A few weeks ago, I wrote about the decision of social media sharing site StumbleUpon to assign categories such a “lesbian culture” to the “not safe for work” listing. As a recap: when you like something & click to share to the site, you are prompted to indicate if the site is safe for work […]

Five people wrote in to challenge Gagliardi’s point of […]

So because a greener lifestye is part of our lesbian household mantra (albeit slow to be fully adopted), I’m going to incoporate the topic into this blog. Each Wednesday, I’ll write about a green topic. Big, small, little, etc. And feel […]
My first visit to Verde Mexican Kitchen and Cantina in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood was for a “tweetup” bringing together 25+ local social media users.
