Who am I? And why did I start a Substack for Sane Francisco?

I’m a multi-hyphenate artist, most known for the music of my alien persona and the short films of her human alter ego. My work has been featured on various mainstream media outlets, most notably on NPR and The New York Times (media outlets I used to respect BTS1) and more recently on independent sources like The Corbett Report and Media Monarchy. In 2020, artists and musicians like myself who chose to speak out became an endangered species all over the planet and — irony of ironies — right here in the once free-thinking San Francisco. It’s rare to be a voice against the biomedical fear porn that’s taken root in the Bay Area.  I have been “cancelled” by a fair amount of my former friends, peers and clients, all for asking questions, expressing concerns, and not wearing a mask… amongst other things.

I sincerely hope that this platform — one of the few that currently does not censor free speech — will serve as another means to connect closet Sane Franciscans to the Sane Community.

I’d like to help us show the world that the Bay is not lost forever.  There has been a resistance here from Day 1, and we found each other.

It’s still taboo, even today, to discuss with my friends and neighbours anything that goes against the mainstream narrative. However, if this channel grows, who knows… something might pierce through the collective fog2.

Every now and then, the pessimists urge me to leave San Francisco but I, like many other Saners, have chosen to stay here and make a difference. Whatever you do, don’t underestimate the ability of a growing group of dedicated Sane people to work wonders in the place you would least expect that to happen! This city is a tough nut to crack but we aren’t giving up.

Finally I pray that being open with my perspectives will encourage all the silent ones to shake off their fear and speak. Here’s a message to the muted: there’s millions of us worldwide who see what is happening, and our numbers get bigger by the day. Four years into “the pandemic” and 87% of what corporate media maligned as “conspiracy theories” have now been confirmed. So I hope you will add your voice to ours, and be as resolute and fearless as possible. Much damage has already been done and the stakes are even higher going forward. We must think of the children, who deserve a healthy future and depend on our protection.

Why become a paid subscriber?

Since 2020, I’ve worked tirelessly to connect Sane folk and critical thinkers in real life. I have been out there in the streets not only fighting the insanity, but also creating physical spaces to bring us together (weekly meet-ups, social gatherings, protests, live arts and music events).

I have put together a plethora of useful online resources (eg. jobs, housing bulletin boards) for the Sane community, and have produced videos and other content in the hope of opening minds and hearts to what is happening in our city and beyond.

All these efforts have come with great opportunity cost which still impact me today. Nonetheless, I remain an optimist and I continue to have ideas on how to build and strengthen our parallel societies, but it is only with your financial support that I can devote more time to bringing them to life.

And, if you’re learning about Sane Francisco from outside of the Bay Area, becoming a paid subscriber is a way to support sanity in the craziest of places. Local action makes a national impact. Help us strengthen our community and push back against the tyrannical tides overpowering our fair city.

Join the Sane Gang!

Be officially part of a community — for the record, we are both vaxxed and unvaxxed — which believes that government overreach and in particular medical mandates, especially for children, are completely insane! 

And if you are only just finding out that Sane Francisco exists, you will be delighted to know that there are way more of us than you would imagine. If you become a paid subscriber — and if I/we know you in person — you can be added to the various Telegram groups so that you can expand your friend base and meet — in real life — with like-minded folk, eg. at Sane Events and many other Bay Area happenings.
