”If they don’t see, then we show them.”—Naru (cinematic Comanche), 1719/2022. The Santa Fe Reporter published Bob White’s letter to the editor titled “True Story Preferred,” a film review of the 2022 summer blockbuster Prey. As an NDN anthropolocote now teaching critical NDN studies at NMSU, White’s letter warrants my editorial response.

Keeping perspective: Bob White’s main issue with this science fiction action horror film is its lacking historical truth. Yet, during the same time Comanches met with Spanish colonial officials in New Mexico, Comanches elsewhere were in regular contact with Frenchspeaking settlers on the Plains, French-speaking gun smugglers along the Mississippi delta, and even French-speaking fur trappers in Northern New Mexico’s once-forested mountain rang es. Therefore, no historical discrepancies exist for Comanche & Blackfeet producer Jhane Myers and her team guiding Prey filmmakers in depicting 18th-century cinematic Comanche interactions with agents of Euroamerican set tler-colonial enterprise speaking French or SpanishRatheralike.than emboldening White’s defi cit-oriented mindset, I purpose my remaining words to celebrate what Myers has accom plished by amplifying Comanche voices and visions to express such vibrant forms of Comanche peoplehood across cinematic spacetime and beyond.

Low water levels in Green Mountain Reservoir near Silverthorn, Colorado.

“It’s getting harder and harder to save more with just conservation,” Roach says. “We don’t think we can conserve our way out of the potential supply reductions and de mandThat’sincreases.”where the proposed return flow pipeline comes in, diverting effluent back to the Rio Grande and creating a water credit that enables the Buckman Direct Diversion to extract an equivalent volume later. A 2015 study explored future impacts to Santa Fe’s water supply, predicting short ages on the Colorado and Rio Grande. That led the city, county and other partners to de velop a plan for the project, which William Schneider, the city’s water resource coordi nator, calls the “nexus” of Santa Fe’s response to shortages in that it will make Colorado River water go two to three times further. Roach hopes to see the pipeline in place in three to five years. Engineering design phases are underway (the city was recently awarded a $6 million grant from the federal govern ment for design and construction) and offi cials are seeking permits. The project has garnered significant opposition. Communities downstream from the city rely on the effluent for agri culture, ecosystems and cultural purpos es; the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority, the Interstate Stream Commission, the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District and the Bureau of Reclamation support the pipeline.

The new reality will require Santa Fe to continue conversations with Denver, Las Vegas, Nevada and other western cities, RoachAaronsays.Derwingson, water projects direc tor for The Nature Conservancy’s Colorado River Program, says collaboration between the basin’s water users leads to solutions. “The Colorado River system is much more than a giant plumbing network,” he tells SFR. “It’s a vast and interconnected system with fish and wildlife that are found nowhere else on the Derwingsonplanet.” works closely with agricultural water users, many of whom are willing to make sacrifices for the basin’s health, but they worry it’ll be in vain if the whole system doesn’t follow suit. “If the Upper Basin doesn’t see action from the Lower Basin, they can fairly ask, ‘What’s the point of us saving a bunch of water only for it to be used elsewhere?’” Derwingson says. “Everybody’s gotta walk through this door arm in arm.”

Santa Fe Water Division Director Jesse Roach says the city has been planning for po tential shortages since 2015 and is working on a new drought-tracking tool with an atten dant water-use reduction policy, plus the San Juan-Chama Return Flow Pipeline. City and county officials have been devel oping the tool for over a year. It’s intended to gauge drought conditions and communicate them to the public, paving the way for water restrictions based on a zero-to-10 index. Zero would mean water crisis; 10 would be ideal conditions. The metrics reflect surface water availability, the health of groundwater resources and overall drought levels in the county, Roach explains. It’s specific to local conditions, though—while drought on the Colorado would impact Santa Fe’s supply of San Juan-Chama Project water and the city’s resilience, the index wouldn’t re flectTheit. city’s Water Conservation Office will join with city and coun ty committees to come up with restrictions corresponding to dif ferent drought levels. Once they define policy responses, they’ll be incorporated into city code. As of February, the last time the group updated the numbers, the drought level was pegged at 6.7. For now, there are no manda toryChristinerestrictions.Chavez, the city’s water conservation manager, is still looking for ways to save wa ter. Last spring, officials started a campaign encouraging native, xe ric outdoor plantings that double as pollinators; and offering “water wise” businesses free marketing as an incentive.

City water managers figured Interior would take steps, but the department’s an nouncement serves as a reminder: Santa Fe must make the most of dwindling water supplies and collaborate with cities up and downstream.TheColorado doesn’t flow through New Mexico, but the San Juan River—its tribu tary—does. It supplies water to the federal San Juan-Chama Project, which delivers water to the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District and cities along the Rio Grande. (In Santa Fe, the water comes through the Buckman Direct Diversion and makes up roughly half the wa ter the city uses each year.)

Shallow River Blues

On Aug. 16, the US Interior Department acknowledged the grim reality, announcing urgent actions to protect what water remains, including mandatory water cuts for Arizona, Nevada and Mexico. While our state isn’t facing any imme diate cuts, the announcement raises ques tions: Will New Mexico’s allotment from the Colorado suffer down the line? And how is Santa Fe planning for a drier future?

HOUSTONJASON

With the Colorado River in crisis, strategies shift for municipal water management

he Colorado River system is facing a historic drought crisis—a well-set tled, if troubling fact.

“Whether it’s municipal wa ter restrictions, impacts at the grocery store or you can’t fish your favorite stream—no mat ter who you are or what you care about, the status quo is gonna be bad,” he says.

“We used to watch everything from her back porch,” Powell said. “That’s what our family did.” His grandmother passed away a few years ago. “So I’m going to put in some gloom for her because I think that she would be proud to see me here, doing this now,” he said.City Councilor Sig Lindell said she had written down “let’s get rid of physical pain,” because her partner has been “suffering a lot of physical pain and I wish it to go away.”

“My gloom is the people we lost, trying to remember, get better, heal up and give people a chance to come back together,” he said. Come together they did. Event organiz ers say just over 71,000 people attended this year’s Zozobra, outpacing the record-setting 2019 pre-COVID burn when 63,000 people went.

While this year’s Zozobra was the first without restrictions since the pandemic be gan, its impact continues to reverberate.

Big crowds brought a visible police pres ence, with Santa Fe Police Department reporting close to 200 law enforcement per sonnel on site. Deputy Police Chief Matthew Champlin told SFR via email Saturday morn ing Zozobra was “overall a quiet night,” with “no arrests, no citations and no major inci dents that I’m aware of.”

