I've been talking about this for months, but given the SNAP benefit crisis, there's never been a better time. This first round of donations will go to Philabundance.

we lost my dad suddenly on Thursday. gonna have to revise this poem because the saddest thing I know has changed - it's not that my dad was once not my dad, but that he was, and I will miss him always. everyone crank up the live version of "sweet jane" for Chris.

Final Girl Slumber Party, by Meghan Phillips — Barrelhouse
We don’t braid each other’s hair. Can’t stand the yank tug of the brush, the drag of bristles over scalp. Warm breath on the backs of our necks.

upped my sustaining membership because radio is one of the last things that allows for the joy of random discovery, plus I love XPN so so much
Today is the last day of our Fall member drive. Thanks to all of you who donated and are standing up for the importance of public radio and XPN. Help us finish strong. 💪 🙏

my kid just yelled a request for a Silver Jews song at me like a drunk guy yelling "Free Bird" at a concert. I've peaked as a parent.

It’s day 2 of the Fall fund drive. Thank you for your support. As you are aware, a rescission package eliminating all funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was passed by Congress. Federal support was important but your support is crucial. xpn.my.salesforce-sites.com/donate?c=701...
