This puzzle was a community goal over at twitch.tv/thatcrypticguy, with a special nod to Liari. Thanks to test solvers PA, juff, and Sophie He for unruffling some feathers in the grid. This is very lightly themed in honor of my two-year-old.
i was afraid these clues might fly over my head - to a real stupid person like me who didn't know the original name of 16a, she's just a peach - but eventually i was able to fit the bill... as it turns out, ruffling feathers everywhere i go is my talont... thanks for the puzzle, sorry for the inconvenience, wishing you and mini-you and all your friends and fam a good new year
