This is a great read. It made me think, not just about rattlesnakes & their place in Texas folklore vs. the reality of them, but about how Texas in general seems to just attract tall tales that often completely obscure the reality of this land and its people. Great writing, @asherelbein.bsky.social
Our top story: Increasingly, the folkloric entity and the living animal have little in common. What, then, are these snakes? And what does their legendary rattle truly mean?

Does anyone in #Houston know of neighborhood level discords/chats, etc. that are reporting #ICE raids in real time? I know folks in #Minneapolis have groups like this to organize patrols, grocery runs, etc. If you know anything my DMs are open. @50501houston.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social
The @50501houston.bsky.social subreddit and account here aregreat for area wide actions, but I'm really looking for more neighborhood specific places to organize, especially because I live in a high immigrant population neighborhood.

It didn’t go far enough. It never went far enough.
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Man, if I were Iceland I’d immediately demand reparations for this from China, the U.S., India, the EU, & Russia (at the very least) and consider starting a generational blood feud with all of ‘em. And as a South Texan, they have my full support. Let me know if y’all need some citronella candles…
