Ding! A text from the East Coast. What a most modern way to learn, know, and understand that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Notorious RBG, champion of women’s rights and equality, has passed away at age 87. Did American democracy die this evening, too? Moscow Mitch is already at it. As I live […]

PTSD
America’s PTSD is real, and it’s time we acknowledge as much, as a culture and as a melting pot. We the people make this country amazing. What can I tell ya, the sun is shining again on San Francisco. And I’ve been working on my shit. I left Lima for Miami 20 years ago last […]
San Francisco, 11.17.19
We should all be farmers. We should all be farming. By which I mean we should all know how to work our land, how to nurture it during the short while we are with it on it, how to take from it without leaving it barren for whomever is coming next. Instead, we are warring. […]
Never Forget
Never forget that we are here right now. The past is in the past – it cannot happen to us again. Never forget to move forward.
Loving Us Was Red
Earth is showing us her true colors today. Just in time for the 2020 season. Waking up to this red day this morning was something. Today is something. It’s som’in’ new. It – a combination of that good ol’ Bay Area fog and trapped smoke, from the wildfires that have been burning this month out […]
Postcard from the Tenderloin

Aw, Miami. Now you know it’s really, really serious. (I’m kidding. You’ve known it’s serious. Right? Get it and keep it together, already – you know what to do.) Basel has been cancelled! Indeed, for the first time since its post-9/11, tourism-revitalizing and scene-revolutionizing inception in 2002, Art Basel Miami Beach is a no-go this […]
A Comment Re: Nancy Pelosi’s Blowout
Nancy Pelosi went to a hair salon on Monday in Cow Hollow here in San Francisco, and now the Trumpists are foaming at the mouth with what I presume is some kind of glee (these folks are in desperate need of new, healthier hobbies). Whatever. Not like she grabbed some pussy on the way there […]
We Must Adapt
For the past month, we have had some weather up here in Northern California. The smoke plus the fog in the Bay Area has been a realness. It is not pleasant. I am beyond-grateful to be safely sheltered with my family, and to want for almost nothing. I understand Cal Fire has dubbed the Northern […]
This Is Them
This is them. This is their time. And the kids are driving us back to the theater experience, too. Fresh off a pre-, during, and post-COVID-19 award-winning trek up the 2020 film-festival circuit, the documentary Us Kids is ready for ya. Catch it at the drive-in, when it visits your city for a very special […]
