To anyone live streaming this - red light only
Tips appreciated to help this Texan keep taking estrogen! Warning - puzzles often crass, anarchic, and approaching NC-17 territory.

- This is legit Saturday Stumper quality, excruciating with plenty of misdirection but still fair. Loved the clue for ZESTERS.
- yeah that was tough even though I knew not to put CANADIAN for ONTARIAN. fave entry was MUTTONCHOPS.
- daTruthTeller 🤓3:00 · 2023-03-07T06:28:58.110ZRed-lighted; would you believe 40A was my first entry
- Took me a while to rethink ELBOW/SWEARS ("elbow" is totally a verb) and DIVORCE (???)/VOLES. That was the first word that came to mind with ___ORCE, nevermind that it doesn't match the clue at all. Those big SW/NE corners are super clean.Overthinking moment of the day: trying to answer the CART clue with something related to cultural (or maybe emotional?) baggage.
- Regarding CART, yeah, that was a major misdirect happening there.
- (sees this being featured) Mike being Virgil over here.
- Shae 🤓1:28:11 · 2023-03-07T23:47:59.169ZOuch in a good way
- You weren't kidding. That was pretty punishing. Cleverly written, though! (Also, what series is the cover photo from? The art style is gorgeous)
- If memory serves, Girl's heart @ high school boy
- This puzzle tore me a new one - and I enjoyed it. Very well constructed with wonderfully ambiguous clues.
- Adam Linder 28:08 · 2023-03-10T00:38:08.948ZThis landed right in my upper Saturday Stumper range. I spent way too long trying to make ZAMBONI work for 38D. I guess the less good ones damage the ice?
- good christ
