I went to the dentist last week, abuzz with anxiety. This weirdly ended up okay because I just had one cavity and everything else was fixable. Except one bad tooth that has to be uninstalled. Second chances are always important. The dental cleaning weakened the bad tooth and it really hurt. I called an oral […]
After the situation with Sam Norquist, we must be very careful. Please share with folx in Seattle and Georgia. Update from friends. Once again we come to you for help in finding Van. The last email I received was November 15th, and the last online presence shared was on November 17th. The person who paid […]

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 […]

It was around this time of that year when the photo below was taken. End of winter term. Terrified about what came next. Certain that working in Congress was not for me. 34 years ago. I had no idea how much my degree in political science and that internship would shape this 20 year labor […]
Today, I read this disgusting news on LGBTQ Nation The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has altered the official portrait of Adm. Rachel Levine, the out transgender former assistant secretary for health under President Joe Biden, to display Levine’s deadname — a needless act of transphobia that Levine has called “petty.” Her portrait […]
This colony sprang to life before roads were paved or houses built, when the confluence of waterways, plentiful food, and the lush green life by the riverside flourished in this region. We are told that domestic cats arrived with colonizers, they were not native to these lands. But people were. Some of those people had […]
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 […]