“This was a group of artists that were ex perimenting and doing things,” Sandoval said, noting that when Shuster bequeathed Zozobra to the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe in 1964, he provided a standardized formula for building the puppet because he saw, at the time, “a lack of artistic ability” in the club. That’s changed in the decades since. “Now as we’re going back to what he did in the ‘20s and the ‘30s and the ‘40s, people are getting a little uncomfortable because they think we’re messing with their tradition,” Sandoval not ed, “but the way a tradition stays new is you have to breathe in new life. This is live the ater. Zozobra is created from all the gloom from that year. He has to be relevant. And the way that he’s relevant is, he has to change and adapt.”Asfor Sandoval’s gloom this year: “I’m tired of us seeing each other as labels. We don’t see each other as human beings any more. Our political system is disaster…and both sides are responsible for that. I don’t agree with a lot of stuff on the right, but I think that we just need to understand that we’re all human beings. This is what this is all about…we cause gloom in ourselves…we cause and put gloom in the world. We all want to be loved. We all want to be cared for. I just wish we could get to a point where we could trust each other once again.”

n unfaithful boyfriend’s shirt. A bra from a breast cancer survivor. The Art of the Deal by Donald Trump. These were just a few of the items attendees at the 98th Burning of Will Shuster’s Zozobra brought to burn in the hours leading up to the annual conflagration of woe. Many others arrived empty-handed but ready to put their glooms in writing on topics ranging from the personal—lost love, health woes, dearly departed friends, family and pets—to the more global issues of the war in Ukraine, wildfires and, as ever, COVID-19.

Zozobra Event Chairman Ray Sandoval added his own personal touches to the 50foot marionette, including tattooed sleeves and his first-ever comb-over. “He’s never had combed-over, messy hair,” Sandoval said.

State Health Department Communications Director Jodi McGinnis Porter wrote down a succinct expletive directed at COVID-19 and deposited it in one of the evening’s gloom box.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who recently contracted COVID-19, showed up masked after testing negative for several days.“It’s good science,” she said of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s masking recommendation. She said she was excited to be attending. “This is as close to Zozobra as I’ve ever been in my whole life,” she told SFR in a brief interview above the field in the shadow of the giant puppet. That being said, COVID-19 remained front of mind and at the top of her gloom list. “COVID-anxiety, I need it lifted forever,” she said. “It doesn’t mean it goes away, but I need the anxiety lifted away.” Mayor Alan Webber also referenced COVID-19 as his number one gloom for 2022.

Pamela Harrison traveled from Las Cruces to attend her first Zozobra in the wake of her sister’s recent death. “Nobody else wanted to come and I said, ‘I’m coming,’” she said. “Every day is a gift. I’m letting the past go and moving on and I’m here to Williamparty.”Powell came to work. A camera man with Albuquerque-based db Production Services, Powell grew up watching Zozobra from his grandmother’s nearby home.

Sandoval says he views The Decades Project, in which Zozobra morphs to reflect specific eras leading up to 2024’s 100th an niversary, as a continuation of the creativity that sparked artist Will Shuster and his peers to create the tradition in the first place.

Ramirez Thomas Elementary School fourth-grade teacher George Ossorgin deliv ered a pouch filled with his students’ glooms. “One of the first things they get to do as fourth grade writers is they write something that I don’t get to see; their mom doesn’t get to see; only they get to see—they don’t even have to put their name on it,” Ossorgin said. “They just write that thing that’s been both ering them and then just fold it up, put it in the bag,” and wait for it to go up in smoke with Old Man Gloom. So it was throughout the evening at the gloom table (where this writer works each year), as some attendees arrived with pre-written glooms, while others hunkered down and made a laundry list of compound ed woe. Two young women scrawled their ex-boyfriends’ names before high-fiving each other and yelling “burn” simultaneously. A young boy bemoaned the loss of his pet rat; a woman burst into tears as she recorded the grief over losing her cat. One man mentioned his dental problems; another, her father’s cancerSomediagnosis.arrivedto the yearly incineration of misery with global suffering on their minds. Musician Karina Wilson, who performed with Mariachi Sonidos Del Monte as part of the night’s entertainment, earlier in the year ran a crowd-funding campaign for friends— also musicians—living in Ukraine, raising $2,000 to send both funds and medical sup plies. They were on her mind in the hours be fore Zozobra, as well as those suffering closer to home.“Ithink a lot about the fire victims now,” in New Mexico, she said. Fire also topped US Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández’s gloom list. “My gloom is quite ob vious,” the New Mexico Democrat said. “That the Forest Service started two fires,” she said, referencing the controlled burns that led to the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire.

The evening featured ‘90s-era music as part of event hosts Santa Fe Kiwanis Club’s Decades Project, with songs such as “What’s Up,” by 4 Non Blondes, “Creep” by Radiohead and “Baila Esta Cumbia” by Selena (plus a whole lot of other earworms). The Zozobra house band played a zippy “Come as You Are” by Nirvana as the fire dancing began.

‘90s-Themed Brings Hella Crowd

Stuffed with gloom, Zozobra burned Sept. 2 for an audience of more than 71,000 attendees.

“I had this dream to put on a fest for a long time,” Baxter tells SFR. “I feel like with the advent of Netflix, comedy was something that people used to do more occasionally, but all you have to do now is click that button and there’s an endless stream of brilliant comedi ans at our fingertips.” What’s better about seeing a comic live, according to Baxter, is the unique experience.

“There are little cutaway jokes, side jokes, interplay with the audience that you don’t get in a special, and I actually think much of that is the best part,” she says. “There’s a sense of place, a sense of coming together for this special experience, and it happens only once, then it’s Indeed,over.”that sense of urgency is where comedy lives, and being there in person and with others takes the experience to another level. The festival model has also catapulted lesser-known comics to prominence. Take Korey Herrera (Cochiti Pueblo and Navajo), who had only been doing comedy four months when he was selected for the 2019 CloudTop fest.

“It was a fast-track to understanding com edy in general,” Herrera says. “I only had five minutes then, and I learned how to build up my time—and it was really helpful for me to meet other Herrera,comedians.”whorecently released his debut comedy EP, All Rezzed Out, will perform at the upcoming fest as part of the Indigenous Showcase with Adrianne Chalepah, Josh Fournier and Ricardo Caté. He says come dy was just a daily occurrence when he was growing up. “One thing was that our elders, our Navajo family, really roasts us when we’re kids,” Herrera explains. “There are so many come dians in our communities who’ve never done comedy, and so many people who I feel would do really Elsewherewell.”in the festival, you’ll find ap pearances from members of local troupe Wayward Comedy (more on that later) plus notable locals including Miljen Aljinovic, Quinn Fontaine and Carlos Medina.

CloudTop Comedy Festival returns after two dormant years to take over the Railyard with nonstop laughs NO KITTIES WERE MADE WET IN THE MAKING OF THIS COVER PACKAGE

e’ve heard the story so many times by now it’s almost funny: Awesome thing began, COVID-19 thwarted awesome thing a few hours later. Among such things: the CloudTop Comedy Festival, which kicked off in 2019 at various venues in Santa Fe and brought together nu merous bigger-name comics such as Fortune Feimster, Maria Bamford, James Adomian, Kellen Erskine and Naomi Ekperigin with a slew of Santa Fe joke-makers. According to founder and organizer Jessica Baxter, roughly 1,000 tickets were sold that year (a pretty huge number in Santa Fe) and things were looking pretty swell for 2020, too. Then everyone got sick. The festival is back this year, however, and bigger than ever: CloudTop takes over the Santa Fe Farmers Market Pavilion, Violet Crown Cinema, Jean Cocteau Cinema, Altar Spirits and the Sage Social Kitchen+Bar next week with more local, regional and national comics than we could possibly print in one story. It’s Baxterhuge.had conceived the idea a million years ago, and following a stint at Indiana University (where she picked up her master’s in arts administration) and another as the Santa Fe Opera’s director of special events, she finally pulled the trigger.

