    1. Because someone may find this useful, @Stata code for inferring a binary gender variable (with MANY necessary caveats) from first names using the genderize.io API: gist.github.com/lukestein/ff4eedf76801360ca0428fc3a7924a9b The API allows 1000 calls per day without a login.

    Per this flawed—conceptually and practically—gender inference, slightly more of my female Twitter followers report parenting in their profile description than men do. (Difference NOT statistically significant at conventional levels.) @lukestein/1264300051947352064
    oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API
