f you think our government’s war policy has become out-of-this world cuckoo, consider the spaciness being proposed by the cosmonauts on Spaceship Trump.

Spending nearly $700 billion a year on maintaining the five branches of the U.S. war machine (not counting the costs of actually fighting all the wars they get into) is not enough they now tell us. So prepare to soar — militarily and budgetarily — into a boundless war theater

where none have gone before: Yes, outer space!

It seems that Captain Trump himself woke up one morning in June and abruptly announced that he was bored with the fusty old Army, Air Force, etc., so he wanted a shiny new sixth military branch to play with [space music sound effects] — a “Space Force” to carry America’s war-making power to a cosmic level. His loyal lieutenant, Mike “YesMan” Pence promptly saluted, calling Trump’s whim “an idea whose time has come.” America’s military leaders rolled their eyes at this folly, but they’ve since snapped to attention and are preparing to launch Cap’n Trump’s grandiose space dreams.

In a melodramatic speech, Pence declared that the new Space Command will “seek peace, in space as on Earth.”

For more information on Jim Hightower’s work — and to subscribe to his award-winning monthly newsletter, The Hightower Lowdown — visit www.jimhightower.com.

Hmm... that’s not very comforting.

However, he says he’s thrilled that Trump’s Space Force will be led by a four-star general, have its own bureaucracy with a multibillion-dollar budget, have a separate division to funnel money to corporate war contractors, and have its own snappy uniforms. Won’t all that look great if Trump ever gets that big showy military parade he’s been demanding as a tribute to his leadership as a cocktailroom warrior.

The Trumpeteers gush that this extraplanetary extravagance will attract “America’s best and bravest” to serve as “warfighters.” Of course, their privileged families won’t have to fight in any of the space wars they’re dreaming up for other families to fight.

the anderson files What would Molly do?

by Dave Anderson

T

hese days, I wonder what Molly Ivins would think of today’s politics. Those of us who were fans called her Molly even if we never met her. In Boulder, she participated in CU’s Conference on World Affairs, provoking guffaws and drawing huge crowds.

Molly Ivins was a perceptive commentator and hilarious satirist with a Texas twang. A syndicated columnist and writer for numerous national magazines, she was most well-known for explaining that state’s politics with colorful anecdotes.

Molly died of breast cancer at age 62 on Jan. 31, 2007, shortly before Barack Obama formally announced he was running for president. She had been impressed by Obama’s speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and thought he should run.

The year before, she wrote that, “Sen. (Hillary) Clinton is apparently incapable of taking a clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to disqualify her (to be president).” Most likely had she lived longer, Molly would have also been disappointed in Obama.

She gave George W. Bush the nicknames “Dubya” and “Shrub.” She covered the corrupt and reactionary goings-on at the Texas state legislature, remarking that, “All anyone needs to enjoy the state legislature is a strong stomach and a complete insensitivity to the needs of the people. As long as you don’t think about what that peculiar

body should be doing and what it actually is doing to the quality of life in Texas, then it’s all marvelous fun.”

For all her jokes, she was serious about holding the powerful accountable. Her analysis of how politicians get away with scapegoating the vulnerable seems incredibly relevant in Trump’s America: “The trouble with blaming powerless people is that although it’s not nearly as scary as blaming the powerful, it does miss the point... Poor people do not shut down factories. Poor people are not in charge of those mergers and acquisitions in which tens of thousands of people lose their jobs so a few people in top positions can make a killing on the stock market.

“If we can make ourselves believe that poor folks are responsible for their own problems, then the rest of us are absolved of any responsibility for them... The reason we like to blame the victim is because if it’s not the victim’s fault, why then, it could happen to anybody. It could even happen to you. And that is scary.

“I believe all Southern liberals come from the same starting point — race.

Once you figure out they are lying to you about race, you start to question everything.”

She was afraid that we were losing our democracy: “Oligarchy is eating our ass, our dreams, our country, our heritage, our see THE ANDERSON FILES Page 7

the anderson files members.

Molly would have been ecstatic when she read the winter issue of the The American Prospect with the Justin Miller article on Texas and the Bob Moser article on “A New South Rising.”

Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn, who is up for re-election in 2020, is quoted as saying: “Texas is no longer, I believe, a reliably red state. We are on the precipice of turning purple, and we’ve got a lot of work to do to keep it red, because we lost, we got blown out in the urban areas. We got beat in the suburbs, which used to be our traditional strongholds. And if it wasn’t for the rural areas of the state where Senator Cruz won handily, (the Senate race against Democrat Beto O’Rourke) might not have turned out the way it did.”

Up in heaven, Molly is celebrating and urging us to fight on. As she said once down here on Earth: “So keep fightin’ for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don’t you forget to have fun doin’ it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin’ ass and celebratin’ the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.”

This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

There are many things I would rather do with my time than respond to the self-congratulatory words of an old man who uses condescension and crude insults to compensate for his profound lack of understanding and inability to form a cogent argument. Yet, after reading both Michaela Mujica-Steiner’s article about her activism at the U.N. Climate Summit (Re: “Déjà vu at U.N. Climate talks,” Guest column, Dec. 13, 2018) and Paul Danish’s open letter attacking her (Re: Danish Plan, Dec. 20, 2018) for her work, I find it necessary to say my piece. As a fellow millennial activist, I believe it is important to call out falsehood whenever I see it.

And Danish’s article is rife with it.

Danish’s embarrassment of an article makes his ignorance of our Constitution clear. He would do well to re-read the First Amendment, which Boulder Weekly

democracy, our justice and our tax code... Either we figure out how to keep corporate cash out of the political system or we lose the democracy.”

She said the fight isn’t easy, noting, “The thing about democracy, beloveds, is that it is not neat, orderly, or quiet. It requires a certain relish for confusion.”

Molly described herself as a populist. She would have been outraged that so many mainstream pundits call Trump a populist and then claim genuine populists like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown sound like Trump.

Molly was an early and fervent opponent of Bush’s war in Iraq. In her last column, written a few weeks before she died, she urged people to end the war. Bush had called himself “the decider.” She disagreed: “We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous.”

The wars go on, unfortunately, but people have been raising hell against the Trump administration since the very beginning — from the Women’s Marches to the blue wave in last November’s election. The Congressional Progressive Caucus had 78 members before the midterms and now it has 96

protects Mujica-Steiner’s right to express political dissent and pressure her government through non-violent protest. She is fully within her rights to “peaceably assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Calling her an “authoritarian bully” is pathetic and laughable. She is no authoritarian, but rather an engaged citizen advocating for the world she and her generation will inherit. This is not something to be ridiculed, but to be commended.

Bypassing Danish’s convoluted opinions on nuclear energy, the core difference between Mujica-Steiner’s and Danish’s views on environmentalism boils down to this: Danish wrongly puts the onus of responsibility for climate change on the individual consumer, whereas Mujica-Steiner understands that climate change is a systemic issue see LETTERS Page 8

which can only be addressed through strategies of systemic change. Whereas Danish shames an activist when she flies to advocate for the interests of her generation’s future in a critical and potent political space, Mujica-Steiner wisely knows to place the blame not on members of the working class, but on the extractive system itself and the wealthy ruling class who selfishly perpetuates it for their own profit and gain.

