I can’t decide if it’s a sign of the times or simply dumb luck. Burned the index finger of my dominant hand on the icing of a Pop-Tart fresh out of the toaster. Ran cold water. Google “wtf do I do now.” And here I sit with my finger swathed in petroleum jelly and generic […]

Big thanks to cat food donors Danielle, Sherry, Christina, Richard and a ton of anonymous donors. And to our own Marie who dipped into her personal pantry of cat food to even out the distribution.

November is an intense month. Sad anniversaries of dead loved ones. My mother’s birthday (today,) The fun of Thanksgiving meals. Occasional snow flurries. Lingering leaves hanging tightly to their trees. The Season of the Sticks? So why not set a personal challenge -again- to blog daily? November is National Writers Month, the closest we’ll get […]

Recent analysis shows LGBTQ voters could again provide the decisive vote for pro-equality candidates, particularly in four “battleground” states – Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania – all of which have populations of LGBTQ adults significantly larger than the margin of victory for the 2020 winning presidential candidate.
