I deleted Facebook today. I can’t believe I had it 17 years. I was 17 years old, when I left home. Feels like a liberation again.

Protests on Campuses
Universities don’t silence, they amplify. They promote and share knowledge and research and community. The time for peaceful protest is now. This situation is global and humanity has to be heard and the response of the powerful must reflect the spirit of the moment. No one in their right mind wants more war for profit, […]
For Your Consideration: Peace
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 […]
San Francisco, Today
Natural disasters, however Man-fueled, cannot be prevented – they can only be managed…survived. But Man-made disasters like wars, that we can do without (if we really wanna). So help. Help the people of Acapulco, the people on your streets, the people we all know need our help the most. Fuck it, help yourself by not […]
San Francisco, 10.2.21
Madame X vibes last night at @clubfugazisf for preview show 11 of “#DearSanFrancisco,” a high-flying love letter to the #CitybytheBay by @the7fingers, an awesome international troupe full of stars. @madonna’s “#MadameXTour” was the last show we enjoyed pre-COVID. How appropriate to get back to it with this performance, a celebration of dance, gymnastics, and human […]
Steamy, Steamy
Boy, does it get kinda hot – downright balmy…and humid… – after a bomb cyclone. That was a first, mind you. One of the topics of conversation whenever on the phone with someone back home has always been the weather. Smooth and easy, that topic. Like buttah. And I feel like, maybe, that’s a fairly […]
5cream Again
Oh wow. It has been 10 years since the last time movie audiences around the world saw OG Screamers Never Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox together again and fighting for their lives up on the big screen in Scream 4…not to mention, 25 years since director Wes Craven delivered the first and seminal Kevin […]
This Is the Last Time
This is the last time I beat myself up. The last time I knew a group of people, it fizzled because time ran out (the time before because I ran out…ish – another story, another time…or not). So I went away to reset unto an unknown time. People wondered where and how I’d be. I […]
MMXXIami: The Playlist
Just the other day I was out in MMXXIami, having a daydream of Hollywood – of Hollywood, Fla. Of a chill place I’m calling Hollyweed. I saw green. I thought of hemp, hospitality, and mixology. Of possibility. Then, I woke up the boss of my reality and kept hoping. I just kept hoping. If Madonna […]
The Thing About ‘The Happening’
The thing about the happening, meaning COVID-19, our very own IRL happening, is it happened (it’s been happening). And shortly thereafter, America pulled out of Afghanistan. Good thing, for now we can call upon and welcome our military home, and task them with helping us to strengthen our communities rather than fortifying our fronteras. Up […]
