A) people recoil in horror when I tell them the amount of reviewing I do in a year B) sometimes I do service because, if I didn't, a person with less power would be harmed (e.g., tenure) C) women are treated very differently when we say no to these types of requests

Coded up a little app so you can see if your document contains any of the MAGA trigger words ("diversity", etc.). Hopefully it makes proposal writing a little easier. Built with #Quarto, #rshiny, #shinylive, #Rstats, and rage. jhelvy.github.io/magaScreener/
gif of a screen recording showing how the app works. click to upload the document, then click analyze and it prints out either that you have no target words or gives a table of how many of each word there are in the document