SFR: Let’s talk about these smaller festivals, or up-and-coming festi vals, to be specific. As a comedian who tours a lot, is there a major dif ference as far as you’re concerned with club work versus festival work? Are grassroots fests valu able to comedians at all levels?

T here’s a sense of place, a sense of coming together for this experience,specialand it happens only once, then it’s over.

Speaking of boundaries, I read in an interview from some years back that you found the idea of social aware ness having a negative impact on com “ridiculous.” A lot has changed, of course, and it seems audiences are wanting more from their comics. Can we just call this progress, or…? In other CONTINUED 15

heard me say that and said, ‘You still are!’ But comedy was just a part of life growing up and working in construction. I think it was just part of making a brutal day go by easier.” Medina, who is also an accomplished mariachi, has gained notoriety as the Norteño-focused comic, which is to say his representations of Nuevo Mexicano culture combined with his popular “What Are You Doin?” YouTube videos have earned him a bit of celebrity, as have his various characters such as Graviel De La Plaga. At CloudTop, he’ll be one of the more recognizable names.

One of the organizers for the fest said that people are more familiar with com edy now because of Netflix and streaming specials. Would you say that’s true? I do think people are more familiar with it.

SFREPORTER.COM • SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2022 13

The big issue before was, when you watched five-minute sets and you assumed it was al ways going to be polished or that that five minutes was going to be like their whole hour with no sense of pace or stories or differ ent styles mixed in. That didn’t necessarily help, though it brought a lot of people out. With Netflix, you’re building fanbases based on specials. They know what you do, you’ve done an hour, and also I think it teaches an audience that, you know what, standup is a long-form thing. People who casually know it might now know you do full hours. People confuse it with improv, that each time you come up with something new. You see this polished work now, and people understand what it is—it’s a show, it’s a performance, not just a random person babbling in a bar. Standup is one of those things that should not have any boundaries. It’s a person and a mic, it’s pretty straight forward; what you do with that space, it can be anything. I’m not a big fan of putting boundaries on what the art form can be, because it kind of defeats the purpose. Comedy and tragedy go hand in hand, you can play off one, like if you’re talking about a brutally painful story and you find moments of levity and find the right joke, it takes on more meaning. As a comic, what I hope people understand is there are many different styles of comedy. Comedy can come in short, five-minute sets, an hour, they’re all different, it’s all part of what it means.

“A good friend of mine—Lee Zlotoff, who created MacGyver, has always given me the advice: ‘The more unique, the more appeal ing to the masses.’ He says to never give up the idea you have, because one day it might be huge.”Speaking of which, festival headliners Beth Stelling and Hari Kondabolu are big gets for our sleepy little town. Stelling might best be known for her HBO special Girl Daddy, though appearances on late night television certainly haven’t hurt her profile. Most likely, you know Kondabolu as the guy who took on The Simpsons’ Apu with his 2017 documen tary film, The Problem with Apu. While that resulted in major changes at the enduring an imated sitcom, it is, of course, hardly the only thing for which Kondabolu is known. He’s a standup and writer, not to mention co-host of the Politically Re-Active podcast with his fellow comic and CNN contributor W Kamau Bell. In other words, he was worth track ing down tirelessly and through at least four emails for a bit of the old Q&A.

Hari Kondabolu: Theaters are very different things, right? Club work, you know, if you have a following in a town, that’s great, because you’ll have fans in the audience. But there are also just people going to a com edy club because it has the word ‘comedy’ in it, and they assume it’s one thing, but a fest, at least, peo ple, I think, know what they’re paying for. You’re seeing specific performers, there’s some level of curation involved—I feel like that gives people…that helps. It brings self-selected comedy fans, it brings out a wid er population. When it happens on television,

“I definitely appreciate comedy, but I know how many ways the house of cards can come crashing down, so I wanted to make sure it keeps on going,” Lawless says. “I’m trying to be the ears of the group—making sure the future goals we all have come together. But the burnout is real. I don’t think a lot of people realize that. It’s really, really real. There’s a lot of projections in comedy.” Madley concurs. In a large group of comedians with competing egos, keeping it together while aligning with the Wayward ethos is key. “First the priority: stay friends. Second: put on a show,” she says. “I think providing more services for the community is something Wayward is looking at. We look at ourselves as a production company/enter tainment company. Santa Fe could be as big a market as Albuquerque because we’re already an art town. People are really trying to make our theater scenes here match a national level of professionalism. That’s why we’re committed to Wayward being a communal thing, rath er than putting any of us in charge. There’s no reason why the comedy scene shouldn’t be as big as the music scene.”Lawless even has a few ideas for up-and-coming comics.“My number one rule has always been that within the first 30 seconds, you’ve got to have the audience laugh ing with your joke,” he says. “Choosing which goes first is critical. You want to kill them. You can do whatever else“Goafter.”out and support people, your local comedians!” Madley adds. “Go out there at [Chile Line] and try—un less you’re racist.”

Santa Fe isn’t known far and wide for its comedy scene, which might not shock anyone reading this—but the folks who make up the decentralized troupe Wayward Comedy are betting big that we could change that per ception and transform the town into a bit of a regional hub that stands proudly with Albuquerque’s ever-grow ing standup “Sometimesscene.people call us ‘the nicest mic in the state’,” longtime Wayward member Isabel Madley tells SFR. “A lot of times, when you go to an open mic, it’s co medians working on their material, trying to get better and see what works. We’ve also been called ‘the easiest mic in the state,’ because it’s like under-hand pitches sometimes. Compared to us, Albuquerque is a tough crowd.”Demanding crowds aside, standup has been a life long goal for many of Wayward’s members. Comic Evan Galpert, for example, is one of the “leaders” of the pack insofar as there can be a leader in a fluid, ever-chang ing organization that doesn’t have much structure. For Galpert, Wayward has been the tonic against what he calls a “all-consuming kind of life;” that capitalist hell of work-rest-repeat. It’s comedy, not work, that’s given him a new kind of satisfaction. His stints in real estate, film and other creative pursuits simply couldn’t compete. “We’ve only been doing [Wayward] for a couple of years, and that’s not a whole lot of time in the comedy world,” Galpert explains. “A couple of us were room mates at a house we called ‘the Baca House of Wayward Boys’—or an orphanage for adult alcoholics, we also called it. We all desperately wanted to do something cre ative together, and five-minute sets were the only kind of momentum we could find. In between shifts at Trader Joe’s, it just continued to grow.” After a few practice sessions with an expanding group, he figured they were actually funnier and more clever than they originally expected—though, Galpert notes, their output was probably terrible looking back.

Wanting a shot for the group in a public setting, he ner vously approached the Chile Line Brewery for a night or two where they could do public standup. Six years later, the Wednesday night standup events are still go ing strong and have become a critical spot for wannabe comics to hone their skills. “We needed to put that show together,” Galpert con tinues. “We needed to do that as a group. Since then, it’s been anyone else who wants to come into the group. It keeps growing, like a Little Shop of Horrors situation. And it grew way more than I ever anticipated.”

