Kajillionaire. That’s the title of the new Miranda July film that, like so others, was coming into 2020 hot from last January’s Sundance Film Festival. Things have changed. My, how have they. Anyway. The film, which was much-sought-after and boasts Oscar-winning producers Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner (12 Years a Slave, Moonlight) among its champions, […]

People Without Children
We are some wisdom, so listen to us. The buck stops with us. All we ever do is try to improve ourselves, so that we can live with ourselves. We are the essence of time. We come and we go, and what we leave behind is who we were and what we learned while on […]

C’mon Now
COVID-19 isn’t a crisis anymore. It is a failure, of our leadership and of our humanity. There it is. And here we are (still), looking like we didn’t know this novel coronavirus was this much of an existential threat (there is no vaccine! it spreads easy and fast! it can kill you or your loved […]
San Francisco 7.10.20
To echo what Zac Efron says on the Lima, Peru, ep of Down to Earth with Zac Efron, the muliti-hyphenate’s new Netflix travelogue, the Earth is burning. We know this, we’ve known this. We have seen it, felt it, smelled it. (R.I.P. Lewis). From beneath you it devours, after all. Previously on the pandemic, China’s […]
Last Night Postcard
No matter what fresh bullshit 2020 had to serve, still’s got to serve, Pride 2020 could not, would not be cancelled. In fact, it shone brighter than ever in San Francisco. We were Illuminated. A part of something rather than apart of it. To l’amour!
The Thing About America…in 2020
Celebrating freedom without understanding sacrifice, or solidarity, cannot be what the 4th of July is all about – not anymore. I mean, really, Bay Area? More than 20 fires last night, all because you could not simply chill. That is some willful, stubborn ignorance…. Will some of y’all ever learn?
Pandemic Peeps: E
Time for a little math. Previously on the pandemic, we were more than a quarter of the year into a global shutdown brought on by the relentless COVID-19 novel coronavirus that’s become one of the banes of our 2020 existence. Now, less than two weeks from the start of Month 4 of our ongoing season […]
The Schkarenfreude Is
You have to admit, the schkarenfreude – you can do it…just put your lips together and go: the sch-karen-freude – is hilarious. It could all be so simple, but y’all rather make it so gosh darn hard. You get what you give, America, so come correct or you will leave unbalanced, because it is comeuppance […]
From a Pal of the Pink Triangle
Later tonight, San Francisco’s Pink Triangle is gonna shine. Pink Triangle Silver Jubilee Trivia Alert! For the first time in its 25-year history, and on account of the many restrictions and cancellations brought on by the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, and in true the-show-must-go fashion, the annual tradition has gotten a special makeover and its […]
