Now that a new generation woke up going "who the hell is Elizabeth Taylor" thx to Taylor Swift, I wrote a comic book about her ages ago and you can read it! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/tribute-di...

"I settled into my camping chair beneath a canopy of lilac and pecan trees near the bank of the creek, doused myself in bug spray, and opened 'Poems & Prayers,'" writes Dina Gachman. https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/matthew-mcconaughey-poems-prayers/

I went into the woods with Matthew McConaughey's Poems & Prayers and this is what happened, y'all www.texasmonthly.com/arts-enterta... @texasmonthly.bsky.social

Charlie Sheen spoke to our reporter about his new memoir and documentary, in which the actor known for “Two and a Half Men,” “Platoon” and a debauched life that nearly killed him puts it all out there.

This is a first. My profile of Charlie Sheen is today’s Great Read in the @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/b...

"It’s a lovely reminder that despite what’s going on in the world, despite the grim news cycle, wonder still exists, if you stop and take the time to look." Thanks @kristastevens.bsky.social for understanding why I was so pumped to write about snails longreads.com/2025/08/08/t... @longreads.com 🐌

Sunday @nytimes.com read about the wild world of Texas cotillion! 🪩🪩

“A lot of people don’t understand the fascination with snails or why anyone would ever have a snail as a pet, but they’re so interesting to watch. I could talk about snails forever.”

Some days it feels like the world is falling apart but you know what helps? SNAILS! I swear, the sound of a snail chewing lettuce can be deeply healing. See for yourself! www.texasmonthly.com/travel/snail... @texasmonthly.bsky.social

Being my dad's dating coach kind of sucks, so I wrote about setting him up with Christie Brinkley! substack.com/home/post/p-...

Some thoughts about this horrible weekend in Texas 💔 dinagachman.substack

We were watching a nature show with orcas eating seals and my kid goes, “Well, that’s how life works.” I feel he’s fully prepared for the world

Has anyone ever actually dropped dead from the agony of listening to their husband smacking? Because I’m afraid this is how I might go down

What a perfect time to support PBS by watching the 4th and final episode of Texas Monthly Presents: The Story this week. The episode is about grief and you can check local listings for times www.texasmonthly.com/texas-monthl... @pbs.org @texasmonthly.bsky.social

Do yourself a favor and read this today. It's beautiful, and it might make you feel a *little* better about humanity right now, which is something we all need www.newyorker.com/culture/essa...

It's wonderful when you check to see when a 2,000 word article is due and you realize it was due ...YESTERDAY! I always respect deadlines but the end of the school year is murder for parents. I cannot remember to pack swim shorts for freaking field day AND a deadline. I'm not Meghan Markle.

In a shining example of my mom’s mantra “it takes all kinds,” these 2 books published on the same day 😂💫

Decked out in her pink accessories, Galveston's Nikki Johnson-Kunz isn't afraid of stingrays, wild weather, or the physically grueling work that she so often does. But she does worry about the future of shrimping in Texas. www.texasmonthly.com/travel/texas...

Don't let the pink bling fool you. The Texas Shrimp Diva has endured near fatal stingray gashes and chemical burns, and she's fighting for an industry, and a way of life, that she loves @texasmonthly.bsky.social www.texasmonthly.com/travel/texas...

Can a sequined top or an Espresso Martini trucker hat make you forget that the world is upside down and sideways? Maybe!!? I went deeper behind the scenes of small town boutiques for @texasmonthly.bsky.social What I found surprised me. 🎀 www.texasmonthly.com/style/inside...

I'm so honored to be one of the journalists featured in this new @texasmonthly.bsky.social series THE STORY. It premiers in May & I hope you'll watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKeo... @pbs.org

Transcribing an interview and when the person said Trumpist America my finger accidentally hit caps lock to make it TRUMPIST like I was being cursed 🤯 (I immediately deleted it and changed to all lower case)

I love working with @dgachman.bsky.social. She can write about anything. Here she is with a wonderful remembrance of Houston's Montrose neighborhood, where she came of age in the "Reality Bites" era--for @texashighways.bsky.social. texashighways.com/culture/revi...

Shit, this breaks my heart
