Top rEasons To lEavE FacEBook By Erica Thompson

This month, countless Facebook users received a warning that their accounts had been cloned, and were instructed to forward the message. The viral hoax spread across Facebook messenger, and timelines were ﬂooded with numerous “it wasn’t me” status updates about the fake messages. And that prompted people to declare they were done with Facebook … on Facebook. Here are some top reasons you should really be done, even though we know you won’t leave.

You’ve been compromised How many security breaches does it take to get you off Facebook? Right around the time of the cloned account hoax, Facebook announced another security issue: About 30 million people had their accounts hacked by attackers who “exploited a vulnerability in Facebook’s code.” Oh, and there was that little ﬁasco involving 87 million Facebook users having their data harvested by a political consulting ﬁrm. Holocaust deniers and hate groups In an interview last summer, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg addressed Holocaust deniers on Facebook, stating, “I don’t believe that our platform should take that down because I think there are things that different people get wrong. I don’t think

that they’re intentionally getting it wrong.” His comments did not do much to quell accusations that the social network has become a hotbed for hate groups. The pivot-to-video push Remember when multiple media companies made a big stink about pivoting to video, a move that led to numerous journalists being laid off in the process? Well, recently it was revealed that Facebook knowingly inﬂated the video-view statistics that caused media organizations to make the switch. Cool. No one sees anything anymore I miss the days when you could expect 10 percent of your Facebook audience to see your posts. If you operate a Facebook page, you’ll know that getting your message out to your fans has become a hopeless endeavor as the platform emphasizes more content from friends, family and groups. We get it; Facebook wants brands to pay to play. But for local news sites with shrinking budgets, the shift is a catastrophe. That

Facebook’s “Keep it local” campaign excludes media only rubs salt in the wound. “Poking” still exists We still don’t know what it is or why it was created. Missing link preview photos If you operate a page, you’ll know that it is often impossible to get a photo to show up when you post a link. And your “Debugger” itself is useless, Facebook. And you can no longer edit headline/subhead text. “Seen” notiﬁcation on Facebook Messenger Social media plays to our worst impulses, and the “seen” notiﬁcation on Facebook Messenger is a culprit. Who has felt anxiety when someone has “seen” their message, but chooses not to respond? Or who has felt anxiety when you accidentally click a message you want to ignore, and now you feel you have to respond because they know you saw it? Anyone? Just me? The kids aren’t on it Maybe it’s a good thing if you’re a get-off-my-lawn

type, but young people gravitating toward other social networks means Facebook is over. Now can we just get Kylie Jenner to publicly disparage Facebook so it can ﬁnally die? Facebook posts about leaving Facebook Stop announcing you’re leaving Facebook and just go. You always come back anyway. And stop telling us you’re cleaning up your friends list and just unfriend me.

Depression There has been a lot of debate about the inﬂuence of Facebook on depression, but past studies have shown a link. We often put the best versions of ourselves on the site, and judge our real selves against others’ idealized images. Trauma For me, seeing auto-play video of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile being killed by police in 2016 on my timeline was a turning point in my relationship with Facebook. Since then, I feel it has been a steady source of trauma, and I try to ﬁlter my timeline as much as possible. Still, there’s really no escaping it unless I disengage completely. It’s a time-suck Despite Zuckerberg’s warm-and-fuzzy claims of bringing us all together, Facebook is really keeping you away from meaningful interactions with loved ones. So log off and go spend time with them.

Ismail Mohamed greets U.S. Senator Cory It’s hard to find exact, Booker in October. or reliable, figures on the number of Somalis in Columbus. Mohamed estimates the community to be around 40,000 to 50,000 members, making this city the second-mostpopulous home for Somalis in the U.S. (Minnesota, in contrast, has around 100,000 Somalis, mostly in Minneapolis.) Likewise, no data really exists for the number of registered Somali voters in Columbus, but Mohamed says that there are “at least 10,000 Somali voters, and around 60 percent of them vote, maybe even higher during a presidential year.” Of those registered SomaliAmerican voters, he noted that “all vote Democratic, Mohamed went door knocking for Hillary except for a super tiny number of RepubClinton’s presidential campaign in 2016, lican Somali voters.” a few Somalis — both males and females Voter turnout is a challenge for any — told him they did not feel comfortable group, especially during a midterm year. voting for a female candidate.

In work; I don’t know how to vote or reach comparison, the 60 percent voter turnout the polling station; I am not sure if it is among registered Somali American is Islamically permissible to vote; I don’t actually quite high. But for Mohamed, it’s think any of the candidates actually care still too low, and he has now made it his about us. mission to change this fact. “Some of the reasons why Somalis “You can reach some Somalis in the don’t vote are frustrating,” Mohamed mosques or at the coffee shops, but a lot of said. “But I need to be patient and not people want you to sit in their living room, condescending.

Besides, I relate to that feeling some It can be a difficult sell, though, as there are widespread misperceptions within Somalis have, that elected officials don’t care about us.

It is about making a case for why — and how — the south of Somalia, forcing Mohamed Somalis can benefit from the U.S. political and his family to flee as refugees, first to system. In order to do this, he often has to Ethiopia and later to Kenya. challenge what he calls “outdated ideas” in While in Kenya, Mohamed and his the Somali community. For example, when family briefly stayed in a refugee camp

before moving into an apartment building in the capital city of Nairobi. They were able to settle into a decent life, Mohamed believes, because his family was not poor. In the early 1990s, Mohamed’s father began working in the trucking business in the United Arab Emirates and then in the U.S., which enabled him to send money back to his family. During the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Mohamed’s father spent two years stationed with U.S. armed forces working as an Arabic translator. As a result of his service to U.S. troops, Mohamed’s father was granted American citizenship. In 2005, he sponsored Mohamed, Mohamed’s mother, and Mohamed’s six siblings to settle in Columbus, where he was living at the time, on a refugee visa. But the transition to life in Ohio was difﬁcult for Mohamed, who was 13 when he arrived in Columbus. “I had some rough times,” Mohamed said, taking a long pause to collect his thoughts. “I mean, it was the ﬁrst time I realized, ‘OK, I am not like the others.’ In Kenya, we were all black, so we never really noticed or talked about skin color. Here, I was told I am black almost right away. But I didn’t really know the history, or the meaning, of that word, or have an appreciation for it.” What complicated matters, Mohamed said, was that elders in the Somali community kept telling him, “No, Ismail, you

smail Mohamed is, by his own admission, an unusual emerging voice in Ohio politics and in the Somali community of Columbus. First, there is his age. The 26-year-old, Somalia-born Mohamed graduated from Ohio State University Law School last year and often hears pushback from Somalis in Columbus that he is not ready for politics. According to Mohamed, electoral politics is usually the domain of older people among Somalis, something he says has to do with the fact that the minimum age to be president of Somalia is 40. But the other, more unlikely reason for Mohamed’s political rise is that he just lost an election. In May, Mohamed ran in the Democratic primary against the incumbent, Rep. Bernadine Kennedy Kent, to represent the 25th district in the Ohio Statehouse. It was his first time contesting an election, and many expected him to be soundly defeated, given his lack of experience and name recognition. To the surprise of many, including himself, he ended up losing only by 658 votes to the incumbent, who received 45.71 percent of the vote compared with Mohamed’s 39.68 percent. If he had won, Mohamed would have been the first Somali elected official in Ohio. As a result of his strong showing in the polls, Mohamed was made an official consultant to the Democratic Party of Columbus, helping Democrats reach out to immigrants who have recently acquired U.S. citizenship. It’s a huge shift from a year ago, when Mohamed could not convince anyone in the Democratic Party to take him seriously, let alone return his phone calls. He achieved this, Mohamed believes, because he employed an electoral strategy that no one thought possible: by mobilizing voters, and funds, entirely from the Somali community. Mohamed estimates that he raised about $35,000 for his campaign, all of it from the Somali community in Columbus. Somali-owned businesses made up the bulk of his donations, with contributions around $500 or $1,000. He spent most of the money on mailers and advertisements, some in English, others in Somali. “My campaign and the way I ran it got a lot of Democrats to wake up and say, ‘We need to take this Somali community seriously,’” Mohamed said. “I mean, it’s not like we are a small community.”

