Sample clue that I enjoyed (which definitely would not show up in the NYT): 2014 movie in which Gaby Hoffmann’s character says “You guys, we already live in a patriarchal society where a bunch of weird old white men in robes get to legislate our cunts. You just need to be worrying about yourself.”
The money goes to abortion related charities. clues and answers have the freedom to be a little more boundary pushing than ones that appear in major newspapers as far as language/topics. so far I’ve found them to be medium difficulty (equivalent to NYT Tuesday or Wednesday), so fairly accessible!
I’m pretty into crossword puzzles, and I’ve been working through the puzzles from “These Puzzles Fund Abortion” 6 (abortionpuzzles.com) and enjoying them a lot. Every year they get experienced crossword constructors to donate puzzles, and then you can donate $25 to them and they send you the puzzles
cool animals from La Jolla today!
Unemployment going well so far 💯
dang I missed it but let’s fucking go! congrats!
I wrote a guide for DDR/rhythm game commentary, which is now live on DDRCommunity! ddrcommunity.com/rhythm-game-...
I mostly scorepost in the life4 discord these days, but I got world rank last night! It was a pretty big effort for me that required a lot of concerted effort and chart study. Pictured are my final top 90, as well as some highlights along the way from the last few months!
yeah I quit my job at the end of may lol
MotL flights got way cheaper since I last checked so decided to go to chill even though I doubt I’ll get off the ddr waitlist. But doing voltex, and being unemployed I feel like I have way more energy to meet people and hang out so should be sick!
simply quit your old hobbies and become a master angler
just got home from 1 week lake vacation with friends, only home for 1 week before 1.5 week trip to Japan 😮
uh oh I’m addicted to slay the spire 😬 dunno why I slept on it for so long
trying to play hard things and get flare points 😤
2!
first session in new lighter shoes today and I was shocked how big of a difference it made. I played 12(!) 17s and 3 18s and it felt not terrible? Maybe it’s uppers season…
really good session today, I actually felt pretty good playing some easy 17s which hasn’t been the case lately. Kinda knew I could PFC red but the MA greatly exceeded expectations! No more love also pretty crispy
I got my 1st ever PUC in arcade 😮, I have a few 17s playing at home but this isn’t one of them either!
chromatic burst gotta be a contender, I feel like I know how to read crossovers pretty well and when I watch that chart I feel like I showed up to the final exam after skipping class all semester
grinding nasty 14s today with @ambones.bsky.social! triperfect sucks!! chocolate planet was last set last song and I almost played the 12 cause I was super tired but clutched it out
congrats! I also got this one with way worse MA right after a run that was 27p and change, I’m sure we can both fix it up another day though
yes! keep going!
nasty work 😵
Kinda struggle sesh today but it was crowded af so hard to focus, shit happens. Still got a few good raises. A normie walked up and tried to swipe in while I was midsong on a remote card draw too 🫠
Voltex sessions going really well lately, 3rd 19 hard clear and volaquas 1/1 both pretty sick
Was feeling pretty winded this session, but I managed 2 new 15s in my last set so can’t complain too much. At 98 now, gotta figure out what to do for #100. Step this way probably pfcable on a bit better day
wow, great job! i’m so inconsistent at getting good steps in 😬
return to form on the crossword grind this month, did em all and only had to cheat on a handful (blue ones I checked stuff or looked up at the end, gold ones were clean)
but you can watch the ddr streams extra big now like you've always wanted!
