For the first time since 1988, the (current) American “government” is making like HIV/AIDS wasn’t/isn’t a thing – meaning an ongoing global pandemic – and, per the directive of the twice-impeached orange hemorrhoid, we are not to recognize or commemorate or even mention, if he had his way, World AIDS Day at the federal level.

Just drink water because, without getting into the politics and the impact of choosing otherwise, sodas are, guess what, water with lots of unhealthy bullshit in it.
So we went to the beach in Santa Barbara and afterward, I was shocked by the tar on the sole of my feet and my ruined socks. No one mentioned there’s tar on the beach, and I don’t recall seeing any kind of a warning, but I did clock the fugly oil rigs in the […]
The United States of America isn’t the best country on Earth – stop saying that. It certainly has the most on the planet. There is a difference, and the propaganda that encourages y’all to think it’s the best robs you of the opportunity to consider the whys behind all this misunderstood privilege.
The fact that a convoy of World Central Kitchen workers – a flagless, borderless non-profit with a focused mission to help feed humans in moments of crisis – was stomped out of existence, that peace seeking was snuffed so cavalierly, cannot be ignored.

Sudden colds, then sudden heat. Suddenly the day after tomorrow is here today. And the dogs panted. For the Earth was ours with them to share. Pant, pant. And about our business we all went. Pfoof.
The invasion of Ukraine, what we are witnessing Putin do, and what Republicans are doing stateside, like what Florida Republicans just “accomplished” with the whole “Don’t Say Gay” thing, it’s like, hello: You all see the through line between homegrown American censorship and selective personhood erasures and the Russian brand of warmongering authoritarianism. Right? Let’s […]
