…

too late. everyone knows what ICE and you are doing.

Blaming DEI for the height of the Guadalupe River flood is a new low. (And another assault on common sense.)

What the everliving fuck?

why are dead Texans always ruining ted’s vacations?

That excuse was already thin during the ice storm.

This is from The Guardian. Forget Cancun or anything else the man is known for and nail Ted Cruz to this for the rest of his life. He did this LAST WEEK.

Yes, I did!

I was first term, too. That means that you would have been in Angels or Idiots when I was in Hangover! I pulled my charm bracelet out, too. Wore it yesterday.

Mystic has always been cell phone free (since cell phones became a thing). The Eastlands and staff would have had phones... But then you have to think about reception, which is spotty at the best of times.

Thank you.

Those were not killed at Camp Mystic. They were at Pot O' Gold, in a completely different area, and they were killed while the camp was evacuating.

It was necessarily unwelcoming or very welcoming. I just don't know what their experience was. And as I've said none of it takes away from what it does do for girls, including inculcating kindness, compassion, and empathy... Especially for those of us who knew Iney &Frank Harrison.

Something that I think needs to be made visible, acknowledged, and remedied. I don't know how LGBTQ+ friendly that area is. It wasn't really recognized when I was a camper or counselor, so I don't know the experience of more recent LGBTQ+ girls, or how welcoming they found it. I'm not saying that

I am not blind to the role that the Texas Hill country camps play in maintaining elite Texas communities, and in excluding access to people of color. That's on a structural level that I think is almost invisible to people who go to the camps And doesn't undermine kindness and decency. It is

It was situated there in 1926. The fact that it's been there for a hundred years, despite other floods, suggests that while flooding can get bad, it has never occurred at the levels that we have seen in this particular flood. From this point forward, I expect rebuilding to incorporate changes.

There's one inaccuracy in the story period The building with the blown out wall is the dining hall. Campers did not sleep there. It was however a gathering point, as was rec hall.

Trump's FEMA has a lot to answer for, but it didn't slash early warning systems. A combination of complacency and unwillingness to invest in potential disasters meant that people on the ground did not ever invest in early warning systems.

Camp Mystic Counselors Wrote Names of the Girls They Were Comforting On Their Arms While Waiting for Help: 'I Had to Stay Strong' Two camp counselors are being hailed as "guardian angels" after they distracted several girls during deadly thunderstorms that swept through Texas on July 4.

Jane Ragsdale was tribe Captain at Mystic when I was a first-year camper, in 1973. She was an amazing human being. So was Dick Eastland. They weren't perfect, and no human is. But they were genuinely kind, compassionate, well-meaning individuals.

My sister was a first year counselor,an "ette", at Mystic in 1987. I was a camper from 1973 to 1980, and a counselor through 1983.

One of the things to think about is that the other camp, pot of gold, was in mid evacuation when their tragedy hit in 1987. In 1987, the floodwaters never got near the Mystic cabins. They did cut part of the camp off from the other part. I would have stayed put with that history, too.

Natural Fountains LLC and the Eastlands abandoning the legacy camp and moving the whole further up the property, precisely because of the increased risk of much greater floods. If the camp survives. In this case, however, even the 1987 flood did not reach cabins.

Mystic was established in 1926. That's a long time ago. None of the flash floods in the area have ever reached as high as the cabins. There's a good amount of space between the river and even the dining hall, let alone the cabins. Now, with climate change, I would not be surprised to see

Texas lawmakers failed to pass a bill to improve local disaster warning systems this year A GOP state lawmaker who represents Kerr County says he likely would vote differently now on House Bill 13, which would have established a grant program for counties to build new emergency communicati...

Good to see at least one Texas lawmaker rethinking a vote. Let’s hope it turns into action so there isn’t another Camp Mystic tragedy. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/06/t...

My sister was a counselor at Mystic in 1987, and she said that she had never seen the water as high as was seen in this most recent flood. It did not threaten cabins. The most it did was cut Senior Hill off from the flats.
