I’ve been giving serious thought as to what comes next for this blog. This was before the City Paper closed and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announced its closure. Both are not good. And makes me thinking more important. Typically this time of year, I’d be gearing up for the Political Q&A series, but last year’s disrespect from […]
The demise of the Pittsburgh City Paper The first thing I did after learning about this turn of events was to go to the CP archives and download a pdf of every article that referenced me (77) so I wouldn’t lose them. Not a single piece covering the closure of this significant media asset mentioned […]
I was pleasantly surprised to be named a finalist in two categories of the ‘Best of Pittsburgh’ 2025 awards – for Best BlueSky account and Best Threads account.

Read on to see how the overlords at the Butler Eagle not only undermined the strike of the Post-Gazette employees by printing the paper, but apparently treat their City Paper […]
I am so pleased to share this with you – Pittsburgh LGBTQ Charities has been voted into the finalist round of the Pittsburgh City Paper ‘Best of Pittsburgh’ Reader’s Poll. The category is Best Social Justice Organization. That is so amazing – this is our first year of programming and supports. I think the work […]
So the Pittsburgh City Paper thought the #santaclawspgh project was about gift cards for cats, not cat caregivers. I was interviewed. I spent time crafting responses on a weekend night b/c of the deadline. Then they pulled the story because they said it is not “upbeat” enough about helping animals. I only found out about […]
It is a nice year to be a contender because we can potentially actually visit the winners – maybe, depending on how well we follow the guidelines. That’s progress! I am honored to be a finalist (the top ten vote getters) in three categories. Best Local Blog – so this isn’t all me and I’ve […]
For a project launched in early April, receiving a nod four months later as a finalist in a local reader’s poll is fulfilling.
