You made this happen Xavier, we just cheered you on and told our friends. Your unique voice, the sharp knife of your insight, and your perspective from the trenches rings loud and clear through the chaos and deception du jour. Congratulations!
I'm thrilled for you! Surprised? Not in the least. You know who you are. You know what you want to say. And you communicate musically and brilliantly, making your point without a baseball bat. I'm so glad I found you. Keep tellin' it!
Thank you for your voice and your views. I continue to learn more deeply at 73ys ,following the voices too long kept difficult to find, now being silenced once more.
This is wonderful news. You are one of the clearest voices of truth; you specialize in pulling back the curtains to shine a light into the Trumpian darkness Americans find ourselves in. I am so thrilled that all these doors have opened up for you. My old hippie heart says "right on"!
New subscriber here— Wow. I am so glad I did. Love your invitation and introduction to your prior posting. I am one of the folks who came to your Substack because of your eloquent discourse about HCR. Your essay about Amazing Grace is one any aspiring writer should read. I look forward to reading your future work and glad to do my small part in keeping the good work you do moving ahead.
I think I was your 84th paid subscriber, I'm glad I beat the Thanksgiving Day rush! Congratulations on your success of reaching many more people. Love your writing and your ability to link ideas and viewpoints to conclusions that I might never have pondered. Kudos to you, kind sir.
This is how I found Xplisset too! His comments on other blogs/substacks rang 100% so clear and so true. From another and needed perspective/context as well.
Your writing and welcoming has always interested me as an old white lady in Montana! Cheers! Best wishes to you and yours for the holidays and thank you for your hard work! Better days with collective solidarity! Read on brother!
Ok, that one’s on me, Karen. I should’ve spelled it out in the Start Here. The post everyone’s talking about is called ‘WasPost Put Dr. Heather Cox Richardson’s Face On It, Then Erased Her Name.’ That’s the WaPo HCR mess.
I sadly let my WAPO subscription renew, had seen the article headline but had not read it. Thanks for your linked post in response. Loved it but obviously missed it these past few busy days
I found you by your comments on other people’s articles. Whoa. The first article of yours I read was a eulogy for the Dem Party centered around a Teddy P song. Then you wrote about the death of Shame. Triple whoa.

New people, read Xplisset's Nov. 23 post, "It Don't Hurt Now." Just do it.
Discovered your voice through HCR/WaPo and plan to stay. Thank you for the welcome.
New subscriber here. I read about your Substack in comments section of an HCR essay! Decided to check out your Substack and so, yeah, here I am.
What thing is the Wapo HCR mess?
