To echo what Zac Efron says on the Lima, Peru, ep of Down to Earth with Zac Efron, the muliti-hyphenate’s new Netflix travelogue, the Earth is burning. We know this, we’ve known this. We have seen it, felt it, smelled it. (R.I.P. Lewis). From beneath you it devours, after all. Previously on the pandemic, China’s […]

Pandemic Peeps: E
Time for a little math. Previously on the pandemic, we were more than a quarter of the year into a global shutdown brought on by the relentless COVID-19 novel coronavirus that’s become one of the banes of our 2020 existence. Now, less than two weeks from the start of Month 4 of our ongoing season […]
And for the Pandemic Record
If we all had gotten our heads out of our collective overprivileged asses months ago, we might, just might be well on our to have widely managed this COVID-19 global-pandemic crisis in a much more efficient kind of way. A life-saving kind of way. Will we ever learn?
I Mean, If They Could Do It
I mean if these friendly Castro men could wear their masks to walk around their neighborhood in solidarity with their community during this pandemic, so can y’all. Make it fashun, lie to yourself (you know, like everyone else has had to for centuries about other more pressing matters), and tell yourself it’s all a fun […]
You Try to Be Nice…
It was before 8 this morning, when I hit Broadway on Taylor, when I clocked it, even through my bandana mask. The stench of caucacity was oh-so-strong, and yet I led with, “Good morning.

Día 93: La pandemia del COVID-19 que nos tiene en casa por acá, por allá, partout desde marzo – con más y más incertidumbre en unos que en otros lugares – nos está retando. De una u otra manera, claro que sí. Crucemos los dedos porque las cosas se mejoren en Peru y en Brasil, […]
Challenges Ahead

We are going to have to lean […]
Pandemic Peeps-Día 86: Roxana Villanueva de Haro
Día 86: La pandemia del COVID-19 que nos tiene en casa por acá, por allá, partout desde marzo – con más y más incertidumbre en unos que en otros lugares – nos está retando. De una u otra manera, claro que sí. En Estados Unidos, los efectos y estragos del pecado original americano – 400 […]
Pandemic Peeps: Massimo Giusti
As the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by a novel and deadly coronavirus that spread out of China during the winter months, has us looking at Month 4 of a generalized global shutdown, a situation that recently showed signs of potential improvement but has now been compounded by America’s racism, I thought I’d check in on some […]
How Dare You
A week ago today, a clearly deranged Minneapolis police officer killed 46-year-old George Floyd, an unarmed, handcuffed black man born in Fayetteville, N.C., who was already pinned down to the ground – in broad daylight, while knowingly being recorded by witnesses on the street. The cop had and kept his knee on the back of […]
