Matthew Gray's Metal Sculptures Bring a New Perspective | Glasstire Sarah M. Vasquez on the frenetic, large-scale metal sculptures created by West Texas-based artist Matthew Gray.

My latest for @glasstire.bsky.social:

Welp, I found my photos used in a publication w/o my knowledge or consent, one of my favorite journalism professors passed away today (f*ck cancer), & I have to replace my windshield b/c of a foul ball. So I need to pick up some work! Hire me for your writing or photography needs or buy a print! TIA

I hate that I have to decide what to eat every day.

Art Galleries Collaborate in Presidio | Glasstire Sarah M. Vasquez writes about two new art galleries that have opened in Presidio, a small town in West Texas.

I've been a journalist since I was 17 years old, and receiving edits from an editor without feeling imposter syndrome has yet to go away.

Summer's here! And it's already too hot. But what I love about living in here is that we have cooler temps & there's some reprieve from sunset to sunrise. Still, the sun is not your friend!

Y’all. Y2K is streaming on Max now. I highly recommend it for fans of comedic horror and my classmates with our reunion coming up (I’m already having feelings about it). The references from this era and the soundtrack had me LOLing the whole time.

Selena y Los Dinos shares the singer’s journey through never-before-seen family movies & photos, archival & new interviews. It feels like a small feat for a documentary to reveal so much during a time of social media & cameras in everyone’s pocket, but this film is a gift for the fans & the family.

"Selena y Los Dinos" Gives Us Personal Look at the Singer I was skeptical when I learned about the documentary, "Selena y Los Dinos," thinking there couldn't be anything left to tell. I was wrong.

Growing up Mexican-American in TX, Selena was, of course, a big part of my life, but I'll admit that I was initially skeptical when I learned about the Selena y Los Dinos documentary. This year is 30 years since her death, so I didn't think there was anything new to share. Yeah, I was wrong.
