For the first time since 1988, the (current) American “government” is making like HIV/AIDS wasn’t/isn’t a thing – meaning an ongoing global pandemic – and, per the directive of the twice-impeached orange hemorrhoid, we are not to recognize or commemorate or even mention, if he had his way, World AIDS Day at the federal level.

What It Feels Like for a Pedestrian
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 […]
Excuse You
There were whole-ass empires south of the border once. Read a book. Read several books.
Amen
A comportarse, Peru! El Papa León XIV ha entrado con fuerza, guiando los ojos de la Tierra hacia el ombligo del mundo, nuestro querido país. (Chiclayo in the house!) Pero Santa María, Madre de Dios.

They’re in town to vaccinate 11-year-old Junior with his first shot. The father is a cardiologist. Great at hearts, but English is […]
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 […]
The Time to Modulate Is Right Now
Inform yourself, calibrate yourself. Modulate. Cut back on your meat consumption, because it works. Like, it won’t save the planet – Earth doesn’t need our “saving,” for its plan we cannot even fathom – but cutting back on meat is one of the healthiest choices we can make at this point in the game, for […]
We with It
I have been saying – and writing…for the record – that the shit’s like The Day After Tomorrow for a minute now. In print, at least three years, since I became King. Of Cups. Now that we are paying attention, know that the media are gonna go beyond with the coverage, making it seem like […]