The reality is that 71 percent of global fossil fuel emissions are caused by only 100 corporations. We must face the hard truth that no amount of cutting back on driving, turning off our lights or using reusable straws in our daily lives will save us if our politicians remain in the pocket of the oil and gas industry. As United States citizens, the single most critical thing we can do to stop massive climate change catastrophe is not “going green” in our personal lives, but disrupting and pressuring our politicians through mass collective action. This is exactly what MujicaSteiner is doing in her work.

There is a single sentence in Danish’s article that rings true. He is correct when he says that how we choose to address climate change is our call to make, not his. He speaks with all the arrogance and defensiveness of a man who knows his time is up and his beliefs are a dying breed, and his socalled “argument” amounts to little more than “sit down and be quiet, young lady.” In light of willful ignorance such as his, I am even more grateful that it is my generation of skillful and engaged activists such as Mujica-Steiner, and not his, who are helping to lead this vital fight for our world.

Politicians’ first day on the job We did our best to welcome the new “blue wave” at the capital on Friday morning, Jan. 4. A group of 100 or so engaged citizens of Colorado Rising (the group that spearheaded Prop 112) made a point to be there at 7:30 a.m. to let the incoming elected officials know that their constituents were still fighting for our right to clean air, clean water and a chance to raise our children in a country that was supposedly a democratic institution.

Fracking is our key issue, it ties into every misuse of resources that we are currently facing. The fact that this “new blue wave” that we are supposed to see as a new insurgency didn’t have the balls to walk up the steps and acknowledge our presence, does not bode well for our future. Like all good politicians,

they scurried around to the side doors.

Now that they are elected officials they can’t be bothered by the riff raff, all except Jonathan Singer. Hats off to him... he was there with us, standing on the steps. The other progressives?

Scurried around the corners.

Trump’s accomplishments 1) Separated thousands of children from their parents at the Mexican border.

2) Authorized the use of tear gas across the border against Honduran refugees.

3) Launched a full-frontal attack on the free press and the intelligence community calling them “fake news” and corrupt.

4) Worst perpetrator of lying and fake news in any presidency.

5) Took the word of Vladimir Putin over our own intelligence on proven Russian spying after which Putin announced a new missile that can penetrate our defense system.

6) Implemented tariffs on steel imports affecting closure of some GM plants and losing valuable foreign agricultural sales due to Chinese retaliation.

7) Continued to ignore the presence of climate change and the realities that are occurring world-wide while doubling down on the failing coal industry.

8) Cited for influence-pedaling in Washington and at Mar-a-Lago.

9.)Fired knowledgeable federal officers while his reckless trade wars and ignorance of basic fiscal principles helped reduce stock market levels in December by 20 percent, or the highest point drop since the great depression.

10) Shut down the government to appease his ego and loyal constituency over a useless wall that will not stop the people who are trying to get here illegally.

11) Regularly proffered hate, fear and lies to Americans, using vicious language not unlike that once used by Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.

In 1960, John F. Kennedy announced that America would endeavor to be the first country to put a man on the moon. Kennedy’s bold vision became a reality 10 years later and united our people together in greatness. In 2016, Donald J. Trump announced he would make America “great again” and start by building a medieval wall between us and Mexico, which instantly divided our country between the reactionary and the enlightened reducing our image to that of a third-world renegade.

Everyone’s a victim

New campaign seeks to educate both sides when it comes to identity theft

by Angela K. Evans 10 January 10, 2019

I

n 2004, Luz Gonzalez filed her taxes and got her refund, just like she had done every year since becoming a permanent resident and getting a Social Security number at age 19. But three months later, she received a letter from the IRS accusing her of not reporting $23,000 of income and telling her she owed the government $4,000 in taxes and fines.

“When you get a letter from the IRS, it’s scary,” says Gonzalez, who quickly realized she was a victim of identity theft, most likely because she had lost her ID at a nightclub the year before.

Gonzalez called the IRS and told them someone else was using her identity to work. In turn, the agency told her to file a police report, fax it in, and the extra income and associated fines would be cleared from her record.

“But I was intrigued about who did it, I wanted to know,” she says.

boulderganic Changing lives with freshwater access in South Africa

by Will Brendza

hen Norman Mthethwa arrives back to his village in South Africa, he’s got a tight schedule and a lot of work to do. After spending the better part of a year developing his organization, Drop in Sea, through Watson Institute’s incubator program at Chautauqua, Mthethwa is champing at the bit to get down to business.

A community of nearly 10,000 people, Mthethwa’s village, Boschfontein, (and all of South Africa, as he points out) is in the midst of a water crisis. It’s estimated 5 million people don’t have access to clean drinking water, while 14 million don’t have access to safe sanitation. Additionally, the country has experienced years of climate change-induced drought causing severe water shortages in major cities like Cape Town. In many rural areas, like Boschfontein, access to fresh drinking water is severely limited, not only because of geography or climate — but also by broken wells and boreholes in disrepair.

They know where the water is, they just can’t access it.

“Water is the source of a lot of challenges,” Mthethwa says. “Yes, education is important, but if you’re not healthy, you can’t learn. If you get sick from the water you drink, health, education, innovation, all of those things are affected.”

Mthethwa experienced this water crisis first-hand growing up in Boschfontein.“In my house we only used to get water on the weekends,”

Mthethwa describes. “If you didn’t save up water in those two days you were screwed for the whole week. And if you didn’t, that meant you had to go to school, come back, take a jerry can, go find a stream and then carry it back.”

And even then, he says, a lot of the time the water that he would collect was unsanitary and required a lot of boiling.

“I don’t want the next person coming after me to feel that, to experience that,” Mthethwa says. “I want to change it.”

starting to think about how he could address water scarcity in his village and make an impact on his community.

But it wasn’t until he graduated with his degree in business that Drop in Sea became the forefront of his focus.

He entered Drop in Sea into a pitch competition and earned his first $1,000 in funding. From there he applied to Watson Institute’s incubator program, which aims to help nextgeneration innovators and social entrepreneurs amplify their impact through social ventures and projects.

Courtesy of Drop in Sea It was a long shot, Mthethwa says. For a kid from South Africa, the chances of getting into Watson and the logistics of organizing such a trip if he did, seemed like insurmountable challenges.

“But, I made it happen,” Mthethwa says, surprising even himself. He arrived in Boulder in January 2018, with his budding pet pilot project and an inexhaustible drive to push it forward.

“I gathered a team of other people who have a personal connection to the mission, and also differing experiences and expertise,” Mthethwa explains. He registered Drop in Sea as an When he was in high school he NGO in June and started fundraising became involved with Imagine right away. If they were going to serve Scholars, an after-school youth develeveryone in Boschfontein, Mthethwa opment initiative that aims to empow- calculated they were going to need at er young leaders. They helped least $3,000 to do it.

Mthethwa get scholarships and attend “Some of the money has been comcollege at the University of Pretoria, ing in on individual donations, like which, he says, was a dream come true. people who really believe in our idea,” It was at university that Mthethwa Mthethwa says. started Drop in Sea as a side project, But the most significant contribu-

tion to their cause came from the Red Empress Foundation, which awarded Drop in Sea $2,967.68 to improve water access in Boschfontein in November.

It was exactly the boost the organization needed.

