- `filter_out()` for dropping rows
- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools
These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats!

I've also collected a host of ideas on how our choices can reduce waste, support communities, and restore nature — from thrifted treasures to shared experiences, and giving that supports families and ecosystems around the world.

Map of Scotland with white areas around the coast highlighted. White areas are around most of the coast, though Orkney looks especially affected.
The prompt for day 12 of the #30DayMapChallenge is a "map from 2125", and this one *almost* fits that description! This shows the areas of Scotland likely to be affected by coastal erosion by 2100 🗺️

In 2018, Meta decided “clean energy” and “climate change” were politically sensitive topics, and demanded that I - a climate scientist - register as a political org to post and boost posts on them.
I refused, and my page has been shadow banned since then. For 7 years. Until this week, that is 😳
