I didn't get to all these -- I have limited time between waking up and going to work, so I had to pick and choose -- but the Ngozi, Weiss, and Roberts articles were all good reads. I would have read the NPR Advent Calendar bits, but instead I looked up exactly what an Advent Calendar is -- so I definitely learned something this morning!

EDIT: Doof, almost forgot my original reason for commmenting: I think the weekly linkspam is a good idea!
