sleeping cat's nose in the background.

You ever just type the most tragic stuff into google & let it figure it out? Poor google. Good news, though, if your nails are too long & you're too tired to type, google will still get you to the #DSHangout! 😂 Join us on Thurs w/ Leslie Emery, a Sr Principal Data Scientist at BMS 😍 #rstats #databs

Screenshot of a google search where the user has mistyped posit data science hangout as "aposit data sicec hangout" but still got the top 3 most relevant and correct search results. There is an "eye rolling" emoji near the mistyped words in the search bar

This is #quarto 🤯 (just imagine this screenshot is animated haha) Repo: github.com/EmilHvitfeld... Way to go, @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social!!

A slide built using the quarto publishing system showing speech bubbles like on an iPhone, white bubbles showing up on the left and blue bubbles showing up on the right. The title of the slide says "Romeo & Julie -- Act II, Scene II" and each speech bubble has a line from Romeo or Juliet

DID YOU KNOW that experimental support for #devcontainers was added to #Positron all sneaky-like in December? Setting url: positron://settings/dev.containers.enable Dev containers (experimental) docs: positron.posit.co/dev-containe... (includes known issues) 🪲 Bugs? 👉🏼 github.com/posit-dev/po...

The settings UI in Positron IDE showing that the user has searched for "dev containers" and has checked the box next to the setting called Dev > Containers: Enable (Experimental). Some text on the screen says "then restart" meaning that the user should restart after enabling this setting

A screenshot of the Remote Explorer pane in Positron where you can see "Dev Containers" is now listed in the drop down options. There is text overlaid that says "Look! now you can choose containers if you open a project with one!"

Proof that I did, eventually, make it all the way down to the freezing cold water of Monterey Bay to dip my toes in. I FaceTimed my husband the whole walk there and back. You'd think after 20 yrs together, we'd be less attached at the hip, but you would be wrong 😂 I miss him & our cats like wild! ❤️🐈

Libby is a white woman with wavy grey and brown hair, blue earrings, a silver necklace, pink glasses, and a plaid jacket. She's seen in the bottom left hand corner of the frame with a beach behind her, the waves breaking in the distance. She's wearing a backpack and smiling, and the wind is blowing some of her hair into her face

Some joy for your Thursday ✨ Look at this sweet little cinnamon roll all curled up and holding her foot 🐾 This is Clementine and she is perfect 🤷🏻‍♀️

A brown tabby cat curled up on a beige plaid blanket, holding one of her own back feet in her front paws. Her eyes are closed and her tail is curled up between her back legs

I feel like I've unlocked some kind of YouTube achievement tonight

screenshot of a youtube description field with a warning in a text bubble that says "Your description is too long"

Libby Heeren@libbyheeren· Mar 13

We are blessed and we know it!! But they do scrap from time to time haha, if it's the witching hour! Here's Clementine snuggling one of her brother's butts (different orange brother than above!)

A brown tabby cat with her eyes closed, seemingly smiling as she nuzzles the top of her head into the backside of an orange and white tabby cat whose back half is visible. They're laying together on a mustard yellow and crème colored plaid blanket

Get you some brother cats ❤️ I have a whole litter of five, mom included, but that's not for the faint of heart (we do have some excellent cuddle piles, though)
