My #orchestra's spring concert is online. It's a pretty fresh set of music by American composers - #JohnAdams, #LeonardBernstein, #aaroncopland and more. I'm realizing I could be a bit more "economical" with my bowing, and stop making faces when I goof up...but more importantly, this is just such a GOOD GROUP of people. And I'm proud of the orchestra for challenging itself to do diverse repertoire.

PITTSBURGH: looking for a PA-based lawyer or best-qualified person to help a gay and unhoused friend-of-a-friend who was in an altercation and is in jail in Harrisburg. He’s from NY and was on his way to stay with a dear friend in PGH. Please help - thanks!

If the sky north of Pittsburgh is any indication it looks like an active storm is rolling in. I think this is the most lightning I've seen since moving into my apartment.

Pittsburgh I am in you. #pgh #anthrocon

I accidentally canceled my internet a day early, but it meant a chance to visit the lovely Squirrel Hill branch of the library and Commonwealth Coffee once more. Squirrel Hill really is My Neighborhood. I wish I could just take it with me.

Getting down to my last 48 hours in #Pittsburgh #PGH, after 12 years here (2 years for grad school, then I moved away, then I came back in 2013). Surreal. Truly.

Not sure how many #Pittsburgh #PGH folks are on here, but if you’re going to the household hazardous waste dropoff in North Park, the car queue is looooong. Easily 30 minutes.

So worth it, though! I dropped off 3 bankers’ boxes of cleaning supplies and ~6 cans of paint and they only charged me the $20 flat rate.

There’s another pickup day in June. Reservation required!

“It’s been a long day here.” - Delta pilot (after asking ATC to repeat instructions a couple of times)
“For both of us. I like it so much I’m here for a second time.” - #KPIT #ATC
“Haha!” - Delta pilot

#LiveATC #PIT #Pittsburgh #PGH

SO GRATEFUL that Pennsylvania (the PA Resource Council) has a service to dispose of household cleaning supplies. Because I bought waaaayyyy too many over the last 7 years and can't take them with me.

Planes going to LGA are being redirected to PIT due to the line of storms moving through, and more from the region are sure to follow. Good time to head to the airport, in case anything bigger than a 737 is among them!

I’ll be heading to the Ewing Rd. east-side viewing spot, right by the Aetna office. Hit me up if you want to join~

PITTSBURGH: squall line including severe-warned thunderstorms will be here within the hour. Beginnings of a bow echo on the line moving in from E. OH, so expect intense winds.

(Apparently y’all have had this several times these last couple of weeks, but I was lucky to be out-of-town for those…not this time, though.)

#Pittsburgh #PGH #SWPA Bad weather to our west. Be vigilant this evening.

Espresso A Mano in Lawrenceville has a simple syrup infused with garam masala, and it is an experience I would recommend! (Note that I’m not saying “like,” but this was a successful pairing that’s worth trying.)

They also have a honey miso one that I hope to try before I leave town.

Goddamn, I forgot how nice it is to just go out and have a few drinks with friends.

Also, I created brillobox on @gowalla in the year 2023, which surely earns me some kind of weird #PGH merit badge. 😂

Also #ForSale: some vintage #Corningware serving dishes (French White). $20 OBO for both. In fantastic condition. #Pittsburgh #PGH

#Pittsburgh #PGH selling a sleeper sofa! La-Z-Boy. Queen pullout bed has never been used.

Bottom left corner = tape I put on ages ago to dissuade my cat from scratching it (he never did - instead, he slept on it, a lot).

Comes with pictured throw pillows.

Very heavy.

$450 OBO, very willing to negotiate on the price! Just need it out ASAP. I’m moving to Seattle and selling my house and it isn’t coming with me.

#ForSale

The U.S. is particularly scary right now and it can feel hard to find allies. #Sprezzatura is a #Pittsburg businesses putting its money where its mouth is - employing locals, helping to keep the #CommunityFridge stocked, providing meals to those in need and space for local non-profits.
Any and all support you can provide to help them bounce back from a recent fire is greatly appreciated 💜

I'm keeping an eye out for entry-level #IT and #HelpDesk #jobs in the #Pittsburgh area. I'm a tech- and people-oriented individual who doesn't have much industry experience yet, but I'm a very fast learner; I was promoted at my current job only a year in! I am more than willing to work in-office (and actually prefer it, personally) so long as it's in the #PGH area.

Every single week, I put off practicing music until the day before/of rehearsal, and then I get super anxious and consider skipping rehearsal.

But this is my second-to-last rehearsal with them, since our next concert’s in 2 weekends and I’ll be moving soon after…

This is SUCH a good group. I’m going to miss them so much.

And I hate to admit it, but my sofa is a Danger Zone…for losing hours, lying down, and napping. That may need to go, too. (I also have an IKEA loveseat that’s harder to “nest” in.)

La-Z-Boy 3 seater sleeper sofa. A delightful teal color. Cushions are soft but comfy. My cat used to lounge on it. Pull-out bed has never been used. #pittsburgh #pgh, make me an offer. ✌🏽
