As floods have destroyed communities in Texas, I’ve watched my public media colleagues work 12-16 hour days to share lifesaving emergency alerts, craft respectful obituaries honoring victims and connect survivors with resources to rebuild their lives. None of this is "leftist."

Since reading "The Power Broker" earlier this year, I've become one of those people who can't stop talking/thinking about it.

For @washingtonpost, I spoke with others going through this: https://t.co/zWPZDYOXMr

If you haven’t heard from me in a while, this is why. If you have, then you know this is all I’ve been talking about for a year.

Presenting! My love letter to the very special place that raised me: the Rio Grande Valley 🌴✨

Loved visiting the National Cowgirl Museum for @TexasHighways

[Texas Highways Magazine @TexasHighways]

An exhibition at the National Cowgirl Museum in Fort Worth puts the spotlight on the women who compete in the male-dominated world of charrería. https://t.co/oA69W5gCvr

I wrote about some Texas history for @TheArtNewspaper

[The Art Newspaper @TheArtNewspaper]

Art projects in Dallas and Houston aim to preserve Texas's historic Black freedmen’s towns, shedding light on the neglected communities created by formerly enslaved African Americans

Enjoyed working on this for @Narratively!

[Narratively @Narratively]

If you're anything like us, you probably think about this all the time: How Much ‘Fiction’ Are We OK With in Our Nonfiction? @marisacharp asked 4 nonfiction writers, @krysmalcolmbelc, @SejalShahWrites, @anikawriter & Jerald Walker where they draw the line: https://t.co/6XaPTDi7rX

Update: Multiple UT faculty tweeted out a statement condemning the police presence on campus and announcing another protest tomorrow at 12:15 p.m. Read more about what happened today: https://t.co/GaaAIOnxcB

Back in the newsroom. Some quick thoughts on what's unfolding on UT campus. All this subject to change as things develop. Protestors appeared disciplined, to employ standard tactics of civil disobedience as police removed them from the lawn.... 1/

Right now on the @UTAustin campus students are holding a pro-Palestinian protest. One of the organizers also says UT has not done enough to keep Muslim, Palestinian, and pro-Palestinian students on campus safe either.

[Science Friday @scifri]

A total solar eclipse is visible from Earth about once every 18 months. But the path of totality—the narrow strip of Earth where the eclipse is visible—is always changing. And one day, they won’t be visible from Earth at all.

@miaabbe @nytimes Thanks, Mia!!

[Marisa Charpentier @marisacharp]

I have a story in the @nytimes print edition today! And I walked to 10 different stores in Brooklyn trying to find a copy lol.

Seems most bodegas and “news stands” don’t sell papers anymore. Finally found one at a Walgreens in Brooklyn Heights.

“I hate the word celibacy,” the comedian and storyteller Hope Woodard told the audience on Tuesday at her show “Boysober,” in which she details her yearlong break from sex and dating. One fan called it “this year’s hottest mental health craze.” https://t.co/hK87dXSwTW

[Marisa Charpentier @marisacharp]

For my first story for the @nytimes, I talked to influencer Hope Woodard about her yearlong break from sex and dating. She’s calling it “boysober.” https://t.co/frQu4UhJe7
