The thing about the DaBaby is he said something ignorant. Look it up. DaBaby thought he was being funny/macho/who knows (who cares), when he said what he said on stage at Rolling Loud Miami on July 25, and he wasn’t. And so Madonna took DaBaby to school for it, so what more can I say […]

Juneteenth ❌ MMXXI
So tomorrow’s Juneteenth. Ish. Corporate America is giving millions of American workers Friday off, in observance of June 19 on Saturday. Juneteenth marks the day in 1865, when Texan slaves learned they had been freed, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863. I expect that […]
When and Where
Everything is relative to when and where you are…. And methinks that if, a whole looong year of global COVID-19 pandemic later (which our myriad privileges may have allowed us to feel…or not), if after all o’ that, and then some, more of us aren’t more “we” people than before, then we have not been […]
Peruvian Here, Lemme Tell Ya
Some Peruvians may be fucking around, alright, but most Peruvians are not fucking around, lemme tell ya. (So if you’re coming my way, just don’t. And do not get it twisted.) Early this evening, Peru, my birth country, swore in its third president in a week, a man named Francisco Sagasti. (I don’t know her.) […]
Notre-Dame Caught Fire and…
Notre-Dame de Paris caught fire last year, and you wanna know what my memory of that day is? Urgh, the old coot I used to enjoy helping at the grocery store where I used to work, until that day. Him, his blue hat, and his loud and misguided Made-in-the-USA Islamophobia. Old (Caucacious) Man Chad. A […]

To support the various Peruvian institutions pleading for PPE during this pandemic moment […]

A Playlist ❌ King of Cups. Made in San Francisco for a night in San Francisco, ca. Halloween/11.1.19. Madame X was in town. I hear this and I see a musical. Click on it. I double-dare ya. 🎧⬇️
Postcard from Paris
From Paris, with love! My sister and niece were in Paris last week. They went to the Espace Lafayette-Drouot to get into and enjoy the “The World of Banksy: The Immersive Experience” that was recently extended until the end of June. My sister said it was pretty “génial.” Get. I’ll wait. Not that long. The […]

The Denim Diaries 1
The girl was 5. She adorably demanded, “What are you reading?” He was happy to see his happy neighbor, so he smiled big at her curiosity and so, he said, “A book about an apartment. On further thought…. “A book about an apartment in Paris.” “Why⁉️” she asked without missing a beat. (Bet it sounded in […]
