The theme of the 2022 SFR Poetry contest is historical trauma: poems that study the past and illuminate the present. We’re looking for poems about conflict, crisis, hope, and history from poets of all backgrounds dealing with a traumatic event that has a deeper history, so that the poem deals both with the present manifestation and the historical background. The traumatic crisis may be cultural, racial, sexual, gender-based, geographical, environmental, or anything else. Powerful examples of such poems are “The Right Foot of Juan de Onate” by Martin Espada, “The Colonel” by Carolyn Forche, “Middle Passage” by Robert Hayden, and any poetry by Frank X Walker. • •

GUILT TIP Sorry, as good as your review was, I won’t be going there. I am strongly opposed to “kitchen taxes”, “tips for kitchen crew” etc. as Pranzo and a couple of other downtown restaurants have been doing. Pay kitchen help a decent wage, for heaven’s sake. If you can’t afford it, charge more for food instead of sticking it in as a nickel and dime guilt trip.

FOOD, JAN. 26: “A FEAST FOR THE SENSES”
REGRET PAYING DEARLY I’m writing in response to Kiley Larsen’s review of Liu Liu Liu. My wife and I were inspired to order takeout after reading
LETTERS
Larsen’s fawning assessment, but we were quite disappointed. Being vegan, we ordered the black hummus, bean curd, cucumbers and tofu. The black hummus did have an interesting sweetness, but the crudites, including the mealy Thai eggplant, had been crudely hacked with the skill level of a middle schooler struggling to pass home economics. Larsen described the noodles in the bean curd dish as having “excellent bounce.” Undercooked would be more apt. Yes, the Persian cucumbers and tofu dishes were flavorful, but both had been drenched in a gut-bombing surfeit of oil. And the tofu dish included excessively large ginger slices that my wife initially mistook for potatoes. I really want to support a new local restaurant that buys its produce exclusively from the Santa Fe Farmers Market. But when I’m paying dearly for those veggies, I expect some sort of culinary transformation. I admittedly can’t speak to Liu Liu Liu’s meat dishes, libations or black and gold strip-mall ambience. But for any vegetarian craving high-end Asian fusion, save your disposable income for Izanami.

volved no medication and could be developed by every one of us without any special training, entirely from home. And that by preventing the disease for several months we would provide researchers the window of time required to develop a treatment, and doctors, nurses, and hospitals, the relief to effectively deploy it across the global population.” In October 2021, Krakauer revisited his initial essay, describing it as “an overly optimistic approach to the pandemic” and examines the factors that made such “collective-action measures” challenging (such as the politicization of mask-wearing). This was not to say Krakauer no longer believed his original premise. Rather, he writes, “I just no longer believe that society can act rationally under pressure.”
“I was interested in that experiment in part because most science is very retrospective,” Krakauer tells SFR. “You wait a few years until the dust has settled and…you know approximately whether you were right or wrong. This is a different kind of thing. Let’s do it in real time; we’re probably going to be wrong at least half the time; what does that look like in a crisis?” Krakauer wanted to both share those errors and reflect upon them. “One of the things I was very keen to ask was, ‘OK, this is what you said in April…what do you think now? Some people were willing to say, ‘Oops, I really did get it wrong.’ And others, ‘I got it right!’ So everyone is different.” As such, the book includes scientists’ initial “transmissions” and their subsequent reflections. For his part, Krakauer’s March 30, 2020 transmission, “Citizen-Based Medicine,” examined how behavioral changes by the populace—quarantining, social distancing, practicing hygiene, for example—could mitigate the COVID-19 disease. He contrasted that proposition with the reality of a disease such as cancer, writing: “Imagine a world where one had the opportunity to prevent cancer. And that this in-
A new Santa Fe Institute book presents scientists’ evolving responses to the COVID-19 pandemic BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

