themeless no. 7: i never claimed to know anything about thermostats

it's still setting in that it's 2022 for me— how's it going for you? 2021 was a year of starts and stops; one that i can't really eulogize succinctly. so i won't! instead, i'm gonna offer you all this puzzle and say happy new year: onward and upwards! or, in the immortal words of a fortune cookie i once had, let go or be dragged. 

some constructor notes: an asymmetrical grid? on my blog? it's more likely than you think. it was playing a little more challenging than i intended (i never set out to make a hard puzzle— there's nothing fun about stumping people) so some blocking was done to ease up a few crosses. hopefully it spares a few DNFs!

my entire kingdom to kate for testing this and very gently reminding me to, like, use commas. life-changing stuff! also thanks to dob from crossweird for working some free-jazz magic. it takes a village.
