Another canned coffee drink review! I absolutely did not have high hopes for this La Colombe beverage. And goodness, was I wrong. It tastes like liquid pumpkin pie. I'm not kidding. I probably wouldn't have known this was a coffee drink if the can didn't tell me so.

Saint Dolly 💔 Dolly Parton was the human embodiment of love, of kindness, of happiness, of making others smile and laugh, of generosity, of lifting up others, of not taking one's self seriously, of unapologetically owning who you are, and of living as whoever you want to be.

This week: a lot of bands questioning American patriotism, a bunch of bands playing next weekend's Punk Rock Saves Lives Fest at Ratio Beerworks Overland, the new one by Capture This, and a Fort Collins band that sounds like The Beastie Boys doing Turnstile. — @heynowdana.com

I belong to many different families of humanity, all of whom are still fighting for their share of freedom. You can have your flags and your fireworks. I spent the 4th of July celebrating my own independence.

I discovered this coffee energy drink at King Soopers. I tried each flavor. Here's my review: • it's far lower in sugar and sodium than Java Monster • it tastes like a plastic action figure

Two cans of Super Coffee Xxtra coffee + energy drink, vanilla and mocha flavors.

There's a personal win for you out there somewhere, just waiting for you to find it and claim it.

I'd like to share a personal win.

And a message for you.

Back on August 21, 2021 — the day after I walked away from radio, and my first day as myself, an openly trans woman named Dana — my weight was 191.9 pounds.

When I moved back to Colorado at the beginning of 2023 to take the job at Indie 102.3, my weight was up to 221.2 pounds.

By last January, I was up to 256.2 pounds.

On the first Monday of 2026, January 5, I was 234.7 pounds and decided to get very serious about getting my health in order — specifically my diet.

This morning, I just weighed in at 199.5 pounds.

No, I haven't reached my goals yet, but ... this is a nice milestone.

✨🥰✨

But there's a bigger lesson here:

The world may be feel scary and chaotic and devoid of hope, but you still should and can have some personal wins. In fact, there's no better time than now to chase those personal wins.

Find your joy, chase that light in the dark. The more the world around you spirals out of control, the more you should defiantly take control of your own destiny.

You know that dog with a hat, sitting with his coffee mug in a room that's on fire, who says, "This is fine"? Maybe he wasn't being sarcastic after all.

We are all going to be OK. ✨

After my Saturday punk show, I visited a few bars to see people I love, then bought two sushi rolls and a bouquet of flowers and treated myself to a Valentine's Day dinner at the last bar of the night.

A bouquet of roses and carnations in a heart-shaped vase, a couple of sushi rolls, a shot glass of soy sauce, and a mocktail.

Happy Pop-Tarts Bowl Day to all who celebrate

My tweet from 2023:

I asked if it was offensive to eat a Pop-Tart in front of the @PopTartsBowl mascot and then its handler yelled out "ITS THEIR DREAM" and then the mascot grabbed a Pop-Tart out of my hand and started force-feeding it to me while making soft grunting noises.

The Denver Broncos are the first AFC team to clinch a playoff berth for the 10th time since 1970—the most by any team in the AFC during that span (1977, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2013, 2025). DEN advanced to the Super Bowl on 7 of the previous 9 occasions and won it twice (‘97,’98).
