‘Typical Marin Resident’

484 Magnolia, Larkspur 415.924.0505 tls@lingerieshoppe.net

Anyone who is truly sincere about minimizing the carbon footprint of their diet—but not to the extent of becoming a vegetarian— should fast forward past Ari LeVaux’s article comparing grassfed and lot-fed beef and fry up some turkey burgers [‘Hamburger 101,’ May 2]. Yes, ground turkey might not measure up to the “sophisticated convergence of flavors” of ground beef, but after you slather on the condiments and add the pickle, onion slices and cheese, your taste buds will have plenty to distract them.

Take a deep breath and remind yourself that, beef or turkey, the typical Marin resident is riding higher on the hog, as it were, than almost anyone else on the planet.

Upfront The Republican party hasn’t pushed out a favored candidate in what’s sure to be a losing race for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s seat, and has struggled to find candidates to run at all this year.

‘Little’ Headache California GOP grapples with top-polling neo-Nazi

By Tom Gogola

I

t’s been a couple of wild weeks for the California State Republican Party now that it’s been revealed that one of the highest polling Republicans in the state is a neo-Nazi who denies that the Holocaust happened.

The party has been dealing with fallout from a recent statewide poll, which revealed that self-described

“counter-Semite” Patrick Little was leading all challengers, Democrat and Republican, in the race for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s seat. Feinstein is Jewish.

The state GOP’s Little headache piled on to a set of grim statistics that keep mounting for a party whose support is cratering in the state since Donald Trump’s election as president. Only about 25 percent

of registered voters in the state are Republicans, and the last time the party took a statewide race was in 2006, when immigrant Arnold Schwarzenegger took the governor’s seat race.

This year, immigration hardliners in the southern part of the state have rallied around their antipathy for the state’s sanctuary law, while more moderate

Republicans helplessly fret over Latinos’ wholesale abandonment of Republicanism in the Trump era.

Enter Patrick Little. He tried to attend the state GOP spring convention in San Diego over the weekend. It didn’t go well, he said in a brief interview. Little was booted from the event when he attempted to register at the VIP table, despite his declaration to organizers, he notes, that he’s the top-polling Republican in the state. As a parting shot, he stomped on an Israeli flag as he departed the convention.

Little has taken a square aim at the powerful lobbying organization American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in his campaign. The organization did not respond to requests for comment.

In scanning leading state newspapers in the lead-up to the convention last weekend, a consensus view emerged in the various editorials and analyses which indicated that among California’s political and media class, ignoring Little seems to be the best strategy to make him go away.

News stories about the convention barely mentioned Little, if they mentioned him at all, and focused on the party’s challenging work ahead in a state in which the Democratic supermajority has dug in as the loyal opposition in the aftermath of Trump’s minority-vote victory in 2016.

The state GOP has tried to gain traction with California voters this year with its initiative to repeal a new state gas tax—but it’s really hard to ignore the fact that the same party is fielding a candidate for U.S. Senate who doesn’t believe there were gas chambers at Auschwitz. Can Little be so easily dismissed? It’s a hard row to hoe for the GOP. The party wants voters to believe that Gov. Jerry Brown has bankrupted the state, even as last week California leapt over Great Britain to become the world’s fifth largest economy.

The Pacific Sun made numerous attempts to contact the state Republican Party to discuss the Little phenomenon, to no avail.

They clearly want him to go away.

The takeaway from state party leaders is that they are aghast that an unapologetic anti-Semite could lay claim to the mantle of the state GOP’s messaging with his 18 percent showing in the polls.

Yet this is the same state GOP which supported a candidate for

Into this political vacuum enters Patrick Little. So who is he? The former Marine has filed campaign certification paperwork with the California Secretary of State that lists his address as an apartment located in a student housing complex owned by UC Berkeley.

But he’s not a student there and has never been. Little confirms this in a phone interview and says, “That’s my campaign address.”

The address under file with the Secretary of State is in the city of Albany, which is just north of Berkeley and where the university owns a sprawling apartment complex with various amenities, called University Village. The Pacific Sun is not printing the address given that, according to UC Berkeley, the person at the address has every right under university policy to allow Little to use the location as his campaign address.

