👀 I don’t know if I have any useful advice, but I’m very excited at the prospect of a Katina stream. I guess knowing what you want to get out of it is a good start; helps determine what you want to put in. In my experience, it’s been wonderful to have another community, however small.

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?
