On Wednesday at 11 a.m., we’ll bring your message directly to the PG & the bosses who take money to harm Pittsburgh. Maybe we’ll see them in court, maybe not. Regardless, we’ll deliver a reminder of what community solidarity looks like.

“When the paperwork’s done, I hitch a ride to Klak in the bed of a Chevy pickup so rusty I can see the dirt road passing through the holes between my feet.” Read from Jake Maynard’s debut novel, Slime Line.

I wrote about killer whale trainers having an identity crisis for @GuardianUS

despite this heartbreaking loss I can confirm that pittsburgh is having an absolute banger of a soccer season if anyone would like to join me in my summer 2023 goal of Getting Really Into The Riverhounds
