Every month we collect our semi-daily tweets from @savageminds in an easy to swallow pill. Was there one you missed? If you see something around the web that you’d like to share with the Savage Minds community shoot me an email at MDTHOMPS@ODU.EDU. The digest for the month of March is a bit late. Apologies, I was occupied by public school spring break which never ever corresponds with university spring break.
