I have today off due to an in-service day at the school I work at. Funny enough, my husband has to work all day, which doesn’t happen that often, so I kind of have the house to myself. So I made myself a cup of tea and watching a cooking video and miraculously my older boy cat is sitting on my lap.

The plus of being the oldest person for trivia night is that I was there for a lot of it.

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

I grew up with Pratchett, LeGuin,Tolkien and Sanderson as a kid and never understood the hype around HP (I read the 1st book as a kid and it was crap) I can only say YES ! There are so much fantasy and magical series with better writing and which don't finance bigotry and racism. #BookSky

I just finished writing a story about a woman named Zenobia. She lived in Pittsburgh & was a civil rights force of nature who lived up to the historical woman for whom she was named. Another Zenobia was inscribed on a wall in Cincy’s Underground Railroad Museum.

PS… I was out with friends this evening, and I saw this woman who was the absolute definition of style and I went and told her and then I told her dining companion that he was in the presence of an absolutely amazing woman and then just walked away. Let's do more of that for each other.

Ok, since so many seem to be telling me about this piece by Doug H., I will make this point as clear as I can. If you want to understand by Pittsburgh region metrics fare so badly compared to elsewhere, start by looking at the suburban counties. (1/x) pittsburghquarterly.com/articles/tyr...

Good morning yinz! Don’t forget to drink some fucking water today, don’t let the bastards get you down and don’t forget to take your fucking medication. Also turn off the fucking news because it’s all fucking bad. Also fuck the Nazis past present and future.

As the daughter of a coal Miner, who finally retired after years and years, I don’t know how he plans to fucking open up coal mines one most of them have closed and most of the companies that ran them have also closed and no young person is going to get into coal mining.

Came home to my refrigerator dying, so guess who gets to throw out a bunch of groceries that she just bought.

“The US defense department webpage celebrating an army general who served in the Vietnam war and was awarded the country’s highest military decoration has been removed and the letters ‘DEI’ added to the site’s address… The URL was also changed, with the word “medal” changed to “ ‘deimedal.’”

Perhaps they were on their way to a potluck at a church.

Meanwhile my daughter asked to go to the mall. The answer was no.

Pittsburgher here, John Fetterman has been cosplaying as some tough guy from the streets, but he inherited 8 Million dollars from his parents. He had an incredibly wealthy upbringing. His father, Karl, is the founder/owner of Kling Insurance. I don't even think he ever attended a public school here.

58 yrs ago today, The Velvet Underground released their debut 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐭 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 & 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨. A record that spawned genres such as art rock, experimental rock, proto-punk, garage rock, & noise rock. It's one of the most influential albums in music history and one that i really love.♡

I was born in Pittsburgh and lived here for most of my life, large scale manufacturing is not coming back. Pittsburgh is not a Steel City, it is a City of Hospitals, Colleges, and Tech now.
