Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to @gabalafou and @trallard for keeping things running while I was out!

Updates from last week ✔️

• I haven't gotten to work on anything since the the last check in. It's been (non-grant) workshop time for me.
• Reached out to a community member who contacted me about potential user research around accessibility. This is still in the air, but it may come back later. Here's your heads up!

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• I think I need to figure out a better way to make UI changes with JupyterLab. My current approach feels like it's harder than is helpful and I'm getting frustrated. I don't think I need any help yet.

My availability for next week

• I will be here all next week, but next week is also the first accessibility workshop. I probably will be spending more time in that headspace.
