@TexasObserver @gusbova @justinmiller Very cute 🥰 Love y’all! Thanks for masking up! #CovidIsNotOver #TexasNeedsAnObserver

Today is the all-hands meeting for our staff. We are having a little baby shower for @gusbova and sharing some of our favorite children's books (the ones which haven't gotten problematic). @justinmiller got this adorable onesie printed. #TexasNeedsAnObserver #JournoLife #parenting

Every day my coworkers impress the hell out of me with their insights. The latest example: @josephinelee's essay on #AmericanBornChinese on #Disney+, which transforms what could have been a basic #TV review into a very personal examination of the struggle of colonized peoples in white supremacist America, with inspiration from the philosophy of Frantz Fanon. https://www.texasobserver.org/american-born-chinese-disney-frantz-fanon/

I'm so glad I get to work every day with these hella smart people. #TexasNeedsAnObserver