“When I got the grant I was over the moon,” says Mthethwa. “$3,000 or $4,000 is probably not a lot here in the States, but it will mean a lot to a lot of people in South Africa. There are lives that are going to be changed.”

The holidays marked the end of Mthethwa’s time in Boulder, and the beginning of the real work. Now back in South Africa, he’s working to hire a drilling firm to start working on the wells. At the same time, he’s recruiting people from Boschfontein to act as the project liaisons with the community and who will learn how to repair and maintain the wells. The entire project life-cycle should only take about three weeks, he hopes.

The end goal is autonomy, Mthethwa says. He wants to make sure that the community can support themselves, that they can learn how the pumps work, and then teach that to other people and continue to enjoy fresh, clean water. And he isn’t stopping with Boschfontein. When Mthethwa is finished with Drop in Sea’s work there, he’ll move onto the next community, and the next one after that.

“Water is a world crisis, it’s not just South Africa or my community or anywhere else,” he says. It’s something we can all relate to and something everyone on Earth should care about.

“Water is life.”

CU Boulder language project aims to give nonbinary Hebrew speakers the words they need

Boulder Weekly

W

by Caitlin Rockett

hen Lior Gross emailed Eyal Rivlin to ask about joining one of Rivlin’s Hebrew classes at the University of Colorado Boulder last spring, Rivlin noticed Gross had included nonbinary preferred pronouns in their email signature: they, them, theirs.

It was a simple observation that could change the way 9 million Hebrew speakers around the world communicate. That email was the launching point for the Nonbinary Hebrew Project, an open-source project founded by Rivlin and Gross that creates a framework for a third gender construction in Hebrew.

Hebrew — like French, Spanish and one-quarter of the world’s spoken languages — uses grammatical gender, categorizing nouns as male or female, but also gendering

adjectives and verbs according to the speaker’s gender. For people who identify as genderqueer, nonbinary or gender questioning, gendered language can greatly limit the way they express gender identity, which is to say nothing of the psychological effects such limitations impose.

Gross says nonbinary Hebrew speakers sometimes alternate between gender constructions from sentence to sentence, or switch their constructions based on who they are speaking to. Others have created their own words and phrases with no rules to apply to the language overall.

So Rivlin, an Israeli whose first language is Hebrew, asked Gross how they wanted to go about communicating in this “very binary” language.

“Part of my teaching philosophy is to

make sure that every student feels safe and welcome and able to be fully themselves in my class,” Rivlin says. We’re sitting on the floor of his office in the University Club building, and Gross, back in Baltimore with their family after simultaneously earning their bachelor’s and master’s in ecology this December, completes our circle as a smiling, bespectacled face on Rivlin’s MacBook screen.

“It’s a small class and highly interactive because it’s a language class,” Rivlin explains. “I actually get a diverse student body, whether it’s students who are not Jewish, students who are Muslim, Christian, auditors, people who are older, trans students. And so it’s important for me to create an environment where everybody wants to participate, everyone wants to come to class. So when I noticed Lior’s signature, I had a moment. I’d had trans students before that either identified as male or female, but how [can Hebrew work for] nonbinary [students]? It inspired me to actually be proactive before the semester began and really think about that.”

Gross and Rivlin met up to discuss possibilities. Initial research showed incomplete workarounds, but there wasn’t a solid framework set up to handle nonbinary grammar and systematics in Hebrew. So Rivlin called family and friends back in Israel to ask if they had any experience with using nonbinary grammar — no luck there either.

“My approach, with Lior’s inspiration and the need that arose in the classroom, was to say, ‘Well, what can we do? What actually is possible?’”

Rivlin says. “Lior found some precedents in Spanish and so kind of using that information I wanted to create something that would feel organic and

fluid for native Hebrew speakers so it doesn’t sound jarring, so it makes sense; something that if you could explain it in a minute or less, anyone would be able to apply that if they know the language.”

After some trial and error, using the classroom as a sort of laboratory, Rivlin and Gross created a third gender category by adding the “-eh” suffix to most words.

“What I like about the suffix that we came up with is that the sound of it ... is associated with masculine endings, but the letter that we added to go with it is the letter H, which is associated with feminine endings,” Rivlin explains. “So in a way, when you look at it, it looks feminine but it sounds masculine. It holds both. It’s not a foreign sound and it doesn’t clash with other existing Hebrew rules. We looked at other possibilities and that one, when we applied it and experimented in the classroom and with each other, felt organic, it sounds good.”

The new construction also has the added benefit of allowing Hebrew speakers to address a mixed audience in a nonbinary way, where previously the masculine plural would be the default.

Gross sees the Nonbinary Hebrew Project as part of a global language revolution.

“We started doing the project and I started learning more and it turned out there are a lot of things people were doing in other languages at the same time,” Gross says. “It was really cool to Boulder Weekly

see that there’s kind of a little bit of a revolution going on right now ... in English alone: What are these words, what are these labels, how do we talk about ourselves and how can we change the conversations we have based on the words that we can use? Then getting to apply that to other languages that we speak to try to hold more people... It’s just a whole wave of momentum that’s happening.”

In the fall of 2017, the first school textbook promoting a gender-neutral version of French was released in France. Canada made its national anthem gender neutral just last year, and three provinces — the Northwest Territories, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario — allow “X” on birth certificates. Sweden added the widely adopted gender-neutral pronoun hen to its dictionary in 2015.

Germany put a working group together last year to find ways to modernize German to include gender-neutral language in a way that people could actually speak.

For Gross, the Nonbinary Hebrew Project is a natural progression for a language whose history includes an almost 2,000-year period of non-use as a common spoken tongue. In a paper about the project, Gross calls the history of Hebrew “one of innovation and molding in order to fit the conventions of the era, especially in terms of attitudes towards gender.”

In an op-ed for The New York Times in 2016, rabbi Mark Sameth lays out a compelling case in favor of gender fluidity and neutrality, based on the Hebrew Bible, read in its original language.

“In Genesis 3:12,” Sameth writes, “Eve is referred to as ‘he.’ In Genesis 9:21, after the flood, Noah repairs to ‘her’ tent. Genesis 24:16 refers to Rebecca as a ‘young man.’ And Genesis 1:27 refers to Adam as ‘them.’”

Even more fascinating is the fourHebrew-letter name of God — YHWH. Sameth says the word was “probably” not pronounced Jehovah or Yahweh, as Israelite priests would have read the letters in reverse as Hu/Hi, Hebrew for he/she.

“Counter to everything we grew up believing,” Sameth writes, “the God of Israel — the God of the three monotheistic, Abrahamic religions to which fully half the people on the planet today belong — was understood by its earliest worshipers to be a dual-gendered deity.”

Rivlin adds to this, recounting the story of God coming to Moses in the form of a burning bush: “When Moses asks God, ‘What should I tell people is your name?’ in Hebrew it’s ehyeh ’ašer ’ehyeh: ‘I am that I am,’” Rivilin says. “It’s Boulder Weekly

an ever-changing, ever-evolving name.”

This is what is fundamentally most important to Gross: The history of inclusivity and gender subversion in the Jewish faith. From Gross’ perspective — and they aren’t alone — it’s built into the very DNA of Judaism.