But it does raise a question about Little’s connection to the university, the site of numerous protests and tense stand-offs between Trump supporters and anti-fascist activists over the past couple of years. A university spokesperson says no person named Patrick Little is currently enrolled at Berkeley, nor has anyone ever been enrolled at the university who has that name. The spokesperson could not identify the person who lives at the Berkeley-owned apartment associated with Little’s campaign.

“We didn’t find any name matching that name either now or in the past,” says spokeswoman Janet Gilmore, who added, “I can’t talk about who may or may not live there because of state privacy laws.”

Little’s Twitter account says that he lives in Albany. He reported online that he was thrown off the social media site on April 29 over his denial of the Holocaust, and wrote that “Hitler saved more [ J]ewish lives than any man in history.”

His campaign slogan is: “Liberate the U.S. from the Jewish Oligarchy.”

Newsweek dug into a poll commissioned by KPIX 5.

SurveyUSA that found Little second behind Feinstein and reported on Little’s praise for Adolf Hitler and his call for Jews to be deported from the United States. KPIX, the San Francisco CBS affiliate, blew right past the part of the poll which identified Little’s surprise showing and instead gushed about how the poll

indicated that voters were ramped up for an exciting campaign season.

If the polling numbers hold and are reflected in the primary vote on June 5, Little would face Feinstein in the general election in November. The next leading Republican candidate running against Feinstein is Rocky De La Fuente, a San Diego businessman and founder of the Delta Party who is also running for Rick Scott’s Senate seat this year in Florida.

Fuente ran for president as a Democrat and says he’ll run again in 2020 in the Democratic primary.

Little also beat out Erin Cruz in the KPIX poll, a candidate who might charitably be said to occupy the “mainstream” Trump position in this race. Cruz has adopted the #Americafirst hashtag as her own and riffs off the reality-show president’s slogan when she says her aim is to Make California Golden Again. Her campaign materials indicate that she plans to do this by deporting undocumented immigrants. Cruz did not follow through on an interview scheduled by her staff for Monday.

Late last week, I contacted Little at the email address he posts on his campaign website and he responded with an offer to do a live-stream interview. That’s not an option, I responded, but let’s talk. I sent him several questions about his campaign and asked if he could provide some further context about his support among AsianAmericans.

Late Friday night, Little sent a series of quick emails from the road, saying he was headed to San Diego and the GOP convention, from whence he would be booted.

Early this week, he called to set up an interview for a future date, he said, given that he had lots of other media requests to sift through.

It’s not known what Little’s actual connection to the Berkeley address is, beyond that he listed it on a state form as his address and confirms that it’s where his campaign is located. There’s nothing illegal about that.

A spokesman at the Federal Election Commission (FEC) says that candidates for higher office don’t have to reveal their home addresses, and only need to provide a mailing address to the FEC. “The FEC has no jurisdiction over any residency requirements (i.e., a candidate running from a particular state or congressional district within a state),” says Myles

Martin, communications specialist at the commission. “The Statement of Candidacy that a candidate files with the [FEC] requires that a candidate provide a ‘mailing address,’ but this need not be their actual residence address.”

Little has not filed a Statement of Candidacy, or any other disclosure reports with the FEC, says Martin.

He may not need to. The FEC only requires financial disclosures from candidates who have eclipsed a $5,000 threshold in contributions, or expenditures related to the campaign.

Little told a Yahoo interviewer that he’s cautioned supporters to not contribute any money to his campaign, given that those contributions, and who made them, could ultimately be subject to public scrutiny. He also noted that he’s gotten some volunteers to help out with the campaign.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has been tracking Little’s campaign, and in 2014 released a report on anti-Semitism around the world, which, surprisingly, found that there’s quite a bit of anti-Semitic sentiment among various Asian populations.

For example, the survey found that some 53 percent of South Koreans answered “probably true” to a majority of anti-Semitic stereotypes, says the ADL’s Joanna Mendelson, the league’s senior investigative researcher and director of special projects.

She says of Little, “He is not nuanced in his anti-Semitism, and outright condemns any ‘dog whistle’ references [to Jews] in favor of his hate.”