W
hen a new coronavirus started pervading the news in February 2020, Santa Fe Institute President David Krakauer was on sabbatical at Harvard. The severity of the situation hastened and, by March, the World Health Organization had declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Krakauer swiftly decided to shut down SFI, where its networks of faculty and visiting scientists from across the globe left it particularly vulnerable to an unknown and swiftly spreading disease. With the logistics sorted, the nature of the crisis and SFI’s suitability to tackle its myriad aspects became, he said, clear. “We work in immunology and epidemiology. We also work on economics. We also work on social collapse, etc. etc. This is what we are talking about, so it was obvious we were in the space and the question was: What to do about it?” And so in March 2020, SFI began its Transmission series, essays and discussions introducing elements of complexity science and their relationships to the pandemic. Those essays, along with longer written pieces, podcasts and a symposium, comprise the contents of a recent 700-plus page book from the SFI press: The Complex Alternative: Complexity Scientists on the COVID-19 Pandemic, edited by Krakauer, who also holds the title of William H. Miller Professor of Complex Systems at SFI, and by SFI Shannan Distinguished Professor Geoffrey West. In addition to sharing knowledge and ideas, Krakauer wanted to “experiment” with presenting science in “real time,” and share the concomitant and inevitable fallibility that is part of science’s underpinning.

The Way We Were

And in turn, he believes science—scientists—need to do more to focus on preparedness. “I’m not really thinking about COVID so much now as about what comes next. And what don’t we have in place?” Krakauer says. For instance: “It’s totally acceptable to be skeptical about an mRNA vaccine you’ve never heard about until you’re being given it. It’s completely reasonable.” However, he adds, “mRNA vaccines have been around for 30 years. Why aren’t we informing the public? And I’m thinking, ‘why is it all my friends can name every character in Game of Thrones, but they don’t know what an mRNA vaccine is?’ They don’t know what RNA is, period. What’s wrong with the world—or maybe not wrong, I don’t know—where we fill our heads with wonderful socially cohering thoughts but, on the other hand, these are existentially pressing facts and thoughts and yet we ignore them? It’s sort of peculiar.” That realization, he said, made him ask what SFI could do “to diffuse these ideas before we need them. Because once we need them, it’s sort of too late.” The book—available both digitally and as a heavy physical volume—is one way to diffuse those ideas and, naturally, tackles the pandemic from every possible angle. Naturally because Krakauer and his colleagues soon recognized COVID-19 was never just about epidemiology. Rather, it was a systems problem and, as such, one with interweaving, interdependent components that, as Krakauer and West write in their introduction, “we ignore at our peril.” Thus, the book—which also contains equations, graphs and fine art—discusses R-naught and modeling, but also the pandemic’s interface with education, privacy, wildlife, investments and social media, to name a few subjects. “I like the idea of this book as a kind of honest airing of both our expertise and ignorance and engagement with it,” Krakauer says, and one of his motivations is to help divorce expertise from authority. You might think a scientist would appreciate having the phrase “follow the science” infiltrate current society, but you’d be wrong in his case. “I absolutely hate it,” he says. “It’s a complete misunderstanding of what science is.” The expression conveys the idea of science as “facts and certainty when it should be absolutely the opposite. The politicization of science is coming in part from experts who want to be authorities and we have to undo that.” Order The Complex Alternative Complexity Scientists on the COVID-19 Pandemic at sfipress.org/books/the-complex-alternative.

Impaired Recovery
A housekeeper cleans a room at La Fonda on the Plaza. Taxable gross receipts for the accommodation and food service industry totaled $43 million in November.
