@theroxy Trying to resolve an issue & no response to emails & number listed doesn’t work! Missed the act I flew all the way from Austin to see Sat 1/27. All promo materials said 9 PM event start. Yet artist went on at 8.30 PM. I know I wasn’t the only one misinformed!

It was an honor getting to know the Semander family for this piece & learning about Elena. Look for the film By @andrewshebay The Empty Chair. https://t.co/5eJBJGHbAi via @people #truecrime #truecrimeseries

Love @garboslobster story, it’s family owned and a lot of TLC is put into making their lobster rolls and crab cakes. Celebrating their new opening on Lamar (at the 626 N. Lamar space previously occupied by Counter Cafe). #garbosonlamar #lobsterrolls #atxeats #eeeeeats #eatingatx

For the second time in Austin weather history, the National Weather Service has issued a Wind Chill Warning. Not a watch, not an advisory, but a warning. https://t.co/SOo7PUV952

URGENT: Carriage horse collapsed in distress right now at 45 St/9th Ave unable to get up, likely from heat distress.

@NYCCouncil @NYCSpeakerAdams @NYCMayor - the world is watching. This horse may die, like many others. We must pass Intro 573 to end this abuse! @BobHoldenNYC

[Kristen OBrien @KristenGunrie]

@samjones Well there’s that, true, :-) but I wish I could have included so much more of the great content you provided in the piece.

[Kristen OBrien @KristenGunrie]

Just discovered a new writer @Rigorous_Mag and had to tweet praise for @MonicaWoo3 and her compelling true story about her Chinese mother, the "escort nun." Would love to see more from this writer! https://t.co/jVETiPYBbW
