What does the co-founder of @silentbookclub.bsky.social recommend to others? @lauraglu.bsky.social picks the books, music and festival that make her happy.

A timeline break from our local park (Cesar Chavez).

Let’s support the Evergreen community, where a school shooting last week didn’t get much notice outside Colorado due to the killing of Charlie Kirk. I’ll match the next fifty $5 donations to the Jefferson Center. Their team is helping the community process trauma. www.coloradogives.org/story/d3eafg

Let’s help keep two rural public radio stations on the air despite budget cuts due to federal defunding. Next viewers have raised $50,000 for KRZA in the San Luis Valley and @ksutpublicradio.bsky.social in the Four Corners. I’ll match the next fifty $5 donations: cfssc.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

Make your voice louder. Call 202-224-3121 or 5calls.org to tell your Senators: vote NO on the Rescission package.

“Sounds great fellas” @barenakedladies.com soundcheck at Red Rocks.

Big day for us ambiverts/introverts www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xUf...

Public broadcasting officials from across the country plan to descend on Capitol Hill today in hopes of convincing lawmakers to preserve their federal funding despite pressure from President Trump and his allies.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

Catholic/Chicago Halloween costumes gonna be lit this year.

This is also why NPR needs to stay a non partisan, noncommercial nonprofit.

Only someone who wanted to destroy the U.S. for generations would do this. This isn’t “shifting priorities”, this is a war being waged on all Americans right left & center in every state. In before-times, Congress would stop loss of jobs/funding in their state; call them to remind them of this.

Met the most famous librarian in the country yesterday!

Huzzah Canada!

It’s the best day to listen to Colorado Sound: the last day of the Mood Booster countdown! coloradosound.org/best-mood-bo...

“Cutting NPR and PBS is not budget discipline, it's cultural sabotage." If you have a Republican Senator, this is something to leave a voicemail with them about. Senate majority will decide.

“Public media defenders say rural audiences would be hit the hardest if funding was cut from NPR & PBS stations.” It’s estimated *18%* of stations across the U.S. could shutdown as a result. If you are donating $ to where it is needed, support your local PBS stations, especially the smaller ones.

The Parasol Patrol will be attending dozens and dozens of Prides both in Colorado and across the Country this year. We've come up with a fun way to give back to our donors. Dana Rasmussen came up with these amazing Brick necklaces and Earings.

Whatever happened to potato skins at restaurants? Feels like every mid level restaurant had them - did big Brussels kick them off the menu?

If know a high-school student interested in journalism, applications are open for our 5th annual Rise & Shine program. Free and open to any high-schooler. Our scheduled lineup so far includes @kylec.bsky.social & @ryanhasaquestion.bsky.social along with @coloradosun.com staffers.

If anyone has a spare Tesla to donate, I know of a certain radio station that would welcome it.

1. Walk into your local library and ask a librarian how you can help. 2. Attend the next library, school board, or city council meeting to express your support for libraries. 3. Run for office or support local politicians who are standing up for your rights.

Trump says libraries are unnecessary. We disagree. This latest executive order fires 75 federal employees and ends funding for 125,000 libraries that serve more than 1.2 billion patrons in person and even more online. Here are 7 things you can do right now 🧵 #wewillnotbesilent #showupforlibraries

Walking to the park this morning.

Wrote up a piece with Cynthia Overton on where to redeploy talent - www.linkedin.com/pulse/beyond...

Looking forward to being exhausted for the next few days due to the one hour shift of springing forward.

Looking for local #silentbookclub chapters and organizers on Bluesky? We’ve got a starter pack for that! go.bsky.app/PSdss45 #booksky

I’ve helped shield kids from hate with this group. They are fantastic. Support them training others if you can.

In order for New Yorkers to vote in the closed Democratic Mayoral Primary, they must be registered as Democrats (and not unaffiliated or otherwise) by TOMORROW, February 14th. You CAN do change or update online through the DMV link below with a valid ID: e-register.vote.nyc

Fascinates me that the broligarchy who claim to love Rand all fall in line behind Wesley Mouch and crew.

Strikes still happening at king soopers? This Safeway is as busy as a sports weekend today.

Be calm. Be brave. It’ll be okay. @guster.bsky.social

Oh hey @brianrosenworcel.bsky.social

We really need your help right now folx. We are headed to LA to stand against the Westboro Church and host training sessions before we rally the community to shield our youth from the Westboro. We have Patrollers coming from multiple states and need to get a Airbnb/VRBO to house us

This is the energy we need in the Senate right now. President Trump can’t do blatantly illegal things and expect a normal confirmation process. He wants to screw our systems to enrich corrupt billionaires? We will defy the norms for THE PEOPLE.

Massive congrats to Rapsody on the Grammy win. In October we caught her at larimer lounge other side here in Denver.

If you're in the Denver area tomorrow morning we need your help escorting young families to LGBTQIA Lobby Day. Gays Against Groomers has called for their supporters to gather in opposition to the Trans Bill of Rights and we need to be able to escort families around them and other hateful groups.

It's Black History Month, and for those of us who are readers, a perfect opportunity to buy some new books to celebrate. Silent Book Club offers recommendations from our community and our personal favorites, including some friends of SBC: bookshop.org/lists/black-...

One small act of joyful resistance I’m doing is sending friends and family Girl Scout cookies from trans scouts. Bonus if it’s a scout in their state and double bonus if the state or recipient tends red. www.erininthemorning.com/p/2025-trans...
