We created this guide for anyone who could experience a miscarriage in a state with abortion restrictions. We wrote it in consultation with dozens of doctors, including those who regularly treat patients who are miscarrying 👇

DAMMIT! I'm pretty sure that this is deer poop in my backyard. My front yard gets deer regularly, but deer normally don't persevere up the long narrow driveway to the backyard. I have tulip bulbs back there! And many plants not chosen for being disliked by deer. huntwise.com/field-guide/...

Spotted, and killed, my first adult Spotted Lantern Fly of the summer. My thanks to all the local critters who have starting eating the nymphs and adults!
The new bridge is in place, and there's traffic on the Parkway under the Greenfield Bridge again, so we're back! It was lovely today -- sunny, breezy and not humid. We wave flags, and pet passing dogs. 🐕🦺 @pittsburghoverpass.bsky.social

The shelf on this table was always a good spot for a notepad, pen, and bookmarks -- until recently.
They served their country. Now they're fighting for their health care. LGBTQ+ veterans and allies rallied outside Pittsburgh's VA hospital to protest policy changes they say threaten access to transgender care and dismantle LGBTQ+ support within the VA.
LGBTQ+ Veterans Protest VA Restrictions on Transgender Care
A promise made at enlistment — that the nation will care for those who serve — has become increasingly uncertain for the nation’s LGBTQ+ veterans.

Last year, Trump and Republicans made the largest Medicaid cuts in history, putting nearly 20,000 people in my district and over 300,000 Pennsylvanians at risk of losing care. We'll keep fighting to pass bills that protect and expand access to quality, affordable healthcare.

Scenes from the meadow. I wish I could've gotten a shot of the sparrows sipping water from the cup plant but they were too far away. It's a busy day out there. Spotted some monarchs and lots of bumblebees and smaller bees too but they were camera shy. 🌿 #NativePlants

The most infuriating thing about all the Fauci stuff this week is that everyone is past tensing a pandemic that is still happening. Covid is still disabling and killing people.