The Maine native’s blatant anti-Semitism is on display on his campaign platform. Among other promises, he says he’ll “introduce a bill to the U.S. Senate making it illegal to raise funds for any foundation related to the perpetuating of propaganda related to a ‘holocaust,’ formally making US’s stance on the holocaust to be that it is a Jewish war atrocity propaganda hoax that never happened.”

He also calls for Twitter, Google and Facebook to be nationalized.

Little’s least controversial campaign pledge is his plan to crash asteroids into the Mars atmosphere to make it more amenable to future humans who may travel there. That’s how far out things have become for the California Republican Party.Y

president in 2016 who refused to disavow an endorsement from American Nazi David Duke, who said there are “good people” among violent white supremacists, and whose “America First” platform is a throwback to anti-Semitic American isolationism prior to WWII, though wrapped in a proverbial “dog whistle”—coded language that appeals to a specific constituency while not rattling the mainstream.

There’s no dog-whistling in Little’s campaign, where he calls for the deportation of Jews, among other “counter-Semitic” policy proposals.

Meanwhile, the Anti-Defamation League recently reported that incidences of anti-Semitic violence have spiked since Trump’s election, including in California.

The organization conducted a workshop on combating antiSemitism recently in Silicon Valley.

Trump visited the state in March.

At that time, Kurt Bardella (a Republican messaging strategist and former staffer to retiring California Congressman Darrell Issa) wrote on CNN’s opinion page online that “the reality is Trump’s brand of xenophobia is toxic to what little is left of the Republican Party in California. . . . Instead of evolving with the changing demographics, Republicans in California have continued to embrace the fringe policies and rhetoric of the most extreme edges of the GOP.” Bardella did not respond to requests for an interview for this story.

In the end, the state Republican Party did not endorse anyone at its weekend convention to run against Feinstein, who is both a deeply unpopular and unmovable force in California Democratic politics.

Her would-be challenger from the left, state Sen. Kevin de León, crawled in at a meager 8 percent support in that same poll which found Little at 18 percent. The growing irrelevancy of the Golden State Republicans appears to have provided political space for a candidate such as Little to emerge, especially given that the fix is in on Feinstein’s re-election. The big promised news going into the state GOP convention was over whether the party would endorse John Cox or Travis Allen in the governor’s race. It ended up endorsing neither man.

Pete Souza

Pete Souza captured a special moment on camera between Barack and Michelle Obama, in the elevator on their way to the inaugural ball on Obama’s first day as president.

Close-Up

In new book, former White House photographer Pete Souza offers intimate portrait of Obama By Wallace Baine

I

n the roughly 34 years since Donald Trump assumed the presidency—that’s Emotional Standard Time; chronologically, it’s been less than two years—it’s easy to forget that there was once a time when the president of the United States was so unflappable, he earned the nickname “No Drama” Obama.

My, oh my, how times have changed.

Outraged progressives and forlorn Democrats are likely to be mighty ambivalent when it comes to nostalgia for the Barack Obama years. But, welcome or not, here it comes in the form of

a stunning new coffee-table book of photographs by former White House photographer Pete Souza titled Obama: An Intimate Portrait.

The book represents the most revealing images culled from a staggering 1.9 million photos that Souza took of Obama and his family, dating back to 2005 when Obama was first elected to the U.S. Senate. During the White House years, Souza tells me, he averaged somewhere between 500 and 2,000 photos of the president each day.

Beyond his friendship with the president, Souza says that purely as a subject, Obama was a godsend.

“He was always very recognizable

from behind, probably because of his ears. I could be behind him and show things from his perspective and you could tell right away it was him,” he says. “I feel sorry for the photographers who had Gerald Ford or George Bush 41 as their subjects. I mean, let’s face it, those guys were pretty bland in their looks and their mannerisms. It must have been a real challenge.

I had someone who was a very photogenic guy.”

On Thursday, May 10, Souza comes to the Curran in San Francisco to sign copies of the new book and tell stories of his eight years as White House

chief photographer. He’ll share his perspective on the most meaningful moments of the Obama administration, from the Bin Laden raid to the Sandy Hook shooting, and shed some light on the private personality of the nation’s first African-American president.

