T<\/span>his is the March edition of Socialism and the Kitchen Sink: Crossword for Comrades<\/em>. March’s puzzle follows standard New York Times<\/em> crossword rules (for any sticklers in the first edition), and continues the theme of queer and feminist clues.<\/p>\n

Before starting on the puzzle, here’s a little recommended reading: the Washington Post ran an interview earlier this month, “I’m a Black woman who creates crossword puzzles. That’s rare, but it shouldn’t be.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Indeed, this community, like most online subculture communities, is ruthless.<\/p>\n

Yet, finally, I found some relief. \u201cMust admit to knowing very little about Marcus Garvey.\u2026 Thanks to crosswords\u2026for leading me there,\u201d one enthusiast said. When it came to learning the name of a horse racing champion or their jockey, I was more like this last commenter \u2014 excited that a puzzle introduced me to something new. This attitude, while seemingly compatible with a love for testing your trivial knowledge, is actually rare in the world of crossword critics.\u2026<\/p>\n

“This isn\u2019t a real test of knowledge or intelligence,\u201d I told the constructor I was dating [when I was introduced to crosswords], stubbornly.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a game.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