Tax revenues are up in Santa Fe, but supply, staffing shortages and high costs still challenge local businesses B Y B E L L A D AV I S b e l l a @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
S
anta Fe’s economy is on an upturn, at least by some measures. Taxable gross receipts are up from the same time last year and the year before, coming in at $360.5 million in November, the latest numbers available. That figure marks an estimated 50% increase from November 2020 and a 22% increase from 2019. The city’s economic recovery “is expected to continue, albeit at a more moderate pace in the coming months,” reads a December report from the city Finance Department. State health officials say the Omicron surge in COVID-19 cases (which isn’t reflected in the latest gross receipts) is declining, which bodes well for businesses reliant on tourists feeling safe enough to travel. But the road to steady prosperity for Santa Fe businesses still appears uncertain. Last August, SFR spoke with business owners, workers, city and state officials and
economists about the city’s economy a year and a half into the pandemic. What emerged, in part, were reports of supply and staffing shortages across industries, from construction to hotels and restaurants (and a theory that workers’ declining tolerance for low pay and poor conditions was among locals’ hiring struggles.) Those concerns have persisted over the past six months, some business owners say, with little hope for improvement anytime soon. Homebuilders are anticipating lumber being unavailable in the coming months, according to Valerie Montoya, the new president of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association and co-owner of Boss Builders, which designs and builds custom homes. Montoya tells SFR the company ordered doors for a new house in October and has yet to receive them, for example. The supplier says some lumber mills will soon stop taking new orders temporarily to catch up on backlogs. Labor, too, has been in consistently short supply, Montoya says. Boss Builders has about 25 employees and would like to hire between 10 and 15 more people, with starting pay ranging from $17 to $20 an hour. Montoya points to the rising cost of
living in Santa Fe as a possible cause of trouble hiring. Rent for one-bedroom apartments has shot up by 40% since late 2018, according to real estate group CBRE’s Albuquerque office. “It’s expensive to stay in Santa Fe because the cost of living is so high,” Montoya says. “Rent is really expensive here. A minimum wage or a job right out of high school is probably difficult.” Evidence of the city’s increasing unaffordability is everywhere. About a month after exploring Santa Fe’s economic recovery, SFR reported on people working as teachers, security guards and servers who are struggling to make ends meet, as local politicians have declined to raise the minimum wage for private sector employees. Some businesses, including Boss Builders, have raised wages or offered bonuses in an effort to attract and retain staff. La Fonda on the Plaza—which is celebrating its 100th anniversary—has also taken such measures, with every employee receiving year-end bonuses after the hotel’s unexpected good fortune. On a recent afternoon, guests gather in the lobby after checking in, a bartender mixes cocktails and a couple dozen people eat at La Plazuela, the hotel restaurant, under twinkling lights and a grand chandelier. “We had a very stellar 2021 which we were not anticipating,” Jenny Kimball, chairwoman of the board of La Fonda, tells SFR. “We had employee and supply problems, but we
Our business has been reflective of the virus. When the virus goes down, our business goes up and when the virus goes up, our business goes down. -Jenny Kimball, chairwoman of the board of La Fonda had a lot of business. We had a lot of tourists traveling, people eating and drinking. So from that point of view, we had a good year.” Despite the financial success—taxable gross receipts for the accommodation and food service industry hit $43 million in November, up from $18.4 million for the same month in 2020—the hotel’s food service operation continues to be understaffed.