“I knew Barack Obama for years before he became president,” says Souza. “And even as he was leaving the White House on that last day [as president], I can’t say that the core character of the man had changed at all. Maybe his hair was a little grayer. But basically, it was the same person I knew way back when.”

From Day One

Souza was a staff photographer for the Chicago Tribune in December of 2004 when he and Tribune reporter Jeff Zeleny pitched the idea to their editors to chronicle the first year of newly elected Sen. Obama in Washington, D.C. Souza negotiated for access with Obama aide Robert Gibbs (who was later White House press secretary), and was there when Obama–his wife and two daughters by his side–was sworn in for his first term in the Senate.

“The very first day was really just a ceremonial day,” remembers Souza, “and I have this picture of the girls in his new office. Neither he or the girls are paying any attention to me, so I was taking these intimate pictures on Day One. Right away, I knew he was a good subject in that he didn’t mind someone snapping away while he was doing what he does, which is what as a photojournalist you strive to find.”

When Obama was elected president, he was comfortable enough with Souza to bring him on as chief White House photographer, a role in which he supervised three other photographers. “I considered it a professional relationship coming into the White House,” he says.

“Coming in, I had agreements that I would have access to everything.

Well, that’s easier said than done.

As soon as you walked into the Oval Office on January 20, 2009, things changed. Even though I had marching orders, I had to earn the right to be in every meeting and to feel out photographing the family.”

Eventually, Souza and Obama developed a more informal relationship. Obama had a tendency to surround himself with much younger staffers, but Souza was an exception. “Here was I, a guy a few years older than

’

—Pete Souza

he was. That meant we were kind of from the same generation. So we experienced many of the same cultural and historical things from the ’60s and ’70s, when a lot of those around him weren’t even born yet.”

After a while, the Obamas’ trust in Souza dovetailed with the photographer’s intuitions on when to give the First Family space, particularly when it came to the Obama daughters, Sasha and Malia.

“We didn’t want to do anything that would cause the girls any kind of embarrassment or unwanted attention,” he says.

Souza’s body of work as presidential photographer tends to break down into one of three categories: Obama during his workday in his role as president, his interactions with people (often children) and his efforts at maintaining normal-guy activities, such as cheering on from the stands at his daughter’s basketball game. Some of Souza’s images have already become iconic, including an image of the president bending at the waist in the Oval Office to allow a young African-American boy to touch his head. Another famous image shows the president in a freight elevator leaning in to touch forehead-to-forehead with First Lady Michelle Obama, who is wearing his jacket, as the two make their way to an inaugural ball on the first day of the Obama presidency.

Souza was also in the Oval Office the moment that President Obama learned of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 when 26 people—20 of them young children—were killed.

“Sad to say, we had already been through a couple of these mass shootings before that,” says Souza.

“He’s a parent with two young girls at home. His reaction, as a fellow parent but also as the »10

As White House photographer for President Obama, Pete Souza was able to reveal Obama’s true nature with candid shots.

president of the United States, was he couldn’t imagine the horror of saying goodbye to your kids after breakfast and putting them on a school bus, and the next time you see them, their body had been blasted five times at point blank range by some crazy guy, which is essentially what happened. He was overwrought with emotion, as a parent.”

The goal of a photographer is to reveal something about the personality, the morality or the conduct of his subject, and that’s never more true than when that subject is the president. Souza saw Obama’s character come through in countless ways in his eight years as White House photographer.

Behind every image is a story, he says, of how Obama relates to people and how he found a balance between his individual personality and his role as president.

Souza remembers accompanying Obama to an immigration event in Texas, during which the president was being heckled—not by

conservatives, but by progressives who felt he wasn’t doing enough to help immigrants.

“So he says, ‘Look, let me finish my speech, and when I do, I’ll have a conversation with you guys.’ Now, I’m sure everyone there figured he was just saying that to shut those guys up. But in actuality, he finishes his speech and points to those two guys to come join him backstage. So the photo is backstage with these two young guys, and he’s got his hand on this one kid’s shoulders who he’s talking to. You can tell this kid is just shitting his pants. He’s just been called back by the president of the United States, and now he’s a foot away from him. That tells you a lot about Barack Obama, that he would make the effort to explain himself in that way.”Y Pete Souza, presented by Book Passage, Thursday, May 10, 7pm; $65 to $135 (tickets include a copy of the book with signed bookplate); the Curran, 445 Geary Street, San Francisco; sfcurran.com.

