August issue is out! Five new variety cryptics from Probably Apocryphal, @joeadultman.bsky.social , Bob Weisz, Roger Wolff, @juffowup.bsky.social , and Kyle Dolan.
Five overlapping barred crossword grids.  Three are numbered and normal-ish looking.  Two are non-numbered, and one of the non-numbered ones has some shaded squares and an S and E pre-filled.  What on earth could be going on there?

As a quick appetizer before the December issue, we have a holiday themed puzzle from @illogicaljoker.bsky.social and @joeadultman.bsky.social . This one's free, and might be light and breezy enough to spread the good word of variety cryptics to your family if you happen to be seeing them this week.

@gnomoncryptics.bsky.social I came across a fun sundial / armillary sphere / gnomon this week and thought of you!
A sundial made out of an armillary sphere, with an arrow as the gnomonA sundial made out of an armillary sphere, with an arrow as the gnomon
Plaque from by the sundial, saying it was put there by the British Sundial Society, at their 2019 conference.
