people need to stop asking if men and women can be friends. the answer is yes. in fact men and women are friends every day without it dissolving into heterosexual lust. this isnt a mystery we need to solve. its been happening.

A QUEEN

Okay, I don’t normally add on to posts but in this case I’ve got to.

Rachel Ann Bovier is a Pittsburgh legend who has been publishing her poems in city newspapers for decades. In more recent years, she started putting up these bill boards along major roads. For what reason? I have no clue. But I would often pass them on my way to Oakland for therapy. They never failed to cheer me up.

As a young trans writer, they gave me this precious little spark of joy. There was someone like me, a writer, a Pittsburgher, a trans person, who was confident enough to put their face on a bill board! I would always smile as we passed by and my mom took note.

Fast forward a few years and it’s my 21st birthday. My mom has been super excited about my gift and teased me about it over and over again. She said it was the best gift she’d ever gotten me and in many ways she was right. It was a custom poem she commissioned from Miss Bouvier! It congratulated me on my birthday, my academic success, lots of little stuff. It was simple and sweet and perfect.

I’m still not out to my parents about being trans, but that poem serves as a reminder to me that trans people are every where, they are artists, they are all ages, and their visibility is essential. So thank you to Rachel Ann Bouvier for being a great poetess and a Pittsburgh treasure!

hey shoutout to my fellow ppl who used to and/or continue to struggle with regularly fulfilling everyday hygeine tasks for literally any reason. You can make a lot of progress on that sort of thing that you may never talk about but that’s still hard-earned improvement and Im proud of you.

Youre not the only person who struggles w that and you don’t have to undercut your sense of personal improvement just because it’s the “bare minimum.”

He’s seriously such a nice person and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every time I’ve met him.  Having had the opportunity to photograph and record him is a privilege, and having had that privilege multiple times is an honor.

A few weeks ago, I brought up to our graphic designer that I should get my press pass remade with a new picture, and I’m definitely going to do that sooner or later, but I do kind of enjoy having the old one right now.  There’s so many folks that I see as part of my job that I’ve met over the years; having the old picture is a great way to jog their memories and also have a bit of fun.

I hope to have as much fun as possible, especially because fun is best when it’s shared.

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
