"The suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel felt more like an omen." @tvbookstvbooks.bsky.social on censorship, the FCC, and the television industry over time. https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/indecent-disposal-fcc-and-the-censoring-of-late-night/

I had fun revisiting angry viewer letters & FCC speeches to write this piece. The brief but consequential run-up to the 1952 TV Code has a lot to offer as we reflect on the Colbert and Kimmel debacles. (Also, a Morel Orel mention.) Thanks to @sayanniething.bsky.social & @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social!

A rogue Highland Coo is amazing enough, but a rogue MINIATURE Highland Coo warrants a state holiday at the very least. Someone please write a ballad about Lefty. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This gorgeous drawing is one of 3 commissions of historical cemeteries in South Texas where family members were buried in the 19th & early 20th centuries. I especially love this one bc of the winding cactus & overgrowth of native plants. Highlights the uniqueness of the rural cemeteries of the #RGV.
