Earlier this week, I wrote about plans to close the #ProtectTransKids project due to a lack of funding. Since then, one person whom I do not know IRL offered to make some calls as he put it. Today, a woman reached out offering $2000 or 20% of the $10k we need if I can find […]
My voicemail can handle about three messages before it is full. I am frequently being told “Your inbox is full” or “Delete some messages” or some such advice. I try hard to stay on top of the three spam messages that inevitably fill those slots, but I’m only human. The rest of the voicemail slots? […]
I had a delicious turkey dinner from Bistro-to-Go for lunch, planned holiday decorations for the Fort Faulsey colony, and have my blueberry muffins ready to go for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I finally put flannel sheets on my bed. All in all, a good Thanksgiving Eve. For my #NaBloPoMo contribution, I pulled together a […]
I expect the winter holidays will be a little challenging. Not as raw as last year, perhaps more insistent on looking forward. So I made a list of traditions, new and old, and already invited friends to join me. I have no one with whom I’ll exchange gifts. Of course I’ll gift to my nephews, […]

I’m reconstituting my political self. On Instagram. I scroll every day, searching for content that’s uplifting, humorous, and absolutely representative of the many cultures […]
Content Note: mental health, bureaucracy, aging, suicide, shed building Last week. A dark and twisty series of days, events, and revelations. It was pretty rough. First … First, there’s my struggle to find a good therapist who accepts Medicare. Or will. I have private insurance now through my spouse, but I also have a Medicare […]
Getting Pittsburgh LGBTQ Charities (PLC) to a healthy place after my year’s absence has been hard and here is how you can volunteer to help. Handyperson – Help Us Build Our Shed A shed was donated to us, but lack of folx to assemble meant we spent $2700 storing it (and other things.) Last month, […]
Everyone is significant and welcome at our table. Its an honor they invited us to care for their food. This is the beginning of relationship. Walks our talk, Matches with our culture and what we want to promote. We are better together. One thing I love about Bistro to Go is obviously the food. For […]
