Good thing the novel coronavirus vaccine has made its way stateside. Today, nine-ish months after humanity and the world went into lockdown on account of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and as the United States of America’s death toll passed 301,000, Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse in Queens, N.Y., became the first American to be […]

The COVID-19 Holiday Collective
We get knocked down, but we get up again. The last four years have been tough. And, yeah, by that I mean 2020. It has been a moment, and methinks it’s worth acknowledging it. So drop a pin: We are here. I am here. You’re never gonna keep me down; I’m a survivor. And if […]
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.) […]

America, you we need to calm down and get a hold of this COVID-19 pandemic, already. This isn’t the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, and we all know it. Like, for real: WTF. It’s the middle of November, is it not, and we have been at this since spring. C’mon now. Door to door since the last […]
And Not a Moment Too Soon
Rain. Thanks for the wash, Gaia. See? You can always count on la Pachamama to come through. To check us. To cleanse us. Now we have a better chance to return the favor and nurture our cute little Earth back to health, and ourselves, too, with better habits and without, well…you know. Not everyone is […]
Alrighty Then
Well that was empowering. It was not my (official) duty (quite just yet), but it was my privilege: I just got back from working the poll for your ass, America. You better didn’t fuck it up. Alrighty then, you know what: Saging works. Setting an intention works. Calling upon patience works. What a fun day […]
Capri x King of Cups: The Playlist
#Iclosemyeyes…and I see Capri, indeed (these are the days for a little escape, after all). I can hear and see fireworks over Moschino (perhaps a celebration is nigh closer to the here and now, and the coming week). I can feel the island breeze. I put a few records. And I am there, lost in […]
Pandemic Peeps: Liz Newman
And on the seventh month…we couldn’t rest easy, because the COVID-19 pandemic’s still going on – but, I think, we have managed to carry on, now, haven’t we. I mean, yeah, everywhere around the world there is some sort of conflict as I type, but the planet’s filled with people who simply shine. That’s my […]
Postcard from the Miami Design District
I’ve mixed feelings about this one, but it was bound to happen – and that’s the sunnier side of the street, feelings-about-it-wise, so good on ya, Miami, for carrying on and having a Basel season in 2020, after all. Oh yeah, not even that bitch COVID-19 could keep the Magic City from getting down with […]
