How a Colorado woman is making a statement against fast fashion by wearing the same dress for 100 days
Colorado Sun
KEYWORD SCORE: 45.16. boulder, colorado, pandemic, sustainable, transit
In a world of fast fashion, Olga Gintchin is a one-woman counterculture phenomenon, in understated gray. The other Highlands Ranch moms on the soccer field probably didn’t notice. Fellow shoppers at the King Soopers most certainly did not. Some of her coworkers eventually caught on, but most likely because Gintchin told them. For 100 days in a row, she wore the same dress. The dark-gray wool dress is plain, functional and practical, and each day, Gintchin jazzed it up with colorful extras and accessories. A green cardigan. A coat with multicolor stripes. A $13 thrifted maroon leather jacket. L

Denver sees improvement in homelessness, but a worrying trend for kids
Denverite
KEYWORD SCORE: 42.77. apartment, budget, cars, city council, city staff, colorado, development, homelessness, housing, housing and urban development, mayor, point-in-time count, public meeting, shelter, unhoused
When city staff fanned out to count unhoused people on a single night in January, they found fewer people sleeping on the streets and in shelters. A total of 518 people were counted on the streets, while about 5,900 were in shelters around the city. It was the lowest count of unsheltered homelessness in Denver since 2017. Sheltered homelessness, which has risen mightily over the past decade, finally started dropping, too, as more people were housed. But the annual Point-in-Time Count also found more evidence for a troubling trend: the number of unhoused people under 18 has hit a 10-year high.

‘Free days’ aren’t for all anymore. Here’s what we heard at Rocky Mountain National Park
Colorado Public Radio
KEYWORD SCORE: 27.47. boulder, colorado
On Memorial Day, the entrance fee pay station at Rocky Mountain National Park’s Wild Basin displayed a message: “Fee free day. Enjoy your visit.” This year, however, these holidays are no longer free for everyone. Non-U.S. residents ages 16 and above still have to pay the daily entrance fee to enter parks, even on free days, and an additional $100 fee. At Rocky Mountain National Park, daily entrance fees range from $15 to $30 . “Free entrance days only apply to US citizens and permanent residents,” reads the National Park Service website . The extra costs apply to anyone who isn’t a U.S. citiz

The Supreme Court and social media
SCOTUS Blog
KEYWORD SCORE: 27.33. development, election, mayor, public health
*Please note that SCOTUS Outside Opinions constitute the views of outside contributors and do not reflect the official opinions of SCOTUSblog.* The Supreme Court shapes constitutional and statutory meaning in an era defined by rapid technological change. But, despite presiding over disputes that involve online conduct, the court itself is strikingly absent from that world. This absence is especially notable in social media. Can – or should – the court continue to remain so disconnected? This is not idle speculation. Across the globe, high courts have begun to embrace social media as a tool for

Oil and gas companies drilled and polluted less in 2025, but emissions from each well are rising, Colorado regulators say

[image: An oil and gas drilling rig is visible behind a barrier. The sky is blue and filled with puffy clouds] Oil and gas drilling activity in Colorado was down in 2025, leading to fewer total air emissions — even as emissions for each new well are projected to rise, according to a report from the state Energy and Carbon Management Commission.

The pressure to be perfect has stalked recent high school graduate Swarali Dhamal since she was in middle school, at once motivating and suffocating her while consuming more of her hours both in and outside of school. Recently, that nagging voice telling her to be flawless has grown louder because of carefully curated posts by friends and influencers flooding her social media feed. Long before, the voice drove her to maintain impressive grades and keep up with peers in her classes as part of the inherent societal pressures that kept building. “It’s kind of normalized in society where you have
