Update: there are now 305 publications/organizations/news channels listed. I added a column for people to describe the nature of the assignment and there's still a column for any higher up at the outlet to comment on their practices. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Good morning to everyone but the 258 publications asking people to do unpaid tests as part of the application process docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…



Love this. There’s a glancing reference to data quality in my #BadGraphs talk but not enough time to go into detail — this perfectly illustrates why it’s important!

Chihuahua syndrome: messy data from variations in spelling or input. The name The chihuahua syndrome is from @EdwardTufte in his new book Seeing with Fresh Eyes, based on an anecdote from Chris Groskopf @onxyfish

This is a graph so bad I’m not even sure I can fit it into my #BadGraphs talk, I’d need to change the y-axis. (Thread. 🧵)

Play the ANTIVAXXER CHERRYPICKING GAME! On this graph are 4 "peaks" of cardiac deaths, over 60 (weeks?/months?) in a (place?) for a (young group of people) During which time did FORTY PERCENT this young group get C19 Vax? Click your response below: (rules on image and alttxt)

Sinéad O'Connor was brilliant, smart and courageous as fuck. I hope she’s remembered for her sense of humour, too. Here she is attending an anti-Sinéad O'Connor demonstration in disguise. Truly one of a kind 🖤

It's all completely horrible but the mass email thing is especially sticking with me because what the fuck. Mass emails aren't for things like TELLING PEOPLE THEIR IMPRINT IS DEAD NOW

I am so furious about the @InkyardPress situation. The poor team over there! My poor clients! What a casually cruel way to handle this. A mass email?! Did we not learn our lesson about mass emails?!?! I don’t know where to even put how ragey I am right now.

This is not an email I ever expected to receive or send.

Editors: we don’t have to publish everything

What is wrong with y’all?

Definitely! I’m always hoping to see someone I know, plus I’d love to be there myself someday. (I have been in a couple of journal article acknowledgements, which is always super exciting.)

Do you read book acknowledgments?