NEWS
“We’ve been good with most of our other positions—housekeeping and the front desk, surprisingly,” Kimball says. “It’s mainly been like the rest of the country. It’s the kitchen and the bar and the restaurants. That’s been consistent through COVID and it hasn’t changed.” The hotel’s La Fiesta Lounge didn’t serve food last month because some employees got sick, Kimball says, leaving the already understaffed kitchen unable to keep up with demand from customers in the bar. In recent months, Kimball says, La Fonda hasn’t had issues with supply as much as food costs, especially for meat. That’s led to an increase in menu prices. Reservations also dropped off in December and January following the rise of the Omicron variant, which made its appearance in New Mexico on Dec. 13. “As those numbers really came up, our business fell off the cliff,” Kimball says. “I think people weren’t comfortable traveling. The employees got Omicron. Our business has been reflective of the virus. When the virus goes down, our business goes up and when the virus goes up, our business goes down.” Over at the Railyard, Opuntia—which reopened in a new location in October 2020— has been grappling with the same problems. At $8 to $10 an hour plus tips, co-owner Todd Spitzer says the restaurant’s servers make a higher wage than the average in Santa Fe. Still, he’s looking at about a 40% vacancy rate. “There’s a huge segment of the workforce that seems to be missing for various reasons,” Spitzer tells SFR, adding that he used to think unemployment benefits or stimulus checks were the root cause but when those dried up, there wasn’t much of a change in the volume of applicants. Spitzer says his existing staff was overworked and emotionally drained from dealing with customers who are impatient over wait times or don’t want to wear masks. In response, Opuntia now closes an hour earlier at lunchtime and only serves dinner two nights a week, instead of five. For some local business owners, including Spitzer, there doesn’t yet seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. “We have these giant garage doors that we can open up in the summer so it feels safer, but other than that I don’t think anything else is going to change anytime soon,” Spitzer says. “So now we’re just trying to deal with where we’re at and not trying to plan for the future being way better and awesome. Eventually it will be but who knows when that is and so we gotta figure out how to get there.”

ou hold in your hands (or on your screen) the product of about a million emails. When we set out to compile our annual Love & Sex issue, we start there, accepting pitches from around the Love & Sex-o-sphere with an emphasis on finding stories that matter. We get many a good idea from many a good writer, but we ultimately hope to provide pieces of substance; things that might help or alter your perspective or even just realize that sex workers are people providing an essential service. This year’s pieces skew a little darker, too. We’re fighting a pandemic, after all, and love, sex and all the little bête noire in between aren’t always pretty. You’ll learn why it’s always important to get back on that horse (page 18) and why it’s not always so easy to walk away from that volatile relationship (page 15). But you’ll also meet folks expressing their sexuality well into life (opposite page), hear about plans to love more fully after this COVID-19 business finally stops (page 14) and how a new generation of content creators are celebrating body positivity while taking hold of their own financial futures. We know it’s not easy to love well in this era of lockdowns and distancing, we know sex maybe doesn’t quite feel like it used to feel. But we also know you’re likely not alone, either, when it comes to how you love and fuck and feel.

The Lifestyle BY WILLIAM MELHADO |
WILLIAM@SFREPORTER.COM
New Mexico’s swinging community, alive and well, helps people of all ages and types ‘hit your button’
S
heila’s coming off a mid-morning threesome with a couple she just met when she tells SFR about the duality of her personal and family life. “When you see me in the grocery store, I will look like somebody’s grandmother,” she says, “and they want me to be in that role.” But, she explains, the idea of what a grandmother should—and shouldn’t— do, doesn’t capture her true humanness: “When you see me eating another woman’s pussy, they don’t want to think about that.” Born and raised in Santa Fe and an active member of the swinging community, Sheila, 65, doesn’t want to be limited by polite society’s notions of sex, age or anything in between. “We, as humans, were given a gift,” she explains. “That gift is our sexuality.” The swinging community, known as “the lifestyle” among its members, encompasses a big tent. Broadly, it’s for people who want to have sex with multiple partners and break free from the rigidity of monogamous relationships. But for those taking part, the lifestyle isn’t easily defined. For Sheila, the possibilities provided by the lifestyle disrupt the
