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 […]
We’ve been through an ordeal with our crowdfunding platforms. The reason given? “Due to recent government regulations, your account was more than likely restricted as a precautionary measure.” What recent government regulations do you know about that would be tied to our small nonprofit? The cats? The clothing drive? Hmmm. Note that we do not […]
Carl and Billie Bean live in separate households, four or five blocks apart here in Manchester on Pittsburgh’s Northside. They are both cats, both female, and both went missing from their homes. We jumped into action when we learned about Carl, lending a heated bed, a trail camera, and related items to Carl’s human. I […]
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 […]
Ok, so more the spirit of #GivingTuesday Carl and Billie Bean live in separate households, four or five blocks apart here in Manchester on Pittsburgh’s Northside. They are both cats, both female, and both went missing from their homes. We jumped into action when we learned about Carl, lending a heated bed, a trail camera, […]
The good news is that while both are sick, both are okay and stable. The bill was $996.79. Oksana has stomatitis and will need a dental. But he tested clear of FIV and FeLV so that’s great. His vitals are good, we confirmed (finally) that he’s male, and scheduled his dental for Monday, December 22. […]
It has been quite a week. Our little colony of Fort Faulsey has five resident cats: Pretty Girl, Tony DiMera, Mx. Pajamas, Callie, and Oksana. I’ve ben caring for them since December 2020. All have been (or were) TNRd. They have a pretty good life – heated shelters, heated water bowl, decent food, clean water, […]
Today, my GoFundMe reached the halfway mark – $20,000. Obviously, that means the goal is $40,000. For now. It means a great deal to me that you continue to support me, to help with legal and living expenses. Life is really hard right now, but I do find moments of joy and satisfaction. My friends […]
Thank you for your donations. You have made it possible for me to get this far. Scroll down for a current ask I have, but first I want to talk about the possibility of my being homeless. On Wednesday, we had another conciliation hearing. The outcome is that the cases go back to the Family […]
Today was rough. We had another conciliation hearing in the divorce/tort proceedings. There’s no common ground, I guess. So we go back to the Family Court judge. But our judge is leaving Family Court so we will be assigned a new judge who may be an experienced judge just new to us or an actual […]
