Never have I ever (until tonight)... updated two tablets, simultaneously, multiple times, to get them up to date so we could use them at an event. Hadn't been updated since 2022. Just part of my job as chief tech volunteer for Gina's work. On update 4 on one, and 2 on the other.

Sharing a happy story.

Haven't seen them yet, but have heard trumpeter swans in our back yard! Quick seach confirmed the call and that we are in the breeding zone. Turns out they're a success story, in 1933 there were fewer than 70, in 2010 46,000. And now we have at least one pair in our backyard.

As of last night, the Violence Against Women Act page on HUD was throwing a page not found error. So now we aren't protecting women fleeing domestic violence either?

Posting on Twitter never felt the same for me as FB. But I'll give Bluesky a try.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
