Carrying over more content from Da Twitz
Back on Twitter, I had started on my list of Top 100 things I wanted to see/experience. I stalled out on this project as I prepared to ditch the site, but wanted to at least move over the list as it existed through #40 and some updates.

40 is, of course, not 100, but it’s certainly a start. I’ve also managed to take down 3 of these already, which is both good and anemic given that I had opportunities to check off far more. I do have a few things I know need to get added (HELLOOOOOOO Virginia Museum of Fine Arts) and I think that’s better reserved for it’s own update on Substack later in the week.
