The clock is ticking for the (back)YardSale on Sat Sept 7, 2024 in Manchester Everything got delayed when we found a bedraggled cat on Faulsey Way. Turns out she’s 16 years old and weighs 4 lbs! She’s now in Marie’s bathroom after a vet visit that cost $430. Once her bloodwork comes back, we’ll try to find […]
Next on our list of items for (back)YardSale to benefit #PghCatFolx are cat beds. A bed is a very personal item to pass along. I find it very hard. But important. Lots of sizes and styles, some modeled here. Beds can be especially comfy for sick or injured cats, litters of foster kittens, aging animals, […]
Today’s suggestion of items to donate to (back)YardSale to benefit #PghCatFolx … hand and garden tools. Do you have extra pairs of scissors? Multiple hammers and screwdrivers? A collapsible snow shovel? Zip ties from that 2015 project? Flashlights? Partial packs of batteries? Tool bags? Carabiners? Swiss Army knife? All these and more can make an […]

Today, we are asking for linens: towels, sheets, and blankets. That sort of thing. Any style, any size. Washcloths are great. These items swaddle kittens into ‘purritos’ to get meds and […]
“I am a blogger,” I offer in lieu of the J word – a fusion of activism, reactivism, and news. The distinction seems important. I rarely stop to examine the accuracy of my clause because of the intensity I feel my cause. See, a journalist wouldn’t write that sentence, correct? “I am not a journalist,” […]
Update – the Albatross Next week will mark one year since I was wrongly involuntarily civilly committed, had the locks changed to my home of 18+ years, and was officially homeless for 196 days. Just prior to those events, negligent medication management had left me toxic with something akin to serotonin syndrome. Just prior to […]