The growth has expanded to include events with Santa Fe Improv (which will also have a presence at CloudTop), the Jean Cocteau Cinema, the Santa Fe Playhouse and, of course, the upcoming CloudTop Comedy festival. Reaching those heights requires some one a little detail-oriented. Enter Ryan Lawless, the de tails guy—the comic who is just as worried about how the speakers are working and how the lights are affect ing the audience as he is about his jokes.

I’m curious about your future as a film maker. Is this still something that’s on your mind and, if so, what directions do you think you might take? Of course, I have a ton of ideas for things I’d like to do. But I’m not primarily a filmmaker, so certainly as I think any filmmaker knows, there’s financing, pitching...it’s a lot, but I’m not opposed. I just think if I’m going to do it, I need the time to narrow it down. I don’t see it coming anytime soon, but I’m certain ly thinking about other ideas. I like the idea [that] I’m learning something. I like having an impact on pop culture through my art. I didn’t think [The Problem with Apu] was a global story, I didn’t think it was going to be part of high school or grad school curriculum—it’s a pop documentary that was made for TRU TV, the prank network. You don’t think it’s going to evolve into something bigger. My goal has always been, if I’m shifting dialogue, I always assumed it would be through my standup. But to get bigger audiences through that doc is a blessing and a curse: So many people have seen it, but on the other side of it, people for get I’m actually a standup. That’s primarily what I do, and I’ve been doing it a long time. The dreaded pandemic question: Did you spend that time honing your craft? Seems like a lot of people expected an awful lot from artists over the last few years, but you’re, like, a human person, so…? It was less the pandemic and more the fact I had a kid—the two of those things together. I wasn’t going onstage, but that meant I got to spend every day with my kid. That first year of his life, I was there. If I had been able to do standup, I think it would have been strange for me knowing my kid is here and I’m not at home. It’s still weird when I travel now. To me, the pandemic was this very bizarre bless ing as much as it was this devastating thing. We had a kid and I got to actually experience what Scandinavians experience—spending time with my child. There were opportuni ties to do stuff online, do shows outside, but before the pandemic I hated performing out side to begin with. And secondly, I don’t want to do Zoom comedy. I like the fact that I’m not the funny guy in the office, the funny guy on the conference call. I took the time to be with my kid and reflect. I haven’t seriously thought about myself outside of comedy in so many years. I think ultimately, when I went back to comedy, I felt really refreshed. I saw it as an art form. Do you think of your work as plotted out, joke for joke, or is it more an organic evo lution over time? It starts as one and then turns to the other. Initially, it starts organically. When British comics plan for the Edinburgh Fringe Fest, and they’re plotting out their hours, they’re going into it with the idea of it being some kind of themed piece. With me, it’s kind of hy brid. I’m looking for the best jokes I have, and that’s not necessarily something I can force myself to write. Once you collect enough pieces, you see patterns, things you want to write about or add. Is it saying something big ger about society as you intended? At a cer tain stage, I’m plotting and repositioning and fitting the mold, but in the beginning, it has to come from a natural place.

There are no real boundaries—there are re percussions, and there always have been repercussions. There aren’t laws that have been passed that have restricted our rights, but the sensibilities of both the market and the individuals have changed. By the market, I mean whether it’s advertisers or clubs—if they’re willing to invest in an act, well, that’s capitalism, that’s not cancel culture. There have been tons of acts who literally were not allowed to perform on certain stages. It’s dif ferent now because before, those lines were always drawn by white, cis-hetero men. They defined what is acceptable, what is OK, what we find funny, what we don’t. Now it doesn’t look that way. Now that you have a broader range of people who, especially because of the internet, are spending money on things they want to see…before I don’t think marginal ized people had money to spend. Now it’s a thing where this person has $20 to buy this thing or subscribe to XYZ, and you don’t want to lose that base. This is just how culture has always changed with time, this is what hap pens when more people have voices who were suppressed in the past. It wasn’t like people in the past, when they heard racist jokes, thought, ‘That’s great!’ Now we’ve opened that up so it does have impact. Whenever I hear comics talk about how you can’t say any thing—and I’ve heard so many standup bits about political correctness like you can’t say anything—it’s like, you’re saying this in front of an audience. You just said it. What are you talking about? It’s like when they say Louis CK got can celed? He just won a Grammy! Do certain contingents look down on him? Yes. But is he not making money? If you’ve been ‘canceled,’ it gives you a whole new market of people who buy into the idea of people doing something on edge. There are ways people view you dif ferently. You’re not really being canceled.

CHOMP ’N’ SLAP We’re always over here like, “Hip-hop is alive and well in Santa Fe,” even as people basically tell us they’ve tried nothing to find it but are all out of ideas. Hear us now: There’s a killer hip-hop showcase coming to the CHOMP Food Hall this weekend, and anyone looking for a little bit of the old boom-bap should write that shit down. According to organizer and DJ, Dominick Gonza les, aka DJ D-MONIC, it’s all about “celebrating the four elements of hip-hop: DJing, MCing, breakdancing and graffiti.” To that end, iconic performers and producers are hitting the mic, from NYC’s Large Professor and Massachusetts’ Termanology to hometown heroes Outstanding Citizens Collective. Expect Taos-based act The SoothSayers, too. Did we mention the full bar? That means 21-plus—sorry, kids. (ADV) Summer Hip-Hop Showcase: 9 pm Saturday, Sept. 10 $15-$20.

Artist Chaz John (Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska/Mis sissippi Band Choctaw/European) has always seen the humorous side of art, and he brings that to his new piece, “Spin Ya Pins (Sundance Through COVID 2022),” a part of the CCA’s current exhibit, Self-Determined. John uses elements of painting, sculpture and tattoo, merging them with his Indigenous roots and the return to his people’s beloved Sundance Ceremony, which was put on hold during the pandemic but made a return this year. “Every body who made it happen really wanted to be there and really made it work,” John tells SFR. “It felt like...one of most positive and self-determined things I’ve been a part of lately.” Learn more about John’s new work at a tour and talk this weekend with the artist plus curators Danyelle Means (Oglala Lakota) and Kiersten Fellrath. “I expe rienced a community keeping a ceremony going,” John adds. “That’s what it’s all about—keeping all these things going for the next generation.” (ADV)

