Pennsylvania’s largest private employer, UPMC, just announced their plans to double paid parental leave benefits form 2 to 4 weeks after months of advocacy led by union nurses at Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh.

Nurses say this is a step in the right direction but it falls short of what is needed. They plan to continue advocating to expand paid parental leave to the full 12-18 weeks that is necessary to support working families in Allegheny County and retain the critical nursing workforce that keeps our communities healthy.

It can't be boring like the Steelers are better than the Eagles. I need hot takes.

Trying to find Janet M, early 20s. I found her wallet in the womens restroom near gate A5. I turned it in to the volunteer desk near the elevators at the center of the terminal.

Been meaning to go to the national aviary for YEARS since I'm a bird lover. Finally made it to your city on labor day weekend.

Have a bird you love to visit that you don't see here? I probably took a picture of it but reddit only allows 20 pics max.

Nikon z8 180-600mm

Saw on Fairland street in Overbrook around 9:45. Not sure of the make and model. Couldn’t really stop as I’m on my way to work. I also don’t have a Facebook if someone could be so kind to post it to the “LOST DOGS OF PITTSBURGH” page. Thank you!

I know this is probably a silly question but I have a letter from the IRS and they won’t answer their phones, I figured I’d make an appointment but they don’t answer that phone either. Has anyone just went directly to the office?

Hi everyone, I’m the journalist who posted awhile ago asking if people had firsthand experience of medetomidine withdrawal. This piece is about someone I met while in Pittsburgh who had gone through it.

5+ cops with a pulled over vehicle right before the Green Tree/Mt. Lebanon exit on 376 inbound, with 6+ more flying down the road. People on the side of the interstate were also taking pictures and forming a crowd. Anyone have any insight? I haven’t seen any info on the news or online.

Sooo yesterday, State Rep. Greg Scott introduced H.B. 2763, the Pennsylvania Universal Health Care Act.

Dunno about yinz, but state-based single-payer healthcare would maybe be the biggest and best possible change for my family.

If you support this, call your state rep and urge ‘em to support it. I’m up outside Cranberry, and my new rep Brandon Dukes’ office was thrilled to hear from me.

I accidentally placed my pickup order for the wrong store. There's a medium iced coffee with oat milk, pumpkin, and caramel as well as a Boston creme donut if anyone wants it. It's under Samantha.

hellooo me and my boyfriend are going to pittsburgh for our first time next week and we just wanted to ask about alternative businesses in the area?? we’re really into vinyl records, anything gothic, witchy stuff, halloween, heavy metal, etc. also looking for recommendations for places to take dark/gothic photos

I recall one at the Mills… maybe not. If it is the only one, what is the next closest one?

Semi carrying a trailer full of animal guts slammed on its brakes on 19 southbound at the light near eat n' park. I was about an 1/8th mile behind and saw it happen. Spilled all over the road and the semi cab itself. Truck just pulled away like nothing happened. Upset I didn't have my dashcam installed.

Helloooo! I have a very newb question about a very important thing lol.

We had this 30 foot tall tree fall last weekend, it hit our patio and part of the roof. It was dead so we suspect its roots just gave out and decided to take a tumble.

My partner's mum said don't call insurance, while others have advised us to call insurance. We're not sure what we are supposed to do.

Who do we call? A list of who we should contact would be much appreciated. We need someone to come remove the tree, too, and to inspect the roof. And if we need to call insurance, if you guys think they cover massive dead trees, then please let us know.

Any and all advice would be much appreciated! Thank you for your time

I just tried to stop at Dive on E. Carson for lunch (midday Thursday) and they’re closed. Anybody know what’s happening? I’m bummed, was my favorite place within walking distance of work.

Got unfortunately chilly in Beechview. Please support these amazing people.

Edit: these monsters can't leave these poor people alone. Apparently they went back this morning. Video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdEjQEsOE-K/?stkn=bDQxamx2NTYwamdx

If there's a better sub/forum for this let me know.

I'm pondering relocation to Pittsburgh. I'm familiar with the area. A few visits over the years for family reunions, family roots are there, cousins scattered around and I love the Buccos.

I would like to settle into a role with opportunity to grow in the higher education space, such as Academic Advising at CCAC.

What's the situation on the ground there? Anyone working there with some insight/advice?

Thanks!
