just gridding!

 welcome to our second attempt at crowd-sourced cluing! 1. click here for a pdf image of clr's grid 2. click here to access the google form where you can submit clues for up to five entries (feel free to do this multiple times if you have more than five you'd like to submit) 3. on wednesday, august 4, at 8pm eastern, we will do a twitch livestream of our review of the submitted clues and make a completed puzzle.  note from rachel: if you're a new constructor and you'd like feedback on your submissions, you can let us know via the form -- it might take a while, but we'll email you our thoughts if we don't discuss your clues on the twitch stream!

Hello! This puzzle was originally written as an out of office message while I was backpacking in the woods without internet access from July 2 - July 18, 2021. If you are seeing this puzzle after that time, it must mean I am out of office again! Please enjoy the below crossword puzzle, and thanks as always to clr and brooke for the test solves, and to clr for help with 74A. -r.e.fabi pdf puz
