seekingferret- The Indie 500 crossword puzzle competition released a set of crosswords-with-metas as a fundraiser for the competition, pay what you want. It's called "Where on the Globe Is Carla Sacramento?", and the combination of a Carmen Sandiego theming and crosswords was guaranteed to suck me in. I solved the first puzzle on my lunch break and thought it was clever and meaty and fun. It's pay-what-you want, here: https://www.theindie500.com/registration
-I think I mentioned it before, but the Inkubator was a kickstarter last year for a biweekly crossword puzzle all constructed and edited by women. It started releasing puzzles in January and so far they've nearly all been a lot of fun, and the Valentine's Day puzzle in particular was probably my favorite straight crossword I've solved this year. So let me mention again that you can subscribe to the Inkubator: https://inkubatorcrosswords.com/
-Puzzled Pint this coming Tuesday. I'm looking forward to it as usual. www.puzzledpint.com
-The May edition of Panda Magazine comes out May 18th. https://pandamagazine.com/
-The NY Times puzzle has been more consistently crappy than usual, lately. Boring and stale with occasional veers off into the wildly offensive. I would like Brooklyn 9-9 to address this very serious and topical issue.
