@faymm@witches.town ¡gracias! Todas las personas son amables, me siento muy bienvenido 😊
@MissSnarkerson definitely! Also people do a whole bunch of tutorials and lectures on YouTube, I was just watching some for an analysis I’m working on.
@stringlytyped yes and no. There’s a lot of individual variation - some people just take things in stride. But so far a lot of what I’m seeing is that struggles are shaped by poverty and location (ie rural vs urban), which are also strongly influenced by documented status. Still conducting interviews so we’ll see.
@starbreaker haha yeah, I’ve been happier with them than the NYT but I def have to read multiple sources of news, there are certainly some things it doesn’t cover well.
I still haven’t figured out how to reconcile my distaste of large corporate conglomerates with my WashPo subscription 😬
@hypolite Salut! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! That definitely makes sense. I have been speaking with people who immigrated to the US for the past 1.5 years and when the election was really ramping up, conversations about life in general definitely changed.
@MissSnarkerson I’m a non-programmer as well. I like playing around with coding, which helps. R does have a real learning curve but I think it’s pretty intuitive. Plus as it’s free and accessible, a lot of people are using it and willing to help. A lot of R is google.
I definitely recommend it though, it makes some pretty graphs 😄
@gannet ¡gracias! Will do - this has been a lovely experience so far, thanks for the recommendations!
#Introductions for those wondering about influx of people, I heard about mastodon from a recent Washington Post article 
And, since you're new here: Mastodon doesn't run ads, we do not sell your data to survive.
However the project has a patreon, and liberapay (and there's bitcoin and paypal info under the Patreon!)

If you can afford a little bit every month, feel free to chip in! But if you can't that's okay too. $1 goes a long way!
Also check your local server for info about their #patreon to keep the servers spinning!
Hi all! I'm a Phd Candidate in anthropology, studying the physical effects of stress in childhood and stress involved in living as a recent immigrant in the US.
I'm also a cellist and a (bad) gardener. I use R for my statistical and graphic purposes.
Je parle français et/y hablo español
Nice to meet you all!
