Shellshocked and losing concentration. Likes music. Reads books. Gardens, bakes, cooks. Lives in an antique house with old things. Loves my family and friends. Values fairness, freedom, and kindness but will cut off a jerk in a heartbeat. She/Her.

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.
Streaming the Mummers parade on YouTube and I hear somebody in the crowd go to their friend, "When is New Years this year?" and I have a pretty good idea about what 2026 is gonna be like. Happy New Year, everybody!

My 2025 Albums List tells me I'm angry, but I'd like very much to calm down.

Confession. I absolutely SUCK at admitting when I’m struggling or need help. I would much rather support and help others, and I deflect right into output of care instead of receipt of care. But folks, this has been a YEAR. I’m a lot closer to chucking it all in the bin than I’ve been in a while. BUT

#XPNCOUNTDOWN leftovers, one vote wonders, kudos to the one person who voted for Amy Winehouse's version of Moody's Mood for Love. SUPER WOW!! And a big thanks to the chooser of Pete Yorn's Bizarre Love Triangle for the fabulous festival memory.

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

I just realized I should share my XPN Covers bingo card in case anyone else wants to play along (I've already crossed a couple off!)

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.🧵
