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 […]
150
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 […]
The Onions
So there might be salmonella in the onions (and listeria in some citrus) – so you might wanna check in with your local grocer and/or rid your home of the aforementioned produce, should you have it on hand. Fucking A, the hits they keep on comin’, huh. Last week, while volunteering with the San Francisco-Marin […]
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 […]
How to Save a Life
You can’t. Unless you’re a doctor, you cannot even try to save a life. Not unless first you have saved yours, in whatever way you can or need or want, whathaveya. My friend Milton Giron, whom I met at Trader Joe’s, died last week, on July 30, aged 59. Just like that. I don’t have […]
People Without Children
We are some wisdom, so listen to us. The buck stops with us. All we ever do is try to improve ourselves, so that we can live with ourselves. We are the essence of time. We come and we go, and what we leave behind is who we were and what we learned while 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 […]
San Francisco 7.10.20
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 […]
