My first donut chart, and I love it! I crunched some data re: the manuscripts I've edited over fifteen years; at least 108 of them have become scholarly books. Top fields include religious studies, history, English, and anthropology. Next project: figure out how to animate w/o cursor 🙃

Lots of local popups going on at Lloyd Center mall in Portland today. To my own surprise, I’m especially happy to see Barnes & Noble so festive—and busyish.

I guess the OCR is doing better with my handwritten editorial notes. It used to render scribbled gender symbols as ampersands. Now, these gigantic emoji pepper the doc.