Way Station, a family-friendly BBQ eatery and craft beer garden, features plenty of outdoor seating, a fire pit, live music and more.

FOOD & DRINK

Gateway Spot Gas station becomes casual eatery

By Tanya Henry

W

ay back in the spring of 2015, I wrote about a barbecue restaurant that was planning to open at 2001 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Fairfax. As is often the case, these things take longer than planned.

For Brian Back, it took three years longer than he had anticipated—but in March, he finally opened the doors to Way Station in what was previously a gas station.

With the long process of permitting and health department regulations behind him, Back has created an open, spacious (seating for 107) indoor/outdoor eatery. The stripped-down space features plenty of concrete, glass, sliding metal doors and an outdoor gravel-covered beer garden with picnic tables.

More than a year ago, Back discovered Max Hill, who was selling his St. Louis-style ribs out of his food truck (Max’s Pig ’N’ Pie BBQ), and asked him to come

onboard at Way Station; from the looks of it, Hill drove straight into the restaurant and set up shop. His truck, embedded in the back wall, has a fully equipped kitchen.

The restaurant’s signature ribs are smoked for five hours, covered with a special house-made rub and glazed with Hill’s BBQ sauce.

Made in the Memphis style with a vinegar base, the Southern favorite strikes a balance between smoky, spicy and sweet.

Expect all of the fare to be heavy here—even the coleslaw is made with a hearty creamy mustard base.

A Fairfax Crunch Salad of spinach, carrots and a sesame citrus dressing is the lone meat-free main dish offered. Alcoholic beverages are predominately from California, and include a Fort Point Black Lager and an Inizi Rosé from Guerneville.Y Way Station, 2001 Sir Francis Drake Blvd., Fairfax; 415/300-3099; waystationmarin.com.

Steven Levitsky (left), and Daniel Ziblatt, both professors at Harvard University, co-authored the book ‘How Democracies Die,’ about how political democracies can form and then fail.

ARTS

Timely Lessons Daniel Ziblatt takes a page from history in ‘How Democracies Die’ By Charlie Swanson

I

f the old saying is true, then those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

North Bay native and Harvard Professor of Government Daniel Ziblatt knows his history, and he has made a career of studying political systems around the world. More specifically, he’s an expert in how political democracies form and how they fail, and he offers a stark and revelatory history lesson in his bestselling book, How Democracies Die, co-authored with fellow Harvard professor Steven Levitsky.

Ziblatt engages in political discourse when he appears on Wednesday, May 16, at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco and on Friday, May 18, in his hometown of Occidental at the Occidental Center for the Arts.

Ziblatt first began examining politics while attending a German boarding school as part of a high school exchange program in 1990.

“This was the year of German unification,” Ziblatt says. “That was an exciting year to be in Germany, after the fall of the Berlin Wall.”

In college, Ziblatt studied German history, literature and eventually European politics. As a professor at Harvard, Ziblatt specializes in those subjects with an emphasis on democratization and state building.

He has already authored two books on the topic, 2006’s Structuring the State and 2017’s Conservative Parties & the Birth of Democracy.

While Ziblatt was examining Europe, How Democracies Die co-author Levitsky studied Latin American politics, and the two have previously co-instructed classes on

democratic crises around the world, though never focusing on the U.S. “During the primary season of the [2016 presidential] election, we started talking about U.S. politics and how we were seeing echoes of things we had studied in other countries,” Ziblatt says.

As political candidate Donald Trump threatened to lock up his rival, called the press the enemy of the people and accused the government of potentially rigging elections, Ziblatt notes the unprecedented actions of that election mirrored events that occurred in other countries which experienced democratic breakdowns. “[Democracies] don’t die the way they used to,” Ziblatt says. “They used to die through military coups; men with guns.”

Since the collapse of communism in the 20th century, Ziblatt explains that democracies have begun to die at the ballot box, with presidents and prime ministers being elected to office and then dismantling democracy from within.

