I drew these for the #datafam holiday card exchange, but figured I'd share them for others to use too! Put them on your cards, gift tags, or anywhere that needs a little more #dataviz 📊

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

FWIW, I've recently spent a ton of time working to improve `tinyplot` with Grant and Achim. The upcoming version is going to be amazing. Ultra-concise syntax for all the common plots, with auto legend, groups, and facets. 0-dep. For interactive use and teaching, this is going to be great.
