@wesdym Let me put it this way... College / Community radio stations are independent and not run by corporate media. #StephenKing not only volunteered for one, he started his own independent stations (some of which he's let go of). In #TheStand, #RayFlowers defies government decrees to shut down, and continues to broadcast information that the GOVERNMENT doesn't want out there. #WMPGFM does the SAME THING! Get it?!!

@wesdym Also, that's how it happened in the book as well. Martial Law was declared, and only official news outlets were allowed. Hmmmmm....

So, my buddy #DJShaxx rocks! He's going to help me finish my DJ training so I can be on the air! Maybe I will end up being #RaeFlowers / #RayFlowers after all. Hmmmmm...

Two fictional characters that I've identified with for many, many years... The first one is #FreemanLowell from the movie #SilentRunning, an astronaut and gardener who tries to preserve what's left of what used to be life on Earth -- housed in domes in space. The second character is #RayFlowers / #RaeFlowers from #TheStand -- a radio DJ who reports on what's going on, even though the government is trying to shut them down. (I'm trying not to have spoilers -- let me know if I've not succeeded). I still feel like both of those characters to this day -- trying to save nature around me, and attempting to report on what's going on in the midst of #polycrisis. And yes, the government did try and shut this instance down. Things are feeling very dystopian right now...