Artist and Alas de Agua Art Collective mem ber Jessica Ortiz has long been enamored with the mural arts. As a teenager, a chance meeting with muralist Sammy Leyba led to numerous large-scale projects and mosaic work. Later, after 15 years living on the West Coast, her return to Santa Fe came with a re turn to murals, too, particularly through Alas de Agua, which she joined as a way to both feel more deeply ensconced with communi ty and to offer the kind of support to local youths that was so important to her as a kid. It’s been a wild ride, Ortiz says, and one full of art, poetry and kinship—the sprawling mural along the interior swimming pool of the Salvador Perez rec center would be no table enough alone. Now, after nearly four years working with Alas, Ortiz will unveil her first-ever solo show of mixed-media smaller works.“I’ve worked with Alas in becoming more aware of my community and my environ ment,” Ortiz tells SFR. “I decided to make sure my intent was to get in touch with my inner-self, my culture, my roots, and this is the first time I’ve ever actually gone that deep; usually my sketches were, in my eyes, shallow...little things here and there.” In Prayers, Ortiz makes use of layer ing and textures through acrylics, found objects, spray paint, glitter and whatever else catches her fancy. One piece featuring Ortiz’s version of St. Sebastian, for example, finds golden syringes standing in for arrows. Elsewhere in the show, a colorful sacred heart blends religious iconography with an almost tattoo-like quality, and the thick, three-dimensional lines that represent its halo look both intentional and passionately crafted in a moment of intensity. Strokes and shapes become clues to deeper emotions— you can almost feel Ortiz facing personal traumas.“Itwas a challenge trying to shrink it down to a smaller scale, trying to tell a sto ry and doing it in a form that people could take home with them instead of, with a mu ral, passing it on the street,” she explains. “Going deep and getting the feelings out... you have to see the paintings up close. My St. Sebastian, you have to see it up close. It’s a tribute to the martyr, the afflicted, the ad dicted. It was hard. Your self-confidence and self-esteem—you’re always wondering what people are thinking about something like that, but you’ve got to challenge yourself.” And so she has, not just to create works for more intimate exhibits, but to be the type of person she needed when she was starting down the road of self-taught art. Ortiz was, she says, “born into artistry.” Prepping for her show, she adds, helped her consider that lineage.“It’s digging deep,” she says of the process. “Talk to your ancestors. It’s very freeing.” (Alex De Vore)

SO FINE OK, so Fiesta is upon us, and part of whenever we do anything in Santa Fe is finding folks out there in the wild showing off their arts and crafts and goods and stuff. Santa Fe loves throwing up vendor booths on and around the Plaza, too, so we’ve got that going for us. We’re speaking, of course, of the upcoming Fiesta Fine Arts and Crafts Market, a weekend-long event featuring purveyors of such fine goods as handmade jewelry, leather, paintings, photos, wood products, handblown glass and much more. Collectors, newcomers and hangers-on will have a chance to meet with and learn from artists and craftspeople, or maybe even just show up and jumpstart a new obsession. We’d also point out that this time of the year comes with so much good street food. Your move, Santa Fe. (ADV) Fiesta Fine Arts and Crafts Market: 9 am-5 pm Friday, Sept. 9-Sunday, Sept. 11.

It’s a community education event, we want people to know what we’re planning so they can get ahold of us. People can sign up for our mailing list [at liveartssantafe. org]; they can talk to their elected officials about how they want to see this happen.

Or, I should say, right now we’re asking for pledges.

LiveArts Santa Fe is an arts organization that wants to take over the Greer Garson Theater Center on the old CSF/SFUAD campus to open a pro conservatory training program for actors and technicians, a resident theater company—as well as community programs that offer affordable rental opportunities. We have a lot of alums involved, as well as for mer professors and employees, but also folks like me who grew up just going there and recognize the value of the facility to Santa Fe as a performing arts venue. We started working on this in 2018. When you spend so much time in the theater, espe cially in educational programs, you become attached to the facility. As an artist, you’re working in there so much, it becomes part of your brand, almost. When [we] found out the school was closing, we had to make sure that it gets to be a performance art venue in the future. We were meeting with politicians, doing all sorts of things; we were part of the original [KDC/Cienda Partners] proposal when they were going to take over the cam pus. When they pulled out, we didn’t know what to do, but when we heard they were go ing to do a new RFP—well, that’s something we can handle as arts professionals. We are at a place where we can make a solid propos al. Right now we’re assuming the community pillar of the organization is going to have opportunities for youth. One of the points of this event is we’re going to have surveys and find out what people want to most see in that building. Do you think Santa Fe can support another theater company? We have so many for the size of the town. When it comes down to it, the presenting organizations are hungry for more space, so we’ve been talking with them; we’ve had these roundtable discussions, and most of these organizations are talking and saying, ‘There’s not enough availability at the... venues in town, and some are not perfect for what we want to do.’ What it looks like is going to be the structure is that the main stage is going to be available for dance, for music, for touring things and potentially the ater companies will rent it from time to time. But we don’t really have a big enough theater audience to fill up a 500-seat venue, not for a three-week run, so there’s also the black box space that I think will be utilized by the theater community. That 90-seat black box, flexible space? I think will be of great appeal to theIt’scompanies.uniquetoeducational institutions a lot of times, these spaces existing. You don’t often see a community invest in a community center that has classrooms, workshop spac es, a stage. That’s either an established the ater you’d only find in a big city, or it comes with an educational institution. How can interested parties get involved? Well, there are a number of ways, really, to get involved. First is we’re having the event on Saturday, Sept. 10 at Greer Garson, and that is sponsored by LiveArts, Theater Santa Fe and the City of Santa Fe. It’s an informational session with tours, because most people don’t know it exists. We’re going to have a presentation of what we’re planning to do and we’re going to be talking to people about what they want to see, too; a Q&A, and hopefully a representative from the city who can answer the nuts and bolts questions about the whole RFP process.

SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2022 • SFREPORTER.COM20

As the state of the Midtown Campus remains in flux, a new-ish arts organization/consortium dubbed LiveArts Santa Fe hopes to transform the Greer Garson Theater Center into an allencompassing education space, performance venue and resource for just about anybody. Enter Vaughn Irving, president of LiveArts and the former creative director for the Santa Fe Play house. Irving and his ragtag crew of theater pros, admin folk, former College of Santa Fe/Santa Fe University of Art & Design faculty and assorted others have been working on a plan for the space since 2018. Sure, COVID slowed things down, but at an upcoming open house on the cam pus (1-4 pm Saturday, Sept. 10. Free. Greer Garson Theater, 1600 St. Michael’s Drive, liveartssantafe.org), Santa Feans will have an opportunity to learn more, speak with members of LiveArts, fill out surveys and get a closer look at the long-misunderstood Greer Garson. We spoke with Irving to get a better idea of what’s up. This interview has been edited for clarity and space. (Alex De Vore) OK, give us the elevator pitch—who are you and what do you want?

While all the city surveys have pointed to people caring about this venue remaining a performance venue, there hasn’t been a lot of movement, and we want to make sure the city knows that people care about it.

Dylan Blanchard spreads out on his new full-length record, ...kind of a bummer BY ALEX DE alex@sfreporter.comVORE

Dylan Blanchard digs into the sadsies on his newest record, ...kind of a bummer.

