The Thing About ‘Grey’s Anatomy’
You guys! Seventeen tumultuous, romantic, and engaging seasons in and Shonda Rhimes’ enduring network-TV hit, Grey’s Anatomy, still’s got it going on. Y’all watched last week’s two-hour COVID-centric season premiere, right? I mean! Not gonna front, I was all giddy and choke-up from the big surprise, ’cause not only had the powers that be pulled […]
Peruvian Here, Lemme Tell Ya
Some Peruvians may be fucking around, alright, but most Peruvians are not fucking around, lemme tell ya. (So if you’re coming my way, just don’t. And do not get it twisted.)

A New Democracy
Oh am I glad you did, America. A new, stronger democracy for my birthday. Such a mensch. We can turn this world around. Let’s get work.
Alrighty Then
Well that was empowering. It was not my (official) duty (quite just yet), but it was my privilege: I just got back from working the poll for your ass, America. You better didn’t fuck it up. Alrighty then, you know what: Saging works. Setting an intention works. Calling upon patience works. What a fun day […]
GratitudeFest
No matter what happens now, we gotta have grace. We have to be grateful that we made it this far. That we are here. That we are healthy. That we are surrounded by beauty and good people, even (especially when it feels and seems that it’s nothing but fugly ass folk all around every day, […]

Nine million Americans in less than nine months, reportedly on account of the asymptomatic among us. (Just wear a damn […]
The Gay Holidays Are Nigh
Just in time for my birthday. You have heard about Happiest Season, right – the upcoming hulu original lesbian holiday film premiering on Nov. 25. Well, its soundtrack is dropping a week from today, on Nov. 6, three days after Election 2020, ready to usher in a new era, alright. Fingers crossed, anyway. The Facet Records/Warner […]
