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 […]
A Comment Re: Julián Castro
What I like about [Julián Castro] is that he is offering all of us a voice and a perspective, a cultural point of view, that has been missing in the conversation and in representation, at this level and down the line. I find him to be unapologetically himself, and that means some of us in […]
The T Word
Six Seven more of our transgender family and friends have been murdered in this country since I 🎧➡️ asserted my Pride a few weeks ago in June, when I first wrote about Dana Martin, 31; Jazzaline Ware, age N/A; Ashanti Carmon, 27; Claire Legato, 21; Muhlaysia Booker, 23; Michelle “Tamika” Washington, 40; Paris Cameron, 20; […]
Sea Ranch Postcard
There is a more humane way to be a human on this planet. One 🌎, one ❤️. Also, it may have come out last summer, but because I have cool friends who nudge me toward fun, fresh music, and it’s a climb, and life is a circle, all I’m sayin’ is Teyana Taylor’s “WTP” was […]
The Melting Pot
What the fucking fuck happened, anyway? We were supposed to be in the kitchens, exchanging recipes…in the schools, sharing stories and perspectives…in parks, inviting one another to play fun new games. Instead, we have spent the better part of the last decade on social media, stirring the pot. Stirring shit. Think about that for a […]
