@vanessainstem this divorced couple pays me $200/month to send messages between each other

grad students: what do you do for extra $$$$ on the side? (open to DMs for anyone who has secret jobs)

@CommerceCityPD Don’t drink and drive folks. I hope the elderly woman who was hit head on is okay and recovers 😔 this guy driving was extremely intoxicated

Serious crash at 72nd/Quebec that appears to be the result of a wrong-way driver. Please avoid the area.

Putting a name to what a lot of #LatinaSocialWorkers in #ChildWelfare feel when working with families. Amazing work by one of my mentors Amy He! instagram.com/p/C5JqpoEMJSP/…
