Happy for NYC, or course, but actually thrilled for my own city which totally flipped the city council to people that appear to care about and understand us, despite a huge difference in campaign funding and resources. Aurora’s such a great place to live, happy that our council thinks so too now.
NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang

I put a little basket of snacks in the LFL at the elementary school by my house this weekend. Every night this week, I’ve checked in on it and refilled what got taken. I kind of love being the snack fairy? It’s like a tiny magic making goldfish and applesauce appear every morning.

Maybe Bluesky is too earnest for some people, but I really like how everyone is talking about donating to food banks and mutual aid today. What a nice corner of the internet, remembering in this stupid time, we have to take care of each other.

@ellearee.bsky.social and I were talking once about growing up in NPR families and how good it was for our brains to hear the news coming from women. Like, riding around to softball practice listening to the founding mothers was a subtle lesson that women were voices of authority.
NPR Founding Mother Susan Stamberg is retiring. She became the first woman to anchor a nightly national news program in 1972, and helped loosen up the serious, stodgy sound of radio hosts.
Opinion: Susan Stamberg, trailblazer and NPR Founding Mother, retires

There are many things to be said about the state of things, but here I am, a single woman at 44, taking a week off her career to camp, hike, read, and rest, all on public lands, with just my dog for company. Historically, not a lot of that was possible/safe, and it’s worth fighting for.

Fellow Denverites, if you have not seen the Kent Monkman show at the Art Museum, get yourself there this week before it closes. Moving and remarkable.

Happy Colorado day! I’m so lucky my parents moved us out here in 1989 so I could grow up in one of the nicest places on Earth.

Everything is terrible but I went for a really nice run today, and I thought about Maggie Smith’s Good Bones. We could make this place beautiful.

I’ve been trying to pay more attention to my local government since some of them made us national news. Three months of going to or listening to city council meetings really hasn’t inspired my confidence in these folks.
“Mike Coffman, somebody’s going to rezone your ass, and when they do, it’s going to be a good day,” one speaker said. “Done,” Coffman said quickly while gesturing to hang up on his call.

The NIH paid for some of my graduate education and half of it happened on their campus. And then I spent the next 11 years at an academic safety net hospital in the South, where I clinically took care of all kinds of folks and trained students for a decade.
Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better…
-For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return.
-Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)
