America, you we need to calm down and get a hold of this COVID-19 pandemic, already. This isn’t the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, and we all know it. Like, for real: WTF. It’s the middle of November, is it not, and we have been at this since spring. C’mon now. Door to door since the last […]

And Not a Moment Too Soon
Rain. Thanks for the wash, Gaia. See? You can always count on la Pachamama to come through. To check us. To cleanse us. Now we have a better chance to return the favor and nurture our cute little Earth back to health, and ourselves, too, with better habits and without, well…you know. Not everyone is […]
Alrighty Then
Well that was empowering. It was not my (official) duty (quite just yet), but it was my privilege: I just got back from working the poll for your ass, America. You better didn’t fuck it up. Alrighty then, you know what: Saging works. Setting an intention works. Calling upon patience works. What a fun day […]
Capri x King of Cups: The Playlist
#Iclosemyeyes…and I see Capri, indeed (these are the days for a little escape, after all). I can hear and see fireworks over Moschino (perhaps a celebration is nigh closer to the here and now, and the coming week). I can feel the island breeze. I put a few records. And I am there, lost in […]
Pandemic Peeps: Liz Newman
And on the seventh month…we couldn’t rest easy, because the COVID-19 pandemic’s still going on – but, I think, we have managed to carry on, now, haven’t we. I mean, yeah, everywhere around the world there is some sort of conflict as I type, but the planet’s filled with people who simply shine. That’s my […]
Il Fait Chaud
I don’t know what to tell ya: It is hot in the Bay Area. For serious, I think I’ve lost count, but I’m gonna say this that we felt this week was our sixth heat wave in two months. Get me a fan. Hey you. Time to wake up.
San Francisco, 6.1.20: The Pursuit of Happiness
Lunch before editing. Look here, it’s June 1, 2020. We know what needs to change – the entire world sees it. Here, there, everywhere. This system that discriminates, rapes and pillages, sickens, and shortchanges our brothers and sisters, you, me, it’s got to get an upgrade. Today. It doesn’t work. Hasn’t worked, except for those […]
The Thing About a Vaccine
It has been a little more than eight months since COVID-19 insinuated itself into our lives, upending our local and global routines, and forcing (most of) us to take a real good look at ourselves and the culture and the world, and really consider our place on our planet. It has been an extended come-to-Jesus […]
Life Is a Memory
Dudes. I was last week years old, when I saw this performance of “Gambler,” from “The Virgin Tour,” by Madonna for the very first time. No. Joke. Like she does during “Nobody Knows Me,” from the “Re-Invention Tour,” this is some energetic shit. Madonna dominates her dance floor stage left; much like during the glorious […]
My Two Green Cents
The next election ought to be debated and decided on the environment alone. If it were up to Donald “the Impeached” Trump and his regime (and, fuck, it kinda is…for the moment, anyway – vote), California and the rest of the West Coast might as well burn. Better that way, to repave Paradise and put […]
