Pandemic or no pandemic, the culture’s gonna do what the culture’s gonna do – good, bad, and fugly. That much is true. But where is the cultural responsibility in America in 2020? Where is the collective that is humanity on Earth at this point in time? Winter was, spring is barely gonna be. Urgh, and, some people, […]
I’m so not sorry, but some of us have been jumping at the bit to honor this planet for a while now, OK. One way or another, in our own ways, we learned something, we paid attention to the people who were doing something – speaking up – about it, and we took stock. We […]
Meanwhile, in the world, all of our lives have changed. Including Eliza Hittman’s. The writer-director of Beach Rats was coming spring H-O-T-hot with Never Rarely Sometimes Always, an eagerly anticipated eye-opener of a film that was celebrated with a Dramatic Special Jury Prize at January’s Sundance Film Festival – on account of its cinematic neorealism and deftly handled […]
Y mueve la cabeza también. Mueva la cabeza, especialmente en estas épocas de pandemia, o se pone tiesa. Y no te hagas mala sangre cuando veas que hay gente en la calle corriendo o caminando con el perro porque realmente no vale la pena; no los conoces y no sabes cuál será su historia.

It’s the end of the world as we know it or, at least, it kinda feels like it, sometimes, during this season of self-isolation, during this pandemic moment. So, since we are having to stay in, let’s also go in within ourselves, and let’s keep on doing the 🎧➡️social-distancing thing right, to the Pitbull-d tune […]
The rest will follow. So I went out last night. Well, first, I met legendary San Francisco drag queen Heklina during the day and then, later, I went out. For real. But not really. Last summer we went on holiday, to Canada, and for my yesterday, my mind, well…it can take me anywhere in the […]

COVID-19, didn’t simply improve on its known predecessors to adapt to a more hostile environment. I mean, we got melting poles…a […]
Well, I e-met her. On the Internet. Because we’re in a pandemic, and we’ve been staying home for a while, alright. Because life as we knew it may be no mo’, OK. Something has ended and yet, something’s begun. Entire world capitals, including San Francisco, are grinding to a halt as more and more communities […]
Levi’s is going live at 5:01, California time, this afternoon. The San Francisco-based company is launching 5:01 Live today, in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. I’m not at liberty to say who’s lined up to perform this week, but when you see them, you just might drop it like it’s hot with excitement. You might call […]