“We started to realize there was some useful lessons to be learned,” Ziblatt says. “Some missteps to avoid and things that politicians and citizens should do. Just having elections is no guarantee of democracy.”

In How Democracies Die, Ziblatt and Levitsky point to several global examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary Hungary and Venezuela, to show how elected leaders become authoritarian rulers.

For those feeling discouraged by the polarized political atmosphere, Ziblatt and Levitsky offer steps that both Republicans and Democrats can do to save our own democracy.

“As much as we disagree with or are frightened by our political opponent, it’s important to continue to abide by and act in a way that reinforces democratic norms,” Ziblatt says. “In many cases, countries overcome their polarization only after major catastrophes. We want readers to understand the stakes of our current politics so we can overcome our problems without having to undergo those catastrophes.”Y Daniel Ziblatt reads from ‘How Democracies Die’ on Wednesday, May 16, at The Commonwealth Club, 110 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, noon, $15-$40, 415/597-6705 and on Friday, May 18, at the Occidental Center for the Arts, 3850 Doris Murphy Ct., 7pm, $5, 707/874-9392.

FILM

Mommy Track ‘Tully’ tackles postpartum depression

By Richard von Busack

T

hey called Juno whipsmart, and some of us still have the lash scars.

Tully, by writer Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman, has everything left out of their first film together that made it the crowd-pleaser that it was. Tully has some of the narcissism seen in Juno and their follow-up, Young Adult, but there’s also some unusually raw material, acted by Charlize Theron with barely smothered fury.

Marlo (Theron), vastly pregnant, has a young son who is vaguely on the autism spectrum, and an older daughter who is in an awkward stage. Her husband, Drew (Ron Livingston), has a high-tech job that he can’t begin to explain to listeners.

When not plugged into shooter games on his console, he travels for work frequently, leaving Marlo alone on the mommy track.

Marlo’s very well-off brother Craig (Mark Duplass) offers a suggestion: He’ll hire Marlo a ‘night-

nanny’ who comes in during the first difficult months after birth, to tend to the baby and bring it in for midnight feedings. The nanny finally arrives: Tully (Mackenzie Davis), as manic and as pixieish a dream girl as ever seen, is not only a perfect servant, but a marvelous confidante, helping to pull Marlo out of the pit of postpartum numbness and despair.

Tully’s well-articulated anguish over a mother’s loss of self while tending a newborn is very unusual.

In the feminist days of rage, it would have been society who forced the woman into the role of brood sow and slop cleaner. In this aftermath of an unplanned pregnancy, Marlo did this to herself—she has no one to blame—and here is everything savage about new motherhood that was skated over in Juno. The montage of breast-pumping and diaper-changing is so brutal that you feel like calling your mom in the middle of the movie and thanking her.Y

In the film ‘Tully,’ we’re warned off from the thought that it’s time for the usual servant-trouble melodrama, in which the nanny takes both husband and baby.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE PROPOSED DISCONTINUATION OF GOLDEN GATE TRANSIT ROUTES 92 AND 93

Q:

I was roommates with a girl five years ago. I was a spoiled brat for many years, but I’ve worked very hard to change. She, on the other hand, is still supported by her father, has no job or interests and just wants to get married.

Whenever she calls, she wants advice on the same boy drama. I just don’t have the time or patience for this anymore. I tried not responding to her, but she keeps calling and texting, “I need to come over right now!”—Drama-Weary

A:

“I need to come over right now!” What are you, a day spa for her emotions crossed with the Burger King drive-thru?

It’s easy to confuse the chunk of time a friend has been in your life with reason for them to continue being there. It helps to unpack the mystique about how friendships form. Social science research finds that a major driver of friendship is similarity—shared values and attitudes, for example. But demographic similarity is part of it, too—like both being 30-year-old single female zoo workers who went to a crappy college.

And though we want to believe that we carefully choose the friends in our lives, personality psychologist Mitja Back and his colleagues are among the researchers who’ve found that “mere proximity” seems to play a big role in who our friends are. This means, for example, living in the apartment next door, working in the same department or, in Back’s study, being randomly assigned to “neighboring seats” in a college class. In other words, you probably became friends with this woman because she was sleeping in the next room, not because you conducted a nationwide search for the best possible buddy for you.

