Oh joy. Today, five days to the day that’ll mark eight months in self-isolation on account of the COVID-19 global pandemic, elderly patients in the U.K., including a man named William Shakespeare (GTS), received the first doses of a vaccine for the novel coronavirus that has infected more than 68 million earthlings and claimed more […]

And Not a Moment Too Soon
Rain. Thanks for the wash, Gaia. See? You can always count on la Pachamama to come through. To check us. To cleanse us. Now we have a better chance to return the favor and nurture our cute little Earth back to health, and ourselves, too, with better habits and without, well…you know. Not everyone is […]
GratitudeFest
No matter what happens now, we gotta have grace. We have to be grateful that we made it this far. That we are here. That we are healthy. That we are surrounded by beauty and good people, even (especially when it feels and seems that it’s nothing but fugly ass folk all around every day, […]
San Francisco, 6.1.20: The Pursuit of Happiness
Lunch before editing. Look here, it’s June 1, 2020. We know what needs to change – the entire world sees it. Here, there, everywhere. This system that discriminates, rapes and pillages, sickens, and shortchanges our brothers and sisters, you, me, it’s got to get an upgrade. Today. It doesn’t work. Hasn’t worked, except for those […]
The Thing About a Vaccine
It has been a little more than eight months since COVID-19 insinuated itself into our lives, upending our local and global routines, and forcing (most of) us to take a real good look at ourselves and the culture and the world, and really consider our place on our planet. It has been an extended come-to-Jesus […]
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 […]
Loving Us Was Red
Earth is showing us her true colors today. Just in time for the 2020 season. Waking up to this red day this morning was something. Today is something. It’s som’in’ new. It – a combination of that good ol’ Bay Area fog and trapped smoke, from the wildfires that have been burning this month out […]
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 […]
L.A., 11.16.19
The writing is on the wall. It has been on the wall. And everybody knows the damn truth: We can and we need to get it together and do better. Earth is not our bitch.
Don’t Be a Daniel
Fucking people…tossing their trash wherever they want, for all to see, for someone else to pick up. It’s stopped cups like this one 👆🏽, and this one, and that one. It’s those nasty cigarette butts. It’s all that damn plastic. It’s all the shit that we leave behind, when we go to the park or […]
