As someone with a software and analytics background, I’ve been learning statistics and I’m learning proof-writing. I’m not really good at it, but that’s OK: I know I’ll get better with practice!

You can't do both
@taylorlorenz for the record: the account that uses loaded language and logical fallacies to cause angry mobs to target healthcare facilities is on Twitter, and a journalist who asked for comment is not.

Hey! Trans rights.
Twitter’s new owner’s war on accountability continues, this time with the suspension of @taylorlorenz https://taylorlorenz.substack.com/p/elon-musk-banned-me-from-twitter
