I assure you that every crossword constructor is bored with OREO too. Still more fun to clue than EKE or AREA though πŸ™ƒ

It breaks my heart to tell you that we lost our home to the Altadena fires. It’s completely gone. Thankfully, we’re safe with our dog across town, hosted by some dear friends. I never thought this would be me, but a friend made us this GFM, which I post here with incredible humility:

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Genius idea! Do you think we could get Yoko Ono to sign up too?

I think there should be a crossword constructor discount in exchange for all the years of free publicity we’ve given him!

Sorry... it's been a long day and I forgot I put "Imani" in the clues not the grid πŸ€ͺ. But you do have an amazingly great name for crosswords!
