It was 1990. I was a college sophomore in Northern Virginia, learning about environmental issues from my friend, George Neighbors. Earth Day was my first activist event. The week before, George took a group of us out with wheat paste to flyer Alexandria also known as Old Towne. It was pretty tame, but it felt […]

I am honored to be named to the 2025 ‘Power List’ to kick-off Lesbian Visibility Week. Thank you to the Curve Foundation for this honor and the chance to highlight important issues. “[T]hese individuals are breaking barriers, challenging norms, and leaving an indelible mark on our community and beyond. It is essential for us to […]
For years, one little tulip would bloom in the backyard, between the compost bin and the cat feeding station. We’ve tried to remember it’s origin. I thought a family funeral, but my blog archives proved otherwise – they were a condolence gift in March 2008 after the death of our beloved dog Mona. She had […]
Today is a very important holiday that we have slightly tweaked to represent all the wonderful people who have bonds with cats. National Cat Ladies Folx Day seems a little random without much documentation, but we are used to that. I’ve changed ‘cat lady’ to ‘cat folx’ to be more representative of the lush diversity […]

My friend has long stayed away from online currency accounts. The few times I needed to send $$ to her, I sent it to her son’s PayPal. So I was quite surprised to get her note that she had successfully set up a Venmo account and sent me $20. Sure enough, there it was with […]
I grew up believing in Easter the way all Gen X kids did – yeah, yeah, yeah, let’s get to the candy. We watched the Rankin and Bass holiday shows, much inferior to the Christmas shows. Wear a new dress, eat some ham. I had no clue, like most Catholic kids. No clue what any […]
