I’m sitting here, overcome with emotion. Oh, I’m levitating, but I’m also feeling something I don’t often allow myself to feel: tears in my eyes. Out my eyes. Down my face. The groceries are done. Fortune cookies still must be gotten and mailed to my nieces and nephews, alongside well wishes and the spirit of […]

San Francisco, 4.8.21
No one knows you better than a stranger.
San Francisco, 4.1.21
Call me a fool, but I know I’m not: That felt like a proper heat wave the last couple o’ days.
Shot, Shot, Shot
A year and 11 days after we hunkered down for a quick two-week quarantine to ride out the global COVID-19 pandemic, I received the first of my two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. And then, I had pizza and apple pie. I could not be more grateful, a la vida que me ha dado tanto. […]
Common Decency
Why is common decency always missing from the conversation around every other crisis at hand or controversy du jour? For serious, why? Everybody now: Because there is more money in crisis. Most of our issues worldwide nowadays would be solved, if only we simply could apply a little compassion to any of our pressing matters […]
Deleted it late last year. I just couldn’t with the stupidity anymore – its own, that of Donald Trump’s so-called culture (and his moment), my own – and got rid of it.

When and Where
Everything is relative to when and where you are…. And methinks that if, a whole looong year of global COVID-19 pandemic later (which our myriad privileges may have allowed us to feel…or not), if after all o’ that, and then some, more of us aren’t more “we” people than before, then we have not been […]
A Comment Re: London Breed & Gavin Newsom
Get a life, people. It clearly, demonstrably, undeniably is one thing to harp on Donald – yuck…too early – Trump, and it is quite a ridikolous other to sue the governor as a pressure tactic to get restaurants to reopen, when schools ought to be the priority. Newsom, much like San Francisco Mayor London Breed […]
We Have Such a Beautiful Bay
The San Francisco Bay’s not for spilling oil in it; I don’t care it was an accident, Chevron. Why are we still having these type of “accidents,” anyway? Don’t a lot of people get paid lots of money to ensure things like this don’t happen? What’s it gonna take? A Beirut-type of incident? (Take a […]
