i wish more of my colleagues who make crossword puzzles for mass audiences saw it not just as a personal pastime/pursuit/etc but as a responsibility

like, the plinko board that is life has anointed you as one of the relative few with the opportunity to choose those 70+ words that hundreds of thousands of people will engage with at the breakfast table or while falling asleep. What Are You Going To Do With That?

i'm not thinking about "inclusivity" here so much as that right now there are people in power actively working to legislate trans people out of existence, erase black history, etc, and can we meaningfully resist that

(1/2) any pretention that puzzlemakers have about the "importance" of our work is generally limited to the abstract: shaping culture, or deciding what words mean and which ones are worth knowing. the realest impact most of us have, if we're lucky, is making people happy.
