Good morning, my friends and readers. First, I am still safe with friends. They are feeding a rotating array of vegetarian foods – soup, pasta, even a tofurkey dinner. I’ve only had meat 2 times.

Each October, we celebrate LGBTQ History Month to coincide with National Coming Out Day on 11 October and to commemorate the first and second marches on Washington in 1979 and 1987 for LGBT rights.

In the backyard, I combine fun inflatables with solar powered lights. To be honest, the backyard is more for me. The inflatables peer […]
Earlier this month, Pittsburgh City Council passed two bills aimed at protecting gender-affirming care for the city’s LGBTQ population. One protects information of those who provide this care and the other preempts statewide legislative restrictions on gender-affirming care. One of the bills would make Pittsburgh a “sanctuary city” regarding gender-affirming services. This amends a previous […]
If you want to save your blog, get a TikTok they said. I have a personal TikTok that boasts mostly cat videos and low viewership. So I’m skeptical a TikTok devoted to this blog, to my blog, can do better than cats. However, I need to save my blog. Recent events have illustrated that my […]
