Prohibition started in Colorado in 1916. The Coors family pivoted to ceramics, using the rich clay deposits around Golden. That kept the family business afloat until the end of Prohibition in 1933. Coors Porcelain Company became CoorsTEK, which is still in Golden today.

Grateful to have a local journalist like Kyle Clark.
As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

We did a DNA test on our mutt, and it turns out he’s mostly chihuahua, husky, and poodle. With that context, I present to you: a dog who loves snow, but has meltdowns when it gets into his paw pads. Enter these little booties. He walks like a goofball inside, but then has snow zoomies in the yard.

Help restore my faith in the world. Who loves a good bog? Make yourselves known! For bogs are - time keepers, death defiers, artifact protectors, carbon trappers, water purifiers, food providers, beautiful mysterious places

@danirabaiotti.bsky.social would you mind adding me to the science feed? I keep flitting around without joining!

I just checked the contents of my pockets for a trinket with which to thank you, but all I found is this: 🦀

I’ll get back to creature photos in a sec, but for all my sci comm friends: I help run AMAs via r/AskScience on Reddit. It’s a great way to interact directly with an interested audience! I’ve had folks mention they’d never (knowingly) talked to a scientist before. LMK if you’re interested!

This is my little buddy Charlie. He’s a very smol ray of sunshine who learned to say, “Pretty bird,” and “I’m a banana!”

I guess people are using their first posts to introduce themselves, but if we’re being real here, my puppy is cooler than I am. This is Hobee, and he is a Very Good Boy. As you can probably tell from these photos, he’s into slapstick comedy and bad puns. I couldn’t ask for a better little buddy.

I’m not quite sure what to post, so here is my tiger salamander Buttercup wearing her oak leaf fascinator. Isn’t she dapper?

She’s a rescue from the local humane society and estimated to be about eight years old. And she’s delightful.
