Hello solvers! Today's genre is a new innovation by @Anonymus25 on a style of shading puzzles we've covered before, such as Nurikabe or Tapa. This one's called Circles and Squares!

Rules: Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area and each orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells is in the shape of a square. Cells with black circles must be shaded, and cells with white circles must not be shaded. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.