“I think that having this sense of mutual reciprocity and community is really important for understanding how, in a lot of different Jewish movements, there have been pushes toward inclusivity,” Gross says. “Again and again we

innovate and change. Two generations ago, their Judaism isn’t recognizable to us and our Judaism isn’t recognizable to the sages of the Talmud. And the rabbis who were writing the Talmud, their Judaism wasn’t recognizable to their contemporaries who were part of the temple cults.

“It was said that on holidays at the temple, even though there was a certain size of the actual building, no matter how many Jews came there was always enough space for all of them because

the walls moved outwards,” Gross says.

“We have the opportunity right now to do that through language and we have the opportunity to do that through all sorts of different types of accessibility and justice in our communities. The values are right there in our texts and our songs and the stories we tell our kids.”

n his memoir, Nothing to be Afraid Of, novelist Julian Barnes immediately confides: “I don’t believe in God, but I miss him.”

Throughout this meditation on mortality, Barnes laments the death of God in our increasingly secular world, because even as God’s executioners, we still long for something to believe in, for something to inspire us, for something that will ease the pain of being so wretchedly, mortally human.

It’s a longing Tim Kasher can relate to.

The frontman for indie rock outfit Cursive has made a career of publicly unspooling his relatable existential crises, often thematically, focusing on the dissolution of a marriage (his marriage, with some dramatic accoutrements) for the band’s breakthrough record, Domestica, in 2000, or the meaning of art in 2003’s critically acclaimed The Ugly Organ.

It’s been six years since Cursive’s last album, I Am Gemini, a far-reaching concept album that explores the relationship between good and evil. But unlike the bulk of Cursive’s output, I Am Gemini is inaccessible, both musically and sometimes lyrically, requiring a 13-page booklet to lay out the characters for this kindof-sort-of rock opera. The album, while interesting in fits and spurts and indicanothing to do with an elected governtive of Kasher’s burgeoning interest in ment and everything to do with how we screenwriting, strays from the relatable govern ourselves.

Kasher gets out of his own way and lets loose with his emotions.

It’s also how Kasher avoids turning completely toward nihilism.

“I find the most happiness in the moment of writing and in completing whatever it is I happen to be working on,” he says. “So then what I write about tends to generally be about the existentialism. But it’s funny: I suppose in the very process of writing about it that’s kind of the way I help curb it for myself. We’re all looking for some sense of meaning. Even the very writing I’m doing, I recognize it’s totally meaningless but I do it because it’s the closest I can get to myself... to self-actualization, I guess.”

And he’s right, as far as Sartre or Camus or Zaretsky or Barnes could or can tell.

Existential crises — the real kind, the internal kind with no solutions — are necessary to living a meaningful life. The sheer dread of it all pushes us to see through the lies we tell ourselves about how life is supposed to be and finally see how life really is. It’s beautiful and ugly, not always in equal measure, and it’s probably — possibly... maybe — all we’ve got.

As Sartre once famously said, we are condemned to be free.

not true for the rest of the programs. “These guys have been playing Beethoven and Haydn and Bartók like 80 times a season for the past 25 years,” she says.

“For me, that’s the new endeavor.”

Bartók is particularly associated with the Takács Quartet, in part because the founders were all themselves Hungarian. But Rhodes sees the group’s identity as much more than nationality.

“I think it has more to do with the aesthetic of the group,” she says. “Over many, many years the group has established a sound that is specific to the Takács Quartet, and even with member changes that aesthetic hasn’t changed.

“It’s something that I think about all the time. I think about the sound of the group, I think about ways to enhance it. It’s not a matter of fitting in — it’s a matter of having a deep understanding and love for that core idea, and then taking responsibility to enhance it.”

Rhodes is particularly excited about the programming across the three concerts. The quartet pairs by Haydn, Beethoven and Bartók represent the greatest string quartets of the classical, early Romantic and 20th-century eras, with Grieg, Beach and the two pieces with voice expanding that core.

“I think it’s brilliant programming,” Rhodes says, while explaining that it was already in place when she joined the quartet. “It’s practical, aesthetically pleasing, intellectual, extremely emotional, it appeals to the music historian, it appeals to the person who knows nothing about music history — there’s so many layers and levels of programming that can reach so many different people.

“With works by Haydn, Bartók and Beethoven, that’s what makes that music timeless.”

While only recently experiencing widespread popularity in the Western world, the practice of sound healing predates Christ.

The Greeks reportedly used vibrations to aid digestion and induce sleep. Contemporary studies show that music lowers blood pressure, decreases pulse rate and assists the parasympathetic nervous system. This event, led

by Nancy Wunderlich and Jim Lanpheer, will combine the sounds of gongs, Tibetan bowls, Peruvian bells, Native American flutes, hand pan and saxophone with specific breathwork to create a transformational experience. Tickets are $30 at bpt.me/event/3918628.

Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

With a Coat

by Dante Di Stefano

I was cold and leaned against the big oak tree as if it were my mother wearing a rough apron of bark, her upraised arms warning of danger.

Through those boughs and leaves I saw dark patches of sky. I thought a brooding witch waited to catch me up from under branches and take me, careening on her broom, to her home in the jaundiced moon.

I looked to the roof of mom and dad’s house and wondered if the paisley couch patterns would change during the day. My brother peeked from a window and waved. When the bus came, I pawed away from the trunk, fumbled, and took my first step toward not returning.

by Michael J. Casey

C

U-Boulder’s International Film Series isn’t just Boulder’s first art-house ON THE BILL: series; it also features one of the best International Film programs out there. From internaSeries. Various dates tional sensations to genre appreciaand times, Muenzinger Auditorium, 1905 tions, award-winners and retrospectives, IFS offers Colorado Ave., Boulder. the Boulder moviegoing faithful an opportunity to internationalfilmseries.com see the best of cinema, past and present, in the best possible light.

Not an easy task in a market where streaming consumption is the name of the game. But while the streaming giants trumpet convenience as their greatest asset, IFS has another card up its sleeve: curation. Here are 50-plus features and shorts, handpicked from the annals of history alongside some of today’s best for your viewing pleasure.

Take Shoplifters ( Jan. 15–17), the latest drama from Japan’s Hirokazu Kore-eda and the winner of Cannes’ top prize last summer. Or how about They Live (March 20), John Carpenter’s witty retort to Reaganomics and rampant consumerism?

Separated by an ocean and three decades, those two movies might seem worlds apart, but funnily enough, they’re more alike than they’re different.

Even better, They Live is part of a six-film series focusing on Carpenter’s works. CU Cinema Studies professor Sabrina Negri will introduce each film — including The Fog (Feb. 6), The Thing (Feb. 20), Big Trouble in Little China (March 6), Prince of Darkness (March 13) and In the Mouth of Madness (April 3) — with background, historical context and attention to Carpenter’s cinematic style.

You’ve probably seen a few of these movies before, but not like this. Five of the Carpenter films will unspool on 35mm, as will seven other titles this semester. From Luchino Visconti’s 1971 elegiac Death in Venice ( Jan. 23), based on Thomas Mann’s iconic novel, to Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of William Thackeray’s 19th century satire, Barry Lyndon (April 27). As a bonus, Lord Bullingdon himself, Leon Vitali, will introduce Lyndon.

