You did that!

Great to see you a little bit, hope you’ve recovered.

Will Shortz?!

Hosting a new friendly Only Connect-style match with some puzzle and trivia pros tonight at 7 Eastern on Ben Bass’s Twitch stream. I'm apparently the opening act for some trivia later hosted by *touches earpiece* WHO?!

I genuinely still think about it regularly—clearly!

The explanation that the Godbinder deities were designed by combining opposite nodes on an emotion wheel blew my mind.

Yesterday’s question, and no info shared!

Writing a trivia mini-league on Crossovers, and had to bring up the phenomenal world of Die by @kierongillen.bsky.social and @stephaniehans.bsky.social because my co-writers are nerd-enablers.

Just putting this out into the world—buttons for FlameCon that do the Fall of X “Red Triangle” defense but with rainbow letters for pride.

Anyone wanna see Dead Outlaw with me before it closes Sunday?

Love the guy who posted on a FB chess puzzle “why must the queen always sacrifice herself”—what a way to discover the patriarchy.

So glad you already know about them!

Have a few of their jackets and love when a nerd stranger recognizes the inspiration so I can recommend them. Design, quality, and just vibe are reliably top notch, and the folks repping their NYCC booth are always awesome.

Always terrifying when they ask to record your quiz match

Did you forget to put your sticker on when defending?

Truly, Sara, you make the whole photo

A square grid of 4x4, in the style of an Only Connect wall. Each square has a word in it in a different color. I cannot really describe the colors, as that would provide too much information about what the words are cluing and how they fit together, but the words are Spa Wavy Empire Keystone Po (P-O, no E) Bluegrass Sou (S-O-U) Fennell Nutmeg Rea (R-E-A) Bold Buck Dee Ryan Wan Rose

For any fans of Only Connect & NYTimes Connections, I designed this for friendly games at Lollapuzzoola 2024 and ran it with @benbassandbeyond.bsky.social
on Twitch. Really proud of the grid, but didn't get as many full games played to show it off, so here you go.

Please sort into 4 groups of 4!

Nice

…is how I would like to do at the event

I swear to God, I opened up a recent Sunday to start practicing, read through 1-Across, and thought “oh right, I’m supposed to do something now.”

I prefer to keep the mystery alive

Less than a week from ACPT and I haven’t solved a crossword puzzle in 2-3 months…

Josh won a duck!

Heading over to @taskmaster @TMTheExperience Live to show up some Brits. You best believe I will look under the table. My time starts now.

And if there’s anything people associate you and me with, it’s definitely pop culture!

For any Learned League folks on here, hope you’ll try out my Santa Claus in Pop Culture one-day special! learnedleague.com/oneday.php?6...

It breaks my heart to tell you that we lost our home to the Altadena fires. It’s completely gone. Thankfully, we’re safe with our dog across town, hosted by some dear friends. I never thought this would be me, but a friend made us this GFM, which I post here with incredible humility:

Sending you guys the best possible vibes, tapping all reserves

They’re really—uh—sharp, don’t you think? I hear black is this year’s pink.

Woke up today with this in my head

Challengers up against Wicked in the comedy/musical Golden Globes category could tear the gay community apart.
