The workers who keep Western PA powered deserve more than our gratitude. They deserve a voice at work. Nearly 1,000 Duquesne Light workers with IBEW Local 29 are on strike, fighting for safety, job security, and a fair contract. I stand with working people.

Views from DC.

Close architectural view of overlapping curved glass buildings in shades of deep blue, teal, and green. Repeating window panels, reflections, and sweeping dark curves create an abstract layered composition, with warm sunlight illuminating portions of the glass and cloudy sky.

Stacks of brightly colored red, orange, yellow, and green kayaks sit along the waterfront, their vivid colors reflected and distorted in the rippling water below.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

Posting for @pricelaborecon.bsky.social only. Everyone else don’t look at this beautiful flower I saw today.

Close-up of a vibrant pink flower, photographed with a very shallow depth of field. A small cluster of curled petals near the center is in focus, surrounded by soft layers of pink, magenta, and pale yellow petals that blur toward the edges against a dark background.

Pittsburgh is beautiful. I sure do love this city.

A bright yellow Pittsburgh suspension bridge rises against a dramatic sky filled with towering white and dark gray clouds. The bridge’s steel arch and cables frame the roadway and a distant building, while patches of deep blue sky break through above.

This is genocidal rhetoric from the president of the United States. Trump explicitly stated that if Dems win the midterms, “Transgender will never end.” The stated goal of the president of the United States and his party is to make transgender people “end.”

Excited to announce $82.7 million in federal funding for the T! This investment will help replace old train cars & make public transit safer for thousands of riders who rely on it every day. I’m proud to partner with our local and federal leaders to support our PRT system & keep our region moving.

Time and time again Dems are voting by large margins to reject transphobia and candidates that are willing to throw us under the bus in their pursuit of power. We will win. And we will outlive those who want to erase us.

It really is that simple to shut this down - utilize the system that existed for years until the anti-trans rage machine lied to the public about it. Being trans isn't something I can take on and off, it's who I am, and I'm proud of it. Sport needs to be inclusive to all.

Quiet Saturday morning in the garden. Sleepy bees and purple buds.

A macro photograph of a pollen-covered bee crawling across the center of a bright yellow sunflower. The bee is sharply focused against the flower’s textured disk, while the surrounding petals and background fade into a warm golden blur, emphasizing the tiny details of the bee and pollen.

A close-up macro photograph of the spiky orange and green center cone of a purple coneflower (echinacea), with soft pink-purple petals and blurred blooms in the background. The shallow depth of field highlights the intricate geometric pattern of the flower’s center.