SFREPORTER.COM • SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2022 MUSIC25SFREPORTER.COM/ MUSIC

Of course, Blanchard doesn’t particular ly sound like any of these things on his new full-length, ...kind of a bummer, out now, also on Matron Records. Then again, they’re not too far from the nuts and bolts of what he’s laying down. Blanchard, for example, has very publicly espoused a love for the Midwest emo of the mid-to-late ’90s and early aughts, and don’t even get me started on the sym phonic piano buildup from album opener “Meaninglessness.”Actually, do get me started, because it’s a bit of a banger. In my anxiety-addled brain, I can draw comparisons between Blanchard’s balladry to that of once-powerful songwrit er Billy Corgan’s 88-key intro and outtro from Smashing Pumpkins’ 1995 alterna-rock masterpiece (yeah, masterpiece) Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Here, though, rather than a reverb-laden ultra-pro studio, plus the kind of bucks that keep bands exper imenting in such spaces for ages, Blanchard has adopted a spartan and nomadic recording process: Some tracks were recorded with lo cal sound wunerkind Kabby Kabakoff at his Kabby Sound Studio; others were thrown together with a mobile rig belonging to Holy Garden District (that’s a local band) guitarist Ben Clary (also a sound champ; also, he’s on this album). When it comes to “Meaninglessness,” though, something about the slightly flawed execution, the lo-fi constraints of a non-pro recording setup, the slightly off-key vocal work by Blanchard...well, it just works. If we are, in fact, to feel meaninglessness with the guy, a slow build from solo piano and a lone voice to an almost movie scorelike bit of guitar and chord organ, those movements get us there. There are mo ments, too, and this is true of the entire record, where it sounds like Blanchard doesn’t feel fully confident in his sing ing. Others might find this lacking; I find it human and beautiful and en tirely more interesting than an auto-tuned bazillionth take that sounds sonically perfect. “It’s like I have a tendency to gaze into the void a lot—the state of the world, things that are bad,” Blanchard tells SFR. “I dunno, just... life that can kind of get under me. One way of coping is writing about it.” Lyrically, then, ...kind of a bummer is just that, even if it’s lousy with fun, heavy and garage-y guitar riffs and subtle use of Quasiesque synths and keys. Musically, it’s more like kind of a good time. Lyrically, Blanchard cuts deep through stream-of-consciousness poetry.“Iswore

Blanchard Sings the Blues

I’d have an answer,” he sings on late album track, “A Monster,” “When I didn’t have an answer, I swore some more and kicked the dirt.” Oh, baby, that hurts so right.

H ard to believe it’s been four years since Santa Fe multi-instrumental ist and songwriter Dylan Blanchard put out his debut 7-inch single A Ghost in Arroyo Hondo through local label Matron Records, but them’s the breaks when we’ve all lived through some of the absolute worst fucking years on record, and Blanchard knows it. He still gets kind of sad, too, though he’s the first to admit that he’s “a relatively happy guy with a lucky life.” Even so, sometimes people feel empty— it’s called depression, friends—and those feelings just so happen to be behind most kickass songs across time. To put it another way, “Walkin’ on Sunshine” is all well and good, but wouldn’t we rather get into some serious wallowing with old Get Up Kids, some of those crushing Billie Holiday tunes or, like, pretty much the entire Radiohead catalogue?

Sadly, not everything on bummer is a win ner, and some of the mixing and mastering even obscures certain vocal phrases behind Blanchard’s hired guns: the aforementioned Clary, formerly local Ten Ten Division front woman Vonnie Kyle and still-local drummer Marcus DiFillippo—a beast of a percussionist if ever there was one. “I’ve Seen You,” for ex ample, brushes up against mathy guitar and a feel akin to ’80s pop, but audio effects make the vocals feel like an afterthought, or almost like Blanchard had tired of re-litigating his own neuroses by the time he laid it down. If you stay with it, you’ll find a competent ode to being unsure of who one is, a relatable conundrum,Nevertheless,indeed.Blanchard sticks the land ing with closer “There is Nothing,” a drum machine jam and head-bobber with some sneaky They Might Be Giants-esque flair. Like them, Blanchard dreamed of glory, or at least of digging into heavy subjects with a pleasing audio palette from which to pull. We’ll call it experimentation and maturation. Whether or not he knows it—and he explicitly says it’s not his in tent, by the way—Blanchard winds up as a storyteller on this final track, he finds a sense of movement. Similar to the record’s third track, “At Every Curve,” for which lo cal musician Luke Bern Carr has shot and is currently editing a music video (Blanchard’s first), his ultimate deal seems to be one of a sensitive guy with access to a lot of cool toys. We’ve seen him grow on EPs like Imminence and singles like Song for a Stingray, but I’m comfortable saying we can almost count on his next big release being the magnum opus. Not bad for a guy who two years ago had a tour canceled last minute because of the pandemic.“March of 2020 was going to be my month, man,” Blanchard Understandablesays.but, and I’m speaking directly to Blanchard here, there are a lot of other months ahead of you, friendo. Find ...kind of a bummer on the usual streaming sites, plus on vinyl at Lost Padre Records (131 B W Water St., (505) 310-6389) and through dylanblanchard.bandcamp.com.

Did they have churro sheep? I don’t know; I’ll have to see if they have any photographs. Churro are actually extremely rare. The US government was trying to disrupt Native communities because they were self-sufficient and not reliant on the government. They used tactics like boarding schools and attempting to exterminate the churro sheep, so they went from a million to about 500. There are different stories of how Natives would hide their sheep, or be in different terrains so that the government couldn’t get them. People are trying to preserve them and get them back to what they were. For the piece that we used for the shoot, how did you choose the baling twine material? When I started weaving, I experimented with wools, willow and natural fibers in the area. I was helping my friend on the farm and repurposing things. You feed the sheep every day, and you gotta cut the baling twine off the hay bale. And you’re collecting these two lines of twine over months. This material brought me back into relationship with ranching work and with my grandparents. The piece is a thank you letter to them for the history that they’ve given to me, and the storytelling.

A lot of practices get created because there’s these boundaries, and then people are remaking traditions outside of the purity context. That’s what I’m doing. A lot of my work is not really rooted in tradition. It’s a stepchild, a mishmash of cultures. This was Native land, then it was Mexico. This has never been the United States. The US government attempted to break up Native communities and created names for the different ethnic groups. They were like, ‘you’re in the US, so you’re not Mexican, you’re Spanish’—trying to create hierarchies and divides. It breaks down people’s thought processes of their culture and ethnic backgrounds.

Hybrid Designs

Parsons-trained, Taos-based fashion designer Josh Tafoya’s family history in the New Mexico community of Llano south of Taos stretches back at least 15 generations. Tafoya’s work refuses neat ethnic categorization, and instead plays with elements from all of his Indo-Hispano heritage. His designs range from sexy to serious, sometimes sardonic—and always tugging at something that feels particularly local. His materials of choice include discarded ranching supplies collected from a friend’s farm and oral traditions collected from his grandmother. As a modern designer speaking to the youth of this moment, Tafoya precisely mixes his inherited craft with an individual touch that comes from his own relationship to the land and to the fashion system.

SFREPORTER.COM • SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2022 27

I feel like fashion and design were in my blood because I adapted to them naturally. I learned fiber, textiles and techniques through a designer perspective on fashion. It wasn’t until five years ago that I got into weaving and found out that my family has a whole history. I got laid off from my job in New York, and I was taking time off from fashion, so I came back here. My friend recently moved back, too, and had bought some churro sheep, which are historically associated with Native American weaving. He started trying to get me into weaving, which I was hesitant to do. It was just too tedious. But eventually I started doing little samples. My family saw that, and they guided me—my parents’ sisters both did weaving. Then my mom told me about our grandparents who raised sheep to eat and slaughter. The wool was a byproduct that my grandmother and her sisters would weave with.

