America got called out tonight, in the best way possible – and, don’t you know, don’t you know, by America herself. Night 2 of 2020’s most unconventional Democratic National Convention featured an inspired virtual roll call that was so brilliantly executed in these times of COVID-19 TV. People, real everyday Americans, from every state and […]

Lest you forgot, it has been 157 days since 26-year-old E.M.T. Breonna Taylor was shot and killed, in her own home, during some sort of an overreach-y raid out in Louisville, Ky., earlier this year… right before COVID-19 hit. Don’t act like you forgot, especially because no arrests have been made. Where is the justice? […]
Twin Peaks, 6.25.20
El triángulo color rosado fue la insignia designada a los homosexuales en los campos de concentración (cada “tipo” de prisionero fue asignado un color, para degradarlos, deshumanizarlos, y estigmatizarlos). Los triángulos rosados fueron diseñados más grandes que otros, para que resalten más los usuarios, para vulnerabilizarlos y alienarlos aún más. Hoy en día, el triángulo […]

The multi-hyphenate dynamo that is Janelle Monáe was set to headline Antebellum, her first starring vehicle, in the spring – but then came COVID-19. Wah, wah. Monáe was to be seen on the big screen as Veronica Henley, a successful author, who finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality – one that is mortifying, discombobulating, […]
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Some negative Nancies be like…. But I am so here for the Blessed Madonna’s remix of Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” a song off of the Best New Artist Grammy-winning English singer’s COVID-19-proof, after all, sophomore effort, Future Nostalgia, because it is a fire ride. Fiya, I tell ya. 🔥 Featuring Madonna and, skrrt, Missy Elliott, the […]

It has been 150 days (a little more than that for some of us) of self-isolation, of quarantining, of living in a state of emergency – whatever you wanna call it – and of systemic and willfully ignorant failures by governments (and overprivileged peoples), but also of of self-realizations and revolution. Thanks, COVID-19! As of […]
Miami Beach, 12.9.18
I first became aware of Dawoud Bey at the end of 2018, in Miami Beach, when I was out there working on this fun #MiamiArtWeek2018 content. I remember it was a real the-rain-has-passed kinda Sunday afternoon on Indian Beach Park, where the PULSE Miami Beach art fair had set up shop for its 14th edition. […]
Pandemic Peeps: Paul Clemence
Knock, knock. Who’s there? Month 5. Month 5 who? Yeah, y’ know…Month 5 (dude) of the COVID-19 global pandemic and – shudder – of this generalized global shutdown that has ensued and that stubbornly won’t let up unless we all wear our masks, already, and we all make ourselves scarce so that we are not […]
Walk the AIDS Walk, #SanFrancisco!
Top of the morning to ya, folks…world. Here in San Francisco, we are off to our first virtual AIDS Walk: Live at Home at 10:00, with Team Levi’s. What can I tell ya, I’m a Levi’s bitch – but I am not COVID-19’s. #SanFrancisco! Our AIDS Walk has teamed up with AIDS Walk New York on […]
C’mon Now
COVID-19 isn’t a crisis anymore. It is a failure, of our leadership and of our humanity. There it is. And here we are (still), looking like we didn’t know this novel coronavirus was this much of an existential threat (there is no vaccine! it spreads easy and fast! it can kill you or your loved […]
