- I've written a new #Substack post! I've been rereading Marshall Rosenberg's #NonviolentCommunication. This one is about observation without evaluation, survival mode vs. living, #chronicpain, #disability, guilt, and wanting to be braver (I have surgery tomorrow morning, so the timing felt right).
- New Substack post in which I write about the things I'm holding right now, like surgery prep, political dread, grief, hope, the fear of going outside, and the refusal to let any of it make me smaller. drrosedasgupta.substack.com/p/living-as-...
- New #Substack post! I briefly wrote about navigating big life decisions in #polyamorous and relationship anarchist contexts, prompted by a conversation card that called me out personally. I also include a list of poly/ENM resources. drrosedasgupta.substack.com/p/who-gets-a...
- I am not pregnant (and I wanted to be), and I started my period today, and I'm not having a good time in my body. I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions anymore, but I wrote down some long-term goals anyway. #Substack drrosedasgupta.substack.com/p/long-term-...

- Hello! I'm Golapri Rose (they/he/ze). I'm reintroducing my Substack, because a lot has shifted since I first started this Substack in 2024: drrosedasgupta.substack.com #substack #introduction #writer #chronicillness #disability #queer #nonbinary #trans #findingmyvoice #poetry #prose #rambles
- Happy holidays y'all. Please check in on your fellow queers and people who are estranged from friends or family. Even if someone is surrounded by loved ones, this time can feel especially isolating and triggering.
- I just completed "Reactor" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/11
- I just completed "Factory" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/10 I used lpSolve (cran.r-project.org/web/packages...) to solve this #RStats #IntegerLinearProgramming
- I just completed "Movie Theater" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/9 (I've done part 1s of days 10-12 too! Day 9's part 2 took a while)

- I just completed "Playground" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/8 (now batch attempting the Part 1s for Days 9-12, bc I'm desperately trying to catch up!) I'm unfortunately sick again, so I'm hoping to finish and work on some other projects :3

- Happy Solstice! New Substack about being in a body holding a lot: new diagnosis, fertility, dysphoria, and befriending shame instead of waiting until you've healed enough to deserve your own presence. #disability #chronicillness #blog #reflection drrosedasgupta.substack.com/p/feeling-my...
- I have a tendency to optimize my way through uncertainty instead of just existing. :/ Wrote about that today... and about boundaries, interior victories, and putting your shoulder to the boulder again. drrosedasgupta.substack.com/p/existing-w... #disability #burnout #fertility #chronicillness
- I just completed "Cafeteria" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/5
- @lavitaloca34.bsky.social : "“While I am not responsible FOR the insecurities of my partners, I acknowledge that I can have an impact on their EXPERIENCE of their insecurities..." (continued) #polyamory
- Work has been intense, I'm hoping to finish Advent of Code this week in a sprint
- Reposted by Golapri Rose Ila Dasgupta, PhD MPH MHI MSThis composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

- I just completed "Printing Department" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/4 Conway's Game of Life, but helping forklifts move paper rolls so that we can break the wall (omg lol) to get into the cafeteria. Days 5-7 tomorrow, because I need to sleep #RStats
- I just completed "Lobby" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/3 Picked batteries greedily while the elf hit "yes, I'm sure" on the joltage override. Escalator powered! Yayyy! 🔋⚡ #AdventOfCode #RStats
- I'm excited to share a new paper I'm a co-author on in the World Journal of Urology! The findings of this #clinicaltrial, led by Gnankang Sarah Napoe and team, suggest that bilateral #PTNS may offer additional benefit in the treatment of overactive #bladder. #Urogynecology doi.org/10.1007/s003...
- It's the weekend, and I'm still in recovery mode (still recovering from illness), but I've been resting! I'm hoping to catch up on all the Advent of Code puzzles :3 (I did read them at least!)

- I just completed "Gift Shop" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/2 A young elf made silly patterns, but regex had my back(reference). Maybe the world could use more silly patterns and tools gentle enough to hold them #AdventOfCode #RStats

- Reposted by Golapri Rose Ila Dasgupta, PhD MPH MHI MSAfter years of working with Quarto, I've refined a set of editor settings that significantly improve document editing efficiency. My latest blog post shares these battle-tested configurations. mickael.canouil.fr/posts/2025-1... #Quarto #VSCode #Positron #Productivity #DataScience
- The elves changed the password, and I had to do modular arithmetic to get into the North Pole. My graphic for Day 1. My revised R code solutions are in alt text (thank you to @thoughtfulnz.bsky.social for the suggestion). The image was also drawn using R github.com/pritikadasgu... #AdventofCode
- I just completed "Secret Entrance" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/1 I'm working on making a graphic or something of how I thought about the solution (or just an art piece, we'll see).

- This is an earlier post/prose/piece I made on #Substack about my academic journey, trans journey, and what the t-distribution taught me about gender: "The Probable Error of a Man." #trans #statistics #wordplay #ttest #WilliamSealyGosset #Guinness #gender #academia #personalblog
- Yesterday on my #Substack, I vulnerably wrote about fire, stubbornness, wild geese, and a Hindu bird that knows how to drink the milk and leave the water. #hinduism #maryoliver #disability #burnout #partswork #prose #philosophy #poetry drrosedasgupta.substack.com/p/pulling-back
- I've been an #RStudio user since grad school and somehow missed that they released Positron! I knew the company rebranded to Posit in 2022, but I'm just now catching up on the IDE news. Time to explore. #RStats
- Considering a new IDE for your data science work? ✨ Explore Positron, our IDE for #RStats and #Python! We have migration guides to help you migrate from: ➡️ VS Code & ➡️ RStudio We’re also working on a guide for Jupyter users! What else would you like to see? Let us know! posit.co/blog/positro...
- From JJ Allaire's and Hadley Wickham's post in 2022 (posit.co/blog/rstudio...), I love that they pointed out that "posit" means "to put forth an idea for discussion." #posit #RStats #datascience

- Hi, I'm Golapri Rose ("Pritika Dasgupta" is my legal/deadname)! Respect my chosen name(s) and pronouns :) I'm a #scientist and concerned citizen. I also overshare on #Substack about work, life (a lot of it is this), & whatever else I feel like ✨ My profile pic was drawn by goopbug.gay in 2020.
- Attempting #AdventOfCode 2025 after a long hiatus from 2021! Language and IDE: #R + #RStudio. I might also write about it on my Substack. I made a template for this year, but we'll see how long the clean code lasts once midnight hits 😅 (Currently sick and typing this horizontally. Hydrating though!)
- The first #AdventOfCode 2025 puzzle comes out in about five hours! What's your plan? What language(s?!) are you using? What's your IDE of choice and why is it Vim? Do you have a comfy chair? Did you check out the beta release of Lua 5.5? How much sleep have you gotten? Drinking enough water? 🌟 ❤️ 🎄
