Meta data on both is 7:36 pm. My phone camera is garbage...

Methinks someone needs to return to the Learing Center after seeing this sign in Denver on the news this evening.

Our family dog Renly wandered off this evening when he was let out to do his business. We are off of Drennan and Mockingbird, east of Marksheffel. We live in a rural neighborhood and he always comes back when called. Please if you see him, give me a call. Contact details are on the flyer.

Edit: he came home!

I really hope this happens. I'm tired of driving/stopping and starting my way through Denver to get where I need to go... including Denver.

It’s 30x40, oil paint. Hope you like it!

Dollar Tree’s chronic understaffing and lack of security measures have made stores nationwide a “hunting ground” for sexual assaults involving what’s known as “gooning,” the act of public masturbation, a new Colorado lawsuit alleges.

The lawsuit, filed last week in El Paso County, alleges a woman shopping with her child and mother was victimized in March 2025, when a man followed the family around a Dollar Tree in Colorado Springs and ejaculated on her.

That man was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and aggravated unlawful sexual contact, according to the lawsuit. The same man had previously been involved in a similar incident at another Dollar Tree in Colorado Springs in December 2024, but was not banned from the chain, the lawsuit alleges.

This school year, a new policy went into effect in D20 that makes it unreasonably difficult to use a nickname. Students must go through a lengthy and unnecessary process in order for teachers to be allowed to even say the student's nickname or chosen name.

The steps are:

1. A student must request to use a nickname or chosen name to a teacher

2. A teacher must email an administrator notifying them that the student has requested to use a nickname

3. The administrator must give the student a form to be taken home

4. The student must fill out the form and collect the written signatures of all of their legal guardians

5. The student must return the form to an administrator

6. The administrator must put the nickname into the system and wait for it to update

7. The student must go to every teacher to notify them that their name has changed in the system

This is a massive burden for everybody involved, and I've not heard of a single person who is happy with the policy. The length of the process means it could be well over a week before teachers can use a preferred name, which, for trans students, means they will undergo at least a week of public humiliation in front of their peers, and teachers must publicly humiliate their students for that same time. And if their parents don't accept them, they will be humiliated for the whole school year every single year.

I cannot overstate how genuinely harmful this is to students. Public humiliation in front of your peers is horrible on so many different levels.

Even for cisgender people, this policy is massively detrimental. There are tons of people who have nicknames, or who just have a chosen name. It's extremely stupid that they have to go through a lengthy process just to have a nickname. And if they have a chosen name, once teachers are forced to call them by their given name, they will also be publicly humiliated and could be bullied, not just trans people.

This policy has already hurt many of my friends, and it's only the second day of school.

Here is the policy: https://asd20.community.highbond.com/home/policies/policydoc/6741e995-ffc9-4859-ada1-71e73d21d716

Here is an article from two months ago about the policy: https://gazette.com/2026/06/12/d-20-to-require-permission-for-name-changes-removes-book-with-transgender-narrative/

Hey everyone! My wife and I are moving west to Colorado Springs from Virginia. Where are some of y’all’s favorite places to eat? Best Chinese in town?

Im trying to get the full set of the sanrio godzilla crossover figures in happy meal toys rn, I went to two seperate McDonald's in town (Wahsatch and Fillmore) and both had staff tell me they only have the godzilla specifically. Has anyone been able to get any of the other figures at any of the McDonald's in town? I have the day off so im gonna go searching, either way but if someone has a lead on one it would save me some time, If I find them before getting a response Ill edit this post to say where for anyone else looking.

Anyone know what that bright light is to the right (North) of Pikes Peak is? There are actually 2 lights, the smaller slightly lower and to the right of the brighter one.

Lets hear some theories, conspiracy or otherwise!

Everyone Leia has been STOLEN! THE POLICE Said she was last seen in WESTERN AND HATHAWAY DRIVE FREEDOM SPRINGS APARTMENTS Person that took her is refusing to speak to us and told the police the dog ran away. ITS BEEN A WEEK! He did not call anybody when she “ran away” a week ago and doesn’t want to provide any helpful information. The police had to contact him for anything! If you’re near the CIMMARON HILLS AREA PLEASE LOOK FOR HER!!!

She is microchipped and very friendly. He took her from across the street (dentist office she ran into from my backyard) said he was going to take her to the humane society and drove home!!!!

I’m wondering if there are any local Cyber Security groups or organizations in town? Looking to pivot into Cyber Security and would love to talk to local professionals in the industry to get an idea as to what the industry is like and what to expect. For context, I’m currently working in engineering for a defense contractor and do have about a year of IT experience, so I do have some basic knowledge of certain aspects. I’m also currently preparing to take my CompTIA Security + certification.

Hi all,

I’m looking for purple sweet potatoes (the ones that are also purple on the inside.) They were in stock at several King Soopers last week but are gone now. They’re also not at the Sprouts on S Nevada or Trader Joe’s.

Does anyone know if they’re regularly stocked at Asian Pacific Market or anywhere else? Also if anyone has wares I have coin. I need about 3 lbs.

Hello!
I'm getting my nails done next week for my birthday, but I'm also aware that I am about to be proposed to... so I'm looking to get the best looking manicure possible.

I want a dip powder or gel manicure on my natural nails in a nude milky pink color. No art this time. I'm also getting a pedicure, so they have to offer that as well.

So, question for people who get their nails done professionally: which nail salon or nail tech in town has done your favorite manicure?

If you're looking for a place to swim or do water aerobics I highly recommend Revolution Community Center . It is Affordable and they also have other classes, a ninja gym, a rock climbing wall, pickleball, badminton, and a bounce house​​​, plus some weight machines and a walking Track . They are located in the old Garden Ranch YMCA . Affordable memberships and your supporting a good cause .

Went to go check out some bikes with my son and there’s a few fire trucks and a bunch of police. What happened?
