The Time to Modulate Is Right Now

Inform yourself, calibrate yourself. Modulate. Cut back on your meat consumption, because it works. Like, it won’t save the planet – Earth doesn’t need our “saving,” for its plan we cannot even fathom – but cutting back on meat is one of the healthiest choices we can make at this point in the game, for […]

Dear Caitlyn Jenner (et al.)

So you wanna be governor of California?  Why? And your taxes, please. We are all well aware here in America that the rich and the big corporations, and, of course, the common con, possibly, more than likely do not pay their fair share o’ taxes. And guess what, California, and thus Ms. Jenner and her […]

A Voice Undeniable

History in the making is so much better than history repeating. Meet Lucia Lucas, a American transgender woman – Sacramento in the house! – and an international opera star, who became the first trans person ever to perform a principal role on an operatic stage in the United States of America, when she sang and […]

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 […]

Peruvian Here, Lemme Tell Ya

Some Peruvians may be fucking around, alright, but most Peruvians are not fucking around, lemme tell ya. (So if you’re coming my way, just don’t. And do not get it twisted.) Early this evening, Peru, my birth country, swore in its third president in a week, a man named Francisco Sagasti. (I don’t know her.) […]

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 […]

Totes Original

Artists trying to make it helping others artists trying to make it – that’s what this is all about, OK. Look, all I ever wanted to do was to come to this country and write (and I did and I did…and I am). I never wanted to do anything else. Now, the only thing more […]

We Must Adapt

For the past month, we have had some weather up here in Northern California. The smoke plus the fog in the Bay Area has been a realness. It is not pleasant. I am beyond-grateful to be safely sheltered with my family, and to want for almost nothing. I understand Cal Fire has dubbed the Northern […]

This Is Them

This is them. This is their time. And the kids are driving us back to the theater experience, too. Fresh off a pre-, during, and post-COVID-19 award-winning trek up the 2020 film-festival circuit, the documentary Us Kids is ready for ya. Catch it at the drive-in, when it visits your city for a very special […]

Congratulations: The Time Is Right Now

So many people – tens of thousands – have been displaced by the fires that have been raging in the Northern Bay Area this week. Hundreds of thousands, in fact. People are losing their homes. People have died. And fire season just started (start doing your rain dance, please). The day after tomorrow is today. […]
