Arnessa Garrett

Some public news: I will be joining @theadvocatebr @theadvocateaca @NOLAnews as State Enterprise Editor starting in December. It's been an emotional day as I have to say goodbye to my @dallasnews colleagues. But looking forward to doing great journalism in my home state!

@GatorsFB has entered the conversation!

@nhannahjones I should say they tend to happen not in wealthy areas and not in low-income areas. We should look at the demographics of where they are happening.

@nhannahjones It’s not even hard. It’s even true. Elites are not that concerned about gun violence because it doesn’t kill their kids in private schools. School shootings happen mostly in public schools. Gun control should be a concern for middle-class parents who send kids to public schools.

What would it look like if Democrats ran an anti-gun campaign the way Republicans ran the anti-CRT campaign?

@anxious_maria @statesman You did a great job at the border! Loved hearing your reports on @keratx Look forward to seeing your work @statesman

Programming update: I’ll be joining @Statesman as its new K-12 education reporter, starting April 19. My last day at TPR is tomorrow. I’m sad to leave the incredible public radio world and border beat but excited to report on schools where I grew up! 1/

All these people talking about Caroline Kennedy’s son at this convention. All y’all have no idea how jaws dropped at JFK Jr. at the 1988 convention. No idea. Watch and learn. #DemConvention youtu.be/C34QiUdEROc

OK, #19Represents, amazing program. Came to hear Kamala and the Duchess but was totally blown away by @ProfessorCrunk. I see what you did there.

@SocialTwurker @caityweaver I used to have a buckwheat pillow. Yeah, they are so comfortable but there does come a time when they shed much you have to give them up!

@caityweaver Ok I’ve had the same pillow for 22 years. It’s made of buckwheat shells and I bought it for my dorm and still use it. I miss it on vacation. It’s kinda heavy and sheds buckwheat shells but it molds to my head. I’m afraid of how many mites live in it but I can’t give it up

I’m looking for a pillow that is priced so low it looks like a mistake but it’s also the best pillow on earth. Does it exist? If so, please share any details you have.

@caityweaver As usual, yours is the only good take. But mainly, I need people to stop being productive so I can catch up! I’m still trying to complete projects I started in 1992.

It's one of my dearest wishes that, in this period of hell, we normalize doing about 20% less, collectively. My review of life in general: way too much going on. Like trying to read every single placard while running through a museum while appreciating art nytimes.com/2020/04/01/sty…

If it had not been for this quarantine, I might have missed this and never known who @larryowenslive is. Now I’m a fan! #QuaratineLife #quarantinediscoveries

@cscudder @dallasnews @byjenemily @LaVendrickS @cassandrajar @DomDiFurio @catherinemarfin @danabranham @natalykeo @jamiedhancock Tea time is the best time of day.

a little self-isolation can’t stop the @dallasnews tea time slack channel from getting together in the afternoons

@NicGarcia I'm already eating cheeseballs!

I will have at least one healthy thing on this Election Day.

@caityweaver Sigh. No one so far has done what you asked. Well I did. 35 friends said it was too short. 55 friends said it was just right. And I am no longer friends with those 10 other people. Best to you, Caity!

I'm getting feedback that this story is long. Just checked and it seems the perfect length...Can you click the link and see if it's long? Before telling me if it is, please send the link to 100 friends, ask them to check if it's long & collate the results nytimes.com/2020/02/27/sty…

Got my copy of the #1619 Project signed by @nhannahjones tonight. She has done amazing things for journalism and changing what is possible for journalists like me. #wallacehouse #1619project
