One of my favourite #RStats packages for making maps is {geofacet} to create small multiples in a grid that represents an underlying geography. {gridmappr} gives an easy way to automatically create a grid layout to for a spatial object if there isn't already a built-in grid you like.

I have two mugs that are almost too huge to use, and they're both magnificent. This one makes my heart glow & is full of coffee. I guess it's vintage now! Or special edition? #rstats #databs #RStudio

(The other one is a Steven Universe mug covered in all the characters! It's almost a soup bowl 😂)

For #rstats users who manage environments with #conda, Anaconda is deprecating their R channel:

I'm disheartened to see this because of how valuable conda is and can be for R environments, especially in academia.

#RStats - Lesson learned
this was for a colorado measure guaranteeing universal free lunch for kids. funny how a short two-column table can say so much in so little space.
This is how it looked on the ballot.
Clear and easy to understand.

Hex stickers are one of my favorite parts of the #rstats community.
I sincerely apologize for the mcptools package not having a cute lil feller on its hex sticker in its first release. This will be corrected in the next #rstats CRAN release!!!

I've started working on an R package that makes it easy to write Typst markup dynamically! #rstats

It's still in its early stages, but it implements:
- ✅ all Typst functions
- ✅ set rules
- ✅ conversion from R to Typst (`NULL` becomes `none`, etc)
- ✅ no dependencies
