In my Halal-cart-for-lunch-everyday era.

Denver Public Schools politics: As a proud alumna of West & the Center for International Studies, the news of the program's move back to West from Baker is bittersweet. I am glad that the next generation of students will contribute to West. But I lament the DCIS Baker closure (1/?)

An important story to keep track of reported by @natemup.com at @blackcatholicmessenger.org. The USCCB's justification for removing the essay sounds made up, to be frank.

Reposting @jackjenkins.me link as there is some good convo and reposting comments coming from it. @alejacorazonhm.bsky.social’s piece is by far the best one I’ve seen on the event thus far.

Related to my previous post, my resting not-abiding-any-nonsense face was inherited directly from my father & I have now passed it on to a couple of kids. #RestingFAFOFace

@alejacorazonhm.bsky.social offers a helpful report at @rns.org about the roundtable I participated in last night at Georgetown University alongside four Catholic bishops and three Catholic activists. I was there as the moral theologian outlining Catholic social teaching on immigration.

For the second year in a row I find myself in DC on 9/11. I hate being in DC on 9/11. (With no shade for my generous hosts at Georgetown whose events have happened to fall on this date in consecutive years. Y'all are wonderful.)

Some of the ongoing feedback of the La Alma Lincoln Park neighborhood to yesterday’s news from the Broncos about their preferred stadium site at Burnham Yard on the Westside.

As a Denver Westsider I have literally all the feels about Burnham Yard as the preferred Broncos stadium site. Literally 👏🏽 All 👏🏽The 👏🏽 Feels 👏🏽 I do know that I will chain myself to the mural at La Alma rec if it is threatened in any way.

It's now tradition. After he retires they should still have him go out there to be ceremonially sacked, like the first pitch at a baseball game

The sports take industrial complex will handle Travis Kelce being engaged to Taylor Swift with nuance and subtlety.

Please permit me to be a basic batch for a moment: I was listening to “All Too Well (10 minute version) when I heard the news! That has to be, like, 10 years of good luck, right? Right?!

I look forward to participating in this important conversation about Catholic social teaching about migrant justice alongside scholars, immigration justice activists, and four Catholic bishops at Georgetown University on September 11, 2025. Join us in person or via livestream.

tbh I love this for us.

Stiddy to Franklin!

Truly depressing to be at the Sky Club at last call…

So…I volunteered to be some kind of coach for my kid’s flag football team…?!?! I wonder if my years of yelling at various Broncos players that they had “one job” counts as strategic acumen…

My toxic trait is bumping loud music on my 7:30am drive into the office. In my defense, it is usually Kendrick or Bad Bunny.

Watching Broncos pre-season this morning with 7 y/o. He is catastrophizing an entire season based on one quarter of pre-season that the team would go on to win. Truly, this boy is a 4th generation Broncos fan.

No shade for Summer McIntosh (3rd place) but gat dang, Ledeck! Katie Ledecky for the win with an epic 800m free in Singapore. Lani Pallister with a brilliant performance for silver, too. WHAT. A. RACE!

Broncos 17, Steelers 16.

Tom Lehrer’s music kept the Smithie Catholics in stitches during our late night study sessions in college especially this little ditty. What a gift. ❤️❤️❤️

When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be an adult because I imagined that adulthood would be a time when no one would interrupt me when I was trying to read. If I could go back in time, I would tell that little girl she has never been more wrong about anything in her life.

Real Estate Developers Decide Colorful Bench Enough To Deem Area ‘Arts District’ theonion.com/real-es...

Mike Pruitt can bring compassion, competence, intelligence, integrity, backbone back to the VA-5, where they’ve been brutally absent. Many fresh, impressive candidates for Congress out there trying to salvage congress and restore democracy. This is one to pay attention to @mike-pruitt.bsky.social

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

Our district is hurting. People feel it in their hearts and in their aching backs. We’re not helpless – we’re mad. That’s a fire I understand, because it burns in me too. My name is Mike Pruitt. I’m a Navy veteran, a civil rights lawyer, and now I’m running for Congress.

Pope Leo at Angelus: “The holiday industry wants to sell us all sorts of ‘experiences,’ but perhaps not the ones we are really looking for. Every genuine encounter is free; it cannot be bought, whether it is an encounter with God, with others or with nature.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

This was a horrendous day. Thank you, @judgyjudes.bsky.social, for your reflection on this violence and for helping us remember why we work for changes.

A important letter from 40 Jewish family and staff at UVA. Thank you to the colleagues & friends who wrote & signed it.

Sally Shows Up! @sallyforsupervisor.bsky.social

I just had a near occasion of taking on additional unpaid academic labor. Fortunately I was able to rely on my fundamental option for saying no to additional unpaid academic labor and I escaped doing work that I literally do not have time to do right now. Whew!

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

My AM work session coming to you live from Leven Deli in Denver's Golden Triangle...which happens to be located in what was once the neon sign shop where my dad worked when I was young! It is pretty dope to do my own creative work where my pops used to create. 🖌️📚💗

Bad Bunny provided the fireworks today, dayum! The whole video is visually stunning. But pay attention to minute 2:30 even if you don’t understand the rest of the song.

I just noticed that the First Sunday of Advent falls on my birthday this calendar year/next liturgical year. It feels auspicious as I spend these summer days trying to write this book manuscript. 💜💜💗💜

BREAKING: He’s Back! Denver Nuggets sign Bruce Brown again

Brucey B!!!! Ahhhhhh! #NuggetsSky

The one where we take our kids to mom’s favorite library. 📚

Boy Fights: Denver Public Library Central Branch

Me: "Why does my weirdo 3 y/o watch Christmas movies all year long?" Also me: *Listens to Advent hymns & Christmas carols in June while writing a book on Advent's political theology*

Overheard: Real humans discussing Denver Nuggets ball while I am enjoying a pour over and a writing session at Subjective Coffee. Home sweet home! (Also: Is this any of y'all NuggetsSky mutuals? Feel free to flag down the nerd working on her book manuscript for the IRL connection!)

Made it to Denver! After all this time away it is still the only place I feel at home. It is so good to be home! 💙💛❤️

Hear me out: Muppets Take The White House. It’s The West Wing but everyone is a muppet (President Jed Kermit, First Lady Miss Piggy) except Richard Schiff is still an increasingly fraught Toby Ziegler

Metacommentary: I was Pope Francising in this thread as I am spilling my mind on an airplane. Papa Francisco, pray for us.

I haven’t yet had the words to express my dismay at Jim Ryan’s ouster at UVa. Tbh, my heart still aches for my students & colleagues who were brutally arrested during their peaceful encampment last May. 1/?

We’re going to start a parenting post series inspired by Arrested Development: Boy Fights! Today’s drops are “Boy Fights: The Baggage Claim Line” and “Boy Fights: Laguardia Layover” @jamesdarynhenry.bsky.social

Up in the middle of the night despairing the state of my university & my country, but doing it also while on hold with Delta customer service because our family flight was cancelled and rebooked to shit. F it, I’m having some wine.

Our whole family made it out for @abigailspanberger.com’s Charlotteville stop. I got to hold up a sign behind the candidates during their speeches (I am the one in the lemon dress)! We are showing up & working hard for this entire ticket! @cvilledems.bsky.social @albemarledems.bsky.social
