Listening to Beth Van Duyne's phone call "town hall" because she's too much of a coward to host a public town hall for her constituents. It's MAGA propaganda thus far with very, very carefully "selected" questions.

My latest for Texas Highways, in which I, a sober person, enlist my husband to be a taste tester so we can check out a cool, Dallas bar. Spoiler: he said the cocktail he had was delicious!

In Austin for work staying near the arboretum, but if memory serves, there is no actual arboretum in the sense of a place where they cultivate a garden and trees.

RIP to Cecile Richards, former head of Planned Parenthood, and all around amazing human and activist. I had the honor of meeting her once in Dallas, and she radiated warmth, intelligence, and humor. We were so lucky to have her advocating for our rights for as long as we did.

The best thing about having a non-native-Texan spouse and living in a state with some non-intuitively pronounced city names (see: Manor, Buda, Humble), I can convince my husband any Texas town name is pronounced in the wildest way possible.

Very much worth a read.
The murder of UnitedHealthcare’s C.E.O. is one symptom of the American appetite for violence; his line of work is another, Jia Tolentino writes. For a lot of people, a denied health-insurance claim can instantly bend the trajectory of a life toward bankruptcy and misery and death.

As a Fort Worth native, it’s truly a bizarre delight to watch Landman and see my sleepy hometown on the small screen. TCU? Rivercrest? The Fort Worth Club? I’m just waiting for the Montgomery Street Cafe to show up.
