Pittsburgh has a buck on the loose that somehow has coated his antlers in Christmas decor. The authorities have said he’s not in distress so let him carry that energy into 2023 and don’t rain on his holiday parade. – at Bellevue, PA

And ALL children need to be protected from violence.

An estimated 1 in 3 women experience violence throughout their lives. 45% of women reported that since the COVID-19 pandemic began, they or a woman they know has experienced some form of violence. During this #16Days & every day, we must #PushForward to end gender-based violence.
The COVID-pandemic & other global crises 🌍disproportionately impacts women and girls, particularly those further marginalized by poverty & disabilities.
Our #16Days Campaign reimagines a feminist future where ALL women & girls are free from discrimination and violence 🌻🌴

Children with disabilities are among the most excluded from education.
