I am enswooned by @malaika-h.bsky.social's new site, featuring a heatmap-with-linked-flyout-overleaf-thingamajig of her astounding number of published #crossword puzzles (562 at the moment! But probably 575 by the time I press publish in a minute or two).

Glad I saw this in time!
LAST DAY!
Thanks to some generous folks, we hit our goal this morning. This means we are giving $7K EACH to our 5 funds!
HOWEVER—don’t let the fact we reached our goal dissuade you from donating. Abortion funds need our help now more than ever!
