March link digest

It’s that time again, where I turn the month’s posts upside down, shake out all the links, and organize them into neat piles for you by type. Each item’s original post is linked by its post number so you can see what the context was, and what was said! I hope you’ve enjoyed the blog, and if you were to buy a book or leave a buck in the tip jar, I sure would appreciate it! Thanks for being here, and happy weekend—
