This is so, so incredibly disappointing. Connecticut deserves better.

Ugggh and this is how I found out. Incredibly disappointing.

Valid!

Agree- headline was bad and obviously for shock value. But I don’t disagree with several of the points. Infill development is not getting us out of this housing crisis. And I say that as a conservation professional turned affordable housing professional.

They’ve changed it now to “The Gulf” but have a statement about how they are required to refer to it as “Gulf of America to ensure their programs continue…. C’mon TNC 🙄

Federal grants pause is ‘beyond comprehension,’ CT nonprofits say CT agencies that provide homelessness services, rental assistance, SNAP benefits and more reacted with alarm and confusion to the directive.

“How do we keep these agencies afloat?”

Here's a look into what happened for CT nonprofits yesterday, following the Trump administration's announcement that federal grants would be frozen.

Was surprised to read about this in the town FB group (where feelings were mixed to say the last)- not often little Washington shows up in statewide news. IMO it is more needed on the state roads where aggressive driving is really bad. I drive Baldwin Hill often & personally haven’t had issues. 🤷‍♀️

Woke up to beautiful fresh snow and the news that the toddler has a snow day. Solidarity to all the other working moms who also had to scramble to find alternative childcare today. 🫠 ❄️❄️

My 20-month old is in a YCC program and it’s our first experience with Montessori. I was a little surprised the day they sent home a photo of her using what appeared to be a real screwdriver and screws.

A quote from Aldo Leopold about the pain of seeing ecological destruction that most people can't see or understand.

I'm feeling this so much right now.

Right, that checks out. Searching for under $400k in LC would be even more dismal (our cap when we were looking and even back in 2022 we had to go over that)

Thanks! Followed the whole group. The funny parents were my faves on Twitter. I have a 20 month old and could use the laughs.

The smoke from the Great Barrington fire is so thick in my small Connecticut town this morning that at least one person called it in as a local fire. This drought is seriously scary. Indicator of Falls to come?

Wow. Almost nothing in Litchfield County.
