I was reminded this week that the same sun and the same moon rise and set equally for all of us. Your privilege is your vantage point, but that moves as you move. We don’t all have to like one another, but we do all have to respect one another and the space each of […]

The Cuarón Collective
When I was very young (OK…younger), I traveled a bit between Lima, my hometown in Peru, and Miami, the tropical gateway to everything USA for someone like me. It was during one of those early trips that I picked up an issue of Teen People in which the Donna Karan fashions Gwyneth Paltrow wore in […]

It’s fall. Keep at it: WTP.
Our Time Is Right Now
When did “millennial” become such a bad word, anyway? I mean, who paid who off to be able to marginalize millennials the way we have been in the United States of America and all over Earth – the condescension really is global – the last two decades, a.k.a. the first 20 years of this new […]
San Francisco
Welcome me home again. I moved to San Francisco five years ago this weekend. Ever the immigrant, in from Peru by way of 13 years in Miami. And, to quote myself quoting DB Boulevard, this is where I have been considering things from another point of view, indeed. My own. You’re welcome.
The Thing About Nancy Pelosi
The thing about Nancy Pelosi is I imagine she spent the summer in a trance, listening to Madonna’s “Dark Ballet” over and over, the storm inside of her, the wind beginning to howl out of Sea Cliff, people. Out of Sea Cliff. I mean, you know, right? “They are so naive / They think we are not […]
A Crisis by Any Other Name
Earlier tonight, during the opening of its 10-minute digest option for the evening, I heard Reuters refer to the health alert and controversy surrounding vaping as a “crisis.” WTF? Gun violence and mass murders by gun-toting lone wolves, that is the crisis. If only. If only we could get a grip and call a spade […]
The Who, the Whats
Who you are is more important than all the whats that you can be. I think that, if we tried to look at the world keeping that top of mind right now, then, perhaps, we might do better.
San Francisco Civic Center 9.16.19
Today was A Day Without Immigrants in San Francisco. Now, I am not 100 percent sure that it was, indeed, a day without immigrants ’round these parts because most immigrants have to work in this expensive city and all around the Bay Area. At the very least, I am certain that it was a day […]
The M Live Collective
Madame X is coming soon. Madonna is due to kick off her 11th concert tour, an all-theatre trek, next week, on Sept. 17 in New York City, before hitting Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles (LA❌!), Boston, Philadelphia, Miami Beach, pausing for the holidays, then resuming in the new year in Lisbon, before taking residency in […]
