Such a fun experience to do the Crosstalk podcast with Daniel Grinberg, with so much owed to his thoughtful questions and background research. Also, he's a really good crossword constructor too (wish I'd remembered to say that out loud when we recorded this!)
16.04.2025 19:50 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0To be clear, the main goal of this puzzle is to fund abortion. I'm so grateful to the @tpfa.bsky.social team for assembling this pack for that purpose. But they also worked hard to create a safe space for me to (somewhat indirectly) share a part of my lived experience through this puzzle. I 💜 them.

If you want to know about one of those things (which is consuming a lot of my mind and heart), solve "Breaking Free" from this pack. I can't talk about it here or now, but it's autobiographical.