traditional narrative first presented in TV shows, she says, like “Leave It to Beaver— the everyday, always, same-old husband, wife-and-two-children.” For those maybe stuck in sexless marriages, Sheila says the freedom afforded by polyamorous relationships or a swinging lifestyle opens doors to new ideas about what relationships look like. “As long as you’re over 21, we’re open to everybody, every body type of every age,” Dave, the host and self-proclaimed godfather of swinging events in Santa Fe, tells SFR. Dave explains he’s tried to make the lifestyle scene in New Mexico, which tends to skew older, as inclusive as possible in light of the bias he’s observed in his time swinging. He entered the scene in his early 50s as way to socialize and have sex given his limited free time as a single
father of three. Over a decade later at 67, Dave says he’s taken a leadership role in the community by planning and hosting events. In turn, he says, “my sex life is way better—better than ever in my whole life.” Another reason for Dave’s notoriety in the lifestyle is his reputation for a never-ending supply of those little blue pills that “always made me popular.” Viagra, it turns out, is popular at swinging events. Sitting outside the DeVargas Starbucks in a skull-sequined mask she made herself, Di shares a similar trajectory of her experience in the lifestyle. Feeling the need to expand her sexual horizons, she began attending events in Albuquerque before building a reputation, she says, as the “queen of the scene,” and eventually helping Dave host events closer to home in Santa Fe. At 55, Di tells SFR, she’s ob-
We, as humans, were given a gift. That gift is our sexuality. -Sheila, a local swinger
served all the different ways people practice swinging, which ranges from simply watching others, to jumping into the “puppy pile.” Di points out that the inhibition-free lifestyle enables everyone to meet their needs. “When somebody can hit your button and when your button is really hard to find, when somebody finds it, you don’t care what he or she looks like,” she says. While the sex lives of older individuals can sometimes take a backseat to hormonal changes, menopause and other challenges that can complicate sex in more advanced years, Di and Sheila both note the abundance of older couples pushing their sexual boundaries. In her conversations with her swinging friends, for example, Di says they tell her, “‘This saved my marriage.’” Despite the inclusive nature of the lifestyle, it isn’t completely detached from reality. Dave, Sheila and Di each confirm the age bias in the lifestyle doesn’t affect all participants equally. They explain that a double standard exists such that elderly men more often get the go-ahead to join in the fun, while older women don’t see such broad acceptance at events. “I have not been invited to play because there was someone who looks like Barbie,” Sheila tells SFR. “But as women get older, they have more experience and they have skills that young women don’t…it’s their loss, because I know my value.” While many swinging communities across the country tend to be cliquey and heteronormative, Dave explains, he’s made efforts to expand the tent to make more feel included at events he hosts. The primary problem isn’t making attendees more comfortable, however, it’s the discomfort of those outside the events. With the closure of spaces previously friendly to swinging events, Dave says it’s become difficult to find locations to host groups. He attributes this, in part, to the stigma associated with the lifestyle; unsurprisingly, COVID-19 certainly hasn’t been friendly to group sex parties, either. Sheila, meanwhile, echoes that everyone’s comfort level around sex differs, noting her family. Still, one liberating aspect she gains from swinging is the joy she shares from having multiple partners and the opportunity to share the gift of sex with others. “I think a lot of times, what makes people comfortable about sex, makes other people uncomfortable about sex,” she says.

Howls & Whispers BY JACKS MCNAMARA |
@JACKSMCNAMARA
An experiment in post-pandemic love
L
means all the parents get to lie down for a few months, become still on the earth and do nothing, nothing at all, while the rest of the missing village steps in. Perhaps love means we all become quiet together, quiet but close, lighting candles, whispering prayers, incanting spells, close enough to hear each other, to feel the heaviness and the light. Perhaps love needs to become more political now. Perhaps love is making sure all the disabled and chronically ill folks who’ve been hiding out for three years get to leave their homes and set the public health agenda. Perhaps love is making space for legitimate rage at our astonishing failure to practice interdependence and collective care. Perhaps love is holding space for elders to gather, gather, gather. Perhaps love means we get to talk about something other than pandemics and catastrophes now, perhaps we get to organize for liberation and climate justice, perhaps that is the party; having a potluck, writing a manifesto, together, on the same earth we are ready to save. Perhaps this has all gotten too grandiose. Perhaps I just have a party. Perhaps we need that more than anything right now. Perhaps there’s cake and paper plates, a few balloons, and the miracle is that it feels safe and obvious to eat together inside. Perhaps I do dress as love, and keep it simple, hearts and chocolate, cupids and valentines. If that doesn’t feel special enough, I could always wear the earth’s astonishing love—a constellation of seedlings reappearing after snow, the first sunrise beyond a hurricane, an array of healed scars.
