Not to tell the guy who rode up a rocket dick to outer space (because he could) and came in second in the Great White Male Billionaire Space Race of 2021 (hurry up and catch up, Elon!), world hunger (and taxes) be damned, what to do, but…: Why not pay a bunch of good ol’ […]

This Is the Last Time
This is the last time I beat myself up. The last time I knew a group of people, it fizzled because time ran out (the time before because I ran out…ish – another story, another time…or not). So I went away to reset unto an unknown time. People wondered where and how I’d be. I […]
MMXXIami: The Playlist
Just the other day I was out in MMXXIami, having a daydream of Hollywood – of Hollywood, Fla. Of a chill place I’m calling Hollyweed. I saw green. I thought of hemp, hospitality, and mixology. Of possibility. Then, I woke up the boss of my reality and kept hoping. I just kept hoping. If Madonna […]
The Thing About ‘The Happening’
The thing about the happening, meaning COVID-19, our very own IRL happening, is it happened (it’s been happening). And shortly thereafter, America pulled out of Afghanistan. Good thing, for now we can call upon and welcome our military home, and task them with helping us to strengthen our communities rather than fortifying our fronteras. Up […]
Dammit, Texas
Men of Texas…American men in “power” (and on the streets, where true American power lives): Quit going after and/or letting other men mess with my sisters’ and nieces’ hard-earned rights. The American female community is not to be raped and pillaged. Grab something else. Y eso va para los compañeros también: Dejen de abusar a […]
Off Course
Armageddon x Melancholia much? Well, whaddya know, disaster-movie director Roland (The Day After Tomorrow, 2012) Emmerich is at it again – coming up with “fun,” new ways to destroy our planet up on that big silver screen, that is – with his upcoming latest, Moonfall, starring Academy Award winner Halle Berry. Set at this oh-so-most-pandemical […]
Of goop and Me(n)
I listen to The goop Podcast, when I need to nurture my feminine side. Whoomp, there it is. And I gotta say, the recent conversation between Gwyneth Paltrow and Gabrielle Union was such a “J’ai eu un flash” moment. Union spoke to so much to which I could relate. And it helped, simply listening to […]
Time Goes By So Slowly for Those Who Bond
At last, he comes. Bond. James Bond, that is. Indeed, Daniel Craig’s reported final go as 007, No Time to Die, is finally coming out, in spite of the COVID of it all, in theaters (and only in theaters), on Oct. 8. Directed by Emmy winner Cary Joji Fukunaga (HBO’s True Detective), the long-awaited 25th […]
A Postcard of the Red Tide
What a lovely white-sand beach Indian Rocks Beach near Tampa, Fla., is. Sunrise to sunset, so lovely, indeed, this Gulf beach. How striking, too, to wade in its waters early one morn’, and feel nothing but warmth. A sticky, warm water, this Gulf water. Oh, but what’s that? A baby shark! (Doo doo doo doo […]
MMXXIami
Miami, Miami. It struck me, Miami, this last time we visited. The cycle and the churn of the Magic City. And how a small seed can become something big out there. The amount of “Yes” I saw. It has gotten so international. It now feels like a global duty free. And the humidity is the […]
