You might recall this figure from one of the papers above with @mjskay.com@jessicahullman.bsky.social. We created it by replicating the conference’s two-column format in Illustrator and manually assembling all the charts, text, statistics, annotations, and color coding. Truly a labor of love.

I believe I’m known for: - visual reasoning strategies as a lens for visualization eval arxiv.org/abs/2007.14516arxiv.org/abs/2107.13485arxiv.org/abs/2302.04739arxiv.org/abs/2308.13024

Right, the beautiful thing is some Americans genuinely mean it. I know some people who will never be happier than when they can make someone’s day through a random act of kindness or compassion. The trouble is trying to bottle and commodify this kind of human connection, which feels cheap and fake.

On a related note, peer review is irrevocably broken. We should find a solution that doesn’t involve coercing or shaming each other into working every weekend.

This has me thinking about a conversation I heard about where the provost told recently tenured faculty they should refrain from having a social lives. Fuck that! We worked too hard to become profs to turn around and make it worse for the people who follow in our footsteps. Academia should be fun!

This is insultingly low pay 😞

This is a really nice acknowledgment from Evan 🥹

Shout out to everyone hustling for the CHI deadline 🏃‍♂️
