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 […]
I joined Instagram in August 2012. Mostly I posted photos of my pets and my backyard, with some occasional selfies. It was fun. I’m more of a content curator than a creator – I do create. I follow and share content from credible, representative creators that is heavy on politics, but also social justice and […]
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 […]
I am aghast to report that Pittsburgh LGBTQ Charities fundraising tools on GoFundMe, Facebook/Instagram/Meta, and PayPal have all been choked. We don’t know why. We simply received notifications after they paused our accounts. GoFundMe and Meta use PayPal Charities to distribute donations. I completed the paperwork they sent to me, asked for clarification, and received […]

CN: anti-trans rhetoric, influencer, suicide, haters I hit a nice, fun milestone last night, reaching 50k followers on Instagram. Being a curious person, I dove deep into the world of followers and influencers and so forth. In return, every social media analytic company under the sun sent me an email. See, fun? But what does […]
Someone asked me how I’m showing up to resist and defy the traumatic chaos seeping out of the White House. Fair question, my friend. So I’ve had pneumonia, still do. That’s dampened my capacity to engage in critical thinking activities, but I am on the mend. I’m trying to continue mending by not moving too […]
Today has been a day. I awoke to find this lovely article in the Pittsburgh Union Progress highlighting our work to help the folx who help the cats and critters. The pantry is a labor of love for her, named in memory of her lifelong friend John Ruffing, a West Mifflin resident and veterinarian who […]
We create hope, not simply hold onto it or believe in it. Our actions create hope, our intentions and our impact. (Good intentions without good impact can also destroy hope. Don’t fall back on your intentions.) I have not written many news or political posts since the election. I am paying attention, but unsure what […]
I haven’t posted much about the political/electoral world this month. Frankly, it hurts my heart to even try to keep up with it. I’m not burying my head in the sand. I’m reconstituting my political self. On Instagram. I scroll every day, searching for content that’s uplifting, humorous, and absolutely representative of the many cultures […]