are not black. You are Somali.” At school, Mohamed was also teased about his “funny sounding name.” Things were, he added, “infinitely worse” for his sisters, all of whom wear the Islamic headscarf known as the hijab. “As a guy, I have it much easier than my sisters. I am decent looking. I can speak English. I can sort of blend in. But I don’t know a single Muslim woman in Columbus who wears the hijab who hasn’t faced harassment,” Mohamed said. A few years later, at the age of 16, Mohamed volunteered for the Barack Obama 2008 presidential campaign. He credits his mother for instilling in him a passion for politics, as well as for encouraging him to improve conditions for Somalis in Columbus. While an undergraduate and law student, Mohamed was active in the Somali students’ association at Ohio State and was instrumental in helping Somali students cope with the backlash some experienced after a knife attack by a Somali student on campus in 2016. According to Mohamed, the OSU administration was supportive of Somali students in the wake of the attack, and he realized he could play a role connecting university officials with the Somali community. It was also around this time, in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s presidential win, that Mohamed set his eyes on a career in politics. But given his unmistakably Muslim name, Mohamed assumed his role would have to be off to the side, away from the spotlight. That changed, though, when he began noticing Somali-Americans making waves in Minnesota politics. In 2010, Hussein Samatar became the first Somali-American ever elected to office when he joined the Minneapolis school board. In 2013, Abdi Warsame was the first Somali-American elected to the Minneapolis City Council. This August, Ilhan Omar — a Somali-American woman who wears the hijab — won the Congressional Democratic primary in Minneapolis, which will, in all likelihood, make her the first Somali-American to serve in the U.S. Congress. Last year, Mohamed decided to visit Minneapolis to understand why Somalis were politically succeeding there but not so much in Columbus. He returned with two sobering conclusions: The first is that Somalis have been absorbed and embraced by the Democratic Party of Minnesota in ways they haven’t been by the Democratic

Party in Columbus; and the second is that Minneapolis has the ward system for electing candidates, compared with Columbus’ at-large electoral system, which tends to disfavor communities of color. “That’s the biggest challenge, if I am being honest,” Mohamed said. “The way we elect candidates here.”

tefanie Chambers is an associate professor of political science at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, and author of the book Somalis in the Twin Cities and Columbus. She completed her doctoral work at Ohio State and believes that affordable housing, low-skilled warehouse jobs, as well as a tradition of welcoming refugees, is partly to explain why Somalis settled in Minneapolis and Columbus in such large numbers in the 1990s. She pointed out that, according to the latest U.S. Census numbers, there are 12,227 Somalis in Columbus, compared with the actual total of around 45,000.

She attributes the discrepancy to “general U.S. Census undercounts, secondary migration, and reluctance among some Somalis to respond to requests for household information.” She also concurs with Mohamed that structural barriers make it difﬁcult for Somalis, and other communities of color, to excel in Columbus politics. “If you have somebody who’s SomaliAmerican running for ofﬁce, they have to convince the entire city to vote for them, which is costly and challenging, compared to in Minneapolis where a ward with a heavy Somali population can elect a Somali-American from that ward to represent them,” Chambers said. There are other factors, she added. In Minneapolis, there are more foundations that support Somalis, as well as powerful labor unions where Somalis can meet and organize, such as the taxi driver associations. It also helps that the DemocraticFarmer-Labor party, as the Democratic Party is known in Minnesota, has taken an interest in mentoring Somalis, something the Democratic Party has not really done

in Ohio. And then, of course, there is the obvious fact that Minnesota is a blue-ish state whereas Ohio tends to lean red. And yet, while Minneapolis has a sizable number of Somali-American elected ofﬁcials, Chambers noted that the Somali community there suffers from the same problems as the one in Columbus: high unemployment, lack of literacy, school dropout, fears of Islamophobia and antiimmigrant sentiments, as well as an alarming rise in Somali-on-Somali gang violence. Chambers, who is now working on a documentary ﬁlm called “Dreaming in Somali,” says it is “almost unbearable” to think of what many Somalis endure in the U.S. right now. “They are black, they are refugees, and they are Muslim,” she said. “It’s hard enough to be one of those things, let alone all three.” In June 2017, a brawl broke out in Columbus between a white couple and at least two Somali-American Muslims, BuzzFeed reported. One of the women, Rahma Warsame, who wears the Islamic

headscarf, was beaten so badly that she lost four teeth and suffered facial fractures. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) believes the incident was a hate crime because it said the woman who was beaten was taunted by racist language from the white male assailant. Columbus police said there was no evidence of a hate crime occurring. According to CAIR, hate crimes against Muslims in the U.S. occurred on average almost one per day in 2017, up 15 percent from the previous year. In comparison, there were 93 attacks in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to the Pew Research Center. On top of this, Somalis are often tied to extremist Muslim groups abroad. Chambers noted that “since 9/11, Somalis have also faced accusations that they are terrorists and have experienced hostility stemming from suspicions about their ties to al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda, and ISIS.” For the 500 or so Somali-owned businesses in the Columbus area, as well as countless other Somalis here, that means being extra cautious when sending money to their loved ones in Somalia, something that has created a culture of secrecy within the Somali community here. Indeed, Chambers’ experience of interviewing Somalis in Columbus mirrored my own: Most Somalis did not want to speak with her, even anonymously on background. However, after she published her book and they knew their quotes would not be used in it, some

came forward with “heartbreaking stories of how fearful they are,” Chambers said. This past June, I began visiting a predominantly Somali mosque in Columbus, a massive place about the size of a Best Buy. It was the height of the World Cup tournament, and most of my conversations with the Somali men gathered in the parking lot after Friday prayers were about soccer, even though I tried, after a few trips to the mosque, to steer the conversation to current events. Finally, one young Somali man, who asked that I do not mention his name, told me that since I am also a Muslim, he would be “straight up honest” with me. “Just don’t write about Somalis in Columbus,” he said. “Attention on us has always caused us harm.” It’s an eerie comment that reveals a sentiment all too common in the Somali community: That they are a community who is welcome in America so long as they do not make themselves, or their concerns, known. Mohamed does not share this view. For him, greater exposure, as well as an awareness of what Somalis experience, is key to helping Somalis advance. In fact, for the past 10 years, he has tried on numerous occasions to reach out to elected ofﬁcials, both Republican and Democrat, so that they can learn about the conditions of Somalis in Columbus. Almost all refused. Chambers is not surprised by this tepid response. “The electoral system is sort of set up in Columbus where entire communi-

ties can be ignored,” she said. “It’s why I am so excited that Ismail almost won. Elected ofﬁcials need to be informed about the Somali community because, let’s face it, unless Ismail or someone like him is in ofﬁce, they won’t really reach out on their own.”

hen Mohamed and I first met in early July, his mood was a bit somber. It was soon after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s travel ban, which targets seven mostly Muslim majority nations, including Somalia. Mohamed’s second cousin, who lives in the U.S., was struggling to figure out how, or if, she could ever see her husband again, given that he lives in Somalia. Mohamed’s legal specialization is actually in personal injury law, not immigration, and he was scrambling to figure out how to help. He was also struggling to keep up with the flood of requests from Somalis across Ohio asking him for advice about Trump’s travel ban. Although he can’t really prove this fact, he figures he is the only Somali bar certified lawyer in Ohio, or at least the only Somali speaking lawyer in the state. Herein might be his biggest challenge: figuring out what to take on and what to decline. He hates that he has to make this choice, but he realizes this is the responsibility of being, in his words, “the first Somali this or that.” In early October, Mohamed and I spoke again and the shift in his mood was palpable. These days, he exudes a giddy, infectious optimism. He sounds, at times, like a cross between a hype-man for the Democratic Party and a commercial on the importance of voting.

