Puzzle 30 - Themeless #21

By Brian Thomas
Black Lives Matter. It's a big fucking deal, and it's the responsibility of everyone to work toward a more just world. Pretty simple. Don't have much more to add that hasn't already been written already. Here's a good list of what you can do if you're white - many of them require nothing more than an open mind and setting aside some time for self-reflection.

If you are able to set aside the time and/or money, please back up your convictions with tangible action.


Crossword-wise, really haven't been up for crosswording the past couple of weeks :/ - I do like this puz though :)

Puzzle 29 - Themeless #20

By Brian Thomas
Howdy! There's a lot of nifty stuff after the puzzle so be sure to scroll down! If this is your first time here, I post puzzles 3 times a month - on the 8th, 18th, and 28th. Mostly themelesses, and you can click the Past Puzzles link to get to all of them. Feel free to say hi below, and I hope you stick around! For the regulars, I have the Saturday NYT (you should do it, it's pretty good imo) and threw a link to here up in the constructor notes. Anyways...

Solution

  • You can watch the entire grid-building process for this puzzle on Twitch! I live-streamed making it (and got a bit of help a few times) - go check it out here. Takes about 15 minutes before we actually get into constructing, so you might want to skip ahead. No idea how entertaining it actually is, because I'm too self-conscious to go back and watch myself blabber on for a couple hours.
  • Sometime in the next few weeks, I'm going to do that again - when it does, swing by!
  • Speaking of Twitch, I have really enjoyed watching folks streaming their crossword solving. Aaron Paulsen streams most weekday afternoons, and Chris Adams does a bunch of indies Saturday nights. Great entertainment always, but especially when we're all quarantined.
  • If you want to play a nifty game of hexagonal battle Boggle, check out Hexicon! Feel free to add & challenge me in game (briant).
  • Have a great week! See y'all in June!
