Today was a good day. My friend Anne gifted me with a huge bag of gently used clothing. She's been following my weight loss saga and set aside items she thought I would like. It was very unexpected and very sweet. I have my eye on a plaid skirt for an upcoming date night. Now […]
I've always considered myself a compassionate person. From my days of campus service projects to my years in social service ministry right through my social work graduate degree to my various jobs, I always just took for granted that I had compassion for, well, everyone. It wasn't something I examined too closely and I rarely […]
I have to give Ron Razete of Peace, Love and Little Donuts credit. His anti-gay bigotry was on display in the Post-Gazette, the Pgh City Paper, national blogs and the Urban Spoon and he didn't miss beat nor repent a single vile word he spewed. What did he say? Here are some excerpts from his now […]
Hey, I know I've told you about this before … but I'm trying very hard to keep current a Twitter list of local and statewide politicians. This is a most excellent way to observe the politicians in their natural habitat! LOL. Seriously, such a great way to see what matters to them and make some […]
In the most recent GLCC newsletter, the organization announced that Celebrate the Night has become an official committee of the organization. Celebrate the Night is a variety show that benefits the GLCC. As you may recall, CTN generated a firestorm last year by refusing to audition a transwoman and pronouncing that she was not woman […]
It is completely true. My innocent little email was rejected by the Steel City Media cyber guardians. I just wanted to ask Chris Potter a question. Rest assured, Potter was on it once I made the call. And once it became apparent that someone in marketing couldn't email her boyfriend … well, he was on […]
I am pro-choice. Tuesday is the 35th Anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision and bloggers throughout the nation are working to raise the profile of reproductive choice vis a vis Blog for Choice 2008. My right to make decisions about my reproductive health is not something I take lightly. While only three when Roe […]
i have hurt my back. it started throbbing last week. the two hour drive in the giant box truck to pick up toys didn't help, I'm sure. especially the part where i was scrunched up from stress trying to find the marine distribution center. then when i had to get all slidey with the boxes […]
What should I include in a Pittsburgh themed gift basket for my brother and sister-in-law? They live in Chicago. I am about 85% finished with my holiday purchases and this is the stumper. Also, is there a word, other than sister-in-law, for the woman married to your brother-in-law? Especially when you are a lesbian and […]
I love Pittsburgh. Only here could a jackass like Kenneth King get sympathy for threatening to “shank” a dog. King, a resident of the Mexican War Streets, walked past a canine unit at the Cedar Avenue Sunoco. The K-9 dog, Benny, barked at him. From inside the car. Mr. King responded to the bark. The man screamed […]