Josh Tafoya: I got interested in fashion through high school. It was that emo/punky phase we all go through where you have to find skinny jeans and alter everything because nothing fits. Then I went to Parsons.

SFR: How were you introduced to fiber?

An interview with New Mexican Designer Josh Tafoya BY ROW author@sfreporter.comSÄRKELÄ

Where did the shape came from for the piece? We’ve been calling the piece a monster, and it is a monster. It’s based upon my grandmother’s family history that goes way back to the land. My grandma would tell us a bunch of stories of when she was little, interacting with brujas and duendes; New Mexican mysticism. So it’s like a bruja in my abstract interpretation. So both sides of your family have been here for a long time? I’m not exactly sure about my dad’s side, be cause it’s my dad and he’s very jokey. But his family has been here a long time. He has this dark but insightful joke; he’s like, ‘Well, our Spanish ancestors came, but they didn’t bring women…’ And obviously it’s easier to trace the colonizers’ records. Exactly. Your mom lives in Talpa, right? Do you know about Los Comanches Dance, in that area? It’s Indo-Hispano. My mom says when she was younger it was a feast day. They would slaughter a pig, have a banquet, dance and drink—it was a big party they would do at multiple houses. One book captures it from the early ’90s and has a photo of my grand parents in it. I was recently talking to this art gallery owner in Talpa, and he was telling me the story, that it’s a passed-down tradition. The Comanche would come over the Talpa hill down into Ranchos, set up camp to trade with Taos Pueblo, and interact with people like my family and other families of Spanish descent. The party apparently originated as a celebration of trade. He alluded [there] would be a little debauchery. And he said that’s why there’s…mixing in this area [laughs].

The moral, then, is somewhat open-ended, but it’s fun to consider one’s own take for days after seeing the film. And what a time it is. (ADV) Violet Crown, Center for Contemporary Arts, R, 98 min.

You’ll find real Turkish history mixed within myths here, though told from perspectives not just belonging to the victors; other than a stilted final act which too subtly asks us too suddenly to consider how love is gained and given, Miller crafts a lovely, magical world where instruments play themselves, families come apart and violence changes people forever. Swinton presents an oddly adorable character who slowly learns to embrace her emotions. Elba, meanwhile, finds a magnetic and sympathetic intersection as the djinn, a being who seems perfectly comfortable addressing and unpacking his flaws.

It’s been a sec since Girls creator—and once endless ly lauded writer/director—Lena Dunham had some thing for us, and her new film Sharp Stick straddles the territory between alarmingly cynical and charm inglyInreal.

All things considered, Aussie Mad Max director George Miller has been a fairly minimalist creative type. He’s the sort of filmmaker who lives in the visuals of his work, and that’s how he’s churned out some of the most memorable action films of the last 40-plus years. In Three Thousand Years of Longing, based on the the short story The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye by AS Byatt, however, Miller delves deep into myths and fables, marrying them with a bit of magical realism and an enduring love letter to the history of storytelling to boot.Itsresults are a canny and wildly enjoyable throwback tale that recalls the likes of Princess Bride and 2006’s The Fall, but which treads stylistic heights and grounded realities among its more fantastical elements. Simply put, it’s one of the more fun movies to come out in ages, and it is most definitely made for the big screen. In Longing, Tilda Swinton is Alithea, an introverted British narratologist with a penchant for the history of storytelling. During an academic junket to Istanbul, she begins to hallucinate terrifying creatures, but these are only a prelude to the crux of the matter: She buys a bottle in a shop from which appears a djinn (Idris Elba). Fascinated by how she came into possession of such a magical creature, she wonders how he was imprisoned, and so begin a number of tales of love, fate and the machinations of powerful and powerless women and men. Miller, who also co-wrote the script with newcomer Augusta Gore, leans into the pitfalls of the unreliable narrator as well as the tropes found in mythological cautionary tales.

With all due respect to the numerous enjoy able (and not so enjoyable) Predator movies that have come out thus far, Fox’s newest entry in the long-beloved alien/monster/ horror/sci-fi franchise is a breath of fresh air, a massive jump in Indigenous representation and, frankly, so damn awesome it’s kind of out of control.Theyear is 1719, and a young Comanche woman named Naru (a positively electric Amber Midthunder) finds herself at odds with her place within her community. She’d like to hunt and has the chops to do so, but everyone else in her tribe, including her brother Taabe (newcomer Dakota Beavers), underesti mates her ability and pressures her to stick with medicine and food prep and such. And then the Predator appears with its futuristic weapons and cloaking tech and bloodlust. Not entirely sure what’s roaming the woods outside her village melting wolves and scaring mountain lions, Naru seizes an opportunity to prove herself, but with French colonizers in the area, ferocious animals at every turn and, if you’ll recall, the freaking Predator skulking around invisibly, she might have taken on a little too much. Prey excels in its subtler efforts every bit as much as it does in its powerful depictions of violence. Yes, you’ll find gore and lasers and a fantastically badass tomahawk on a rope, but with producer Jhane Myers (Comanche and Blackfeet, and you’ll find a Q&A with her on page 25) playing a role in getting the Native content right, you’ll find a love letter to tribal fortitude and elegance. For every bear fight or gross French trap per who gets got, find a compelling lesson on hunting tactics, familial dynamics and land-use savvy. Even seemingly small ele ments—such as how Naru wields her bow, how the village operates in the background or, brilliantly, how the French language doesn’t get subtitled—has a stirring effect. It’s also weirdly satisfying that every Native character has a name, while all the white folks are cred ited like “Frenchman 1.”

Stick, young heroine Sarah Jo (Norwegian new comer Kristine Froseth) finds herself embroiled in an affair with her married boss, Josh (Jon Bernthal), after reaching her mid-20s and realizing she has zero sexu al experience. At home, Sarah Jo’s mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and sister (Taylour Page) dominate time and space with lovelorn tales of relationships gone awry, trysts both bad and good and, irritatingly, a glimpse into the mindset of would-be social media in fluencers. Here, Dunham dips her toe into backstories and almost subversive storytelling through casual ref erences to women flexing their power. Sadly, though, we don’t go deep enough to truly connect with anyone beyond Sarah Jo. She is somehow all at once the most and least in teresting character in the film, but things take a turn when her boss’s wife (Dunham) discovers the affair— one in a long line—and Sarah Jo is thrust out of both a job and her first experiences of pseudo-romance. Reeling, she retreats into the world of pornography, discovering a performer who kind of resembles her boss but, more importantly and like her, also bears physical scars. Sarah Jo, we learn, had an emergen cy hysterectomy at 15; she’d already experienced menopause at 17. In delving more into porn, she rea sons that her former boss only dumped her because she’s bad at sex, and thus she sets out to experience and learn from every act she can imagine from A to Z through online dating. What could go wrong, right? Froseth has moments of clarity and vulnerability that border on sublime, but when we never truly learn what stunted her emotional growth beyond the brief est mention of menopause, her naivete feels more horrible than endearing. Of course—and I say this as a cis man who isn’t trying to speak for anyone—wom en are often thrust into sexual roles in ways for which they weren’t prepared, though it’s sad to watch her go from an ostensibly self-assured human who can eas ily communicate her needs to a borderline obsessive child at times. Bernthal wonderfully plays the piece of shit role, the guy who, when confronted about his infi delity, becomes a blubbering mess feigning fear rather than accepting accountability. Still, with the idea that men have long thrust wom en into untenable positions through various power dynamics underscoring the film, it does make sense: Dudes are great at flexing on women then treating them like they’re nothing. Assuming this is the prem ise of Sharp Stick, and it’s kind of hard to tell, Dunham perhaps went too subtle to effectively get her point across. Then again, if women watch the film and glean something men can’t, well, that’s pretty great in its own right—and men can learn a thing or two as well.