At the moment, he is helping Democratic candidate Rich Cordray’s gubernatorial campaign. Cordray recently attended an event put on for him in Columbus by the Somali community in which Cordray name-dropped Mohamed in his speech. Mohamed has also been contacted by federal, state and city candidates who all want his help in the upcoming midterm elections. On Oct. 12, he organized a meet-and-greet event for U.S. Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey with the Somali community of Columbus at a Somali-owned cafe. “I am really pleased,” Mohamed said. “Democrats are really stepping up their outreach to Somalis.” I asked Mohamed if Republicans were making similar overtures to the Somali community and Mohamed said he was “not aware of anything.” He would not be opposed to it, though, as Mohamed’s game is not so much ideological as it is about getting Somalis in the room and seen and heard by elected officials. So far, his efforts are already paying dividends. Much to his delight, some of Mohamed’s Somali friends in Columbus have decided to run for office, perhaps as early as 2020. He also recently learned that there is a Somali-American college student in Cleveland who might be starting law school soon. What, I asked him, would he tell this Somali-American student, if he could find her? “Do it,” he said. “We need your voice. And also, I don’t want to be the only one.” Zahir Janmohamed is pursuing an MFA in fiction at the University of Michigan. He lived in Columbus from 2017 to 2018.

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, October 18, 2018

n September 2016, comics super-fan Allen Harrington checked one item off his bucket list: seeing Stan Lee live. Lee, the Marvel Universe co-creator, was speaking at the Cincinnati Comic Expo, so Allen and his then-ﬁancee, Nia, purchased the VIP package. The event started off predictable enough. “The fans are talking to each other, trying to out-nerd each other,” Allen recalled. “And someone was like, ‘Hey, you know Stan’s a licensed minister?’ I’m like, ‘Oh, is he now?’” At the close of the Q&A session, Allen addressed Lee. “I was like, ‘I have two questions. One, are you a licensed minister? And two, if you are, will you marry me and my ﬁancee?’” Allen said. “And he said yes.” As captured on YouTube, the comics icon proceeded to marry the couple. Following a cosplay wedding shower — Allen and Nia dressed as Max and Roxanne from “A Goofy Movie” — the two had a proper ceremony in September 2017. Now, more than a year later, they’ve embarked on another venture: The pair opened Krazzy Comics store in Gahanna on Oct. 17.

“Some people don’t feel comfortable going to every comics store because there’s a stigma that everybody is the Comic Book Guy from ‘The Simpsons,’ like we’re all stuck up and elitist and not willing to share knowledge. That’s not us.” Allen HArringTOn “My start was with DC [Comics],” Nia said. “And then, of course, dating him, I couldn’t get away from morning cartoons, comics.” “But I love it,” she continued. “He gets me everything Harley Quinn, so I appreciate that.” Having a comics store owned by people of color contributes to a growing diversity in the local comics scene, home to SOL-CON: The Brown and Black Comix Expo, and the Black Nerd Problems website. “It’s bubbling here,” Allen said. “There’s a lot of black nerds here who just need that outlet. Some people don’t feel comfortable going to every comics store because there’s a stigma that everybody is the Comic Book Guy from ‘The Simpsons,’ like we’re all stuck up and elitist and not willing to share knowledge. That’s not us.” By contrast, the Harringtons have future plans to offer a free class on the history of comics. They will also display local art in their back hallway, Artist Alley. “We really want to be involved with the community and support other local businesses,” Nia said. Through the process of opening the store, the couple learned working as a husband-wife team has its pros and cons. “[With] every team, sometimes you have friction,” Allen said. “Like sometimes there’s breakdowns in communication, but it’s a little different when it’s your spouse. You have to be a little bit more tactful about things, but overall I actually think that it made things a little bit easier because we already have that connection and that rapport with each other.” And their collective passion for comics can only help them foster a love for the medium in their customers. “There’s a book up on that wall for everybody,” Allen said. “The goal is to make it all-inclusive.”

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, October 18, 2018

“There’s already a semi-market here,” Allen said. “There’s already people who’ve been waiting for a comics store, and they don’t want to have to travel.” According to Allen, the other comic stores in town are not threatened by customers who might want to travel to the new shop. “You would think it’d be highly competitive, but it’s not,” he said. Tucked in a plaza at 5544 N. Hamilton Rd., Krazzy Comics exudes fun with its purple and green walls, arcade machines and a giant Marvel Infinity Gauntlet that was front and center during Alive’s recent visit. The starter inventory is impressive; patrons will find introductory titles in a Kids Corner, a selection of DC and Marvel comics, a special interest section, a $15-and-under rack and figurines, including a wall of Funko Pop! characters. A second room contains a row of long storage boxes of comic books (mostly $1). A Media Room, with a striking comic-book floor pattern and a superhero cutout for selfies, will host events as well as Allen’s podcast, “Uncanny Nerdverse.” Allen was introduced to comics in kindergarten when a D.A.R.E. officer visited with copies of Spider-Man, Storm and Power Man. Allen didn’t think much of it until he was around 10 years old, when his father took him to a comic store in the now-closed Scarborough Mall. “I was like, ‘Oh, this is where these characters came from,’” he said. “And then shortly after that, the X-Men cartoon came out in the ’90s.” Allen also began reading character bios on the back of action figure boxes. “I was piecing things together from the cartoons, from toys [and] looking at the pictures in the books,” he said. A foray into music took Allen’s attention away from comics for a while. But several years ago, he began seeking out YouTube videos to catch up on what he missed. And he started frequenting comics shops again.

First, let’s start with a disclaimer: Columbus is still a relatively cheap place to live compared with other U.S. cities. Despite being the 32nd-largest metro area in the country, rental costs in the city are only 61st-highest among the top 100 largest metro areas, coming in at only $1,350 on average, according to Zillow rent data. That being said, many people in Columbus are still burdened by rent. According to a study released by the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University last year, more than 40 percent of Columbus renters are “cost burdened” by rent, meaning more than 30 percent of their income is going to rent. Ultimately, housing in the United States is a commodity good. It is bought and sold on the private market and is subject to pressures of supply and demand. In addition to being a commodity good, the housing market is also heavily regulated. Some of these regulations are in the name of equity, such as zoning regulations that separate health-hazardous industry from residential areas. Many of these regulations, though, serve more selﬁsh purposes. One of the most important effects of local zoning policy is its impact on housing prices. Restricting the supply of housing will increase the price of housing. And local homeowners, who

are more likely to vote and sit on local zoning boards, are more likely to favor more restrictions on housing development that will increase the value of their homes. You may have heard this phenomenon referred to as “NIMBYism,” short for “Not In My Back Yard.” NIMBYism is not owned by a political ideology. Research shows that conservatives are eager to regulate new housing development in their neighborhoods. Surveys also show that liberals who voice support for pro-poor policies also oppose new development, even after being told that building more housing can ease rent burdens for lowincome residents. Experts see liberalization of local zoning as a key tool for reduction of inequality in our cities. Jason Furman, former chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, argues that zoning regulations can make communities more unequal, less diverse and less mobile. Brookings land-use analyst Jenny Schuetz argues that these regulations

hurt economic growth and disproportionately affect young workers, the poor and people of color. Despite the evidence of the negative impacts of overly restrictive zoning on both the efﬁciency and equity of local housing markets, the local zoning system is incredibly entrenched. Homeowners largely control the process. That being said, there are things Columbus can do to ﬁght NIMBYism. City Council and other local municipal governments can support higher-density development, encouraging town houses, duplexes and apartments where they might otherwise zone for single-family. City governments should also set goals for housing supply, working with local economic development consultants to meet the demand for housing in our quickly growing metro area. Politically, this may mean renters would have to stand up to entrenched, powerful homeowners, but as a group they have little to lose and much to gain from reform.

