SOLUTION to puzzle #28
SOLUTION to puzzle #29

Welcome back, solvers!

A few things I want to point you to today:

• The 2018 Indie 500 has opened its registration! I probably won't be attending in person, but you bet I'm on top of the solve-at-home registration + meta suite. 
• The Queer Qrossword project has released a pack of 22 puzzles, all for the low, low price of a $10 donation to an LGBTQ+ charity of your choice. Having test-solved one of these, I can confidently say that at least one puzzle in the pack is straight fire. No doubt the rest are too, though-- there's a lot of great constructors, and the pack is definitely worth your money. Check it out if you're interested!

Tried for an easier puzzle today. Hope you enjoy!

SOLUTION to last week's puzzle

Hello! In celebration of Oscar week, I wanted to post a puzzle inspired by a Best Picture nominee. I couldn't choose between two of my ideas, though, so I just did both of them. This and the next puzzle are the fruits of that effort.