Now’s the time to choose whether she stays in your life—and you don’t do that by hoping that she’ll hear your vigorous eye-rolling over the phone and take the hint. Breaking up with a friend, if that’s what you want to do, should work like breaking up with a romantic partner. Don’t just wordlessly cut off contact; that’s cruel—and likely to backfire. Tell her that you need to end the friendship, explaining the problem in broad terms: You’ve “grown apart” or you’re “in different places” in your lives. Even if she presses you, keep it kind by keeping it vague. The point is telling her that it’s over, not informing her that she’s got all of the emotional depth of a goldfish and then ducking out forever via call waiting: “Sorry—gotta go. Important robocall from Rachel from Card Services on the other line!”

Q:

After six years of hard work, I’m starting to have some success in my career. Disturbingly, my best friend seems envious. I’ll tell her some exciting news, and she’ll barely respond. I understand that she’s trying to break through while working a menial job, but my other friends are really supportive and happy for me. She claims she is, too, but her behavior says otherwise. It really hurts my feelings.—Disappointed

A:

We often do crazy things simply to keep up with our peers who are doing those things. We evolved to be creatures of “social comparison”—judging how well we’re doing by how we stack up to others. When we’re lagging behind our peers, envy often rises up—as it seems to be in your friend. Envy is mistakenly assumed to be ugly and shameful, but evolutionary social psychologist Bram Buunk and his colleagues explain that the feelbad we get from envy pushes us to get on the stick and narrow the “status gap” between ourselves and others.

Understanding the underpinnings of envy can help you have compassion for your friend, which might help you avoid taking it personally when she fails to celebrate your achievements by pulling out confetti and a kazoo. Try to accept that she probably can’t express the excitement you’d like her to because every success you rack up sneers, “Hey, loser! How come she’s up there and you’re down here?”

If you do tell her about some win, consider pairing the news with mention of the years of grubby work and daily failures that went into it. This might help her view the success you’ve achieved as something attainable—as opposed to some magical gift: “OMG, I was just sitting on my porch drinking a beer, when my boss called and said, ‘You often cut work and smoke a lot of pot. Let’s give you the VP job.’”Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.

Astrology

For the week of May 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Torah is a primary sacred text of the Jewish religion. It consists of exactly 304,805 letters. When specially trained scribes make handwritten copies for ritual purposes, they must not make a single error in their transcription. The work may take as long as 18 months. Your attention to detail in the coming weeks doesn’t have to be quite so painstaking, Aries, but I hope that you’ll make a strenuous effort to be as diligent as you can possibly be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Born under the

sign of Taurus, Edmund Wilson was a renowned 20th century author and critic who wrote more than 30 books. He also served as editor for Vanity Fair and The New Republic, and influenced the work of at least seven major American novelists. When he was growing up, he spent most of his free time reading books: 16 hours a day during summer vacations. His parents, worried about his obsessive passion, bought him a baseball uniform, hoping to encourage him to diversify his interests. His response was to wear the uniform while reading books for 16 hours a day. I trust that you will be equally dedicated to your own holy cause or noble pursuit in the coming weeks, Taurus. You have cosmic clearance to be single-minded about doing what you love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s possible that you could pass for normal in the next three weeks; you might be able to fool a lot of people into thinking that you’re an average, ordinary contributor to the dull routine. But it will be far healthier for your relationship with yourself if you don’t do such a thing. It will also be a gift to your less daring associates, who in my opinion would benefit from having to engage with your creative agitation and fertile chaos. So my advice is to reveal yourself as an imperfect work-in-progress who’s experimenting with novel approaches to the game of life. Recognize your rough and raw features as potential building blocks for future achievements.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Paradise is scattered over the whole earth,” wrote the scientific poet Novalis, “and that is why it has become so unrecognizable.” Luckily for you, Cancerian, quite a few fragments of paradise are gathering in your vicinity. It’ll be like a big happy reunion of tiny miracles all coalescing to create a substantial dose of sublimity. Will you be ready to deal with this much radiance? Will you be receptive to so much relaxing freedom? I hope and pray that you won’t make a cowardly retreat into the trendy cynicism that so many people mistake for intelligence. (Because in that case, paradise might remain invisible.) Here’s my judicious advice: Be insistent on pleasure!

