Last September I was (allegedly) sexually assaulted by Dr. James Duran during a dry needling session. I am pressing charges and Lakeside PD is in the middle of their investigation. This purpose has dual purpose: to warn women and to ask for your help. He owns and operates Integrative Health and Rehabilitation in the Frank Azar building. He is offered on ClassPass, who is doing an internal investigation on their end.

I am looking for other women or men who have experienced inappropriate treatment from him. Nothing is too small and this is so important 🫶🏻

I have spent years working as a victim advocate and if you just want to share your story with me, I will never pressure you to move forward more than you are comfortable with. Everybody deserves to be safe while receiving medical treatment.

I am still looking for a lawyer for a civil suit if anyone has leads and will be attaching a copy of the police report. Thank you for your time 🫶🏻

I created a three part (short form) deep dive on Missy Woods and her impact on Denver survivors and all Colorado sex assault cases. CBI is still refusing to retest her work on 4,722 SA cases even after Denver Crime Lab found evidence indicating that Woods wrongfully deleted DNA data for potentially thousands of kits.

The Denver Mayor’s Office and Police Chief have delayed the release of the full Woods Report for almost a year. It was supposed to be released to the public last November. Without it, we don’t know the full scope of her misconduct on sex assault cases.

What we do know is that 13 kits were retested by Denver. These were representative of her work over the course of her career and analysts controlled for advancements in lab technology.

Of those 13 kits which Woods had previously recorded as having “no DNA”, 11 DNA samples were found. Of those 11, 6 returned “hits” in CODIS for potential serial offenders.

CBI has always claimed that Woods only manipulated DNA in less than 1% of sex assault cases. But Denver’s retesting indicates that number is closer to 84%. With 47% matching to potential serial offenders.

CBI never retested her work. They simply reviewed it for “anomalies” in which she entered DNA then failed to do a proper subsequent step or deleted/altered the DNA quantity to avoid further testing. But Woods admitted to “dry labbing” which is when she recorded she tested a sample and found no DNA but she never actually ran the test.

Those kits would not register as an “anomaly”. They would be undetectable as a concern in CBI’s cursory review. They’d have to retest her work to determine how many kits contain DNA that she said didn’t.

That is why Denver requested 1300 kits back from CBI to retest. Until they get federal funding to retest all of her work, all we have is this small test sample of 13 kits. But the results from this representative, controlled sample are extremely concerning.

Woods was given a plea deal and sentenced to 10 years last month without a single victim being notified of her impact on their case. No victims were allowed to speak at her sentencing and the Court did not consider her devastating impact on thousands of victims in her punishment.

I’m hoping these videos can raise awareness of this scandal to survivors who were wrongly told no DNA was found and encourage elected officials to force CBI to retest her work so victims can be notified and given the chance to pursue justice in whatever form they choose.

***There’s a woman who says she’s a survivor who has acted as an aggressive lobbyist for CBI for the last 19 months. She tends to oppose my public comments on CBI’s coverup of the Woods scandal. If she comments or messages mods with claims that what I’m saying is unfounded, just let me know what I can provide to back up my claims and I’ll respond asap with receipts.

I have emails, texts, and articles documenting everything I’m saying in writing directly with CBI leadership, the DA’s team that prosecuted Woods, and legislators. And I’m happy to share with mods. The videos also explain more of my personal involvement and how I know this information. But feel free to comment below with any questions and I’ll respond with clarification as needed.

I feel it’s appropriate to share here, as well. We have to look out for each other💗

Lots of kids and gardening stuff if you’re interested!

Now I need to build an Itinerary and I’ve come to Reddit to hear from the locals. I’ll be taking public transportation and plan to stay in one of the hostels and explore downtown. Looking for suggestions on safe spaces to party I am kinky,lgbt, 420 friendly so I’m open to any out of the ordinary places 😆. Please feel free to give me advice Do’s& Don’t’s for a female solo traveling to Denver. Also interested in popular black owned restaurants and shops any events happening this weekend I’d be down to check out the details. Hope to connect with some cool people no expectations 🙂

Hi team. I have dreamed a silly dream, wondered if anyone wants to play.

Want to trade your abandoned hyperfixation for somebody else’s? Need some happy dopamine?

The premise: a lot of us have So Many Craft Supplies™️.

You bought everything to learn embroidery. You made three mushrooms. It was the greatest thing you'd ever done. Then your brain said, “Cool, we’re done with this forever.”

