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.

“…where party strategists and activists shared a stage and mingled over room-temperature soft pretzels.”

I love the way this article is written.

"Today’s widespread use of AI-infused job boards makes it too easy for anyone to apply, especially the unqualified. LinkedIn’s job site is getting 9,500 applications per minute."

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.

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.

Five years ago today this truck absolutely saved my life on 225 outside Aurora, Colorado by taking the hit from a Jeep driving through a protest on the highway for Elijah McClain. There’ve been so many close calls, this one still pops in to my mind regularly.