Be voracious for joy! Be focused on the quest for beautiful truths!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): These days, your friends, allies and loved ones want even more from you than they usually do. They crave more of your attention, more of your approval and more of your feedback. And that’s not all. Your friends, allies and loved ones also hope that you will give more love to yourself. They will be excited and they will feel blessed if you express an even bigger, brighter version of your big, bright soul. They will draw inspiration from your efforts to push harder and stronger to fulfill your purpose here on Earth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One of the advantages you get from reading my horoscopes is that I offer confidential information about the gods’ caprices and leanings. For example, I can tell you that Saturn—also known as Father Time—is now willing to allot you a more luxurious relationship with time than usual, on one condition: That you don’t squander the gift on trivial pursuits. So I encourage you to be discerning and disciplined about nourishing your soul’s craving for interesting freedom. If you demonstrate to Saturn how constructively you can use his blessing, he’ll be inclined to provide more dispensations in the future.

By Rob Brezsny

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Vincent van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night hangs on a wall in New York’s Museum of Modern Art. He created it in 1889 while living in a French asylum. Around that same time, 129 years ago, a sheepherder in Wyoming created a sourdough starter that is still fresh today. A cook named Lucille Clarke Dumbrill regularly pulls this frothy mass of yeast out of her refrigerator and uses it to make pancakes. In the coming weeks, Libra, I’d love to see you be equally resourceful in drawing on an old resource. The past will have offerings that could benefit your future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Love everyone

twice as much and twice as purely as you ever have before. Your mental health requires it! Your future dreams demand it! And please especially intensify your love for people you allegedly already love but sometimes don’t treat as well as you could because you take them for granted. Keep this Bible verse in mind, as well: “Don’t neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): After meditating on your astrological aspects for an hour, I dozed off. As I napped, I had a dream in which an androgynous angel came to me and said, “Please inform your Sagittarius readers that they should be callipygian in the next two weeks.” Taken back, my dreaming self said to the angel, “You mean ‘callipygian’ as in ‘having beautiful buttocks’?” “Yes, sir,” the angel replied. “Bootylicious. Bumtastic. Rumpalicious.” I was puzzled. “You mean like in a metaphorical way?”

I asked. “You mean Sagittarians should somehow cultivate the symbolic equivalent of having beautiful buttocks?” “Yes,” the angel said. “Sagittarians should be elegantly well-grounded. Flaunt their exquisite foundation. Get to the bottom of things with flair. Be sexy badasses as they focus on the basics.” “OK!” I said.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a favorable time to discuss in elegant detail the semi-secret things that are rarely or never talked about. It’s also a perfect moment to bring deep feelings and brave tenderness into situations that have been suffering from half-truths and pretense.

Be aggressively sensitive, my dear Capricorn. Take a bold stand on behalf of compassionate candor. And as you go about these holy tasks, be entertaining as well as profound. The cosmos have authorized you to be a winsome agent of change.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dali shows three clocks that seem to be partially liquefied, as if in the process of melting. His biographer Meredith Etherington-Smith speculated that he was inspired to create this surrealistic scene when he saw a slab of warm Camembert cheese melting on a dinner table. I foresee the possibility of a comparable development in your life, Aquarius.

Be alert for creative inspiration that strikes you in the midst of seemingly mundane circumstances.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “My whole

life is messed up with people falling in love with me,” said Piscean poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. She spoke the truth. She inspired a lot of adoration, and it stirred up more chaos than she was capable of managing. Luckily, you will have fewer problems with the attention coming your way, Pisces. I bet you’ll be skilled at gathering the benefits and you’ll be unflummoxed by the pitfalls. But you’ll still have to work hard at these tasks. Here’s some help: Tip No. 1: Stay in close touch with how you really feel about the people who express their interest in you. Tip No. 2: Don’t accept gifts with strings attached. Tip No. 3: Just because you’re honored or flattered that someone finds you attractive doesn’t mean that you should unquestioningly blend your energies with them.Y

Homework: Do you allow your imagination to indulge in fantasies that are wasteful, damaging or dumb? I dare you to stop it.
