New at The Barbed Wire: Eight years ago, a moment of humor shared between two women blossomed into a movement for weirdos in North #Texas.
In 2018, Haley Ballenger had just moved to Fort Worth from Houston, where her husband had family ties and deep roots but she didn’t know anyone. Casting about for a new social circle, the mother of two joined a book club and hit it off with another mom there like herself.
“We were joking one night,” Ballenger recalled. “Yeah, we're not regular moms, we're cool moms. We were like, yeah, we've got piercings and we've got tattoos and we say bad words. We're not even cool moms, we're weird moms – and it just stuck, right?”
Today, the Fort Worth Weird Moms Club group on Facebook has over 3,000 members, and Ballenger (and her team of volunteer administrators and moderators) have created a space where oddballs, iconoclasts and outcasts can build community ties with one another, and exercise their voices on the political stage. Every member gets to be a “Weird Mom” or just a “Weirdo” regardless of their gender. The Weird Moms host multiple events a year, including the highly anticipated annual ‘Weird Mom Prom’ and a youth Pride Prom, and they’ve just become a formal nonprofit with big plans for the future.

From Craig Lindsey in our magazine: This March marked one year since
veteran #Dallas journalist Robert Wilonsky returned to the Dallas Morning News
as a city columnist.He didn’t have to come back. Here's why he couldn't stay away from the city and
the work he loves ...
https://www.texasobserver.org/robert-wilonsky-dallas-newsroom-return-journalism/ -
His byline has appeared in publications going all the way back to 1986, when he was still in high school.
He thought he was done with reporting when he left the Morning News in 2020, but he just couldn't stop investigating life in his city.

Observers of the runoff have argued that the overall lack of disparity between Colin Allred and Julie Johnson has made this race less about progressive politics and more about personality and political grudges. https://www.texasobserver.org/allred-johnson-33rd-congress-runoff-dallas/
