👋 Hello to *way too many* new friends! Here's a little thread about me:

🏡 I live in Irvine, CA now but from the central coast (Monterey)
🐶 I'm obsessed with my dog, Theo, and he *will* make frequent appearances here
🔆 I work in solar tech as an Analytics Engineer and dig clean energy for all
Not sure if hyper quiet online at work because outages or because something even more sinister that I am not privy to 😶‍🌫️

Still haven't booked my travel to next week's conference 😬
$600 and the easiest most convenient flying experience ever on JSX? Or 8 hours on a bus for $45? 😬😬😬

Anyone else have amazon reviews just completely disabled in your app?

You bet yer lil head that I'm only using amazon to see reviews bout products I buy elsewhere once I've decided. But if this is a dumb way to push me to use the AI bot instead of reading real humans' thoughts.... yeahno. BIG no.

Helloooo data pals and other friends, I am back (physically) from a long summer trip where I was very disconnected from all online things except required work. It was glorious. I am now also tentatively back (mentally) for data related shenanigans aaaand I will be speaking at Coalesce in October!

My anxiety towards calling the tire shop abated upon learning they don't take appointments over the phone (I hate calling... anyone) but it has emerged tenfold upon hearing it is walk-up (drive-up?) first come first served and now I must race 100 people to be the first customer before 8am. 🫠

Plz no

Not even just "browser" anymore now we need "AI browsers"?? Whyyyy?

Life update: on the road! Spending the next three+ months traveling with my little family in this little school bus that we hand crafted into a dream home on wheels 🥰 4 days in and having a blast

Hiiii 👋 I've been having a marvelous time disconnected from this place and other social media for mental health and prioritizing connecting with humans IRL in my community and developing new community.

Just popping on here to say I'm speaking tomorrow at MDSFest if you wanna give it a watch!

Dudebro: What are you doing chatting in the women in data slack channel so much?

Me: last week we shamed a popular conference for their lack of female representation, this week we're crowdsourcing ways to get managers to respect our job expertise and not treat us like personal assistants

Bro: 👁️👄👁️

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility!

If you’re a dev who’s ever done web stuff and used NPM, and especially if you enjoyed NPM catching up to Yarn ca. ~2018.

If you’re a Rust dev who’s used miette, big-brain, cacache.

If you like KDL.

Then you’ve benefited from the work of a trans person.

Entered a giveaway for tickets to this hippy van camping jam fest and... actually won! Guess I really have to get my bus in shape in the next three weeks 😅

I just LOVE when I put a calendar block from 7-9am PT to protect my wake time adjustment window for the week after daylight savings and immediately my employer announces a merger with an east coast company and now I have 7am meetings four days this week 🥹🫠😵‍💫

Happy Women's Day! To celebrate, I did the most womanly things possible: teach my boyfriend how to change a car battery, sand and caulk an entire school bus, and relocate approximately ten spiders that were hanging out on my bus and also on my boyfriend's pants for some reason

My fave tire shop with the goods (aka the lift big enough for my phat bus) closed down in January 😭 of course right when I need a tire check.

Ughghhh I hate having to hunt down new bus friendly service providers.

Welp I did sets of 15-12-10 knee pushups today so I guess next workout I have to try real pushups 😬 wish me luck

DuckDB is goated for having an 'ignore_errors' option. Saved my life FR when trying to query a badly formatted CSV when I only cared about a single row's value of a specific column and it was too many rows for Sheets or Excel to filter for it 😭😍 #dataBS

Hell yeah 🚜
💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

I turned 30 today!

Had some excellent Persian food and some Karak chai and a ras malai cake for dessert. All my favorite things ☺️

This sweatshirt was my gift from my SO. That's my dog's face 🥹 It matches the painting his sister got me 2 years ago!

It seems the democratic party is down to one single competent individual with a backbone.

One won't be enough for the fight ahead, where are the rest?
This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Update... rejected 😩

Any sponsors able to help me attend? Small co problems -- no conference budget 😢

Submitted to the data council CFP 🎉 and not even at the last possible minute 😂

I am in DC. I am trying to fly home. The airport is in shambles and all flights are being delayed? Un-delayed. Delayed? I have rebooked my whole trip (with a layover I would have missed) once and now my new trip is in the exact same situation. Will I make it home tonight? Stay tuned to find out.

I have to fly into the eye of the storm (Washington DC) tomorrow. Please wish me luck and manifest excellent air traffic control coverage for me.
