Before solving this puzzle, please read Kameron Austin Collins' notes in Xword Info from the weekend. Whether you're a puzzle maker, solver, blogger or a combination of the two, it's important to be thoughtful about how we talk about puzzles, who holds power in the puzzle world, and how they wield it. When you're finished, I recommend downloading this new supplemental wordlist, hosted and edited by Erica Hsiung Wojcik, if you're a constructor committed to improving diversity and representation in your puzzles.
Happy solving,
Matthew
