I listen to The goop Podcast, when I need to nurture my feminine side. Whoomp, there it is. And I gotta say, the recent conversation between Gwyneth Paltrow and Gabrielle Union was such a “J’ai eu un flash” moment. Union spoke to so much to which I could relate. And it helped, simply listening to […]

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 […]
Misinformation
Misinformation is out there – and she’s being such a bitch. I let it go yesterday evening, when we overheard a grown young man mansplain to a trio of grown young women outside a downtown bar in Walnut Creek that, “the CDC is a business. The CDC is a business!” It’s like, yeah, motherfucker, this […]
San Jose, 7.10.21
How lucky am I, to have seen mixed-media work by Ebony G. Patterson on two coasts now. Had a couple of friends in town this month, so we took a hot drive down to San Jose – ’cause we know the way. It beckoned, don’t you know, don’t you know, to the Institute of Contemporary […]
The Cold Hard Truth
It is staying warmer longer at night these dog days, and that is not a good thing. Not fun at all. No. Mmm…slower coolingsdown. If only we’d been warned, educated, and/or informed…. I remember in school, when teachers would explain the seasons to us kids, and describe how during summer, the days feel longer, the […]
Hot 🥵 Summer
If you are a global-warming denier or know someone who hasn’t been believin’ in climate change (and somehow getting in the way of any sort of sensical large-scale worldwide preparation), please, fuck off and remember and/or know that last year, in 2020, Death Valley National Park didn’t register a 130-degree temperature until the middle of […]
Polk Street, 6.27.21
And don’t you forget it: Pride was a riot. Last year, COVID-19 could not cancel Pride, and the celebration went virtual, was illuminated – it carried on. Closer to the streets, the people got back to basics. Some of us called upon the spirit of Pride and the result, at least here in San Francisco, […]
Traveler Check
There we were summer of 2018, roaming the cloisters of the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, Portugal, when news broke that Anthony Bourdain had died. I found solace, reading word of his suicide on my phone, in that we were doing exactly what he had spent the latter part of his life advocating we all do, […]
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 […]
