I do not want ICE. I want universally accessible paths to citizenship. I don't want more police. I'd rather reallocate funding to preventing crime from happening by giving people Enough. I don't want the death penalty. Two wrongs still don't make a right. I hate this timeline.

The timing is impeccable: one of these trump propaganda ads played *right as* I scrolled and saw this story. I appreciate the timely explanation—I do not appreciate this administration’s blatant propaganda bullshit on our dime or otherwise 😡

I think it is ALSO worth noting that that Council Member Curtis Gardner has been physically absent as many times as Françoise Bergan — opting to attend via Zoom as well.

I genuinely don't know how any local politicians can think that data centers won't get them voted out. The crowd here at the Aurora city council meeting is clearly looking to take some heads if the city council doesn't act.

It’s worth noting I recently learned that Aurora City Charter, our governing document, has ZERO language around how many meetings council members are allowed to miss, attend virtually, etc and still keep their seats.

After being called out multiple times for only attending virtually anymore (giving an air of absenteeism), Françoise Bergan cannot help herself from chiming in (interrupting a public commenter) to say “I’m here” over the loud speaker at 8:50pm

Update: boxed pho 🍜 zhuzhed up with egg, carrot, garden zucchini, onion, and shaved beef. 🍽️ 🌱

A white bowl of pho with chopsticks and a spoon lain across. From 12 o’clock we have hard boiled egg with sriracha heart, carrot, zucchini, onion & shaved beef hidden under spoon. The broth is a darkish brown.

Clearly watching the Broncos lose to KC from the comfort of her home was more important than schlepping in to work (yet again). If members cannot give their undivided attention when attending via Zoom, should they have a spot on the dais?

Further context: the council member quoted here was heard saying this from loud speakers overhead. At 7:27pm she was heard interjecting her comments and a very loud male voice tromped in yelling “INTERFERENCE!!” ... 9/14 also happened to be the Broncos season kick off game.

Some context: “it’s the same people over and over…” who Françoise Bergman and Curtis Gardner can’t be bothered to face in person for months. Advocates demanding justice for Kylin Lewis and other citizens murdered by APD; demanding racist Chief of Police Todd Chamberlain be sacked. #AuroraPolitics

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Gorgeous evening to meet a couple of pretty birbs (and one snek i sadly did not get a good pic of) Thank you to the educators from Rocky Mountain Wildlife Alliance for coming to the Friends of the Front Range Wildlife Refuges’ Harvest Moon Dinner.

A red tailed hawk named Kingston sits on his handlers gloved hand. He faces her and is brightly lit in a ray of sun. Another wildlife educator is in the background, centered in frame of the hawk and handler pointing directly center frame.

I honestly have no idea. I don’t eat pears often but this one was getting a little soft and had been in the fridge for a day or so. I cut about quarter inch slices and cooked about 30 seconds per side. Sliced heated while I assembled the rest. 😋 Brie would be so gooooood—this was Swiss on mine.

I am a culinary genius (I sliced and cooked pears for my breakfast sandwich).

Top down view of a small breakfast spread: smoothie is berry-red, at 3 o’clock a bowl of cooked pears with cinnamon, at six o’clock a white plate holds a breakfast sandwich cut in half, with some bacon peeling out from the sides.

Close up of a divided breakfast sandwich on an English muffin, stacked with egg, bacon, sliced cooked pears, and Swiss cheese. A bridge of cheese connects the two halves like delicious cliff faces.

trump getting involved with world cup stuff is why i initially had the ick about paying attention to the whole thing. i ended up a bit swept up in it anyway and it's been fun to have a unifying event in the states, but then we get smacked in the face with a reminder that he ruins everything.