It’s unclear what kind of acting career awaited Vitali after Lyndon, but that isn’t his concern. Vitali was too enamored with Kubrick to do anything else and devoted himself to becoming Kubrick’s right-hand man. You’ll find that baffling and fascinating story in the documentary Filmworker (April 26) with Vitali in person.

In addition to Vitali, Mike Reiss, one of the original writers for The Simpsons, will also trek to Boulder to give a one-of-a-kind presentation, “Springfield Confidential,” on April 14.

Then there are the tributes to those we lost in 2018: A showing of The Conformist (March 16) pays homage to director Bernardo Bertolucci; The Man Who Fell to Earth (April 7) celebrates the life of director Nicolas Roeg; screenings of Misery and All the President’s Men (April 12–13) showcase the work of recently departed screenwriter William Goldman; and The Blues Brothers (April 20), features the queen herself, Aretha Franklin.

Peppered in between: films from Brazil, Tito and the Birds (March 17); Denmark, Word of God (April 9–10); Iceland, Woman at War (April 4–6); Norway, The Quake ( Jan. 29); South Korea, Burning ( Jan. 25–26) and more, too numerous to contain here. There will even be a special program of Orson Welles films (April 22–25), all presented on 35mm and introduced by me, Michael Casey. More on those later. For now, let’s just go to the movies.

Four courses to try in and around Boulder County this week

menu THE TASTING

Ty Cobb Salad Mad Greens Several locations in Boulder County, madgreens.com

F

‘Elote’ Brussels Sprouts Dos Santos 1475 E. 17th Ave., Denver, dossantostacos.com

E

lote, or Mexican street corn, is delicious anyway you slice it. Grilled corn covered in cotija cheese, lime, spices and mayonnaise, the ubiquitous Mexican street food favorite is growing in popularity across the U.S. While its served seasonally (the summer months) at Denver’s Dos Santos, the restaurant recently had a winter version on the menu, featuring the equally ubiquitous Brussels sprout.

Charred sprouts were smothered in lime, salt, spicy mayo and cotija cheese. The entire dish was creamy and spicy, charred and tangy, all at once, happily washed down with a house marg. $5.00.

ast casual restaurants have officially taken over the world, due in large part to their combination of freshness, affordability, convenience and healthfulness. Mad Greens checks all those boxes with their lineup of salads, bowls, wraps and more. We opted for their signature Ty Cobb salad recently, and left abundantly satisfied with the bowl of romaine lettuce, Southwestern chicken, avocado, bacon, red onions, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes and blue cheese dressing.

A balance of textures, flavors and temperatures, this is a salad that you might find yourself craving. $10.

Cold Brew Vietnamese Coffee Black Orchid Coffee 148 E. Rogers Road, Longmont, blackorchidcoffee.com

T

he husband-andwife team behind Longmont’s Black Orchid Coffee is raising the bar for pre-made, bottled coffees. Their cold brew Vietnamese coffee tastes as good as anything you’d find in a high-end coffee shop. Beans for the blend are sourced from the lush central forest highlands of Vietnam, and Black Orchid secured a custom blend from a supplier in the region after sampling hundreds of coffees on a visit. You’ll notice the smooth texture of the coffee, and taste its nutty, earthy and rich chocolaty flavors.

Prices vary.

Bumbleberry Pie My Mom’s Pies 201 Murray St., Unit C, Niwot, mmpies.com

I

f you spot a pie made by Niwot’s My Mom’s Pies, you’re likely to stand above it and debate whether you should buy it or not. It’s too enticing to ignore. The flaky crust, the overflowing filling, the ramshackle crimping and hole punctures that let you know the pie really is homemade. Of course, we couldn’t pass over a recent pie encounter and snatched one of the bumbleberry variety. It’s a mix of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, marionberries and raspberries. Tart, sweet and juicy, the filling makes for a perfect partner to the buttery, flaky crust. Prices vary.

ba l ck to grue ‘Can I have some more’ savory, spicy oatmeal, grits, congee and grains?

Boulder Weekly

T

hanks to a last-minute reprieve, one of Boulder County’s quirkiest annual food events will take place as scheduled on Jan. 12. For the 23rd year in a row, you will be able to crown a bowl of oatmeal with more than 100 toppings. Quaker Oats — the event’s sponsor and raison d’être — had announced last year that it was ceasing its financial support.

After an outcry from locals and oatmeal enthusiasts who labelled the company as The Grinch who Stole the Porridge, Quaker Oats wisely rescinded its decision.

The humble 23rd annual Lafayette Oatmeal Festival is highlighted by a fitness run and a hot oatmeal breakfast starting at 7:30 a.m. at Pioneer Elementary School. I attended the first Oatmeal Festival and a few see NIBBLES Page 38

January 10 , 2019 37

NIBBLES from Page 37

since, and the main attractions are the toppings.

While there are a few non-sweet toppings including jalapeños, bacon, hot sauce and grated cheese, the vast majority of festival-goers take the opportunity to heap on the sweet stuff including berries, gummy bears, chocolate chips, crushed cookies, fresh fruit, dried fruit and nuts.

It’s dessert for breakfast, a tradition Americans whole-heartedly embrace, but I wonder if it isn’t about time for an oatmeal dinner during mons Com the Lafayette Oatmeal Festival? While imedia ik grain-based bowls are jst becoming W a “thing” in the U.S., people across the globe have been asking for savory porridge for centuries.

Long before shrimp and grits were found on Southwestern menus, maize gruel was a big fuel for Mesoamerican peoples. Global savory grain variations include grits variations like creamy polenta, couscous, risotto and Asian congee, the thin rice porridge made with green onions, m on s Com a i meats, eggs and vegetables. ed im One promising sign is New ik W York’s OatMeals, an eatery offering 30 sweet and savory bowls including the Croque Madame: oatmeal with diced ham, shaved gruyere cheese, nutmeg, salt, pepper, steamed milk and a poached egg. Other toppings range from bacon, Parmesan and pesto to balsamic glaze, sundried tomatoes and furikake, a dried-fishbased seasoning.

I’m an unabashed, lifelong fan of the chewy, creamy, fruity melding that makes hot cereal such a winter pleasure. As a meal, hot cereal has a lot of appeal as it can be organic, locally sourced, high fiber, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-sugar, high protein and thrifty.

I bake oven batches of hot cereal that include old-

fashioned oats but also a mix from a changing roster of grits, polenta, almond flour, quick barley, rye flakes, puffed millet and leftover steamed rice. Some of them need to be pre-cooked or pre-soaked.

I use milk and sometimes juice or applesauce to make it and add banana, butter, cinnamon, vanilla, yogurt, dried plums, chopped roasted nuts and toasted unsweetened coconut flakes to add textural complexity.

However, I also cook the same grain mixture without sweetness or dairy — sometimes with broth — and set it aside as a canvas for savory purposes. One of my favorites is the combo of creamy cheesy grains topped with eggs, smoked ham or turkey and sautéed onions, red bell peppers and such.

Another classic is plain grains with unsalted butter (or toasted sesame oil), sliced green onions, soy sauce, black pepper and toasted sesame seeds — with or without steamed spinach, roasted winter squash and other veggies.

