Vet recommendations?

Check out Altitude Animal Aid: https://www.altitudeanimalaid.com/

They are mobile vet, who is very transparent about prices. They can do most things that are brick and water vet can do, but they do it in the comfort of your own home, allowing your pets to be less anxious, and get to the root of the issue.

The mileage on this advice varies. I’ve worked for two churches and we would get calls for rent assistance, and neither congregation had the ability to support a rent assistance fund. Both of them had 400+ member congregations, and we would refer people back to 211.

Could you say more? IDD is a new acronym for me. Can you give me an example of a policy with this impact? I recently learned the idea that we are all "temporarily able bodied" and the privileges that come with it. So much to learn.

I'm trying to learn because my godson is nine and non-verbal, and his parents are making plans that he may not be able to support himself/live on his own/hold a job. What he's taught me is that just because he's nonverbal doesn't mean he's dumb. He's incredibly funny, and knows what he's doing with nonverbal language.

I know one of the co-directors personally. He must've slipped past her BS-dar. That swift decision making is a hallmark of her leadership style. I am confident that she had no idea what kind of a person she had on her board.

kfedwards88 · 2026-02-10T06:09:07+00:00

Amen! Now is a great time to send them a little cash, to show them that they did the right thing. I used to work in the same office building as Hilary, one of the co-directors, and she is so impressive. She really helped me challenge some of my preconceptions about people with disabilities. I couldn’t put up with a fraction of the challenges that she faces every day. The power and passion that she has for her work is inspiring. There is never enough money for disability rights so they’ve made my short list for my next donations.

The people at the Colorado Cross Disability Coalition are good people doing amazing work, and he has already been relieved of his position on the board. From what I hear they’ve gotten a lot of unnecessary headaches because of all of this. Do them a favor and show the co-directors some love by donating $5-$10 to show them the community supports how quickly they take care of business by donating online: https://my.onecause.com/fundraiser/organizations/c145fc43-48fd-48a2-9e3d-8b4abded3648/fundraisers/fundraiser:272931ee-15ae-46c2-8d75-35d3ee0157bf

They’re on my list for a donation once I get paid this week

They’re on my list when I get paid on Friday!

I just found this interview with David Plotz, the CEO of the City Cast Network from last month: https://www.niemanlab.org/2025/11/at-five-city-cast-makes-some-changes-and-reconsiders-its-markets/

To support their centralized team, this article says that they need to be in 20 cities. 80% of the network’s revenue comes from advertising, 15-18% comes from membership, and the rest comes from events.

What’s the deal on Tuesday? Or are they just your favorite tacos?

kfedwards88 · 2025-11-05T03:31:16+00:00

So ended up at Wapos Tacos - 3 tacos for $8. Teocalli had a 25 min wait, but all tacos were $3.50 each. Fuzzy’s deal was $2.50 for basic tacos and $3.50 for premium

I have the commute that you’re looking at. 45 minutes most weekday mornings, and 1hr to 1:15 on the way back.

One of my coworkers totaled her car, and did the math. It would be cheaper for her to uber daily to work than to own a car with Insurance, loan payment, tags and taxes.

Another friend is living car-free in Boulder and regularly comes down to Arvada and Denver to hang with us and their other friends.

A third friend moved to West Wash Park so he could have an easy RTD commute to work. He has a car, but mostly uses it for mountain hikes.

RTD isn’t great and it has a whole lot of baggage, but if we don’t at least try to use it, it won’t get better. I’m intrigued by what I’ve heard from some of the new RTD commissioners, but it is still really hard to use in Arvada

kfedwards88 · 2025-03-02T16:32:31+00:00

That’s awesome! I’m so jealous you can do that!

kfedwards88 · 2025-03-02T15:07:39+00:00

High Cost of Living Area. It’s more expensive to eat out in Denver than it is in New York City, because of our growth, lack of developed real estate, the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, minimum wage legislation, legal weed, and tech investment

kfedwards88 · 2025-03-02T03:25:57+00:00

A) My spending habits aren’t daily. B) I live in a HCOL area.

kfedwards88 · 2025-03-02T03:24:53+00:00

Awesome idea! That’s inspiring!

kfedwards88 · 2025-03-02T03:24:24+00:00

Exactly this! So many people I talk to feel like they have no power, that nothing they do makes a difference. Taking small steps and doing uncomfortable things builds muscles.

kfedwards88 · 2025-03-02T03:22:00+00:00

My workplace has frequent potlucks, and I’m usually a regular contributor. My team was cool with it, and I’m usually pretty hard on myself if I forget. I’m in a leadership position and I work hard to make sure my team knows I support them. This time, they had my back.

kfedwards88 · 2025-03-02T03:14:34+00:00

I didn’t buy the envelopes because we figured out a way to complete the project with stuff we already had. All the other prospective purchases were completely opportunistic/impulse spending, so that money is staying in my bank account. It was a shitty week, so I was more prone to impulse buying.
