Promotional graphic for the DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship Program. The background is a dark blue gradient with flowing wave-like patterns in blue and gold. At the top, white text reads: “DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship Applications Now Open.” Below, a yellow box with black text says: “Seeking Disabled Mentees and Dedicated Mentors to Champion Inclusion in STEM.” At the bottom, white text states: “Applications due December 5th.” In the lower right corner, there is the DisabledInSTEM logo.

It's that time of year again... time for #DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship applications! I'm so excited to be running this program for the sixth year and seeing the growth over the years!

The #NoKings website needs some accessibility work. The results of the location search are only available visually as a map. There's no text alternative for people using screen readers.

NO KINGS in Atlanta · No Kings Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and o...

Hey Atlanta! Next weekend, Saturday 10/18, is our next NO KINGS rally ❌👑

And I'll be speaking! #StandUpForScience

This is a peaceful protest, coordinated with #NoKings protests around the country, together expected to be the largest in American history.

Autistic humans don’t burn out from being autistic.

We burn out from pretending we’re not.

From jobs, families, and systems that punish difference and call it “help”.

Recovery isn’t about fixing us.

It’s about changing the conditions.

Even one small one at first is already a huge step.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Yani! You can still register for the @btscon.bsky.social always great to work with at minimal cost and watch the video later. 

Unexpected Benefits Learn new packages and functions, Learn clearer and more efficient approaches you can use in your own work, Enjoy the puzzle of figuring out and following the authors' work, Introduction to object-oriented data structures helped in a future project, Ways of collaborating apply to private consulting project.

Today, @lizhare.bsky.social gave a spectacular talk at the Big Team Science Conf about the peer review software resources developed by @ropensci.org and how she learned about them during the Champions program.

The slide with the unexpected benefits is my favorite part of the entire presentation!

Join me and @lizhare.bsky.social at the Big Team Science Conference, where I'll be presenting live via Zoom Today from 16:30 UTC.

First, congratulations Yani! Second, if you want to know how to  verbally describe data visualizations well, use this as an example. 

It’s so frustrating when white ppl have the audacity to speak on the black lives when this country makes it so difficult just to live while black.

As a WW I've always tried to listen to people but in the last five years it's become clear that we need to shut up and listen rather than being the gratitude police. And as a blind person, I know the gratitude police very well.

That's exactly it. Evaluating someone else's life is super disrespectful and error-prone. We have know idea what others have had to endure or fight against.

I don't watch TV often but Joy is great and assholes need to stay in their lane.

Come joimn Steffi LaZerte & I to chat about code review at rOpenSci 's Coworking call in a month! If you're transitioning to open science projects, we'll introduce how teams work together. Also, please come along if you have tips/experience to share. https://ropensci.org/events/coworking-2025-11/

Oh god, yes!

This is such a great excuse for conferences not being accessible. They don't pay anyone to work on accessibility and they make it impossible to get anything done.  they don't see disabled people in their field because we can't attend, so they keep not seeing disabled people in their field. 

Thank you for including alt text so I have the full context. these are wild times.

Wow. Not acceptable. 

Next Monday at 12:30 EDT. I'll be talking with @yabellini.bsky.social at the Big Team Science Conference. We'll be talking about @ropensci.bsky.social 's community and resources for working together on R code. https://bigteamscienceconference.github.io

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

The Pac-Man Rule should be adopted at all conferences and meetups - it's so much more welcoming!

Also an excellent use of a pie chart! 📊

Let's please not forget that all this made up science about autism is founded on ableism and hate, not disability rights and acceptance.
