giant freestyles seem to be the craze these days; sid sivakumar just posted a 23x23 on his site that i tested, and here's a 23x17 freestyle that he tested. truth be told, this one started out as a 17x17, but i never quite liked how the center came together, so i stretched it out just a little more; i think it was worth it, and here's hoping you do as well.

not much to say this week, other than that parasite is an excellent film and y'all should see it if possible; the less you know going in, the better, but it's well worth watching no matter what. also, honored to have a collaboration from queer qrosswords 2 named as one of the best indie puzzles of october by will nediger; the other puzzles he cites were also among my favorites, though the rest of the puzzles are just as good and well worth solving if you haven't already. otherwise, freestyle here today; as always, enjoy!