et’s imagine it’s my 43rd birthday and the pandemic is over. After turning 40 on Zoom one week into the first lockdown, 41 in a chilly park with friends eating cupcakes in distant clusters and 42 burned out on Omicron and upgraded to KN95s, I’m going to do it up this year. It’s going to be a costume party. I’ll be dressed as love—decked out in chain mail of scratched mix CDs and Trader Joe’s roses, fried chicken and cupcakes, bacon and kale. All the guests will be invited to eat their favorite foods right off my clavicle. It’s going to be hot. Once we light the bonfire of face masks and signs reminding us to stay 6 feet apart, once it flames up high enough to singe eyelashes and catch the tips of branches, once we get to dancing, I’m going to take it all off. I’ll carefully remove the skirt I made of my daughter’s preschool drawings, the leggings crafted from treasure maps and pocket knives, the headdress of rain in the desert and miles of clouds. All I will need now is skin, body, this body, your body, our bodies. There will be sweat and spit, and we will luxuriate in the
mess of other humans and we will touch. For hours and hours, we will touch. In my thought experiment this becomes an orgy or a riot, but let’s be real, we might be a little afraid of skin by 2023. We might be ready to collapse. There will probably be tears. Where have we been, these three fucked up years? Who remembers how to touch anyone outside their household anymore? Who remembers dancing close enough to breathe each other’s breath and feeling no fear? Who forgets the textures and smells of desire, grief, fingertips and nostrils, bare cheeks and uncovered lips? What has this pandemic done to us? Perhaps the idea of wearing love to a party is far too decadent for these times and I need to love wisely instead. Perhaps love is creating space for ritual. Perhaps I will celebrate my birthday by holding a collective howl, perhaps we must shake and scream as we take the masks off our children, off ourselves, before we will be ready to celebrate. Perhaps the birthday gift I’ll request is other people to hold my child, to hold every parent’s children. We are all so tired after these years when nearly no one was willing to get close to our kids because they went to school and might be vectors of disease. Perhaps love

Everyday Mantra BY LAURA BURGESS |
AUTHOR@SFREPORTER.COM
Don’t give up on your loved ones who can’t leave yet
“
H
e just needs a couch,” my oldest child’s guitar teacher said about his tattoo artist/ musician buddy who had overstayed his welcome. I’ve taken in a lot of strays in my life. A few months later he wasn’t on my couch anymore. At first I thought it was cute with the subtle, joking jealousy. It was really good feeling like someone wanted me. With all of themself. Who doesn’t want to feel wanted? Toxic love is…intoxicating. And I knew he was sick after a while because I’d have to call to make his appointments so he didn’t cuss out the person answering the phone when he got frustrated at the medical system. Appointments he rarely attended. “He is sick,” I said. “I can’t abandon him.” Break up. Police. Reconcile. Lose friends. Break up. Police.
Dignity.
All of it hit me harder than any of my history training, MMA or street outreach in shady areas of Albuquerque. I felt like I was taking off my training wheels again. I didn’t know who I was anymore. My life revolved around anticipating an adult’s needs and saying the right thing at the right time while living in near-constant anxiety that I was doing something wrong. The morning routine of making sure everything was executed to his standards: food, coffee, clothes he approved, makeup. Three bottles of water in the car, two for him, one for me. I could never get it right. I tried so hard but you can’t really hit a moving target with someone not able to be consistent in expectations and temperament. No one goes into a relationship accepting terms that develop into abuse—they just show up.
Evolve.
“I can love him enough to heal him.”
Everyday mantra.
I truly thought I could love him out of his jealousy and anger, out of mental health struggles and the trauma he experienced.
Mission.
