Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Dad's dad: Christmas tree farmer. Mom's dad: Navy Sea Bee in WWII putting up telephone lines for Allied troops to communicate, then repaired telephone lines for AT&T (then called Ma Bell) for the rest of his working life.

I am normally very critical of people who get annoyed at the presence of students in a college town but the number of people in the Dark Horse right now who have been alive for fewer years than I have been drinking at the Dark Horse is unacceptable. This is our farewell tour.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Living car-free in Boulder is apparently my greatest crime.

My grandfather fought Nazis so I could fight NIMBYs...and Nazis.

... the countries that build public transit well, quickly, & cheaply all have something in common: most of the work is done by the government itself, using in-house expertise, rather than farming various parts out to private companies under the bullshit theory that private always = more efficient.

We are so close to CDs making a comeback, I can feel it.

No Kings protest in Boulder was amazing!

Some people never took constitutional law and it shows.

Life hack: clean your tv screen during a hockey game. It’s much easier to see all the smudges.

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry.
If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

I know, I know, first world problems, but I can’t believe how expensive my pet insurance is now.

I move that in future presidential inaugural years, we move Dry January to June instead.

I can’t explain it, but today has real Friday vibes.

I just used the Pythagorean theorem in a non-academic context. Please clap.

Guest opinion: Brian Keegan, Adrian Fine and Jane Hummer: Progressive politics are mainstream in Boulder Community engagement is an important part of local policymaking. But study after study after study after study shows that commenters at public meetings (and on Nextdoor) tend to be unrepresentative…

Thoughts and prayers to my dog who is trying to survive the most stressful week of his year: when all my Black Friday shopping packages arrive.

I’m 43 years old and I just discovered tonight that I actually do like guacamole.

Yes, not too often though. Last post was for Veterans Day.

Yup.

True story: one of the reasons I'm most reluctant to leave the other site is because Barack Obama follows me there. I don't actually know how I earned his follow, but it's one of the proudest accomplishments of my life.

Opinion: How nonprofits can better help our unhoused neighbors The amount of savvy and persistence it takes to navigate services is a steep barrier. Starkly missing is anything resembling a roadmap.

Great piece in the Boulder Weekly about homeless outreach and how to make a difference from Boulder Feet Forward at Haven Ridge program manager Libby Ogletree!

A bit more introduction of myself: I live in Boulder, Colorado. I grew up in Maine and graduated from Bowdoin College before moving west. I am passionate about local politics, climate action, dogs, the Nuggets, tequila, and quilting. I was permanently banned from Nextdoor.

Okay, hi, I guess I should make my first post here. My name is Jane, people should know who I am.
