Do you know? What it feels like for a pedestrian? Do you know what it feels like in this world for a pedestrian, when we are crossing the street, and y’all forget how four-way stops work? You cannot afford to hit this with your car. Relax – you are in a car. You’ll get there. […]

Postcard from November 2012
Edited from “Oh, M…Oh, Miami” x Movie Martin, Nov. 20, 2012, for @fileunderm and 2025 So I know what I’m getting Madonna for the holidays: a watch. Look, I love my Queen like, in ways that cannot be good for me. The woman’s phenomenal. She’s fun. An individual. And a ball-buster who, at 54, still can […]
A New, Same O’ (Ish) Vogue
Chloe Malle, the daughter of the celebrated actress Candice Bergen and filmmaker Louis Malle, has been promoted to take the job – ish – of Vogue departing editrix Anna Wintour effective immediately.

Fuck Facebook
You can delete Facebook. Just like Twitter. It is doable. You will survive. We managed for a long, much more humane time without it, without social media. And don’t you know, don’t you know, you might like, thrive without it. We just might make it anew without it, as a society and as a culture […]

This situation is global and humanity has to be heard and the response of the powerful must reflect the spirit of the moment. No one in their right mind wants more war for profit, […]
For Your Consideration: Peace
Being destructive isn’t brave. Peace may not be as lucrative, but it cannot be ignored – no matter what today’s Academy Awards ceremony might suggest. There is more money in crisis, but we neither have to participate in the persistent lunacy of the game of war nor tolerate its most involved players (after all, it […]
Miami Art Week 2021 Is Nigh
Red Dot marks the Spectrum of art fairs in Miami coming up this 2021 season. I…am not entirely sure about my wordplay up above, but back down here, closer to the truth, yeah, it looks and sounds like the party is back on – not that it ever wasn’t – come Baseltimes next month, Miamis. […]
Steamy, Steamy
Boy, does it get kinda hot – downright balmy…and humid… – after a bomb cyclone. That was a first, mind you. One of the topics of conversation whenever on the phone with someone back home has always been the weather. Smooth and easy, that topic. Like buttah. And I feel like, maybe, that’s a fairly […]
