Yooooo, this month's @TexasHighways is the 50th anniversary issue. It has a new design and lots of great new stories. Look for a photo essay on the Red River and small town travel recs.

Y'all will want to read @drdrbrockman on the New Apostolic Reformation: https://t.co/TMvTdTDCim

More bees are buzzing in Texas than ever before, saving landowners millions in property taxes thanks to a little-known state law. My story for @TexasMonthly

@mikehoinski Thanks Mike, it was terrific working with you as well! Your work behind the scenes really helped this story shine.

[Forrest Wilder @Forrest4Trees]

NEW from me: The "ghost wolves" of Galveston Island—coyotes with high levels of endangered red wolf DNA—have enchanted folks on the island, but the animals face threats from development, including a Jimmy Buffet-themed Margaritaville resort.

[Texas Observer @TexasObserver]

Texas sure can be odd! In our magazine, Molly Ivins takes us on a tour of some of the weirdest stories from the Lone Star state ... https://t.co/v3aDQaVqfJ

[Lise Olsen @LiseDigger]

This is scary folks: some of Texas’s biggest rivers and reservoirs are controlled by big chem companies who in some cases have priority over cities and everyone else. That could pose serious problems in times of drought….

"The wildfires that we're seeing are becoming larger, and they're increasingly burning closer to communities,” says @amymorsch, C2ES Director of Climate Resilience and Sustainability, to @collins_reports for @Sierra_Magazine. #climateresilience
