Best of March 2024
File this under “better late than never,” as we finally bring you our best of March 2024 lists. Once again, contributions are provided by Andrew Dana and Hayduke X, though we have less to say. Andrew has been dealing with technology issues after having to mercifully put down his prior laptop and Hayduke has been stuck in standardised testing hell. ‘Tis the season for us high school teachers. There were a ton of great releases in March, and I’m sure some that we missed. There is a little bit of overlap between the two lists, so those releases are maybe the best place to start. Have fun digging in the digital record stacks!
