I’m trying hard to blog daily for NaBloPoMo. It has been a dark week. Other people let me down, I let myself down. My post for today is a list of what I accomplished today. As my reward for not giving into despair, multiple cats came to visit me tonight in my room. That makes […]
I can’t think of a blog topic today. That’s okay. Sometimes you just need a placeholder while your brain sorts out all of the things.
I watch (and share) a lot of videos that are focused on identifying ICE agents, documenting kidnappings, and lauding the creative, persistent resistance. Sometimes I wonder what I’d say if I was holding the bullhorn or recording with my phone. I’m not sure that the words of an individual have any impact or can prevent […]
Today was busy. I did some work on sourcing winter shelters for our pet food pantry caretakers. Thanks to many volunteers, we now have 10 completed shelters that should be distributed in the next 48 hours as cold weather approaches. We need some more. I asked Animal Friends for more kits. One of our caretakers […]
“Why should anyone feel secure about the right to marry,” he asked, “when this Court has proven it doesn’t believe in precedent?” Jim Obergefell to The Advocate magazine. Today, Friday, the Supreme Court Justices will meet behind closed doors to determine if they will hear a case that includes a challenge to the previous ruling […]
I’m too tired to even try to write something witty and thoughtful for #NaBloPoMo. Got up early, drove to Animal Friends to pick up shelters and straw for our pet food pantry folks. Missed the turn. Twice. Opened back of Gertie to find everything had slid everywhere. Wriggled into Gertie which I’m sure was a […]
Once again. my #NaBloPoMo post is coming in under the wire. I spent hours today – HOURS – updating my listing of all of the LGBTQ+ folx elected in Pennsylvania, dating back to 1992. But an update doesn’t count. This morning, I heard ‘O Valencia’ by The Decemberists while I was making coffee. It has […]
NaBloPoMo 2025, November 3. I have an announcement to make. Like many of you (well, all of you) I find it tiresome to watch my cell phone inbox fill up with spam every single day. I used to just answer the call, wait for it to connect, and then hang up. But that’s not always […]
NaBloPoMo 2025: November 2 A great concern me has always been the lack of solidarity affluent white gay men and lesbians demonstrate to the larger LGBTQ+ community, especially those who do not identify as gay or lesbian. This illustrated the importance of a class or economic analysis when discussing “the” LGBTQ+ community. The lapse of […]
Life is complicated right now, but I decided to get back on this horse and try again. Making time to blog each day is an important mental and emotional exercise. I don’t know what to say this first day. There are no prompts for National Blog Post Month days this year. Perhaps as the art […]
