/ki'a rə/ Crossword editor @avxwords & @crucinova. Extremely pretty, talented, AND modest. The guy from The X-Files called me "the best interviewer ever." 🗽♀️

Literally nothing I will ever do in a video game for the rest of my life will ever top this play I made last night in Babble Royale.

@giltcomplex better cancel that trip you were planning the morocco national zoo, just to be on the safe side

@giltcomplex In the interest of verisimilitude each tower should be its own piece

@qichellle I will walk and then get lost for a full hour because I forget downtown BK isn't on a grid system 🥴

@giltcomplex @cruciverbology I WILL BE INDULGED >:(

@yrouttasight @Pilgrim945 I will grant you this, as a big BTVS fan: the HD "remastered" version that airs on cable/streaming these days is fucking awful. Weird cropping to make it look "widescreen". Boom mics in every other shot. No color grading so every scene looks like 2 PM. Pure televisual malpractice

Hire Stella! She rocks.

[Stella Zawistowski @stellaphone]

Putting it out in the universe: I'm looking for more trivia writing gigs. I love writing questions even more than I love constructing; I'm good at it, especially writing accessible questions about less-covered subjects like fashion and classical music. Hire me.

[Quiara Vasquez @quiarados]

@marthakimes Me, probably?

[Quiara Vasquez @quiarados]

"Ozymandias" comes up, of course, and yet so many excellent/iconic BB episodes (4 Days Out, Phoenix, Fly, 51, Granite State) don't - more proof of the show's genius. Ditto with Buffy - The Body is great, but so are Fool for Love, Doppelgangland, Restless, Passion... both GOATS 🐐

[Quiara Vasquez @quiarados]

Fun trip down memory lane in this thread. The one show conspicuously uncrowdsourced here imo is The Americans. I think "Dyatkovo" is the show's peak but there's also "Stingers," "Chloramphenicol," "Martial Eagle," "David Copperfield," "Do Mail Robots Dream of Electric Sheep?" ...

@JeanLuc_Lemur Even as a kid I knew that the Chamber of Secrets game for the Game Boy was shovelware, and at least that one had really good music!

[Quiara Vasquez @quiarados]

@malisolves @vulture @themayadecline Clue of the year tbh

[Quiara Vasquez @quiarados]

@witch_warren Well DUUUUUH it's because he's a big boy who doesn't fit in the tiny ball 🥺

[Quiara Vasquez @quiarados]

@danfeyer @zachsherwin Oh no, did Zach Sherwin beat me to yet another wordplay find :(

[Quiara Vasquez @quiarados]

If you were on Broadway in 2006 you could catch a matinee of "Spamalot" featuring former "Buffy" actor Harry Groener and then see "The Little Dog Laughed" starring future "I'm Dying Up Here" actor Ari Graynor.

(Not words, I know, but still really cool.)

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

Extremely curious this morning about the longest words that are unrelated homophones.

Are there any three-syllable English words that sound the same but have different meanings and don’t share an origin??

[Quiara Vasquez @quiarados]

(you can solve this on the puzzleme applet too btw albeit without the grid art for now)

[Quiara Vasquez @quiarados]

OK, I'm turning in for the night and will send an e-mail tomorrow. Please do this belated Crucinova by Bryant White (and illustrated by me). And appreciate the grid.

@TrudeauRoss the depths you go to find new ETNA angles
