Fruit Basket
Hi! It's been a very long time. I am largely unwell, as is everyone else, even though I deeply wish this wasn't the case for any of us. I'm starting off this way because it generally feels like an important thing to actively acknowledge in a world that wants to sweep everything under the rug in the name of maintaining "normalcy" and, in turn, "productivity". I believe we'll all get through it one way or another because I believe in persistence and resistance, but it felt silly to "return" in a way and not address the giant stinky elephant taking a massive shit in the room. This is my first solo blog puzzle since 2023, and the world is, in countless ways, a much different place.
I was laid off in December (need a linguist? want a puzzle? hit me up!) and have been slowly regaining some of the creative energy that tech sucked out of me. I've been trying to make more themed puzzles (and more puzzles in general), and this one popped into my head about a week ago and I wanted to give it a whirl. I also still want as much """""pop culture""""" in these as possible because art and media are reflections of the times we live in. If puzzles are meant to be cultural artifacts, then they should also contain information about art and media.
all my love,
meaty xoxo
ps - as all academics eventually do, I started a Substack. Planning on writing more once my life slows down a bit!
