:02takeNotes: I have been informed that... there is nothing special about today ❌. As such, there is absolutely no reason that I'm cutting the line ahead of @Tyrgannus. There is nothing exciting going on 🙅‍♀️, and the genre I present to you today is not important to a certain someone, especially not to someone who might think today is special at all 🎂.

Today's completely, utterly, un-special GAPP (Genuinely Approachable Pencil Puzzle), absolutely not set specifically for a certain someone (ok I'll drop it) is a Look-Air!

Rules: Shade some cells such that all connected regions of shaded cells form perfect squares. Two squares of the same size may not have a direct view of one another (i.e. have a straight line of unshaded cells in between them) but may be in the same row or column. A number in the grid represents the number of shaded cells that share at least one edge with it (including itself).

If you're still confused, attached in the image is today's puzzle on the left, and an example puzzle with its solution on the right.

We're still figuring out how to do these times effectively-- apologies if they're too hard or too easy!
