As some of us begin to see our communities re-re-re-open this COVID-19 season, let us remember that one person’s moment of quote-unquote freedom almost 11 months into our ongoing global pandemic is barely another’s second-wave cuarentena. Four hundred forty-two thousand Americans have died from this ever-evolving pest, OK, of course to say nothing of the […]

The Wind That’s Beginning to Howl
There is a storm ahead, alright. Still. I cannot be sure if last night’s wind spectacular was a normal event that we’d previously simply missed out on witnessing and experiencing – what…a roar – because we lived a little farther south and downhill from our current perch in San Francisco, but that was quite a […]
Habemus Vaccine
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 […]
