GLCC Launches Women’s Group in January

It was late June 2003. I had been volunteering with the GLCC for a year or so. I decided to take a chance on a new “women’s discussion group” that was being formed. So off I went one Sunday afternoon to see what might happen. Magic. That was the night I met Ledcat. She, too, […]

Post-Concussive Whatever

Let me assure you, this is not a joke. Here has been my final quarter – Oct/Nov: unnown wrist tendon ailment that requires an as of yet to be scheduled electrical impule nerve test delayed by other injuries and snow. The main day to day impact is that I wear an awkward splint that throws […]

Facebook Takes Another Step Toward Equality; Still Hung Up On Words

Facebook is evolving.   Facebook, the world’s largest online social network, has taken another step toward LGBT-inclusiveness, introducing same-sex icons for users to select from when adding marriage events to their profile’s timeline. Previously, the marriages between gay couples were marked by the default “bride and groom” icon. That’s good. Images matter. But I don’t […]

Anderson Cooper “The fact is, I’m gay”

Journalist Anderson Cooper confirms that he is gay in a thoughtful letter to blogger Andrew Sullivan. I’ve also been reminded recently that while as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible. There continue to be far too […]

Lesbian Reflection on Netroots Nation 2012: Part One

“Reentry” as I like to refer to post-vacation/travel time seems to be over – work schedules resumed, pets reclaimed from assorted boarding venues, cats no longer glued to our sides and a new gallon of milk has been purchased. Ah, the glamorous life of two middle aged Pittsburgh lesbians … happy that we get through […]

Pinning Queerly – Me and My Pinterest Boards

When I joined Pinterest, I started a set of boards for my work projects and a set for my personal life. Unfortunately (???) I defaulted to work pins because it was easier. I have to take the effort to log out and back in to post to my PghLesbian boards so I rarely do it.  […]

Saturday Random Cat Stuff …

I found a great post with instructions on how to build your own cat climbing tree. I would love to attempt this because our cats have decimated our little tree. And hampers. And baskets. And a chair … and …   Cats and lesbians are a well-known match. We have several cats. Two came with Ledcat. […]

Its Okay Because My Friend is Gay #FAIL

Reprinted from Bilerico.com This morning a friend contacted me to share her disgust hat a local radio program was doing a sketch bit about “trannies” – it seems that they were guessing the biological gender of a photo array of sex workers. Yep, that’s what passes for morning entertainment in Pittsburgh. Before you ask, yes, I did contact […]

As we wind down our Christmas Eve festivities, Ledcat and I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and a general Happy Holidays from our family! We spent the evening eating takeout Thai food and watching “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” on YouTube.  Of course, we had a few cats […]
