On Monday @freshparsley.bsky.social won the Pulitzer Prize for his feature last year about his family and the flood last year. Coincidentally, this week was our last week of print production for the June issue, featuring this follow-up story by Aaron, on the months since the flood.

Director Smriti Mundhra made the best death-penalty doc since The Thin Blue Line. Now “I Am Ready, Warden,” which she worked on with @keribla.bsky.social, just got nominated for an Oscar. Here’s my review: texasmonthly.com/news-politic... @texasmonthly.bsky.social