Trick or TrEaT your way Through QuEEr and Trans hisTory By Joy Ellison

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, October 18, 2018

Halloween is deliciously queer. When I was a child, Halloween was a perfect excuse to wear gender nonconforming outﬁts in public. Now, it’s a great reason for a party, a scary movie and an attempt to hex homophobic politicians. Halloween doesn’t just seem a little queer; the holiday has a surprisingly historical signiﬁcance to the LGBTQ community. Test your knowledge of Halloween Queer and Trans History with this quiz:

Trick: Which famous LGBTQ leaders met on Halloween night in 1963? A. Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin, founders of Daughters of Bilitis B. James Baldwin and Lorraine Hansberry, black queer literary luminaries C. Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson, founders of Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries Treat: c. Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson, two transgender women of color who were key participants in the Stonewall Riots, met on Halloween night in New York City. Rivera was with a group of Latina queens when she spotted Johnson. “This one queen named Louisa snatched Marsha’s wig,” she wrote. “Well, Marsha wasn’t going to have it. When she caught up to Louisa up on 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue she beat the living daylights out of

Phyllis Lyon (left) and Del Martin, founders of Daughters of Bilitis her.” Later, Johnson introduced herself to Rivera and took her out to eat. They began a friendship that served as the basis for their ground-breaking organizing for queer and transgender liberation. Trick: Which laws criminalizing LGBTQ people were often relaxed on Halloween? A.Restrictions against serving alcohol to LGBTQ people B. Anti-crossdressing ordinances C. Prohibitions against dancing with a person of the same gender Treat: b. Anti-crossdressing ordinances In many US cities, including Columbus, local laws restricted wearing clothing that did not correspond to one’s assigned birth gender until the 1970s. These laws effectively criminalized the existence of transgender people, butches and other gender non-conforming queer people. They especially impacted poor transgender women and people of color. Yet, on Halloween

these laws were relaxed in many locations. Of course, cops still had plenty of other legal means to harass transgender and queer people. Nonetheless, this history helps to explain the signiﬁcance of this holiday to our communities. Trick: Which future U.S. president was protested by a picket line of costumed ACT UP demonstrators on Halloween in 1989? A. Ronald Reagan B. Bill Clinton C. Donald Trump Treat: c. Donald Trump wasn’t a politician in 1989, but queer and trans people already knew that he was a threat. ACT UP, one of the ﬁrst AIDS-related organizations in the United States, protested at Trump Tower, claiming that Donald Trump’s discriminatory practices as a real estate tycoon were contributing to the lack of affordable housing options for people living with HIV. Demonstrators wore costumes and carried signs with slogans like “Nightmare on Trump Street.”

North Clintonville’s become more of a hotspot for restaurants lately, but did you know that there’s something else brewing there? It’s the up-andcoming, Fun & Games District, made up of long-time shops like the The Laughing Ogre, The Soldiery Games & Cards, Play It! Games Movies & Music, and Robbie’s Hobbies, and newer businesses Trapped and Tabletop Game Cafe. “One of the things I like about our current collaboration is our opportunity to show how much fun Clintonville is. There’s so many unique small businesses here, and the city is starting to find that out”, explains Gib Bickel, The Laughing Ogre manager. Outsiders might worry about promoting potential competitors but The Soldiery Games & Cards’ Heather DuLuard doesn’t agree, “Obviously, we have the most similarity with Tabletop but we have customers that come here to purchase a game that they tried there and during packed events we recommend Tabletop. There is a lot of crossover themes with comics, video games, and movies so we can all offer something special to our customers.” Beyond just walk-up business, Aaron Brown, of Tabletop, lauds the opportunities with corporate clients and group events. “Being able to package our team-building outings or birthday parties with a premium experience like Trapped’s escape rooms is game changing.” Chris Sebastian, co-owner of Play It!, says it’s more beneficial than just events and cross-promotion, “We’re in a far different retail marketplace then we were in even five years ago.

the Birth of a Legend By Justin Mcintosh

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, October 18, 2018

Three letters on a message-board post. Someone can tell Billy Joel that’s what started the ﬁre. “AAA.” That’s soccermessage-board code for LEGIT, and also URGENT, and also HOLY S*** IT’S HAPPENING. The post containing those letters went live sometime around 9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 6. Soon other message-board posters started spreading the news on other social media sites. Within 90 minutes, its tremors were felt on Twitter, Facebook and Reddit. That’s quite an inﬂuential post, and since it’s how I initially found out the Crew could be saved, that’s where I’ll start.

10:56 a.m. After finding out from a friend that “AAA” is message-board code for rating how good and trustworthy a particular piece of information is, I rush to BigSoccer. com. Buried among some 34,000 other posts in a thread that stretched for nearly 1,400 pages, I find the post by the board’s so-called IM, or Inside Man. He’s suggesting Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is going to buy the Crew, and since I’m a lifelong Browns fan, I’m incredibly conflicted. I want the Crew to be saved. But the Browns are, well, the Browns. 11:33 a.m. I go on a coffee walk to think things out, and grow more optimistic and amped. I want to high-five strangers.

Save The Crew supporters gather at Endeavor Brewing Company 1:03 p.m. #SaveTheCrew tweets an image with “Saved the Crew” and the caption: “We ALL did this. Together. #SaveTheCrew #SavedTheCrew” My head spins. 1:04–2:39 p.m. I hit refresh on three different tabs (i.e., Twitter, Big Soccer and Facebook) like a bazillion times. My ﬁngers now ache. 2:40 p.m. I’m too antsy to work, my colleagues tell me. Relieved, I clear my schedule and rush to Endeavor Brewing in Grandview to be surrounded by other fans. 2:55 p.m. At Endeavor, I’m met at the doorway by a wall of people. Somehow I make it through the horde and get to the bar before 3 p.m., when the announcement is supposed to come. 2:58 p.m. I learn the announcement isn’t coming. I offer cheers to some randoms near me and drink my beer anyway. Outside the news of nonews spreads throughout

the patio. The jubilant mood remains unchanged. 3:14 p.m. Back inside, I take a picture of Crew SC defender Josh Williams at a table with fans. I also recall seeing Crew SC forward Adam Jahn already, along with former Crew forward Dante Washington. The enormity of the day so far hits me. This is bonkers. 5:15 p.m. It’s not quite what we were hoping for, but ﬁnally, the ofﬁcial Cleveland Browns Twitter account releases a statement from Dee and Jimmy Haslam detailing their interest in buying the Crew. The crowd is already so loud it’s impossible to tell if they know. But that does it for me. Content with the announcement, I head home, thrilled that in some small way my life can return to normal. On the way home, I notice I don’t feel relieved or ecstatic or overly emotional, but rather content. The Crew is home among family, and the team will be for the foreseeable future. Just as it should be.

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, October 18, 2018

Museums I love wandering through galleries, discovering artists new to me, considering new ideas, slowing down and gathering inspiration. I also love working in the museum ﬁeld, collaborating with artists and having the opportunity to reimagine how art museums can lead the kinds of engagement that matter both now and for the future. I’m currently writing this from Minneapolis, where I’m convening with colleagues at MASS Action (Museum As Site for Social Action), and I’m excited to be part of CMA as we enhance our role as a place for social discourse by launching the Center for Art and Social Engagement in 2019.

The Window Cafe I love this little, donation-based coffee house in Franklin Park. The owner, Billy, plans to open a full shop down the street, but got started serving the community earlier this summer. He literally opened a window on the side of his house and invited neighbors to enjoy a small menu of coffee and homemade breakfast items. The cafe even started hosting community conversations and highlighting neighbors that are artists and musicians on Sundays. Cooking I love everything about food and the stories it can tell. The history and politics of food, the traditions and stories that are passed down from previous generations, the flavors, the experimentation — I love all of it.

There’s nothing quite like an evening of cooking for and with friends. Creative thinkers I love the role artists play to imagine, question, connect and explore. Creatives question business as usual. They act and do hard things. They don’t wait to be invited to the table. They collaborate, lift up others doing meaningful work and STAY BUSY. The Libby app It’s a game changer. I’ve been telling everyone about it. You can connect to your public library account and download audio and e-books for free. You can even send library books to your Kindle. My goal is to simultaneously download the same audio and e-book so that I can get through my long reading list faster.

