Isn’t it high time that this neighborhood that lives so on the edge of renewed vibrancy get a make-over and a new name that’s not predicated on once-upon-a-time stories about police corruption? OMGwyneth, have I tried. I remember it all too well. We were in one of dem double-decker tour buses that traverse the town […]
Working on it. Meantime, while we all are united at last, most, if not all of us on Earth, in this COVID-19 moment, singin’ “Happy Birthday” to ourselves, twice, as we thoroughly wash our hands, let us do remember to turn off the water while we work on cleaning our hands, dreaming about cake we […]
Well ain’t this a kick in the ol’ pants, this virus that ups with the greatest of ease (thank you, global economy!) and goes all over Earth, killing earthlings from here, and there, anywhere, and almost everywhere without discrimination. COVID-19 goes to show ya and remind you that #weareallthesame on the face of the planet. […]
Listen to your elders, kids. They’ve been around the block rather quite a few more times. And they have all the stories. I met a wise woman named M.J. last week, at the second meeting of the recently assembled San Francisco Street-Level Drug-Dealing Task Force. Look into that, too, OK.

Now, they’re gonna show us how they do docs. FX is set to premiere AKA Jane Roe, its first documentary feature, […]
Oh the people you see when you go out to walk your dog…. The hope you find when you’re out with your dog. Ryan and Brisa are alive, still around, and doing alright today. I saw them at Jefferson Square, in the shade of a big tree. The sun is shining, and the temperature is rising for […]
Now vote. You make sure you vote now. Democracy is very much at stake (still…in America, in 2020 – I know…crazy, right?), so everything is at stake. Turn it out, kids, and strengthen the shit up. Twitter better be abuzz with voting stories today. Vote. If the count you they cannot deny you. Mi gente, […]
The thing about Pete Davidson is his new Netflix special, Alive from New York, made me wish the streamer’s rating system would include an “It’s OK” button.
