so proud to have lizzymaynes as a boss - her keynote on 'taking crosswords seriously' was brilliant, funny, and super engaging. worth watching whether you have a connection with crosswords or not, imo

today's newsletter from the The New Yorker has a couple lil stray eclipse observations from me! ☺️