Barbra Streisand I’m about to sound like a teenager reacting to old music on YouTube, but, dear lord, Barbra Streisand can sing. Look, growing up I was told she was a legend, and I saw Rosie O’Donnell freaking out over Streisand on her show, but I never really engaged the legendary singer’s work. But recently, I watched the 1976 version of “A Star Is Born,” starring Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. While the plot and character development were ... lacking, I was blown away by Streisand’s voice. Everyone talks about “Evergreen,” and that was lovely, but her performance of “With One More Look at You”/”Watch Closely Now” at the end literally left my mouth open. —Erica Thompson The Boston Celtics Last year, the opening night of the NBA season was kind of a nightmare for this Celtics fan, watching new addition Gordon Hayward go down with a gruesome ankle injury just minutes after tip-off. This year, 364 days after that fall, Gordon made his return to a loaded Cs team that also sports a healthy Kyrie Irving, along with fellow starters Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Al Horford — any or all of whom could make the AllStar team this season. Against the Philadelphia Sixers, Boston looked like it could develop into a dominant force this season. Despite sub-par games from Irving and Hayward, who both appeared to be shaking off significant rust — the Celtics won going away. The Cs are going to be a problem for the East this season, and I could see the team giving Golden State a serious run for the title. —Andy Downing John Bryan State Park Last weekend I went on a quick overnight camping trip with some guys to John Bryan State Park near Yellow Springs. I didn’t see a whole lot of the park, to be honest. The overnight consisted mostly of sitting around the fire eating grilled meats and refilling my camp cup with bourbon. It was cold and drizzly most of the night, and raccoons ransacked the food, but none of that dampened the mood. I haven’t laughed that hard that many times in a while. It was a good reminder that sometimes all you need is a good fire and some downtime. (Also bourbon.) —Joel Oliphint

ecent news headlines have been dominated by affairs unfolding on a global scale. Against this backdrop, it’s easy to view the most recent Atmosphere album, Mi Vida Local, as a type of counterprogramming, the rapper/producer team of Slug and

Atmosphere immersing themselves in a song cycle born of life within their Minneapolis home, as though the persistent planetary chaos had inspired the pair to seek out comfort among friends, family and townsfolk. This, it turns out, was not quite the case. “I mean, I love that, but that’s way thicker than anything I thought of,” said Slug, born Sean Daley 46 years ago, who leads Atmosphere into a concert at Newport Music Hall on Thursday, Oct. 25. “For me, it was just a natural reaction to reacquainting myself with my scene, my surroundings and my city. I travel a lot, and then when I’m not traveling I don’t leave my house, man. … I don’t feel comfortable around people I don’t

know. But I was a lot more social over the last year than normal. I have these kids (Slug’s oldest child is 24, while his youngest just turned 1) who if I don’t take them to the fair and take them camping, no one else will. So I’m forcing myself to learn how to be OK with leaving the house.” Slug’s homebody tendencies are a boon to his music making, however, and he said he’s approached his craft with a 9-to-5 mindset ever since he gave up his day job to pursue a career in music. This means even on family vacations he’ll travel with a laptop and cellphone, and it’s not unusual for him to pull over during long drives, allowing his wife to take the wheel so he can sit in the

the songs to develop absent his usual high-minded flair. “This was more like, ‘I’m going to make this record and I’m not going to take the time to point at what it’s about. I’m just going to let it write itself.’ And it did,” he said. “And when I stepped back … that’s when I realized, ‘Oh, I’m just making a record about my city.’ Or maybe it’s not exclusive to my city, but more so the people who are part of me, the ones who turned me into who the fuck I am, that created Sean, that created Slug.” These people range from his own children to neighborhood denizens he’d consider crossing the street to avoid engaging in small talk. “It was like, ‘Oh, fuck. If I’m writing about people I don’t like again it means my therapist is going to make a bunch of money this year,’” Slug said, and laughed. Of course, that’s not to say that some of those more conceptual ideas didn’t eventually worm their way into the record in some form, Slug being Slug. The rapper noted the album was long ago conceived as the third in a trilogy following Southsiders, from 2014, and Fishing Blues, from 2016, which collectively find him exploring the idea of death. But where the first two albums were more centered on the individual, Mi Vida Local takes a more outward view. “The worst thing about death is not you dying. You die and it’s over. All of your trauma is done. All your worries, stress, it’s all done. It’s like somebody turned off the light,” Slug said. “It’s everybody else around you that gets affected. That’s what this album is about: the people around me. … Death is not for the dying. It’s for the people who survive.”

passenger seat and write in his phone’s notepad app when inspiration strikes. “There’s this weird voice in me that’s like, ‘Go to work or you’re going to get fired,’” Slug said. “The reason I need to create is I always want to have a healthy respect towards, essentially, this authority figure in my life. This music has become my boss. This audience is my boss. I’m fortunate to be in this position, and I have no intention of ever taking it for granted.” For this reason, according to Slug, he and longtime friend and producer Ant (aka Anthony Davis) work together constantly — often crafting songs as mental and creative exercises rather than for planned release. “As a kid, I was always fucking with puzzles, trying to do jigsaw puzzles. I have to solve the problem. I have to do the puzzle,” Slug said. “Sometimes I come up with song concepts that are just the dumbest shit in the world, but I force myself to finish it because it’s an exercise. I have to complete it. I have to crack this code.” This particular batch of songs started in a similar manner, only taking on more concrete form once the pair stumbled onto “Virgo,” a drum-less, acousticguitar-driven, hymn-like deep breath on which Slug lobbies for self-care (“Put your oxygen mask on first before you offer me help”), confronts aging (“When I start up the motor, it still turns over/ But nowadays, a little bit slower”) and appears to make peace with death, a concept that has been a driving force on recent albums (“I won’t waste ammo aiming at the angel of death”). In the past, when albums started to take this early shape, Slug said he had a tendency to let his more conceptual side take over. “I’d be like, ‘OK, I’m going to make a whole record where there’s a third-person narrative.’ Or, ‘I’m going to make a whole record and it’s all about traveling,’” he said. But on Mi Vida Local, he stepped back and allowed

Kyle Harvey spent nearly all of his young adult life trying to be a famous rapper, and he was starting to make it happen. The Ventura, California, musician released mixtape after mixtape (2013’s Beautiful Loser, 2015’s Smyle) and landed on various “artist to watch” lists. But 2016 landed a crushing blow. “Someone in my family got diagnosed with a mental illness, something called schizoaffective disorder,” said Harvey, who performs and records as KYLE. “And I wasn’t there. I wasn’t around. I was out trying to be a rapper, and it made me feel ashamed of myself. It’s somebody I was supposed to take care of and be there for, and while I was out there trying to be famous, something really bad happened to them. I had this overwhelming feeling of failure and being ashamed.” Plus, Harvey was in the middle of a tour he didn’t want to be on, and his music wasn’t at a place he wanted it to be. He was depressed. But in the middle of that downward spiral, the rapper took a lesson from his biggest mentor: his mom. “She has this crazy, indescribable ability to see the good in everything and everyone,” he said. Full-blown optimism — the kind that sees the glass as half full and on the brink of a free reﬁll — provided the mental antidote he needed. “You have to

remain optimistic. Things can get better,” Harvey said. “It’s not about being happy every single day. It’s about waking up ready to ﬁght for your happiness: ‘Today is the chance for me to have a really good day.’ And if it’s not a really good day, it’s all good. Maybe even the next week is gonna be trash. But eventually, bro, life is gonna get better for you. That’s what I had to tell myself when I was in that low-ass place.” Less than a year after hitting rock bottom, Harvey released the song “iSpy” featuring Lil Yachty. “I literally called it a throwaway: ‘I’m just gonna put this out, test the waters, see if people are feeling it,’” he said. “When I ﬁrst tweeted the

song, I forgot to put the link to the song. I tweeted the picture. I left it up for two days with no link.” But once the link went out, “iSpy” blew up; the pop-rap track has since been streamed more than a billion times. This past spring, KYLE released major label debut Light of Mine, and leadoff track “Ups & Downs” traces his improbable journey from emotional collapse to improbable hit. “2016 hit me like a bag of bricks/2017 switched up, like oh it’s lit/I nearly had a mental breakdown/And eight months later had a hit,” he raps, evoking a smile in every line. Harvey also scored the lead role in “The After Party,” a Netﬂix movie about a rapper trying to land a record deal. Now, he

spreads the gospel of optimism any chance he gets. “I just try to appreciate small things,” he said. “Instead of focusing all your attention and energy on how bad something is, skip that for now — it’ll get better later — and just think about, ‘Damn, I have a really awesome friend.’ Or, ‘My neighbor is really tight.’ Or, ‘My shoulders are getting bigger; I should keep doing these push-ups.’ Or, ‘I have really good reception today.’ ... There’s no reason to ever focus on something wack.”

