Half us at home got scheduled for today for a COVID-19 vaccine, so today my beloved got his Johnson & Johnson shot. (I’m a Pfizer bitch.) Someway, somehow he was offered an early evening appointment at Oakland Coliseum, so we hit the road for a joyride. And what a joy it was…. To see, so […]

Pandemic Peeps-Día 417: Isabel Kenner
Día 417: Después de más de un año de pandemia, por fin tenemos vacunas contra el COVID-19. Lo que no tenemos es un plan global para repartirlas efectivamente y equitativamente. Qué se hace, no? A seguirla nomas…con buen humor y buena voluntad. Un efecto imprevisto del novedoso coronavirus, que ojalá se vuelva aún más común? […]
Pink Postcard
The moon was to be in Scorpio this month, and it seems we all noticed. Because the moon was to be pink, too. And who doesn’t heart a pink (and healthy, please) San Francisco Bay…. The moon is in Scorpio, alright. There is a sharpness in the air, a striving energy. Light to find. Light […]
Spirituality
Boy, do we need to talk more about spirituality. The subject feels so daunting sometimes, though. So esoteric. Even now, still, after our most pandemical year that will not quit, you’d think we’d all be like, floating on air and shit, our auras vibing with one another in harmony, soundtracked by singing birds. But no. […]

Fortune cookies still must be gotten and mailed to my nieces and nephews, alongside well wishes and the spirit of […]
San Francisco, 4.8.21
No one knows you better than a stranger.
San Francisco, 4.1.21
Call me a fool, but I know I’m not: That felt like a proper heat wave the last couple o’ days.
Shot, Shot, Shot
A year and 11 days after we hunkered down for a quick two-week quarantine to ride out the global COVID-19 pandemic, I received the first of my two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. And then, I had pizza and apple pie. I could not be more grateful, a la vida que me ha dado tanto. […]
Common Decency
Why is common decency always missing from the conversation around every other crisis at hand or controversy du jour? For serious, why? Everybody now: Because there is more money in crisis. Most of our issues worldwide nowadays would be solved, if only we simply could apply a little compassion to any of our pressing matters […]
Deleted it late last year. I just couldn’t with the stupidity anymore – its own, that of Donald Trump’s so-called culture (and his moment), my own – and got rid of it. He kinda ruined it, much like he does and did everything during his twice-impeached (assault on the) presidency. Much like Facebook, Twitter ultimately […]
