Today this blog turns 20 years old, an era of words, images, and experiences I could not conceive of back on that chilly December day when I thrust myself into the blogosphere. Filled with curiosity, but lacking any expertise, I began. Quickly, I was off on a wonderful adventure I never saw coming as I […]
December 29, 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of this blog. That’s huge. Most blogs are abandoned after 90 days, the rest typically last 2-3 years. So we are kicking some ass when it comes to longevity. Anyway, I am here right now to ask you, my correspondents, how we should celebrate? Guest blog posts – […]
‘Bleakly ironic and spent’ might be my word phrase of the year for 2025. It is so amazing to be heading into my 20th year of blogging that I have to remind myself to stop and consider 19 years of blogging first. Most blogs last 90 days, those that continue last 2-3 years, and then […]
It has been several years since I participated in National Blog Post Month or NaBloPoMo. I published a post every day during November this year. Particularly challenging this November as I navigated a fine line between disengagement and sanity. Sanity did not always prevail. Several posts were deep dives inward, exploring my traumas and a […]

I received my second national #GLAADaward as Outstanding Blog in May. I threw out the first pitch during the Pittsburgh Pirates Pride Night at PNC […]
Most blogs are abandoned within 90 days. Those that endure typically last 2-3 years. That works out to my blog being 5-8 “generations” removed from the blogs someone launches as a New Years resolution in 2022. I don’t remember celebrating my actual sweet 16, but it was certainly not like the movies. I was all […]
In addition to the proclamations, I have had assorted local artists and creators create lovely art in honor of our 15th blogiversary. Yesterday, we posted a maze from Joe Wos and today I have this lovely haiku from my friend Staci B. It makes me heart swell to have people imbuing this milestone with so […]
I cannot put into words how much I love this. I love that it starts with my original logo that is clearly centering two women and ends with the progressive Pride flag. I love the cat. I love the snowflake. I really love the cell phone and laptop. Joe Wos has been a long […]
A little heads up on our 15th anniversary (blogiversary) tomorrow, December 29, 2020. I’ll share the actual proclamation tomorrow. But I must say right now that this touched me far more deeply than I imagined. Councilor Bruce Kraus sponsored this and the staffer who handled it was so delightful to work with, they seemed genuinely […]
