Updated: Feb 15, 2021
This is a list of blogs, websites, and statistics databases that I keep here so as to avoid cluttering my bookmarks. It is not, strictly speaking, a blogroll – there are some publications that I do not just not endorse, but disavow. It is primarily for my own reference, but if readers can benefit from it, then why not. Blogs and websites that I explicitly follow I aim to compile once a year and post them at my usual blog, e.g. 2017, 2021.
Formatting guide: important, abandoned/rarely updated, deleted. (Please note that social media listings are nowhere near complete).
