So the divorce trial approaches. That’s hard. It is even harder to think about what comes next. Appeals. Will I be able to fund them? Will I have a place to live that’s safe and secure? Am I going to have any agency in my life again? Today marks three years since I launched my […]
So here’s my occasional plea for your help. I am in the midst of three court cases stemming from events in August 2023. I was homeless for six months. I’ve been home for nearly two years, but things are tough. I depend on you to help me with living and legal expenses while these cases […]
Over the past four days, you’ve donated $1800 to my legal and living expenses fund. That’s just … wow.

I asked folx to […]

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 […]

We need your support to continue this work. For those of you new to my regular appeals, I’m coping with two court cases, one in Family Court and one in Federal District Court. Plus, I have a defamation legal action hanging over my head b/c of my work to Protect Trans Kids. My source of […]

It has been a challenging six months for the blog and this blogger. We just started our 19th year of blogging in December. We were honored for that milestone by the Pennsylvania State Senate and the Pittsburgh City Council. Also, we were nominated again in the Oustanding Blog category of the GLAAD Media Awards. And […]
