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 […]
The New York-born artist Michael Bailey, per the Whitney’s description, based this painting on diagrams of a ship carrying abducted Africans to the Americas that were published in 1780 by an English abolitionist group. No need to imagine it. This is how they did it.
Being destructive isn’t brave. Peace may not be as lucrative, but it cannot be ignored – no matter what today’s Academy Awards ceremony might suggest. There is more money in crisis, but we neither have to participate in the persistent lunacy of the game of war nor tolerate its most involved players (after all, it […]
The thing about the DaBaby is he said something ignorant. Look it up. DaBaby thought he was being funny/macho/who knows (who cares), when he said what he said on stage at Rolling Loud Miami on July 25, and he wasn’t. And so Madonna took DaBaby to school for it, so what more can I say […]
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, […]
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.) […]
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 […]
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 […]
Fall is here. Ya llegó el otoño – o la primavera, dependiendo de dónde estén. Tengan cuidado; el COVID-19 sigue por todos lados. 🙌🏽😷👍🏽 Creo que lo de las máscaras ya se calmó un poco (más vale prevenir que lamentar, after all), porque people were not getting the message that masks are like the easiest, […]