Every band has goals, even if the goal is to not have any goals. But the young rockers in local foursome Radattack, a band in which three of its members have yet to graduate high school, have global ambitions. “We want everyone in the world to hear our music. We want to be huge,” said singer/guitarist Henry Velour, joined by bandmates Duke Warner (bass), Leonard Velour (guitar) and Nicolas von Salvador (drums) at a Clintonville coffee shop on a recent Friday afternoon. “Everyone who’s got a band, in the back of their heads, if someone came up and said, ‘I could give you the world, and everyone will love your music.’ That person would be like, ‘Yes, I wanna do this,’” Henry said. “Who wouldn’t be about that? We just voice that because we’re all ambitious people.” “We want to break through to the next level,” said Warner, Radattack’s sole high school graduate. “We don’t want to just be another local band that gets some kind of acclaim in town and then ﬁzzles out as they get older. We want to be iconic.” Being world-renowned takes work, so the four friends, who all live in the Clintonville area and have made their way through Columbus Public Schools, rehearse constantly. “We practice daily,” Henry said, “but I wouldn’t call it practice. It’s fun. We

get to hang out and make music.” In the year or so since the band formed, Radattack has digitally released several singles, all recorded with Josh Antonuccio at 3 Elliott Studio in Athens, Ohio. The most recent release, three-song EP Montana Psychedelic Versus Radattack, is rock ’n’ roll to its core, with nods to surf, punk and garage-pop. Henry Velour, who pens the majority of Radattack’s tunes, wrote the EP’s title track about “a boxer who takes a lot of acid and gets all tripped out and gets messed up boxing in the ring.” “What’s My Reputation,” in contrast, comes from a more universal fear. “When there’s crazy stories going around about someone, you talk about it with someone, and it makes you think, ‘Who’s standing in a group with their buddies talking about me?’” he said. As Radattack shoots for global domination, the band is just as happy to play DIY house shows at it is to play club gigs, such as the show at Ace of Cups on Friday, Oct. 19, alongside local acts the Turbos and snarls. But the four friends are particularly jazzed about a forthcoming December show with the Struts and Albert Hammond, Jr. of the Strokes. “The Strokes are one of my favorite groups,” Henry said. “I’m just gonna geek out.”

In concert, A Place to Bury Strangers embraces volume, cranking its amps and leveling attendees with waves of guitar distortion and feedback. But on the band’s most recent full length, Pinned, released earlier this year on Dead Oceans, the New York City-based crew carves a slightly quieter path, favoring brooding tempos, more prevalent electronic noise and spacious, increasingly desolate soundscapes. Singer and guitarist Oliver Ackerman traces this evolution to the 2014 closure of Death by Audio, a combination workspace, venue and recording studio in which the band had long made its home (the site also functioned as the workshop and ofﬁces for Ackerman’s still-active guitar pedal company, also named Death by Audio). “A lot of the record was recorded in my apartment where we had neighbors and couldn’t really get too loud. We’d record into the wee hours of the night, and those were the sounds and moments that captured something exciting,” said Ackerman, who joins bandmates Dion Lunadon (bass) and Lia Simone Braswell (drums, vocals) in concert at Ace of Cups on Thursday, Oct. 25. “We went and recorded in some studios and in some live spaces kind of after most of the demos had been done, but a lot of that original stuff sounded so good it ended up making it on the record.”

The record also documents a transition within the band, with Braswell stepping in on drums and co-lead vocals — an addition that followed a stretch when Ackerman questioned if the group should even continue. “You’re wondering if you’re beating a dead horse and kind of doing the same sort of thing. I didn’t even know if this was going to be a record when we started working on it, and as it turns out, you ﬁnd there are some interesting aspects and some things worth putting together,” he said. “Adding Lia into that mix helped out. I saw a lot of potential and a lot of cool, interesting things happening. … I don’t want to be some sort of band that’s just around playing the hits or something. You always have to stray away from that, and we always do.” No matter how much the songs stray, though, the band’s musical DNA exhibits itself in the pervasively downcast, slate-gray mood — “It’s never a complete departure because our own aesthetic always comes through,” Ackerman said — and the frontman’s fondness for unkempt guitar noise, which reveals itself even within the new record’s comparatively stiller pastures. “There’s something so awesome hearing the power of a guitar cranked up … where it rattles through your body,” Ackerman said. “It’s just so complex. It’s like the sound of pure electricity.”

Who could have predicted that the Modern Lovers — a 1970s Velvet Undergroundinspired proto-punk act that counted the Sex Pistols as a disciple — would provide the springboard for one of the gooﬁest, most lovable frontmen in rock? Ever since he pivoted from that initial incarnation of the Modern Lovers, Jonathan Richman has embraced his whimsical side, which landed him a spot in the 1998 theatrical comedy “There’s Something About Mary.” These days Richman usually performs with a nylon-stringed guitar alongside drummer Tommy Larkins, though he’ll often set down his guitar mid-song, close his eyes, thrust his face upward and dance around the stage with arms outspread.

If you’re a Phil Collins fan, you’ve been waiting for this moment all your life. Or at least since the former Genesis drummer/singer announced the extension of his “Not Dead Yet” tour back in May. The tour gets its name from a memoir Collins published in 2016, after which he played a few shows, then had to stop after tripping and falling

That may not sound enticing, but to see Richman is to experience the type of childlike joy that most adults have forgotten how to embody. In these times, a Jonathan Richman show can wield curative powers. It’s neither nostalgic nor modern. Just a life-celebrating ﬁrehouse of heartfelt, smile-inducing music that’s still completely believable. Also: Leave your phone at home for this one. Richman hasn’t been a fan of cellphones for a while now. Smart man. (Don’t miss it)

‘fROM ThE P languagE Of ash’

by ERIca ThOMpsOn

oet Nabila Lovelace has an intimate relationship with her hometown of Queens, New York. She recognizes all the hair and nail shops on a walk from her mother to her grandmother’s house. She admires the shifting landmarks and street art, including the

recently named Malik “Phife Dawg” Taylor Way, and the new A Tribe Called Quest mural. She watches the beautiful people, free to express themselves because they are in familiar territory. “But the violence is that there are street harassers,” Lovelace said in a phone interview. “There is a possibility that someone could say something

to me that is of violence. … It may not happen today. It may not happen tomorrow. But it deﬁnitely could happen.” That reality is one example of a common interaction with violence and intimacy, which are so intertwined that they are like “colors that could blend,” Lovelace said. It’s a theme at the center of her ﬁrst collection of poems, Sons of Achilles.

a mentor encouraged her to say the words, “I’m a writer,” out loud. “I think that permission is something that was fundamental and foundational for me,” she said.

“They are the illest technicians of language I have ever known,” she said. “I think that my grandmother’s use of English and slang puts me in awe often, and she thinks I’m joking, but I write it down.” Though Lovelace enjoyed reading as a child, she didn’t realize she wanted to be a writer until several years ago. A mentor encouraged her to say the words, “I’m a writer,” out loud. “I think that permission is something that was fundamental and foundational for me,” she said. Abdurraqib said Lovelace was one of the ﬁrst people who came to mind for the quarterly “From the Language of Ash” series, which he created to support “emerging poets, or poets who are on their ﬁrst books [and] don’t always get the platforms or recognition or funded opportunities to read.” And he will bring in poets of color exclusively. In addition to reading, Lovelace will also have a conversation with a black, queer scholar at Ohio State. And other students and community members will read their poems. As a poet who hosts events, Abdurraqib was also impressed with Lovelace’s work as an organizer; she founded the Conversation Literary Festival, a retreat that highlights black and brown queer poets, and takes place across Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. “In a place where we feel constantly at threat in our bodies [and] feel constantly unsafe, what does it look like to be able to not have to worry about safety?” she said of her motivation. “And to possibly be able to be in collaboration with other people who are, too, thinking about what it could mean to live a freer life through writing.”

