  Lovely puzzle, as usual. In particular, I loved your heteronyms (8A8AImportant to accept package if I happen to be unable to (11)[-----------], 5D5DEmployment of 246 years (as of 2022)?

    Thanks Aaron! Heteronyms are my favorite words to clue, haha. I have a pretty hard line on &lits - "tracking technology" in 16D16DSome perfidious tracking technology (4)[----] serves no real wordplay use, so I'd call this a quasi-&lit at best, which I think are best left unannounced!

  This was the first LopLop puzzle I've tried, and I really enjoyed it! My favorites were USAGE5DEmployment of 246 years (as of 2022)? (5)[-----] and SIREN13DFather Nirvana's lead singer (5)[-----]. Great stuff!
