I appreciate that Texas Monthly has a whole labeled category of wildlife and nature articles and that category is called "Critters." I particularly enjoyed this latest entry on the Texas Toe-biter. #bugs #texas #TexasMonthly https://www.texasmonthly.com/travel/swimmers-beware-texas-toe-biter/

Currently listening to the Texas Monthly true crime podcast regarding this article - look it up in your player of choice, 'Stephenville’ - not sure if the article has spoilers (I haven't read it) so be careful! https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/susan-woods-stephenville-murder-hidden-killer/ #TrueCrime #TexasMonthly #Stephenville

Engrossing investigation, story & writing about #RobertJohnson 's biographer, and about the musician himself, kinda.

📷 #BOLO | This Nazi #JudicialActivist MF right here—Texas Federal District Court Judge #MatthewKacsmaryk

His ruling against legal #mifepristone today maybe probably gave him a "lasting more than four hours."

The suit he ruled on was venue-shopped and filed in his jurisdiction to give it the best chance of success.

Two weeks ago, #TexasMonthly wrote about this bigot's background and why his ruling today was a fait accompli.

It would be really cool if you could support @TexasObserver by either subscribing to their stuff, donating to their go fund me drive, or both! Their organization is considering closing up shop. #TexasMonthly #Texas

#texasmonthly I hope the Corpus Harbor Bridge debacle is eligible for the 2023 #bumSteerAwards - its gonna cost #texas billions and billions.

Anyway, what sparked this is having to read yet another “man bites dog” story about #TheSatanicTemple, this one in #TexasMonthly, where the reporter literally can’t seem to go any further than “wow! #Satanists sure seem nice” and “did you know #Satanism doesn’t mean worshiping #Satan and drinking blood?”

There’s no conspiracy here. It’s just a great big money machine, and as long as everyone is willing to play their parts in the dynamic that’s been created, the machine keeps turning.

You get paid to write stories that fit a certain structure, people talk to you knowing the structure they’re expected to fit, advertisers know what they’re sitting next to.

But looking at the harder, complicated, real events and dynamics more often than not throw sand in that machine. Well, if the gears stop, the money does, too.

And nobody gets to pay their rent with integrity or a job well done.

Hey Y'all!

We're a ~100-y-o local paper out in the Big Bend region of far west Texas batting above our weight.

Here's a recent article we co-published with #TexasMonthly about how deceased migrants are found in the desert in increasing numbers, and justices of the peace are working to process, identify and repatriate the bodies with little governmental assistance

Enjoyed the new #TexasMonthly piece on the retirement tour of the great #RobertEarlKeen. Caught his last Charlotte show at the Neighborhood Theatre earlier this year and trekked to Texas for the two final performances at John T. Floore's Country Store in #Helotes. Truly, the end of an era. https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/businside-robert-earl-keen-epic-final-tour/
