Before I cancel my Hulu/Disney subscription I absolutely had to watch the Lilith Fair doc (produced by Dan Levy). Went twice and still the best experiences I’ve had at a music festival. I miss it so much. #lilithfair #buildingamystery #womenrock

I have a non-official little free library. I keep an excel spreadsheet inventory including title, author, genre, sub-genre, condition, date added, date removed (based on when last checked), etc. I am ridiculous. I love it. It makes me happy.

The company running license plate tracking cameras across Colorado has insisted that immigration agents don't have direct access. Flock now says they were wrong. CBP has access. (Using license plate info for immigration enforcement is prohibited by Colorado law) #copolitics

The EPA said this week it would revoke its own ability to fight climate change. It’s the latest move in an extraordinary pivot away from science-based protections in the U.S.

If you’re in the Denver area, make sure you stop by one of the overpass protests this week (they are organized I think every week if different locations). They are really fun and the organizers bring all of the giant signs. www.reddit.com/r/50501CO/co... #denverprotests
