Last month on Glitch, the March 2023 edition

Whether you’re in the northern hemisphere celebrating spring, or the southern hemisphere welcoming the autumn season, there’s one thing we can all agree on when it comes to March — allergies suck. Fortunately, watery eyes and sniffly noses can’t keep the Glitch community down. March was a busy, busy month around these parts so let’s get right into it!
