in 2024, i think i really came into my own as a writer and reporter. I got to do a lot of really really fun stories and stories that were really important to me. here are more than a few stories i'm really proud of, for @chron:

Yup, yup, yup, m'hmm: @ThePhantomTX wrote about King of the Hill and verbalized everything I love about this show. perhaps one of my fav pieces of all time and a must read if you're a Texan, shug https://t.co/9IA4gf5qr4

Some personal news: Today is my last day @chron. It’s been an honor working with this talented team and getting to tell stories in my hometown. As for what’s next.. I’m headed to Sam Houston State University, where I’ll be teaching journalism and advising the student newspaper.

good piece from @ThePhantomTX on the charles barkley galveston debacle and subsequent apology, with a mention of another good galveston follow, @JohnWFerguson https://t.co/GFZfRCReVv

Chris, as usual, you turned in another gem.

You must read @ThePhantomTX's very good piece on the Butthole Surfers ahead of the Matador Records reissue of PCPPEP, Psychic... and Rembrant Pussyhorse How the Butthole Surfers became Texas' most influential punks in @chron https://t.co/cwyaECFyvF

Galveston's first Black cemetery was finally added to the National Register of Historic Places. Now, preservationists will have to identify the hundreds of people buried there with no markers. Good dispatch from @ThePhantomTX in @chron https://t.co/Yh6VsB7CKc

.@ThePhantomTX always has some of my favorite stories with his dispatches from Galveston, and his latest on the life of Mardi Gras beads is no exception https://t.co/2NjjVkx7iD
