The worst kind of horrifying moment for Danielle Dehoniesto was when she found her 27-year-old Black trans daughter, Kamora Woods, dead on the floor from a gunshot wound. Her mother found Kamora half-naked in her bedroom, shot in the head. This was June 26, 2025 in Indianapolis. Police determined that Kamora died June 25, 2025 […]
Content Note: racism, gender, body autonomy, rape, immigration, violence, mental health. Read at your own risk. Some of the comments I’ve received lately on FB and Instagram. These are your neighbors spewing violence and hate. Why share? For a permanent record. I’d really like to tell the guy that I lived in the DMV for […]

One example is how I rushed, crammed, fit in, scheduled, rescheduled, […]
Things are dire with the Dr. John P. Ruffing VMD Pet Food Pantry. I’m out of ideas. We can’t get the shed up. To get started, here’s a sweet video clip of two bonded cats born outside separately in 2019. They’ve lived here ever since. Spencer Cassadine is on the left, Kinzua on the right. […]
Marriage equality is going to fall. Marriage equality is going to fall. Soon, much sooner than we expected. Potentially very soon. I’ve been saying this all along and pleading with everyone to strengthen functional marriage equivalents (domestic partnerships, civil unions, etc) especially in states like Pennsylvania. PA has a ‘trigger law’ – a Defense of […]