Last summer, I made an exceptional batch of steel-cut oats with off-thecob grilled Colorado corn, diced peaches and goat cheese. The other night I used it as a base for a batch of chicken green curry. Other brunch variations include oatmeal rancheros — with all the usual ingredients — and grains topped with shakshuka — eggs poached in spicy, vegetable-studded tomato sauce.

By the way, the most famous hot cereal reference in English literature is not a request for seconds on Cinnamon Brown Sugar Oatmeal with Dinosaur Eggs. When Oliver Twist said, “Please, sir, can I have some more?” in Charles Dickens’ classic novel, he was requesting more gruel, a savory soup.

Dickens wrote that Twist was fed “three meals of

Taste of the week

My favorite taste over the holidays was a flashback to growing up in New England. I got a hankering for mincemeat pie and found a baker who makes them by special order: Karen DeVincenzo, who creates pies and other goodies for the Jamestown Mercantile. She hit the mincemeat pie sweet spot with a meat-free variation packed with candied orange peel, dried fruit, spices, brandy, pear, apple, cherries and walnuts in a flaky crust. It was perfect with a slice of extra sharp Cheddar.

TABLE

Living on burritos Illegal Pete’s Pete Turner pays his employees close to $20 per hour

by Matt Cortina

Boulder Weekly

P

ete Turner made international news a few years back when he refused to submit to outside pressure and change the name of his chain of burritoand-beverage joints, Illegal Pete’s.

The name was borrowed from a book Turner read as an English major at University of Colorado Boulder, and paid homage to his father, also named Pete, who helped him launch the first Illegal Pete’s, and who died of cancer only two years later.

Amid the hullaballoo of negative press, Turner was working on something radically positive at Illegal Pete’s, something that could change the way communities support criminally underpaid restaurant workers around the world: providing health care and a living wage for every employee.

It was a lesson he learned from his father.

“It was put into my head by my father,” Turner says. “He was terminally ill with cancer and he always made sure I had health care.”

Turner launched Illegal Pete’s when he was just 23, buoyed by the support from his father, family and friends. Being so young, Turner says that as the company has grown the employees have been his peers, and so he feels an obligation to take care of them, the way his father took care of him in Illegal Pete’s early days. see ILLEGAL PETE’S Page 42

January 10 , 2019 41

ILLEGAL PETE’S from Page 41

Now, 23 years after launching, Illegal Pete’s pays its employees $15 per hour, with an average of $4.72 per hour in tips, $3,800 per year in free food and drinks, paid time off and sick leave, and health care. The change has been years in the making.

“After 15 years [in 2011], we were able to look forward and say, ‘What do we want this business to look like?’”

Turner says.

For the man who had a lot of help

starting his business and whose employees have all been peers, it turned out what he wanted his business to look like one where people took precedence. He noticed a lot of restaurants and competitors paying lip service to this concept, but there were few businesses taking action to support its employees.

“Our industry says people are the most important. Well, let’s treat them like that,” Turner says. “Fast casual [restaurants] were leaders in sustainability,

in farming and disposables. OK, that’s great. We can feel good about pigs, cows and the forks we serve, but we’re not paying our staff enough to live on.”

So he used a tool from MIT to determine living wage in Denver and Boulder and set a target for $17.25 per hour. In the years since launching its living wage initiative, Illegal Pete’s has gone from paying its employees $9 to $15 per hour, representing a $3-million investment in people.

“That’s a big number that goes back into our communities,” Turner says.

He points out research that indicates CEOs of major companies make about 350 times as much as their lowlevel employees. That represents a skewed value system that Turner says has led other businesses to think it’s standard for executives to make excessively more than the people who make their businesses run.

As it turns out, though, paying employees a livable wage has helped Illegal Pete’s raise its bottom line.

“I thought, most of all, it was good business,” Turner says. “We always treated people as well as we could. Our thought was if we redirect that top-line cash flow [as in executive pay] to our staff, it would grow our top line and pay for itself with efficiencies and strong ideas.”

Turner says it costs Illegal Pete’s about $1,500 to train every new frontline employee — cooks, cashiers, bartenders, etc. — and $10,000 to replace a manager. By increasing benefits, Turner says the company has a turnover rate one-quarter of its competitors.

Retaining employees also boosts employees’ investment in the company, and Turner says he’s gotten plenty of ideas of new menu items or tweaks to the customer experience from his longtime employees. It also boosts their attitudes, encouraging them to stick around, which reduces the need to constantly be hiring, a prospect that “depresses” Turner.

“It breaks my heart when we lose an employee,” Turner says. “[Our industry] has these whole recruiting departments because we drive people out.”

Turner has had to look at every line item on the company’s expense sheet over the years to make the wage adjustment possible, but in turn, he’s been able to increase revenue and expand.

Turner says it’s also benefited his company to pay its employees a livable wage because the dining experience at Illegal Pete’s isn’t as much about the quality of its food — and to be clear, there’s nothing wrong with a Pete’s burrito — but about the experience of eating there. As more companies, particularly in the fast casual sector, switch to automation, there’s a new premium on hiring human beings that have the skills to work with and for other people.

“If I’ve got robots making burritos, I’m out of business anyway,” Turner says.

One in 10 Americans work in the food industry. Illegal Pete’s employees represent an infinitesimal portion of that workforce. But if Turner can make a livable wage work for his business, so can others, and if enough businesses buy in, then we might be start to reduce income inequality in this country.

J

anuary marks I HOP IPA’s second anniversary of serving the drinking faithful of Broomfield, Colorado. That’s no small feat in a state crowded with taproom breweries, brewpubs and more sports bars than you can shake a stick at, but I HOP IPA — with a logo of a hop flower in place of the word — offers connoisseur craft drinkers a different experience.

Here, one can sample through a wide range of styles from breweries near and far.

It’s like going to a beer festival, without having to stand in line or worry about getting sunburned.

Located in an unassuming strip mall across Lowell Boulevard from the Broomfield Commons Open Space — should you need to work up or walk off a sudsy session — I HOP IPA seats about 30, has four large TVs playing sports or movies and two video game stations. Card games and board games are also piled high along the bars. You’re welcome to bring outside food in with you, but should you forget, there is a wing shack a few doors down, or you can munch on I HOP IPA’s offering of salty snacks.

But it’s the beer that brought you here, and despite the name, I HOP IPA offers plenty more than just India pale ales. With 20 taps from which to choose — and a few more in the can — drinkers can work their way from sours to weizenbocks and back.

Taking a cue from the letters on the door, start with a classic West Coast-style IPA, 21st Amendment Brewery’s fantastic Brew Free! or Die. Balanced from start to finish, with an enticing color of deep gold, Brew Free offers a fresh hoppy aroma, a snappy mouth, a touch of stone fruit and citrus and a nice long finish. Bitterness is the key here, which balances out the malt and hides the alcohol, making Brew Free a quick quaff at 7 percent alcohol by volume.

There are plenty more options should you stay in the IPA sandbox, but make sure to save room for Odyssey Beerwork’s Simply Red, an IPA brewed with pineapple. The color isn’t quite red — it’s closer to copper — and the nose is dank with hints of ripe fruit. The pineapple shows up most prominently in the mouth, but only mid-palate. Malt and hops start the experience, then fade into sticky pineapple before transforming into bitter hops to clean it all up. It’s a beverage in three acts.

