When thinking about what to write for this blog, I was faced with a decision. Do I really want people to know the “real” me?? I so often use humor and sarcasm to keep people at a “safe distance”, emotionally speaking. Do I really wanna let people “in” or should I just amuse them with […]
This was a highlight of my fall … a 45 minute discussion with Tony Norman (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), Chris Potter (Pittsburgh City Paper), Aria Charles (Best Buddies) and Chaz Kellem (Pittsburgh Pirates) about fairness & accuracy in social media.

It is a positive thing to have an organization exploring the LGBTQ friendliness/competency of our nation’s post-secondary education resources. I think that’s an excellent resource. But … Penn State? Really? While I can understand that they school ranked based on criteria, I have a difficult time understanding how the atrocities of the Administrative cover up […]
