First time skywriting. Looking for resistors and my WXPN people. I believe the hunted about who is hunting them more than I believe the hunters about who they say they are not hunting.
For a minute when I heard it was going to be Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds I kind of hoped some people had voted in Shatner for the #XPNcountdown.

Ok, I will confess that MacArthur Park was on my list. I don't really even like it much. But, I admire the heck out of the fact that she made that weird original into a cover people were able to move around to. #XPNcountdown

Not complaining at all, but is the #XPNcountdown actually a burrito wrapped around a filling of the 100 Greatest Versions of This Must Be the Place?

Marilyn Manson on WXPN in the AM hours is a new experience for me. Not necessarily a bad experience, just new. You never know what will pop up next in the #XPNcountdown.

The 500s and 400s are usually my personal sweet spot in any WXPN countdown list. That's where we hit a ton of songs I totally didn't think of but sure wish I did. #XPNcountdown

In 2016, Ken Paxton had the audacity to sit at my table and break bread with my family knowing full well that my son is trans, then SIX YEARS LATER wrote an opinion stating that families like mine shouldn't exist. Within days, a CPS investigator was in our home threatening to remove our children.🧵

If they are illegally detaining legal permanent residents by month two, they will be illegally detaining citizen dissidents by year two. If you want it to stop before it reaches you, we will have to stop it here.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

When Vance opened his month I thought I've never been this angry at another human in my life. Then the so-called president started talking and the brand new record got shattered before it could even hit the books.