But while IPAs get all the attention, the best beer currently on tap hails from Kulmbach, Germany: Edelherb Pils from Kulmbacher Brauerei. It shouldn’t be a surprise a Bavarian brewery would excel in the pilsner department, but with so many American breweries toying with this style, you’d almost forget how good purity tastes. Crystal clear with earthy hops and honey malt, Edelherb Pils is the kind of beer that will make you glad you found your way to I HOP IPA.

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19: Computer-generated special

effects used in the 1993 film Jurassic Park may seem modest to us now. But at the time they were revolutionary.

Inspired by the new possibilities revealed, filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick, George Lucas and Peter Jackson launched new projects they had previously thought to be beyond their ability to create. In 2019, I urge you to go in quest of your personal equivalent of Jurassic Park’s pioneering breakthroughs. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you may be able to find help and resources that enable you to get more serious about seemingly unfeasible or impractical dreams.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20: I’m a big proponent of authenticity.

I almost always advise you to be yourself with bold candor and unapologetic panache. Speak the truth about your deepest values and clearest perceptions. Be an expert about what really moves you, and devote yourself passionately to your relationships with what really moves you. But there is one exception to this approach. Sometimes it’s wise to employ the “fake it until you make it” strategy: to pretend you are what you want to be with such conviction that you ultimately become what you want to be. I suspect now is one of those times for you.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20: The students’ dining hall at Michigan

State University serves gobs of mayonnaise. But in late 2016, a problem arose when 1250 gallons of the stuff became rancid. Rather than simply throw it away, the school’s Sustainability Officer came up with a brilliant solution: load it into a machine called an anaerobic digester, which turns biodegradable waste into energy. Problem solved! The transformed rot provided electricity for parts of the campus.

I recommend you regard this story as a metaphor for your own use. Is there anything in your life that has begun to decay or lose its usefulness? If so, can you convert it into a source of power?

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22: If you grow vegetables, fruits and

grains on an acre of land, you can feed twelve people. If you use that acre to raise meat-producing animals, you’ll feed at most four people. But to produce the meat, you’ll need at least four times more water and twenty times more electric power than you would if you grew the plants. I offer this as a useful metaphor for you to consider in the coming months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should prioritize efficiency and value. What will provide you with the most bang for your bucks? What’s the wisest use of your resources?

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22: Modern kids don’t spend much time

playing outside. They have fun in natural environments only half as often as their parents did while growing up. In fact, the average child spends less time in the open air than prison inmates. And today’s unjailed adults get even less exposure to the elements. But I hope you will avoid that fate in 2019.

According to my astrological estimates, you need to allocate more than the usual amount of time to feeling the sun and wind and sky. Not just because it’s key to your physical health, but also because many of your best ideas and decisions are likely to emerge while you’re outdoors.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: NASA landed its robotic explorer

Opportunity on Mars in January of 2004. The craft’s mission, which was supposed to last for 92 days, began by taking photos and collecting soil samples. More than 14 years later, the hardy machine was still in operation, continuing to send data back to Earth. It far outlived its designed lifespan. I foresee you being able to generate a comparable marvel in 2019, Virgo: a stalwart resource or influence or situation that will have more staying power than you could imagine.

What could it be?

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: In 1557, Welsh mathematician

Robert Recorde invented the equals sign: =. Historical records don’t tell us when he was born, so we don’t know his astrological sign. But I’m guessing he was a Libra.

Boulder Weekly

Is there any tribe more skillful at finding correlations, establishing equivalencies and creating reciprocity? In all the zodiac, who is best at crafting righteous proportions and uniting apparent opposites? Who is the genius of balance? In the coming months, my friend, I suspect you will be even more adept at these fine arts than you usually are.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21: There’s a modest, one-story office

building at 1209 N. Orange St. in Wilmington, Delaware.

More than 285,000 businesses from all over the U.S. claim it as their address. Why? Because the state of Delaware has advantageous tax laws that enable those businesses to save massive amounts of money. Other buildings in Delaware house thousands of additional corporations.

It’s all legal. No one gets in trouble for it. I bring this to your attention in the hope of inspiring you to hunt for comparable situations: ethical loopholes and workarounds that will provide you with extra benefits and advantages.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 22-DEC. 21: People in the Solomon Islands buy many goods and services with regular currency, but also use other symbols of worth to pay for important cultural events like staging weddings and settling disputes and expressing apologies. These alternate forms of currency include the teeth of flying foxes, which are the local species of bat. In that spirit, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I’d love to see you expand your sense of what constitutes your wealth. In addition to material possessions and funds in the bank, what else makes you valuable? In what other ways do you measure your potency, your vitality, your merit? It’s a favorable time to take inventory.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19: In 1984, singer-songwriter John

Fogerty released a new album whose lead single was “The Old Man Down the Road.” It sold well. But trouble arose soon afterward when Fogerty’s former record company sued him in court, claiming he stole the idea for “The Old Man Down the Road” from “Run Through the Jungle.” That was a tune Fogerty himself had written and recorded in 1970 while playing with the band Creedence Clearwater Revival. The legal process took a while, but he was ultimately vindicated. No, the courts declared, he didn’t plagiarize himself, even though there were some similarities between the two songs. In this spirit, I authorize you to borrow from a good thing you did in the past as you create a new good thing in the future. There’ll be no hell to pay if you engage in a bit of self-plagiarism.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18: Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle

Book is a collection of fables that take place in India.

Three movies have been made based on it. All of them portray the giant talking snake named Kaa as an adversary to the hero Mowgli. But in Kipling’s original stories, Kaa is a benevolent ally and teacher.

I bring this to your attention to provide context for a certain situation in your life. Is there an influence with a metaphorical resemblance to Kaa: misinterpreted by some people, but actually quite supportive and nourishing to you? If so, I suggest you intensify your appreciation for it.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: Virginia Woolf thought that her

Piscean lover Vita Sackville-West was a decent writer, but a bit too fluid and effortless. Self-expression was so natural to Sackville-West that she didn’t work hard enough to hone her craft and discipline her flow. In a letter, Woolf wrote, “I think there are odder, deeper, more angular thoughts in your mind than you have yet let come out.” I invite you to meditate on the possibility that Woolf ’s advice might be useful in 2019. Is there anything in your skill set that comes so easily that you haven’t fully ripened it? If so, develop it with more focused intention.

from taking the opportunity. How can I reach this girl? She knows I love her. I know I’m not wrong. She wants what I want. This love is not something I chose and I’m beginning to resent it.

—In Lasting Love Dear ILL: You are wrong. She does not want what you want. Your gut is lying to you. She is not in love with you. You do not share a connection. You need to listen to her words. She is not tied to the “energy” you are feeling. You have got to stop thinking with your dick. She was probably scared out of her wits when you managed to “find” her alone. You cannot reach this woman. She can sense your resentment and she’s afraid of you. In all honesty, ILL, I’m afraid of you. Just as this poor woman most likely fears becoming one of the many women murdered every year by men they’ve rejected, I fear being the messenger who got shot. But you asked for my advice, ILL, and here it is: Get into therapy. You need help.

And my advice for her, if she sees this, is to do whatever you must to protect yourself — up to and including moving away.

