Well it all started when I was 12, and my dad gifted me a copy of Crossfire for Christmas. I took this as an insult to the Compiler-based work flow I had been developing for three years and promptly cut my "father" out of my life

best karaoke song is “you’re a mean one, mister grinch.” 6 verses that all sound the exact same, an instrumental break where you just stand there, the lyrics are more mean than you remember and they suddenly get really complicated towards the very end

Queuing up tonight’s Classic puzzle email, with a wholehearted plug for sites.google.com/view/transxw... , the hot new trans crossword collection edited by @canterlope.bsky.social and @adanicklmao.bsky.social
HTML Newsletter:

Dear friends,

Justin Werfel's "Four Pieced Suits" is 3/5 difficulty. This is Werfel's debut with AVCX Classic, and we're delighted both to work with him and to publish this fine offering.

Meanwhile, we're happy to bump a hot new puzzle pack, A TRANS PERSON MADE YOUR PUZZLE, which went live yesterday. Donate at least $10 USD to an American trans charity and receive 10 puzzles by trans constructors, edited by Sara Cantor and Ada Nicolle. Just in time for pride season.

And you know, you can just solve it because the work is top-notch without thinking about politics at all, that's an option for sure, but given the escalating fascist attacks on trans people in the US right now, a word on that. AVCX acknowledges that queer people, including trans people, have been and remain *enormously* important in crosswords and other puzzles. They're collectively a pillar of both the community and the art form, so beyond being a cool charity thing we feel this puzzle pack is also a great chance to honor the outsize contributions of LGBTQ+ and trans people specifically. And while some pride sponsors have revealed themselves as supportive of queer stuff only as long as the political winds are blowing conveniently, AVCX is excited to sing the praises of this project, and the people behind it, always.


Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
