Iron Man, I got a bone to pick with you. Why the HECK would you use iron on your helmet when carbon fiber exists?! I changed it. You’re welcome 😇

Spontaneous Combustion is REAL! (…sometimes)

Kevlar’s got that Iron Man reputaion, but did you know its properties are somewhere between a liquid and a crystal? Like, the LA girl in me is shook, it’s basically a crystal - just, you know, a bulletproof one… 🔮🔮🔮

Let me take you on a journey of cedar-stripping my airplane!

Building my own cedar strip canoe with my uncle was a dream come true! (one of the videos that got my channel started) It took 30 days to craft and another month to perfect the finish. The final result is a 43 lb, 14' beauty ready for the Adirondacks.

Disco balls are one of the objectively coolest things on the planet, so that why I decided to disco-fy this propellor, with help from the amazing 💥 Loook at it!

Hey guys, we wanted to throw out a quick PSA about a recent increase in fake accounts pretending to be Xyla and trying to scam people out of money. It's especially scary because they've been using live AI filters during video calls to make themselves look a lot like her, so it can be hard to detect that it's an imposter on first glance. As a reminder, these are Xyla's ONLY accounts:

🚨 THE MENTAL HEALTH IN AVIATION ACT (H.R. 2591) HAS UNANIMOUSLY PASSED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 🚨

A huge, HUGE congrats to everyone at for pushing this bill through, to and for a successful vote, and all of YOU who made your voices heard and called your congressperson. (Yes, they really did hear you!)

While this is a huge step forward, it isn’t a full win yet! Next stop is the Senate; if you’re looking for ways you can help follow and the best thing you can do right now is Donate.

Pushing a bill through Congress is not easy; to get this far we’ve held over 200 meetings with House members and our goal is to raise $75,000 by the end of the year to take on the Senate. I’ve put a link to donate in my bio!

But in the meantime, let’s celebrate. 🎉 Cheers to us, for making our voices heard. For seeing a problem affecting the safety of our pilots, air traffic controllers, and the flying public and taking genuine action to solve it. For successfully clearing the first major hurdle in passing a bill that will make this country better. CONGRATS TEAM 🇺🇸
