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 […]
Time for our annual round-up of the 30 most frequently read blog posts during 2020. 18 posts focus on violent murders of LGBTQ folx, particularly transgender neighbors.

Afterwards, I took a nap. Foster kittens Stefano DiMera and Spencer Cassadine were in the bedroom with me. Stefano slept near […]
Today marks 170 days of quarantining here in Pittsburgh. At first, I didn’t track this particular statistic, it would only be sad to watch the number climb. That was in March. By the time August rolled around, I wanted to be conscious of that number so I started posting to my Instagram daily, a photo […]
As popular as they are, the #AMPLIFY posts don’t have the reach that my original blogging does which affirms my commitment to keep these stories intertwined with the rest of the posts. In between writing about the epidemics of violence, the harm of anti-poverty initiatives and some of my own personal experiences with negative factors, we all need the stories of lives lived in spite of those obstacles. I believe reading about the everyday experiences of LGBTQ people in their own words fleshes out the posts that I write about people who can no longer speak for themselves.
