Woke up this morning and only had *three* new emails before 7 a.m. and honestly that’s somehow more stressful.

What a good read — and a beautiful reminder that it’s such a privilege to help produce the Aspen Daily Miracle. 💕

Just watched tonight’s Squirm Night (thank you, GrassRoots Community Network!) and did NOT know the camera was running between sessions. It’s become clear I need to learn ASL asap… goodness knows I gesticulate enough, might as well be dancing a language.

Purchased my first-ever Sunlight Mountain Resort pass yesterday — AND got one of their “6-pack” deals for my love to discover the stoke. AND got him outfitted with a pair of Rossignol boots at the ski swap today. Total investment? Less than half of one Aspen premier pass…

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

Accurate statement.

Our communities are still reeling. We are strong, but we are tired. Still waiting for more than thoughts and prayers. aspendailynews.com/multimedia/nig…

Just a few #ColoradoGivesDay shout-outs to the likes of Aspen Journalism, Sopris Sun, Aspen Public Radio, KDNK, High Country News and Chalkbeat Colorado. These are a few of my favorite nonprofit news partners. Your dollars would be well placed with any of them. ;)

BREAKING: All campuses in both the Roaring Fork School District and Aspen School District are in lock-out out of an "abundance of caution" after law enforcement identified an online threat this morning. ow.ly/epYS50MAiBN

BREAKING: “The caller said they were, quote, walking into the school to shoot all the kids, unquote,” said Pitkin County Undersheriff Alex Burchetta. “This was an extremely disturbing statement and the emergency dispatcher engaged...click to read more.” ow.ly/2NjC50N08On

My heart breaks for us that we have to navigate such troubled waters. Big thanks to my former colleagues at the Aspen Daily News for keeping this newbie civilian informed.

Dear all companies who will no doubt spend this month touting #WomensHistoryMonth: If you really want to support women, start offering free tampons in your bathrooms. 😘

So CDC comes out with a report that US life expectancy continues to decrease, and people are shocked. You mean a profit-driven medical industry that disincentivizes preventive care and processed junk food that's banned elsewhere could be *bad*?! cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom….

Overheard just now: “So, like, what’s the highest-paying job in Aspen that also includes a ski pass? I’m trying to take a sabbatical and then work in #Aspen. Like PR or something.”

Oofta. Too real, The Onion. Too real. theonion.com/san-francisco-…

Got a Miami Herald subscription when I was doing research *a year ago* for a story. Trying to cancel that subscription is like trying to get out of a Timeshare presentation. Still on hold after I twice declined "a better rate."

In Opinion I could feel the developers in the room shifting in their seats, all ready to pummel the panelists with the same question: This all sounds great, but does the building code support it? aspendailynews.com/opinion/lookin…

When I worked for David Cook, one of the best parts of our dynamic was that he trusted me implicitly to run Aspen Daily News while he was doing the field research to launch this new endeavor. I'm so proud and happy to see this. One fewer news desert! editorandpublisher.com/stories/print-…

Apparently #GivingTuesday2024 is being called #GivingNewsDay among my colleagues in the field, and I'm here for it. If you, too, want to see local, independent newspapers continue to thrive and think Aspen Daily News is a worthy contribution, I thank you! aspendailynews.com/opinion/the-fu…
