Madonna is in town. Anyone who knows me like, knows. They know the frenzy. The impulse of tagging along and going out for – of organizing – dinner at The Setai in Miami Beach because she might come down for dinner. Someone needs to confess: Was she even staying there that time? Who knows. Who […]

He/She/They Ought to Get a Clue
Why, oh why is it that difficult for non-millennials some people to get with the pronouns program, already? Nineteen years ago, I came to the United States of America to study journalism in South Florida, right. That’s almost 20 years ago, OK, and one of the first lessons my professors taught me at Miami–Dade Community […]
Y Se Llama…
Sera Halloween, pero tambien es el Día de la Canción Criolla. Y ultimamente la sirena peruana tambien me ha estado cantando. Acompañando. Desde Peru.
Welcome
Welcome to the Cultural Revolution. What did we expect after the Digital Revolution? Peace and love? Equality? Equanimity? Gimme a fuckin’ break. Now is the time to speak up, so, if you don’t like hearin’ it, get used to it and get used to it quick. My voice, your voice, their voice – they’re all […]

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 […]
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 […]