Now based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Lovelace will visit Columbus to read from the book at “From the Language of Ash” at Urban Arts Space on Monday, Oct. 22. The inaugural poetry series was curated by poet, essayist, cultural critic and occasional Alive contributor Hanif Abdurraqib. The origins of Sons of Achilles reach back to a classic literature course Lovelace took in college. She was tasked with reading ancient Greek epic poem The Iliad, attributed to Homer. “I had always heard about it as this seminal text that I supposedly had to read because there’s supposedly only one canon of things you absolutely have to read … which isn’t something that I necessarily [agree] with,” she said. “Something that stuck out to me was … its celebration of this heroic ﬁgure who is the hero because of his acts of violence.” Lovelace pointed to the protagonist, Achilles, who is celebrated in Greek mythology for slaying Trojan prince Hector — and many others — in the Trojan War. “It just reminded me of the ways that patriarchy has created a power dynamic and a heroism that is wrapped in acts of major violence,” Lovelace said. “This is a text that is widely disseminated, and it revolves around a man saving his nationhood through massive acts of violence.” Lovelace saw connections throughout her own life, as far back as slap-boxing with other kids growing up. “On a very small level, people I knew who got acclaim sometimes were people who had hands,” she said. “I do believe that we live in a space where violence as a means of getting things is sometimes rewarded.” “Nabila’s work is brilliant,” Abdurraqib said. “I love how Nabila uses language. [She] writes the way that she speaks. … There’s a real beauty to the way that she puts together words.” That love of language was fostered in Lovelace by her grandmother and mother, who are from Trinidad and Tobago.

sara aBou rashed’s ‘a map oF myselF’

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, October 18, 2018

By Jim Fischer

Sara Abou Rashed is a poet. She started writing when she was 8 years old living in Syria, penning poems in Arabic. When, as a teenager, she moved with her mother to Columbus, she learned English and immediately began writing poems in her new language, eventually winning the Columbus District Poetry Slam. Rashed is also a storyteller. Through her poetry, she came to the attention of Larry Smith, founder of Six Word Memoirs, who encouraged her to share her story at TED Talks and for audiences at various conferences around the world. And now, Abou is a scriptwriter and actor, having, with Smith’s help, turned her story into a one-person play titled “A Map of Myself,” which she debuted earlier this month at Denison University, where she is a student, and which she will perform Friday and Saturday, Oct. 19 and 20, at the Lincoln Theatre. Additional performances will also take place Nov. 7 and 10 at the Columbus Museum of Art. “I have learned a lot of theater terms. I don’t know if that qualiﬁes me as a theater person yet,” Rashed joked. “Directing a one-person play is a dream of mine,” Smith said. “I asked Sara last year after she did a presentation at the Tenement Museum in New York City, and she said, ‘I’m in.’ Now we’re both learning this together.” The script of “A Map of Myself” begins with

many of the core points of her presentation and includes some poetry — both Rashed’s and others’. “I wanted it to be unique to me, to have the use of poetry. Poems energize, heighten the intensity,” Rashed said. Rashed and Smith were determined to make it different from her poetry readings and TED Talks, instead using the same fundamental concepts as a jumping-off point for a deeper dive into Rashed’s search for identity and her difﬁculties adjusting to a new country that isn’t always accepting of immigrants, Muslim ones in particular. “I talk about being only one of two women at Denison to wear the head scarf. I’ve talked about that before, but I connect that to a larger concept on, ‘What is the weight of a life?’” Rashed said. “I am more able to appeal to and

explore different emotions, and share some more of my inner thoughts.” “She didn’t want to do [her poem] ‘I Am America.’ She said so many people had already heard it. I told her you have to do your greatest hits. … Give the people what they want,” Smith said. There are also practical matters to performing a scripted play versus making a presentation. “Usually, I’m a very spontaneous speaker. I can go off on a tangent if I want and come back to where I was,” Rashed said. “Theater is so much more speciﬁc and intentional. Once you start, there’s no going back.”

VOTERS GUIDE FACT CHECKS PODCASTS ENDORSEMENTS DISPATCH.COM: YOUR MIDTERM HEADQUARTERS

So one week ago I was extolling the virtues of “Bad Times at the El Royale” (which you should see) for its refreshing, made-for-the-screen originality. And this week, I’m singing the praise of a “Halloween” reboot? Yep. OK, “reboot” isn’t exactly the right word. Despite the fact this movie is simply called “Halloween,” it’s a sequel — a very well-executed one that gets almost everything right in recreating the spirit of John Carpenter’s 1978 classic. The 2018 “Halloween” is a true tribute to the original, and it’s one of the better old-school slasher ﬁlms in the 40 years since. Four decades have also passed in the story timeline. In a thoroughly modern touch, a pair of true-crime podcasters/”investigative journalists” is revisiting the grisly events that took place in suburban Haddonﬁeld, Illinois. In a creepy opener, the team visits a high-security mental institution: “We are here to see a patient who has been here for 40 years and by all accounts has not uttered a word.” Spoiler alert: It’s Michael Myers (Nick Castle, reprising his original role). Then they visit Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis, also reprising her original role), who has become both a recluse and a badass in the years since her original trauma.

Laurie has a strained relationship with her daughter, Karen (Judy Greer), traced back to a survivalist upbringing as a child. A third generation enters with Laurie’s granddaughter, Allyson (newcomer Andi Matichak). And, of course, Michael returns to their lives. Credit director David Gordon Green with some serious and unexpected horror chops. He’s done indie dramas such as “All the Real Girls” and offbeat studio comedies such as “The Pineapple Express,” but nothing that would indicate this. He runs laps around Rob Zombie’s reboot. He and co-writers Danny McBride (!) and Jeff Fradley wisely ignore every sequel since the original (save a few nods) and create both a valid update and an homage. I’ll be curious to see how this “Halloween” plays to the jump-scare horror generation. It harkens back to Carpenter’s everytown suburban setting and the silent placement of a bogeyman. I was more than effectively creeped out in many of the same ways. Curtis, who also co-produced with Carpenter, has evolved her character from a survivor of trauma to a protector. This “Halloween” isn’t a heavy-handed feminist screed, but there’s some power in the moment. I expect audiences to be divided by “Halloween,” but count me as a big supporter.

el pollo perucho by G.a. benton • photos by rob hardin

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, October 18, 2018

ou don’t have to be much of a linguist to figure out what El Pollo Perucho means in Spanish. And you shouldn’t have to strain your brain much to figure out that duly celebrated, charcoal-broiled Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken is El Pollo Perucho’s specialty. But the West Side restaurant offers other Peruvian comfort foods that are worth trying, too — even if you pop in on an off-day when the small, hardworking staff is facing atypical challenges. I visited on such an occasion recently. On the heels of previous meals that had me looking forward to sampling more, I was told by my server — the husband of the head chef — that several items I’d come in for were unavailable because his wife was ill. Although I encountered a rather long wait before receiving my food that day in the semi-crowded and short-handed eatery, even my “plan B” dishes were delicious when they arrived. El Pollo Perucho is a little, no-frills operation in a strip mall, but there are worse places to kill time in than this eminently tidy site with an upbeat cumbia soundtrack, plus bright orange and lemon yellow walls adorned with ornate metal plates and pictures of Machu Picchu. Your best clock-ignoring strategy is to peruse the shelves of Peruvian groceries for sale in what amounts to a micro bodega (dried purple corn cobs, anyone?). You should also order the uncommon Causa de Pollo ($5.49) because the nifty appetizer comes out relatively quickly and tastes even better than it looks — and it resembles a giant Hostess cupcake. But the lemonkissed “cake” is made from soothing mashed potatoes, the filling is a tangy shredded-chicken salad with peas and carrots, and the decorations on top are mayonnaise squiggles and boiled-egg slices. Cutting to the chase, the headlining chicken (Pollo a la Brasa) is worth the wait. Its dark, blistered skin is fragrant with a lively herb-and-spice blend that includes huacatay, a minty Peruvian favorite (huacatay also lends distinction to the creamy and alluring all-purpose yellow house hot sauce). These flavors seep into the lightly smoky, tender and mostly juicy meat beneath. You can purchase the bird alone ($8.50 for a half, $16 for a whole

chicken) or with two sides ($14 with a half, $25 with a whole bird). You want fried plantains with that — preferably the sweet maduros, which arrive with crinkly exteriors. I’m also a big fan of the creamy pinto beans seasoned with garlic and ham. And both the aromatic cilantro rice and the yellow rice with peas and carrots are good choices. The fried yucas are ﬁne, but mine would’ve beneﬁted from more time in the fryer. The Papas a la Huancaina cost an extra $3, but where else are you going to get soulful boiled potatoes smothered in a zippy, super-smooth Peruvian cheese sauce? Those spuds are a nice addition to Arroz con Pollo ($10), a weekend special. The homey chicken-and-rice entree regularly comes with lemony shaved red onions and cilantro rice. Cilantro stars in the tangy sauce in which pot roast is cooked to create

the terrific Frejoles con Seco ($10). The hearty entree includes peas, carrots, white rice and those crowd-pleasing pinto beans. For something much lighter, try the modest-sized but vibrant and delightful Ceviche ($11). Among the most palatable tilapia around, it features firm pieces of raw fish and onion slivers “cooked” in a bright citrus bath tweaked with a bit of chili. Contrast arrives via bland hominy, toasted corn nuggets and a disc of mashed sweet potatoes. The dish is made to order, so you’ll have ample time to pick out some prettily wrapped, addictive, house-made caramel-filled chocolates to eat while you wait.