Midthunder dominates in the role of Naru and creates a sympathetic character whose motivations might be about survival, but who never loses her humanity. Beavers is a reve lation as well, a particularly notable achieve ment given that he’s never acted in a film before. Together they convey a loving sense of competition common to siblings; togeth er they do some of the craziest stuff we’ve seen on film in some time. It’s a testament to Myers’ dedication, but also to director Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) for wanting authenticity and getting it the right way. If you want to catch all the Predator Easter eggs and all the nods to Indigenous culture, Prey screams for multiple viewings. Luckily it’s big on the feels and the cultural cache. It’s just an incredibly fun film to watch. (ADV) Hulu, R, 99 min.

Homework: Which of your past mistakes provided you with the most valuable Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.comlessons?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “To love oneself is hard work,” declares Virgo author Hanif Abdurraqib. He adds, “But I think it becomes harder when you realize that you’re actually required to love multiple versions of yourself that show up without warning throughout a day, throughout a week, throughout a month, throughout a life.” Let’s make that your inspirational strategy, Virgo. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to refine, deepen, and invigorate your love for all your selves. It may be hard work, but I bet it will also be fun and exhilarating.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries-born Kareem AbdulJabbar was one of the greatest basketball players ever. He excelled at most aspects of the game. Some experts say his rebounding was only average for a player his size—seven feet, two inches. But he is still the third-best rebounder in National Basketball Association history. And he played for 20 years, until age 40. What tips might Abdul-Jabbar have for you now? Here’s a suggestion from him that aligns with your current astrological omens: “Work on those parts of your game that are fundamentally weak.” The implication is that you have a lot of strengths, and now it’s time to raise up the rest of your skill set.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to dream up creative solutions to problems that haven’t fully materialized yet. Then you can apply your discoveries as you address problems that already exist. In other words, dear Aquarius, I’m telling you that your uncanny facility for glimpsing the future can be useful in enhancing your life in the present. Your almost psychic capacity to foretell the coming trends will be instrumental as you fix glitches in the here and now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the coming weeks, logic may be of only partial use to you. Information acquired through your senses might prove less than fully adequate, as well. On the other hand, your talents for feeling deeply and tapping into your intuition can provide you with highly accurate intelligence. Here’s a further tip to help you maximize your ability to understand reality: Visit a river or creek or lake. Converse with the fish and frogs and turtles and beavers. Study the ways of the crabs and crayfish and eels. Sing songs to the dragonflies and whirligig beetles and lacewings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There are blessings in every abyss. You, of all the signs in the zodiac, have the greatest capacity to find those blessings and make them yours. Likewise, there is an abyss in each blessing. You, of all the signs, have the most power to make sure your experiences in the abyss don’t detract from but enhance the blessing. In the coming weeks, dear Scorpio, take maximum advantage of these superpowers of yours. Be a master of zeroing in on the opportunities seeded in the dilemmas. Show everyone how to home in on and enjoy the delights in the darkness. Be an inspirational role model as you extract redemption from the messes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How to be the best Libra you can be in the next three weeks: 1. Make sure your cool attention to detail never gets chilly. Warm it up now and then. Invite your heart to add its counsel to your head’s observations. Tenderize your objectivity. 2. Always be willing to be puzzled. Always be entertained and educated by your puzzlement. Proceed on the theory that nothing ever changes unless somebody is puzzled. 3. Practice, practice, practice the art of moderation. Do so with the intention of using it as a flexible skill rather than an unthinking habit. 4. Applying the Goldilocks principle will be essential. Everything must be just right: neither too much nor too little; neither overly grand nor overly modest.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “What good is it if you read Plato but never clean your toilet?” writes author Alice Munro. To which I add, “What good is it if you have brilliant breakthroughs and intriguing insights but never translate them into practical changes in your daily rhythm?” I’m not saying you are guilty of these sins, Leo. But I want to ensure that you won’t be guilty of these sins in the coming weeks. It’s crucial to your long-term future that you devote quality time to being earthy and grounded and pragmatic. Be as effective as you are smart.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Jean Frémon says Cancerian naturalist Henry David Thoreau “always had two notebooks—one for facts, and the other for poetry. But Thoreau had a hard time keeping them apart, as he often found facts more poetic than his poems.” Judging from your current astrological omens, Cancerian, I suspect you are entering a time when facts will be even more poetic than usual. If you open yourself to the magic of reality, the mundane details of everyday life will delight you and appeal to your sense of wonder. Routine events will veer toward the marvelous. Can you bear to experience so much lyrical grace? I think so.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When you Geminis are at your best, you don’t merely tolerate dualities. You enjoy and embrace them. You work with them eagerly. While many non-Geminis regard oppositions and paradoxes as at best inconvenient and at worst obstructive, you often find how the apparent polarities are woven together and complementary. That’s why so many of you are connoisseurs of love that’s both tough and tender. You can be effective in seemingly contradictory situations that confuse and immobilize others. All these skills of yours should come in handy during the coming weeks. Use them to the hilt.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): One of my favorite Sagittarians is practical mystic Caroline Myss, who was born with sun and Mercury and ascendant in Sagittarius. In accordance with current astrological omens, I’ve gathered six of her quotes to serve your current needs. 1. There isn’t anything in your life that cannot be changed. 2. When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful. 3. Healing comes from gathering wisdom from past actions and letting go of the pain that the education cost you. 4. The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. 5. What serves your spirit enhances your body. What diminishes your spirit diminishes your body. 6. What is in you is stronger than what is out there to defeat you.

SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2022 • SFREPORTER.COM30

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I have always felt you Capricorns are wise to commune with rocks, dirt, mud, sand, and clay. I think you should regularly touch the actual earth with your hands and bare feet. If I’m out hiking with a Capricorn friend, I might urge them to sniff blooming mushrooms and lean down to kiss the exposed roots of trees. Direct encounters with natural wonders are like magic potions and miracle medicine for you. Moreover, you flourish when you nurture close personal relationships with anything that might be described as foundational. This is always true, but will be extra true for you in the coming weeks. Your words of power are kernel, core, gist, marrow, and keystone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As a Taurus, you are always wise to be reverent toward your five senses. They are your glorious treasures, your marvelous superpowers, your sublime assets. In the coming weeks, they will serve you even better than usual. As you deploy them with all your amazement and appreciation unfurled, they will boost your intelligence. They will heighten your intuition in ways that guide you to good decisions. You will tune into interesting truths that had previously been hidden from you. I suspect your sensory apparatus will be so sharp and clear that it will work almost as extrasensory powers.
