Honestly, it's wild to see posts like this from former high school teachers. These humans who saw so much in me at a time I saw so little in myself. Grateful to grow in to the potential they kept telling me I had.

Read "These American Crossroads," please.

Boulder-sized boulders and dollars-for-diggities, Colorado really does have the best units for weights and measurements.
Rep Lauren Boebert's now-explained campaign expenses at a Kid Rock concert were tied to her $12,000/person fundraiser in a suite at the Kid Rock show.

That's about $521 for every diggy-diggy-diggy in Bawitdaba, or $173 on a per diggy basis.

State lawmakers were remembering a colleague. For organizers, a coworker. Community members, an advocate. For many, most simply, a friend.

Who knew this freckled-face kid would grow up to defend journalism?

For her birthday, all she wants is $8/mo.

During the Matching Grant, $8 becomes $192 for the Yellow Scene staff. Our goal is to reach 1000 supporters to remain unbought & unbossed.

Had coffee this morning with a college mentor I hadn’t seen in-person for almost 15 years. To be met as a peer, swapping stories and advice, was a surreally validating experience.

Call an old teacher, find a way to catch up with them. Seriously. Especially all you j school grads.

Colorado job hunters are using AI. So are employers, scammers and even the state's labor department.
The job market in Colorado and around the country is pitting AI generators against AI filters and leaving real workers and hiring managers feeling trapped in the middle.
