Planning to take some photos of fireworks tonight with your phone? Here’s some tips from @dallasnews staff photographer @rosebaca.

⬇️⬇️⬇️
Many smartphones allow users to take a rapid succession of images simply by holding down the capture button for an extended period.
Some of the best fireworks photos are paired with an object in the foreground or background to make them even more spectacular.
Sometimes the best way to see fireworks is in motion.
Now go forth and snap those photos. 📸

Ever wonder who the Texas governor and other statewide elected officials are talking to and meeting with in Washington? We did.

Come look at what @tombenning and @stephanierlamm found out:

"Hello, Washington? It’s Texas"

#txlege

The vast majority of those interactions happen outside the public’s view. So we used open records requests to get the official schedules for Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton and others.
While not all meeting details or activities are recorded, even an incomplete look makes clear that these Texans are enjoying easy access in President Donald Trump’s Washington.

1/ Imagine lighting a match or flipping a light switch – the space around you ignites in a ball of flame, severely burning you or your family...
2/ More than two dozen homes have exploded in North Texas since 2006. The state could put financial pressure on the gas company to improve safety – but it usually doesn’t. interactives.dallasnews.com/2018/time-bomb/
3/ Fires and explosions along a massive network of pipelines owned and operated in Texas by @AtmosEnergy have resulted in at least 9 deaths and more than 22 serious injuries since 2006. interactives.dallasnews.com/2018/time-bomb/

Here are five tips for being a good white ally*

1) Don’t ask about what can easily be googled.

*I know that some people don’t like the term ally, but it’s what we got
2) Invest in your racial education. Read books, subscribe to podcasts, attend conferences and seminars. Educate yourself.
3) Talk to and educate other white folks. There are folks who will tune me out, but will hang on your every word. Find them and teach them.

Here are some tips I've developed over the years on how to feel JOY in your life...
People ask me about money so often, but the truth of life is this - all that’s ever going to bring you joy - or steal joy from you - are the things you do, and you can’t “do” money.
For most people, myself included, the structure of your life, and the goals that you have for yourself, don’t allow every minute of your day to be filled with just the fun stuff.

Many don't seem to understand why I object to @Telegram having unsafe, censorable public channels in an app that is promoted as a secure messenger. Some presumed I just don't understand how channels work. So let's talk about it:
Background: @Telegram has a special position in Iran. Its "public channels" are an important source of news for many low-tech users. Competing services are often blocked, but Telegram makes concessions to avoid this (like setting up local CDNs iranhumanrights.org/2017/07/telegr… ).
This is both a good and bad thing. On one hand, keeping people who don't understand and will never learn what Tor and VPNs connected to a big and difficult-to-moderate communications ecosystem is valuable, when the government largely has but two moves: "block" or "not block."
