She/her. My nephew says I like cats, coffee and books. All true! Also mountains and red rock deserts. Grant writer, recovering policy wonk, UU, UWC, outdoor lover. Plotting our eventual escape from the Denver ‘burbs to some place less crowded.
Can confirm!
Yes. Nearly impossible to play in tune.
HUGE shout-out and gratitude to Colorado voters who showed up to vote their values and say that feeding kids is a no-brainer! (You might say it’s eLLMMentary…) www.cpr.org/2025/11/04/p...

What I really want to know is, how do we prepare for Venezuelan/Argentinian style hyperinflation? What good does saving do if the money becomes worthless? I’m really f*cking scared. Like, plant a garden, stockpile basics scared. Should I buy a chest freezer and a ton of frozen food while I can???
I don’t think this is satire…
Surprisingly low! Just a bit achy.
Snowy clearing with skin track, mountain ridge in the back country and clear blue sky at the top. You can see scattered evergreen trees on the right and left. There is a person standing next to the skin track by a small tree.
Snow-covered mountain slopes with scattered evergreen trees and several ski and snowboard tracks in the powder snow. Clear blue sky at the top.
Mountain ridge in the background with snow blowing off to the top left. Foreground is an expanse of smooth snow. You can see a few evergreen trees in the distance.
Ski and snowboard tracks leading into a thick stand of evergreen trees in the foreground, in a shaded area. In the background you can see a mostly bare mountain peak with snow on the left side, still in bright sunshine, with clear blue sky behind it.
Strategies for maintaining sanity:
1. Backcountry bluebird powder days.
Two Colorado hospitals on Wednesday announced they will resume gender-affirming care for people ages 18 and younger.
For families of transgender children, the announcement brought a wave of relief after weeks of heartbreak and scrambling to find new places to receive care.
Tell me again how you’re “pro-life?” I don’t think those words mean what you think they mean…
Picture of snow-covered yard and what looks like a snow-covered walkway with a tree in the center. You can see a street with a row of houses lining it behind the tree.
Picture of a bank of snow behind a partially shoveled part. There is a banana stuck into the side of the snowbank for scale. The snow is just a little above the top of the banana.
Picture of snow-covered yard and shoveled walkway with a tree in the center. There is a cleared driveway in front of the tree. You can see a street with a row of houses lining it behind the tree.
Yay! Winter! Before and after our lovely neighbor streamlined snow removal in the driveway with his snowblower. So pretty.
Just sending hugs. The suckage is real.
It has been genuinely inspiring to see so much organic grassroots energy this week. If you attended a 50501 protest yesterday and are looking for a next national day of action, there are worker-led events in cities across the country tomorrow. Check the link to find one near you.

SO glad we owe this year! I’m scared if we were due a refund, we’d never see it…
It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.
Friend of mine refers to them as “swastikars” which I am adopting immediately.
That’s cute he thinks we’ll still have free and fair elections.
Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.
TWENTY.
As in, they call that getting slammed.
So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.
TWENTY is a lot.
Folding laundry is fine with a good audiobook or podcast. 100% agree on conference calls and grocery shopping!
Democrats aren’t powerless against Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab.
Senate rules are designed to protect the rights of the minority and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

Folks have already started this, I'm hearing stories back. We are bringing park rangers to tears, and that's Ok. They think we don't know what they're going through, so let's reach out. Public service is a calling. Somewhere sometime, a federal servant helped you or your family. Thank that agency.
We’re launching a #ThankYouBrigade for federal public servants starting today. Call or email any federal office that’s mattered to you. National Park. EPA. Local Social Security office. National Forest. Just say thanks for serving. Nothing else. No politics. Nothing that would cause trouble. 1/2
Dear Canada and Mexico,
We’re so, so sorry.

This is the way. Sue and sue and sue and sue and fuck their shit up. Then delay and delay and delay and delay the litigation. Trump himself has shown us how.
What can WE do!!??
** This is one of the most SUCCESSFUL ways in HISTORY to put the BRAKES on Authoritarian regimes **

Look, I am just a small town scholar of mass murder, so let me ask a simple, naive question: And then what?
