Links: Data, Walks, & More

Welcome back to Wednesday Links!

For me, February and August are some of the longest months…and I mean that psychologically. Time crawls at a snail’s pace and soon I will have to say goodbye to my blissful summer office schedule.

We also have a little over a month left in SBTB Bingo and as someone participating, wow. I sure did a tricky job with these squares. You all have my sympathies!

Sarah and I have an idea to do an “unhinged” bingo later in the year with squares like, “Hero’s name sounds like a law firm” and “Characters are clearly stand-ins for known celebrities.”

There’s a very cute nonprofit called Skype a Scientist, which gives families and educational groups the opportunity to talk to real science experts. They have a cute little shop to help raise funds, complete with advent calendars, posters, and more.

Call the Venn diagram of data nerds and romance readers! Happily Ever Analyst has fun infographics on things like tropes, cover colors, etc.

Can I Walk With You? is a series, where the host Thoraya, asks people in NYC if she can walk with them to wherever they’re going. It’s really sweet. There’s also a YouTube channel with longer clips.

This sound is everywhere on social media and I was happy to track it down to a YouTube channel where a guy makes songs out of dating app exchanges.

Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!
