“Why are we still listening to the president?” And just like that, with that succinct shutdown that doubled as call to think global but act local, Madam Mayor London Breed won yesterday’s effort by any elected official anywhere, IMHO, to drive the City of San Francisco inside and lead us and our communities across the […]
The rest will follow. So I went out last night. Well, first, I met legendary San Francisco drag queen Heklina during the day and then, later, I went out. For real. But not really. Last summer we went on holiday, to Canada, and for my yesterday, my mind, well…it can take me anywhere in the […]
Well, I e-met her. On the Internet. Because we’re in a pandemic, and we’ve been staying home for a while, alright. Because life as we knew it may be no mo’, OK. Something has ended and yet, something’s begun. Entire world capitals, including San Francisco, are grinding to a halt as more and more communities […]
Levi’s is going live at 5:01, California time, this afternoon. The San Francisco-based company is launching 5:01 Live today, in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. I’m not at liberty to say who’s lined up to perform this week, but when you see them, you just might drop it like it’s hot with excitement. You might call […]

Listening to the former vice president and to the senator yak about immigration, and how we immigrants should be able to find an available pathway for immigration into and, I should presume, toward citizenship in the United States of America, it’s like, what do they know. Like, really: What do Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders […]
I’m not a doctor, and I don’t play one on TV, but I am going to recommend that y’all find yourselves a neighborhood Peruvian store. Stat. And restaurant, too. Double-stat. (@qusqobistro in #LosAngeles, #ChalánontheBeach in #MiamiBeach, and @limonrotisserie here in town. Provecho.) You’re only as healthy as your diet and your traditions, and that’s the […]
At the global onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wuhan, China, went into self-isolation, into quarantine, as did the rest of the area, and the infamous pollution that usually blankets the vast Chinese land began to dissipate. Roughly two weeks later, the rain we expected and awaited all winter around the Bay Area finally has begun […]
Not a pandemonium. This season of the COVID-19 pandemic, please, remember the Golden Rule.
