Blog Wrapped – 50 of the Most Read Posts in 2025

These are the blog posts you read most often in 2025. This is no a “top” list because the majority of these posts are memorials about trans neighbors who died violent deaths in the United States. That’s a blunt fact. Don’t turn away from it. If I can write these memorials, you can read them. […]

Our political blog vicennial means seeing familiar faces in all the old, familiar places 

Dan Gilman as Chief of Staff Ricky Burgess as Director of Community Impact Yarone Zober as Director of Redevelopment Corey Buckner as Manager of Community Affairs My jaw dropped when I saw Burgess and Zober were part of the O’Connor 2.0 Administration It is like a b-side of the greatest hits of my first decade […]

Here’s to Us: Let’s Celebrate 20 Years of Blogging

Today this blog turns 20 years old, an era of words, images, and experiences I could not conceive of back on that chilly December day when I thrust myself into the blogosphere. Filled with curiosity, but lacking any expertise, I began. Quickly, I was off on a wonderful adventure I never saw coming as I […]

Upbeat crowdfund update: Hey, Sue got a tattoo and 100,000 followers on Instagram

Hello friends! This will be (I hope) an upbeat update. I’ll post another data driven one tomorrow. My blog turns 20 on December 29, 2025. I am proud of that milestone. Most blogs endure 2-3 years. To commemorate it, I had the blog logo tattooed on my forearm this past Friday night. See photo. I […]

Is there insta approval for this Gen X blogger?

I joined Instagram in August 2012. Mostly I posted photos of my pets and my backyard, with some occasional selfies. It was fun. I’m more of a content curator than a creator – I do create. I follow and share content from credible, representative creators that is heavy on politics, but also social justice and […]

How to celebrate this blog’s 20th anniversary?

No news on the legal front, but some good news! Picture it, Manchester. December 29, 2005 was a Thursday. I was on a week of vacation from my job. Somehow I found myself opening up this software called ‘Blogware’ and launching my blog, Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents (pghlesbian.com.) My oldest nibling was born the very next […]

This blog and our LGBTQ+ nonprofit are being silenced on social media and PayPal

I am aghast to report that Pittsburgh LGBTQ Charities fundraising tools on GoFundMe, Facebook/Instagram/Meta, and PayPal have all been choked. We don’t know why. We simply received notifications after they paused our accounts. GoFundMe and Meta use PayPal Charities to distribute donations. I completed the paperwork they sent to me, asked for clarification, and received […]

My personal Facebook page has been shadow banned for over two years

For a long time now, I’ve noticed that engagement on my personal Facebook page has been dramatically lower than in previous years. No one comments, likes, or shares. People tell me all of the time that they don’t see my content (and when I point out that they could seek it out, they don’t.) What […]

It’s time now to sing out,though the story never ends, is it 10,519,200 minutes to measure 20 years of a blog?

December 29, 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of this blog. That’s huge. Most blogs are abandoned after 90 days, the rest typically last 2-3 years. So we are kicking some ass when it comes to longevity. Anyway, I am here right now to ask you, my correspondents, how we should celebrate? Guest blog posts – […]

Two years ago, I launched a GoFundMe for legal/living expenses. More than 300 of you have responded so far.
