This is the first #TidyTuesday I've done in a while. It can feel impossible to carve out the time to make something that is just okay, when other people are making #dataviz that is really beautiful. What's stopping you from participating? And how do you get past it? #rladies

`atlas = dk` stopped working in ggseg 2.0.0. It's `dk()` now, and I owe you the reason: R cannot re-export a dataset from another package's namespace. A function is the honest way to put a name there. 🧠 #RStats l.drmowinckels.io/DVergO

Inside the doorway sits a glowing pedestal with a stylized brain outline and a small tag reading "dk()". On the right, a second door is completely walled off with grey bricks and a nameplate reading "dk". Below the doors, code text reads "ggplot() + geom_brain(atlas = dk())

I'm an R person who just shipped two cross-platform desktop apps in Rust + Tauri + React — a stack I'd never written before. One built straight in code with Claude, one designed first as a clickable artifact. Story: l.drmowinckels.io/sNeRrN

A modern minimalist desk setup in warm, natural light. On a light wooden surface, a stylized cairn of stacked stones glows with digital, circuit-board patterns. Next to it, an open silver laptop displays a dark-mode productivity dashboard with charts and UI elements labeled "Cairn." A blurred succulent sits in the background.

ggseg now draws brains without sf. It installs needing compiled GDAL, GEOS, or PROJ — so it runs on locked-down laptops, HPC clusters, and in the browser (webR/shinylive). Same geom_brain(), identical figures. How & why 👉 ggsegverse.github.io/news/2026-06... #rstats #neuroimaging #ggsegverse

Quarto's `hugo-md` format wraps every figure in raw HTML, so Hugo's image render hook never fires on them. Fifteen lines of Lua + one line in `_quarto.yml` and every figure comes out as clean `![alt](src)` markdown instead. l.drmowinckels.io/WgOEMR

Apropos of International Women’s Day, here is the LinkedIn followership for R‑Ladies Global. The data show a steady increase from 2021 through 2026, reflecting sustained engagement with the community’s mission and activities. #RLadies #IWD2026 #RStats #WomenInSTEM #DataVisualization #CommunityData

A line chart titled “R‑Ladies Global – LinkedIn Followership” showing the growth of the organization’s LinkedIn followers from 2021 to 2026. The x‑axis is labeled “Date” and spans five years, while the y‑axis is labeled “Followers,” ranging from 4,000 to 9,000. Black circular points mark follower counts at various dates, and a red line connects them to show the overall trend. The line rises steadily from just over 4,000 followers in early 2021 to nearly 9,000 by 2026, with noticeable periods of faster growth around early 2024 and again near early 2026. The chart has a clean white background with light gray gridlines, emphasizing the upward trajectory of the community’s reach on LinkedIn.
