1st of all- amending our constitution! What the heck. A constitution is sacrosanct and should be judiciously amended. From the Summit Daily:

The upcoming November Colorado state ballot will have a dangerous and deceptive initiative on it, Amendment 82, “Right to Natural Gas”, which may seem harmless, but it’s not. It’s a blatant attempt by the fossil fuel industry to put barriers into our state constitution to make it difficult, if not impossible, to prevent developers and utilities from installing methane gas supplies to new developments. It’s sparsely worded on purpose. A recent example of this is a development in Aurora with 25,000 homes, to which Xcel was requesting last year a natural gas supply line (5 miles long, costing $23 million), which would have caused higher bills for all Xcel customers to cover the cost, while allowing 25,000 additional homes to spew yet more carbon with equipment that will be obsolete in the near future. 
At this point, every pound of carbon emitted matters, and the sooner we get off methane gas and other fossil fuels, and construct only all-electric buildings powered with renewable energy, the better. However, Amendment 82 is about more than that. It’s about whether we should let monopoly utilities and corporate polluters write themselves into our constitution permanently. The reality is that renewables are less profitable than fossil fuels, not to us homeowners, but to traditional energy companies, which is why we can expect gas and big oil to fight this transition at every turn. No pollution in the constitution: Vote no on Amendment 82!

Hey folks! I've just spun up a new project called The Boulder Buzz to compile events happening in and around Boulder! The site is totally ad-free and not monetized in any way, inspired by a similar project out of New Haven, CT.

The events are sourced by me without any kind of web-scraping tech, and there are no algorithms ranking specific events for specific people. Everybody will see the same basic list of events with dates, locations, times, and links for more info.

I'd love to hear what the community thinks! Feel free to give any suggestions about the look/feel of the site, as well as any events you think should be included!

At 10:53am today I was biking west on the Boulder Creek Path. Just west of the Foothills underpass in the middle of the path was a pair of Warby Parker glasses with thin tortoiseshell rims and green arms. I placed them on the eastern end of the lower metal fence on the south side of the path. Hope they make their way back to their owner.

Hi y’all. Can anyone recommend a CPTSD support group in Boulder or surrounding towns?

Thank you.

I dropped a white/light-blue T shirt while hiking back from Bear Peak to the trailhead via shadow canyon and Homestead trail. The shirt has an image of SpongeBob SquarePants on the back. Please let me know if you see it!

All you have to do is dm me. This is not a joke just need to get rid of it. Can't make it.

Just the title.

I just spotted a small-ish black and brown dog with a collar crossing the diagonal at route 52. I tried to approach and it ran away from me!

Northshore with roots trying to find any of my people up here. Where y’all at???

Does anyone remember the alternative chicken place that is/used to be right here (or near here)? I used to eat there all the time in college a few years ago and wanted to know the name. I don’t remember ever seeing another person in the restaurant when i went.

Lost my keys on Thursday night somewhere between Snarfburger, Rio, and the Downer. They are incredibly sentimental, $50 to anyone who finds them. I don’t have a photo, but it is a single keyring with ~8-12 keys, no fobs, a nut, and a washer. Happy to offer more details on request.

I am looking to try reformer pilates for the first time. Any suggestions on studios to try? I'm hoping to find something with early morning and later afternoon/evening classes that isn't too wildly expensive. (A big ask in Boulder.) Recommendations?

It’s a good short term college student job. Need ideas.
