If you’ve found value in my work, and have the means during this difficult time, a subscription to the Atlantic supports me and also my incredible colleagues. Their work uplifts mine. Prizes honour individuals, but journalism takes a village. https://t.co/3Tci4qavqb

@bobbycblanchard @rossramsey Perhaps someone was jealous of your flamingo shirt and lashed out. 🙃 #FlamingoEnvy

@Faith_Salie Wait, does Will suspect himself? 🤣
Seems like a confession.

“Wildlife conservation in Texas lost three of its finest as they so honorably and dutifully carried out their calling to help survey, monitor and protect the bighorns of their beloved west Texas mountains.”

I had hoped it was a glitch, but no...The @CDCgov hospital capacity dashboard has gone dark. @CDCDirector has said CDC still has access to the data but apparently the public no longer does.

@erincargile Congratulations 🙂

@DaLyahJ “Moana passes with flying colors. I love Moana because my grandmother came from an island, Walpole Island (on the border of Ontario, Canada and Michigan), and I thought about how she would feel as a child watching it. I didn’t feel like she would be ashamed to be Indigenous.” 👍🏽

[Sangita Menon @GOATCSPANFan]

@ClaireMcInerny @KUT Congratulations!!! Well deserved!

[Sangita Menon @GOATCSPANFan]

@berthahidalgo Whoa! I remember reading an article about that study. I just kept wondering what antibody tests they were basing that entire study on.

[Sangita Menon @GOATCSPANFan]

@treyshaar 😁

[Sangita Menon @GOATCSPANFan]

@DaLyahJ I’ve never loved you more than I do in this moment.

[Sangita Menon @GOATCSPANFan]

@DaLyahJ That baby has been listening to too much news. Might I suggest letting Sugar watch Moana. It’s very empowering. The ocean chose her! There is also a crazy chicken. 😁❤��🐓⛵️

Here's what the 2020 Census self-response rates look like in counties around Austin, Texas as of April 18th.

Half of the households in Travis County have responded to the census. That's above the Texas rate of 46% and just under the national rate of 50.5%.

Here's what the 2020 Census self-response rates look like in counties around Austin, Texas as of April 16th.

More than half of the households in Williamson and Comal Counties have responded putting them above the national self-response rate. Travis County is almost there.

@berthahidalgo I think it would be more cost effective (and neater) if you just bought her a packet of Hanes athletic socks that you pretended belong to the family.

[Sangita Menon @GOATCSPANFan]

@rickholter @keratx I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sorry you couldn’t grieve close to the others who loved him.

May he Rest In Peace.
My you get all the hugs you need.

[Sangita Menon @GOATCSPANFan]

@berthahidalgo I think her reluctance to give a paw was because she didn't want to encourage people to shake hands/paws at this time. She's a good girl. ❤️
