This weekend, a friend gifted me with a new laptop. They bought it for me when my previous laptop died. I’ve been using the previous-previous laptop to that one, but it is a hot mess after years of churning out blog posts and social media content. It still works well enough compared to the one […]
UPDATE all three have been released Nekima Levy Armstrong, Chauntyll Louisa Allen and William Kelly. Three community leaders and activists. Today, they were arrested by the federal government for their role in a recent protest at a St. Paul Christian Church helmed by an employee, an agent of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. Some parishioners were […]
We had great time yesterday at the Betty White’s Birthday Winter Cat Shelter Workshop, Over 20 neighbors got together at Allegheny City Brewing on the Northside. Owner Amy donated the space and provided complimentary beverages. Nearby Bistro-to-Go sent coffee (January weather) and cheesecake bites (Betty White reference.) The good news outcome – we collectively made […]
This project has operated for over a year without much incident. The few mishaps we had with pet distributions were miscommunication. People were helpful to each other, careful when they had to move bags around, quick to alert us of issues like a bag breaking open. Sadly in the past six weeks, we’ve had at […]
UPDATE: Please read this post for an update on the pet food pantry being robbed. There are all sorts of winter shelters to help colony cats endure the worst weather.

On September 12, 2001, I was scheduled for an interview with a Post-Gazette reporter about a job fair I was coordinating in October. My boss made me call the journalist to confirm the appointment.

Remember him as Anthony Geary, a gay male actor with many theater credits and a great 30 year on-screen love story, followed by another great 20 year love story. That’s what he wanted even though he acknowledged he would always be remembered as Luke Spencer. Yes, he played the character who revolutionized daytime drama, across […]
I like calendars – being oriented to date and time are good mental health practices. I like calendars with attitude. And cats. In 2025, I had three wall calendars and one daily tear away calendar. The tear away was filled with women’s quotes, but in a bland way that focused on traditional messages. But I […]
This list compiled from social media listing. Check carefully for local details. Many of these events are organized by chapters of Invisible, others by similar groups. Two events were previously scheduled that are not part of this specific action, but are part of the cause. Please send me (or tag me @Pghlesbian) in photos I […]
I’ve been giving serious thought as to what comes next for this blog. This was before the City Paper closed and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announced its closure. Both are not good. And makes me thinking more important. Typically this time of year, I’d be gearing up for the Political Q&A series, but last year’s disrespect from […]
