Can't take credit for the awesome Amphifa logo, but the one I designed is free to use!

Here's a png with no background. You can buy sticker paper everywhere and use a normal printer to print them out!

Everyone loves Penguins, right?

What about visualizing them using ~ schematic Chernoff faces? Here's a 1st proof-of-concept example Claude helped me with.
Bill sizes are way too small. Sex is mapped to eye shape, but can't easily be seen. Anyone want to help with this?

Glyphs representing a sample of 20 observations from the penguins data set, mapping the variables body_mass, flipper_len, bill_len, bill_dep to visual features, colored by species

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email
