“U.S.A.” “U.S.A.” U…S…Oy. We are 40 days and 40 nights out from Election Day on Nov. 3, and the one and only (thank goodness) Donald “the Impeached” Trump is still unabashedly signaling and unequivocally on the record saying he does not anticipate a peaceful transfer of power, when he loses the election (again), because basically, […]

Confidence
Well I must be doing something right. Tonight, a white man (a neighbor’s friend, whom I’d met only this evening) told me, a brown man, that I was or had grown too confident in my position, as like, a witness to the American moment at hand, I should imagine (after all, we were talking…not politics […]
Llegó el Otoño
Fall is here. Ya llegó el otoño – o la primavera, dependiendo de dónde estén. Tengan cuidado; el COVID-19 sigue por todos lados. 🙌🏽😷👍🏽 Creo que lo de las máscaras ya se calmó un poco (más vale prevenir que lamentar, after all), porque people were not getting the message that masks are like the easiest, […]
You In, Right?
Right? It’s National Voter Registration Day, people. Alright, look alive, people – c’mon. Get! (We’ve had this discussion.) Register to vote. And Happy Birthday, kids! Oh, kids. I’m sure this time is totally not what you expected it was gonna be, but such is life. This is such a moment, though…history in the making. Be […]
‘Omg RBG’
Ding! A text from the East Coast. What a most modern way to learn, know, and understand that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Notorious RBG, champion of women’s rights and equality, has passed away at age 87. Did American democracy die this evening, too? Moscow Mitch is already at it. As I live […]
A Human Experience Collective
Watching movies at home, to pass the time and learn more, something new…something we didn’t know, about the human experience, that is how we managed some of our season of self-isolation this most revelatory of years. I know you know. This summer’s been a moment – and it ain’t done yet. This…is 2020, and 2020 […]
San Francisco, 11.17.19
We should all be farmers. We should all be farming. By which I mean we should all know how to work our land, how to nurture it during the short while we are with it on it, how to take from it without leaving it barren for whomever is coming next. Instead, we are warring. […]
Never Forget
Never forget that we are here right now. The past is in the past – it cannot happen to us again. Never forget to move forward.
Loving Us Was Red
Earth is showing us her true colors today. Just in time for the 2020 season. Waking up to this red this morning was something. Today is something. It’s something new. It – a combination of that good ol’ Bay Area fog and like, trapped smoke, from the wildfires that have been burning this month out […]
The Thing About ‘Friends’
The thing about Friends is the show said what it needed to say at the time it said it. It was clumsy; it was downright awful, sometimes (you know, how they said whatever they said, especially in later seasons); and it was, for the most part, fun. I first watched the show, fondly, in Peru, […]