Cannabis and Seasonal Affective Disorder

A

re you depressed or are you just paying attention?

I know this administration makes it difficult to tell the difference, but unfortunately, ski season is back and so is seasonal depression. Since you slept like five hours over the past three days, you might as well just not get out of bed.

When you wake up confused as to where your phone and wallet are just pop a melatonin and roll back over. Ultimate IDGAF. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is an actual thing. It’s more than just the feeling of despair that hits me when I realize I’m still five months away from wearing crop tops and making out with hotties at Red Rocks shows. SAD occurs when the shorter, darker winter days mess with your body’s internal clock. The lack of sunlight can cause your serotonin levels to decrease and disrupts your natural sleep cycle. SAD can manifest in a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, lack of concentration, feelings of hopelessness, lethargy, weight gain, feelings of unhappiness, reduced libido, less desire to be sociable and irritability.

I blame it on all the big holidays and corresponding vacations being packed into the last three months of the year. We suspend ourselves in a fantasy world with bright lights and comfort food and presents, but then the glow fades and we’re left in a frigid black hole of January. It’s dark all the time and suddenly we’re all supposed to pretend like sobriety and working toward being a better human is fun. (It’s not.) And what’s the point of keeping plans with friends when you can curl

Boulder Weekly

up under a weighted blanket nest with Netflix and Postmates? So we’re all just stuck inside being isolated, fat, sad and broke until we get our tax returns.

No one should think they are alone when they are faced with this struggle because so many of us go through it. If winter depression is significantly affecting your work, relationships or overall quality of life, speak to a professional. There are various treatments for SAD, such as medications, therapy, vitamin D supplements and light therapy. Prescribing antidepressants is the most common. However, if your symptoms are relatively mild, here’s how to stop being a sad puppy and reclaim your winter:

Use CBD oil religiously Remember in 2014 when white people discovered coconut oil and acted like it was a cure all for everything? Well, we’re doing it again with CBD oil, but it actually works.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the 60-plus naturally occurring compounds found in all cannabis plants. It has been widely touted in the past couple years for its ability to reduce stress and alleviate depression. To be clear, CBD cannot cure depression.

Rather, studies show that CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, a collection of cell receptors in the human body, which helps to regulate essential human functions such as sleep, appetite, mood, pain and pleasure, among other things.

Similar to SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), CBD may boost signaling through serotonin receptors. When ingested in oil form, CBD

influences brain activity and one byproduct is the release of serotonin and dopamine throughout the body. Insomnia and anxiety are the two major symptoms of SAD that can be treated using CBD. It also helps treat physiological symptoms of anxiety, like nervousness, shaking and increased heart rate. Smoking or vaping CBD-heavy strains, like ACDC and Charlotte’s Web, delivers pain and stress relief without making you feel high or overstimulating your appetite.

Catch an energetic buzz I personally think that smoking weed is one of the best ways of making a miserable existence more tolerable, but it has long been thought that cannabis actually compounds the effects of SAD, as weed has often been labeled a mild depressant. However, certain strains can actually help you get out of bed when the dark sky tricks you into binge napping. As someone who struggles with fatigue, strong sativas have become an essential in my cannabis cabinet. I’ve found strains like Super Silver Haze and Green Crack actually lends energy rather than lethargy.

Having energy gives you the motivation to move your body around and maybe even exercise, which also helps alleviate depression.

Get outside Sure, it’s tempting to stay inside to pout with your bong and space heater all day, but getting as much natural light as you can is imperative when it comes to fighting seasonal depression. If you get home after dark, change your schedule and go enjoy a walk and a joint during your lunch break instead — the Vitamin D from the sun will boost your energy. People suffering from SAD typically gain weight, which makes you more tired, which makes you want to stay inside — it’s an awful cycle. If you outline a schedule that enables you to consistently get outside and expose yourself to daylight, it will definitely help improve your mental outlook.

More tales from the depths of the desk

H

ere are another two stories that bobbed to the surface of my desk and deserve to be retold.

Scientists at McGill University in Canada established that the same brain-chemical system that mediates feelings of pleasure from sex, recreational drugs and food is also critical to experiencing musical pleasure.

The work focused on the brain’s natural opioids instead of its natural cannabinoids — more research is needed, in other words — but it also used human subjects instead of mice.

“This is the first demonstration that the brain’s own opioids are directly involved in musical pleasure,” according to cognitive psychologist Daniel Levitin, who was the senior author of the paper on the work, which was published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.

The McGill team selectively and temporarily blocked opioid receptors in the brain with the drug naltrexone, which is used in treating a number of addictions.

The researchers then measured participants’ responses to music. They found that even the participants’ favorite songs no longer elicited feelings of pleasure.

“The findings, themselves, were

Boulder Weekly

what we hypothesized,” Levitin said.

“But the anecdotes — the impressions our participants shared with us after the experiment — were fascinating. One said: ‘I know this is my favorite song, but it doesn’t feel like it usually does.’

Another: ‘It sounds pretty, but it’s not doing anything for me.’”

Hopefully similar studies will be conducted on how endocannabinoids — the brain’s natural cannabinoids — are involved in musical pleasure. It’s pretty obvious they are involved; listening to music while high is one of the near-universally shared experiences of stoners. Teasing out which of the dozens of cannabinoids in pot contribute to music appreciation could suggest how

to optimize pot strains for concertgoers — and, who knows, maybe even different strains for Mozart and metal.

• • • • And here’s a story that I totally missed last year. Remember when Mexico’s Supreme Court legalized marijuana at the end of October? It turns out that the Constitutional Court of South Africa did the same thing in September.

The South African court ruled, “It will not be a criminal offense for an adult person to use or be in possession of cannabis in private for his or her personal consumption.”

The ruling was unanimous and binding on the government, which had argued that marijuana was “harmful” to people’s health — evidently overlooking the fact that South African prisons ain’t exactly health spas.

The three marijuana users who had brought the case, and who faced prosecution for using pot, argued that the ban “intrudes unjustifiably into their private spheres.”

According to the BBC, the ruling focused “on the issue of privacy, and a person’s right to do as they please in their own home.”

This appears to have a somewhat different basis than the one used by the Mexican Supreme Court, which ruled

that Mexico’s anti-marijuana laws violated a person’s right to “the free development of personality.”

The latter is a right that is explicitly stated in both the Mexican Constitution and the UN’s Declaration of Human Rights.

It’s unknown if the South African Constitution contains an explicit “right to privacy” clause.

It is known that the United States Constitution does not have a clause protecting privacy. And given the cavalier way that both government and businesses, especially high tech businesses, treat people’s private information and intrude into peoples’s private conduct, it desperately needs one.

The late CU anthropology professor John Greenway once suggested that different cultures sometimes play cultural ping-pong. The example he gave was Henry David Thoreau’s concept of “civil disobedience” being adopted by Mahatma Gandhi as “passive resistance” against British rule in India, and Gandhi’s passive resistance re-crossing the Atlantic and being adopted by Martin Luther King, Jr. to fight racial segregation in the U.S. The decisions by the Supreme Courts in both Mexico and South Africa in the marijuana cases show that the U.S. could learn some things from younger republics when it comes to protecting human rights if it has the wit to do so. And that when it comes to protecting privacy, the cultural pingpong ball is now in our court.
