That Badass Female Energy (B. F. E. – get it?) was in the air this year. We saw a handful of powerhouse artists do their thing this summer (you know the Playlist), and then we saw Madonna. It rained on us the night in May we saw Florence + the Machine. A lot. Traffic was a […]
Oh the things you do when you go out to walk your dog…. The happy things you do when you’re out with your dog. There is an elderly man I met down on Polk Street near Pacific late last month, right before Thanksgiving. I’d spotted him a couple of streets earlier and noticed that his […]
Alexandra from somewhere down the peninsula and her fiercely devoted dog Skyler slept out in the cold next to Elm Street last night, San Francisco. She’s been unhoused for about a year now and, by her own admission, she does need and she wants to get her shit together. She’s trying to get off the […]
We hardly ever talk about U.S. American relations vis-à-vis the rest of the American continent. I’m from Peru; here going on 20 years. Came for college; stayed for the freedom and the family I found here. Here, where I enjoy certain (shared…for now?) privileges that are still out reach for many in South America, Peru […]
Just because a thief wasn’t caught that doesn’t mean they never stole. Just because a traitor says he isn’t one that doesn’t mean he didn’t sell out his country. Wake up, people. Donald Trump dodged the draft back in his day and today, he and his lawyers believe he can get away with murder. He pals […]
If you see something, San Francisco, then, by all means, fucking say or do something. Earlier this evening, a man was picked up by a team of first responders from right outside a Van Ness Avenue cell-phone store, to be taken to the hospital, probably to die, possibly to live. I hope he lives. I […]
On this World AIDS Day, let’s remember the many lives lost to this pandemic, for sure, and let’s celebrate and encourage survivors as we all recommit ourselves to educate the next generations, and let’s def continue to demand more enlightened and equitable support for HIV/AIDS patients around the planet. Fuck yeah, let us do all o’ […]
Você me põe tão louco, San Francisco. Alright. I have learned that the best way to get out of an aggro moment? Think of a happier one. Stay there as long as you need. Extra! Extra! Read all about it at Madonnalicious, the U.K.’s No. 1 website about all things Madonna (online since 2001). It […]
We are going to run out of time and out of life before we run out of matches. Science – the factual chance based on two millennia of experience that we as humans have to try to understand the mysteries of Earth – posits that we (still?) can help reverse our greedy/grubby effect on our […]
Oh she went against traffic on Ivy to park her luxury SUV after yoga, because she lives right there, you guys. Right there. Or her friend does, and he let’s her use his spot. I. Don’t. Care. It’s like, bitch, that – your caucaciousness – is why we are in this state, because you exercise […]