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, October 18, 2018

By Erica Thompson

In less than two weeks, countless mini-princesses, superheroes, witches and the like will take the streets of Columbus in search of quality candy. But what happens to the costumes after Halloween? That was precisely the question Mayra Betances asked herself several years ago in New Jersey while watching the Halloween parade at her son’s school. “I thought, ‘Nobody wants to be a pumpkin every year,’” Betances said during an early-October interview. “Most of us are fortunate enough to be able to buy a costume every year.” Betances passed out ﬂyers asking parents to donate their children’s gently-used costumes. She collected two boxes to ship to underprivileged children in the Dominican Republic, where she grew up. The kids would be able to use them for the Carnival and Independence Day festivities in February. “It’s tradition to dress up in popular costumes and parade around villages and neighborhoods,” she said. That was the origin of Create Happy Moments, a nonproﬁt Betances established after relocating to Columbus. The organization serves children through international cultural exchange. Betances still visits schools to collect costumes, but also provides a video presentation of how the costumes will be used overseas. “The kids love it,” she said. “A lot of them get excited and they start tell-

phoTo By chris casELLa

ing me where their parents are from.” Create Happy Moments also hosts regular storytelling events, which feature adults talking about their childhood activities and traditions. “Children are amazed when they hear the stories,” Betances said. “We had this lady from El Salvador, and when we asked her what she did as a child, she said, ‘We crossed the border into Guatemala and jumped in the river.’ Who beats that childhood experience?” As a child in the Dominican Republic, Betances hunted lizards and played with plastic dolls. And she discovered the mud at drilling sites in her neighborhood functioned as a type of Play-Doh. “We made objects like couches, TVs and houses for our dolls,” she said. In addition to celebrating Carnival and Independence Day, Betances’ family exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve, and recognized Dia De Los Muertos (the Day of the Dead). “It’s a way to remind ourselves of them and

what we shared,” she said of the latter holiday, “And celebrate the life they did have with us.” On Saturday, Oct. 20, Create Happy Moments will sponsor a more extravagant Day of the Dead Celebration in Green Lawn Cemetery, hosted by Latino Arts for Humanity. There will be decorations, food trucks, music and activities. And next month Create Happy Moments will return to the area for its annual Caribbean Gala, a fundraising event at the Green Lawn Abbey mausoleum.

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, October 18, 2018

Columbus is home to the second-largest Somali population in the U.S., ranking behind Minneapolis-St. Paul. With the continually growing Somali presence in Central Ohio, more and more authentic Somali eateries are being established — particularly in the northeast quadrant of the city. This gives local residents myriad opportunities to experience the cuisine. Here are ﬁve highlights!

Hoyo’s Kitchen 5788 Columbus Sq. North Side “Hoyo” is Somali for “mother,” which indicates the kind of familial welcome you’ll receive at Hoyo’s Kitchen. The casual spot provides an easy introduction to Somali cooking. Start with hot, spiced tea and an order of triangle-shaped sambusas ﬁlled with meat and veggies, plus the bijaya – mashed and fried beans. The combo plates let you try a variety

of meats and sides; Hoyo’s is known particularly for its tender goat.

African Paradise 2263 Morse Rd., North Side Like Hoyo’s Kitchen, African Paradise offers a laid-back entry into Somali cuisine, with servers who are willing to help you explore the menu. Favorite choices here include ﬂatbreads, house-made tea and the suqaar, a signature Somali dish that features a protein like chicken or beef, which is then diced and served in a light gravy. Most meals are served with rice and a spongy sour bread called anjera (or canjero), with which you scoop up bites of food. Ginevra Cafe 2285 Morse Rd., North Side Ginevra is located close to African Paradise; many eager diners have discovered one while seeking out the other. The casual Ginevra features sandwiches and platters of lamb, beef and chicken with rice, all served family style. Popular dishes include sambosas and lentil

soup, and don’t forget to order a sweet tea.

Darbo Restaurant 3764 Cleveland Ave., North Side Darbo Restaurant provides another welcoming entry to Somali cooking. The eatery features modern decor and televisions tuned to sports. Dishes are served with pasta, curry rice or jabati, a grilled ﬂatbread. Greatest hits include grilled goat cubes, chicken kalankal (diced chicken that’s been marinated and grilled) and chicken ala-diabla (spicy grilled chicken legs). Hamdi Grill 1784 Huy Rd., North Side Like Darbo, Hamdi Grill’s premises are polished and modern, while the inexpensive menu offers dishes that should appeal to both long-time aﬁcionados of Somali cuisine and newcomers. The goat is a hit here, whether roasted or served in curry stew. Other favorites include the kebobs and the chicken suqaar.

Owners Joe Casey and Nikki Gallo opened the 2,500-square-foot brewery, taproom and beer garden next to the historic Henderson House, which dates back to 1900, according to the Franklin County Auditor’s Ofﬁce. SIP’s permanent brewmaster is gypsy brewer Pat Sullivan (aka Charlie Navillus), who has brewed under his own brand, Nowhere in Particular. Ohio’s Division of Liquor Control is opening Last Call, a temporary liquor outlet that will sell clearance inventory.

If you’re up for a road trip, the Ohio Craft Brewers Association hosts Ale-O-Ween this Saturday, Oct. 20, at Dayton’s new downtown venue The Steam Plant, 617 E. Third St. The Halloween-themed event takes place 6-9 p.m. and features beers from 40 Ohio craft breweries, live music, food trucks and more. Costumes are encouraged.

I. My mother laughs when she tells the story of my birth Of how when the nurse placed me in her arms she asked where her baby was and why they handed her a tiny monkey.

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, October 18, 2018

II. I did and do have a lot of hair but it is ﬁne/ thin, like my mother’s, my older brother having scraped all of the DNA for lush curls usually associated with the mixed children without any regard for any child born after him

III. While my hair is fine/ thin like my mother’s it is naturally quite dark, not at all like my mother’s, whom you cannot tell does not shave her legs. I shave my legs for the first time in secret when I am 10. I press down too hard and a thin ribbon of skin blooms from the head of the razor, the first of many bloody receipts for my femininity. IV. In 7th grade Tiffany looks at me hard from across the table during group work in math class before announcing to everyone that my eyebrows almost touch.

V. I am locked in the bathroom with my clock radio/ cassette player combo blasting the same cassingle over and over, daydreaming about Taylor Hanson and shaving between my eyebrows when my brother pounds on the door and startles half of my left eyebrow into the blades of the razor. VI. Everyone in 4th period study hall started calling Dawn “the wildebeest”today bc she is fat andher arms are covered in dark hair. She cries and says she’s just Italian. That night in the bath I shave my arms from wrist to shoulder bc my great grandfather on my moms side is also Italian and also my arm hair is dark and also I am fatter than Dawn and I just don’t need those problems. VII My mother buys me a Christmas gift not on my list: a magnifying makeup mirror with bright lights on either side. When I plug it in and look in all I can see is a disastrous forest I will spend the rest of my life trying to tame into a woman. — RAChEl WIlEy
