i uploaded this guy and 37 to crosshare while i was in texas for the holidays (and forgot my private key so i couldn't upload them here lmao). now that i'm back i also finally switched this blog over to using the crosshare embed. the crosswordnexus embed is still great (and still lives in the code of my website if i ever want to make experimental stuff with it) but having the puzzle hosted in a single place is good i think.
for this puzzle: 17a is the seed, shocking nobody. 26d and 53a are both the type of long words that the lobby i call "big phrase" wants to keep down but i like them bc they tickle the inside of my mouth in a way that WHO SAID THAT and the like just kinda don't. they will remain a part of my voice until i am censored like the radical dissident i am.