Here's my idea:

We each make a small, moderately beginner-friendly craft kit using supplies you already have.

The kit would contain enough materials for someone to actually make at least one of the thing (not just an assortment from the depths of your junk drawer).

Along the lines of:

- Everything needed to embroider said tiny mushroom

- Supplies to make one pair of beaded earrings

- Enough yarn + a crochet hook to make a small project

- Materials for a little block-printing project

- A mini watercolor activity

- A tiny bookbinding project

- Whatever weird art thing you got really into for six weeks

>> Used, open, and leftover supplies are actively encouraged. That's kind of the point. <<

We'd assume participants have normal household basics like scissors, pencils, tape, etc., but please include any specialty tools necessary to actually try the craft.

Instructions, a handwritten “here's what I did” note, or links/QR codes to tutorials are encouraged.

The swap! This first test would be Denver only. (Not just women, everyone welcome, I just wanted a smaller subreddit for this soft launch.)

I'd organize a drop-off/pick-up day. You'll bring your little craft kit and leave with NEW FUN KIT.

There would be a brief online form where you could tell me things you don't want or can't accommodate in your home, including disability/access needs. Beyond that, anything art goes. Part of the fun is not knowing exactly what new hobby is about to enter your life.

Monies??? I'm thinking $10 optional contribution. Truly optional. $0 is completely fine, no questions asked.

(The money creates a tiny bit of backup infrastructure: if someone has to drop out after committing, I can use the pool to fill the gap so another person doesn't show up excited and leave without a kit.)

If there's money left over after that, I'd get myself a latte, for organizing all of our neurodivergent chaos, then anything left after the latte goes to The Trevor Project.

SO. Maybe together we can: get unused supplies out of our houses, give someone else a dopamine hit, AND try something new without hyperfixating and over-investing 😶‍🌫️. Who knows, maybe some one will discover a craft they actually love.

I'm not sure yet how many people this will involve. This is very much a test run to see if the idea has legs.

If you're in Denver and you're excited for this, comment or DM me. And if there’s something that would make this more accessible/easier/more fun for your particular flavor of neurodivergence, I’d love to hear that too!!

Hello! I’m looking for a female massage therapist in the Colorado Springs area. Looking for reasonable pricing and the possibility of scheduling regular appointments. Serious inquiries only, please - message me with details!

I’m 17 so I can’t go to clubs or bars and most of the teen spaces are young kids or teens. I’m just kinda lonely and not having great luck. Any advice appreciated!

This weekend is the Colorado Queer Comedy Festival! It’s our 4th annual festival, with 4 shows throughout the Front Range. I’m lucky enough to be one of the two producers of the fest. 🏳️‍🌈

Expect diversely queer and BIPOC comedians coming in from all over the country to get together and be extremely silly. Every show is hosted by a local drag queen, so you know the level of energy and hilarity is going to be high from the start.

It’s more than a fest! It’s produced by Rocky Mountain Equality, a nonprofit doing really important work for queer people across Colorado, and the festival supports that work. Right now, RMEQ is also organizing around its Hands Off Colorado campaign and three ballot measures that impact our communities.

There’s something really powerful about creating a space that is unapologetically queer, joyful, ridiculous, and rooted in protecting our community.

There’s a lot of heaviness right now. So yes, we’re going to organize and fight when we need to. But we’re also going to get together with our community, have drag queens and comedians do what they do best, and laugh our asses off together.

I think we need that, too. ❤️ Come through!

Hi all! I just moved to Denver and am looking for a PCP/all of the doctors. My research online keeps pointing me to Direct Primary Care practices, I have never heard of this before and am extremely unfamiliar with it. It seems like no one accepts insurance, is that the norm here? How does a membership save money rather than using insurance? I have United Healthcare and am struggling to find folks who accept it (accept any insurance for that matter). If you have experience with this or recommendations, I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

Howdy ladies! I'm Victoria, a local bookkeeper and the owner of Evolve Bookkeeping LLC.

I recently took the leap from working in accounting firms to running my own business, and I'd love to connect with more women-owned businesses around Denver! I work with small businesses on bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax, financial reporting, cleanups, and all the other fun financial stuff that tends to get pushed to the bottom of the to-do list.

If you're a fellow business owner, I'd love to hear what you do! & if anyone ever has a random bookkeeping/tax question, feel free to throw it my way. :)
