Will Evans started Deep Vellum Press in Dallas 11 years ago — and has been a tireless advocate for books in translation, North Texas authors, North Texas bookstores and the local literary scene in general.
She Campaigned for a #Texas School Board Seat as a #GOP Hard-Liner. Now She’s Rejecting Her Party’s Extremism.
Courtney Gore, a Granbury ISD school board member, has disavowed the far-right platform she campaigned on after finding no evidence that #students were being indoctrinated by the district’s curriculum. Her defiance has brought her backlash.
Happy Guilted Into Buy Flowers-And-Chocolate Day, And Maybe Stand In An Endless Line For A Horribly Crowded Brunch Day for those that celebrate!
(hint: if you truly want to celebrate your mother, do what we always did for my mom, and do the buffet the week BEFORE or the week AFTER, when the buffet is better and you don't have crowds; I also used to go to the chocolate/flower stores the DAY AFTER and had gotten flowers for 90% off and chocolates for 50-75% off... 😉
@ai6yr Steak dinner comin’ up next weekend. As for this morning, we have a brand-new “not just good, but legit freaking great” #bagel shop that just opened around the corner from us in far north Dallas. Yeah, you read that right — New York bagels in #Dallas (n.b.: it ain’t the water, it’s the recipe & the technique). We bought Mom an everything bagel, and an olive cream cheese schmear which we haven’t been able to find locally here in a decade. Happy wife, happy life! 🥰
“About 100 pro-#Palestine#students at the University of #Texas at #Dallas held a sit-in along the hallway that leads to the school president’s office …
The students’ main demand is for the university to pull investments from companies that ‘are producing the jets, the missiles and the bombs that are being used in #Gaza right now’”
Call it another late #ThursDeath for this week or an early one for next week, but this EP that DYSMORPHIA put out last year is RIDICULOUS and I have it #NowPlaying
“Here we are in downtown Fort Worth, a place I had visited so many times ... and never did I learn about this man and what happened here. We have no idea about the ghosts that are walking the streets of Tarrant County.”
The holy month of Ramadan begins next Monday, and while it will be observed by approximately 1.9 billion people around the world, its significance and rituals are a mystery to many. Ambreen Hamed and her husband, Faraz Ahmed, have established the Texas Suhoor Fest in an effort to help others understand the season. Eater takes a look at what to expect from the free event, which will be held at the University of Texas in Dallas from 11 p.m. through 6 a.m. on Saturday March 23.
Hi everyone. I'm going to share a new #introduction.
I'm a #nonbinary (they/them) movement journalist in my 40s, currently based in Central #Texas. From 2022 until today's layoffs, I was Digital Editor at the @TexasObserver. I've been a writer, journalist and editor since at least 2011, when I got my start on the primordial political blog Firedoglake. My involvement with the Occupy Wall Street movement helped make me a journo and I've always worn my bias on my sleeve.
In October, I traveled to #MeowWolf Grapevine, a unique sprawling and psychedelic art installation which begins in a mutated suburban home ... all hidden away in a massive shopping mall. This also was part of the @TexasObserver magazine ... and is one of my favorite ever assignments. https://www.texasobserver.org/meow-wolf-grapevine-brrrmuda/ (8/?)
A reporter attended the "Forbidden Courses" at the "University of Austin" which currently meets on a weird #Dallas-area office complex owned by Harlan Crow, with faculty like Bari Weiss. It's every bit as pathetic and dangerous as you imagine.
