Never Forget Ka’Sandra Wade

January 12, 2013 by

Today we will take a moment of silence and observe a cyber vigil to remember the first fatality victim of domestic violence in 2013 , Ka’Sandra Wade. I don’t know about all of you, but this news is tremendously upsetting to me. I cannot believe that in 2013 women still need to live in fear […]

NaBloPoMo: Where Do I Find The Energy?

Friday, January 11, 2013 How do you find the energy to write when you’re not in the mood? Well, typically, I don’t. Unless circumstances dictate otherwise – a topic or story that has to be covered.

Pittsburgh, that far-off forgotten outpost …

January 11, 2013 by

I guess maybe it’s a good thing that City of Pittsburgh employees still can’t read this blog, because we were snubbed recently by Human Rights Campaign. (Or maybe Pittsburgh was snubbed because employees can’t look at pghlesbian.com? Hmmm. Ve-r-r-r-y interesting.) I hadn’t heard about this until today, when someone linked to HRC’s first-ever rating system […]

NaBloPoMo: Time

Thursday, January 10, 2013 What blogging task takes up a lot of your energy? 1. Monitoring social media. 2. Resizing images. 3. Yelling at my laptop and/or waiting for it to restart. 4. Editing or being concise. Or not.

Innocent Bystanders Suffer From Homophobia

January 10, 2013 by

This morning, I sent word about the Remember Her Name vigil to members of Pittsburgh City Council. One wrote back and sent me the notice that my site is still blocked by the City web filters, categorized as nudity and pornography. I explained the situation and hope perhaps that person will be of help. When retelling […]

NaBloPoMo: Exhaustion

Wednesday, January 9, 2013 Talk about a time when you used up an extraordinary amount of energy and were exhausted. It seems that each day, the prompt ties so nicely into my unique circumstances. Let’s review – pulled my back, concussion (bumped my head again today – yikes), carpal tunnel in my right hand and […]