You can’t love anyone enough to fix them, except for yourself—and that’s hard work
at the cornerstone. Fifteen tattoos and a baby later, I’m doing OK. I pretend some days, but I’m alive and my child is safe. And he doesn’t even know her name; it’s just time and distance and acceptance. He was, at the time, my best friend. Days spent together during quarantine, skateboarding in empty parking lots and discovering some new comedian, remembering old songs and marathoning them at 2 am.
Inside jokes.
The fact that even writing this makes me put more weight on the “good days,” and warps how bad it really got. The disappointment on faces that loved me when I resurfaced all happy love-drunk because “we worked it out!” The nights I felt like all of my existence would be OK if I could just go hold him close and be warm and feel like I meant something to someone. To him. Honestly? I still
I truly thought I could love him out of his jealousy and anger, out of mental health struggles and the trauma he exeperienced.
love and sometimes miss him. The hardest thing I’ve learned in my life is to say goodbye—on many levels, during many circumstances. No one truly understands domestic violence unless they have experienced it. It’s embarrassing: “Why didn’t you just leave?” Do not victim shame. It’s not that easy, and even therapists don’t understand unless they’ve lived it. And anyway, I tried. Running barefoot through alleys in bad neighborhoods, hiding behind Dumpsters cause he took my shoes, keys, bag and phone. But he would show up with my favorite pen and coffee the next day with tears and puppy eyes. The utter confusion born of feelings you never thought you’d ever experience. Wanting to hold and comfort a person who was breaking down in the car at a parking lot over guilt and that mark they left on your face; asking you to stay in the car so no one sees it. Again. Wanting to console a person who was blubbering sad because of what they did that hurt YOU. Wanting to say, “It’s ok,” but not saying that because it was not OK…but you forgive them instantly. It’s complicated in ways unexplainable. Please don’t take it personally if someone in a bad relationship dips out. Please still reach out. Check on them. Boundaries are important but don’t cut them out. Please don’t give up on your loved ones who can’t leave yet. They will need you when they can. I’m still rediscovering who I am, and I am extremely grateful for those who are still around and believe in me. Laura is a mother nurse poet seamstress storyteller who loves 505 and New Mexico, fabric and humans. Jill of all trades and street outreach organizer CONTINUED ON PAGE 18
Rinse and repeat.
A year and a half later I sat in an ER getting seven staples in my head and worried about how I can afford to fix the door that was kicked in. Again. Post-chemo, at 42: “By the way,” someone said. “You’re pregnant.” Everything in its entirety crashed into reality.
Decisions.
The violence that was subtle and boiled slowly until it spilled over and ruined all my dishes, earrings, sunglasses, car tires, bank accounts, jobs, guitars.

To Heal a Broken Heart BY JEROME GERARD |
@JEROMEGERARDMUSIC
How a horse and a near plane crash taught me to relinquish my grief
I
found myself on an airplane flying to New York City and nursing a broken heart. I’d shattered my then-girlfriend’s trust, and thus she decided to move on, but I didn’t want to let go, and there, in that plane, a little sob escaped my lips. I felt my fellow passengers’ eyes trained on me, and I tried to hold back my tears, but ultimately, inevitably, I gave up. Embarrassed, I stared out the window. Far below, blue waves curved toward ghostly Rockaway Beach, and farther up the coastline, I could see the Manhattan skyline blending into white, wintry clouds. New York seemed a shining mirage atop the water, but my chest felt tense as I gripped the faux leather armrest. I wanted to stay up there in the clouds, not deal with the grime and noise of the city—or the dull emptiness of my apartment. I still needed this love in my life. As if to answer my unconscious prayers, the plane started to shake violently as we hit a particularly nasty pocket of turbulence. Other passengers gasped and my stomach jumped into my throat. Would we crash into the water, mere miles from JFK? In that moment, the thought didn’t scare me. In fact, I welcomed an end to my sadness. And the plane dove as the passengers screamed. I closed my eyes and flashed back. There, in that potential moment of death, I remembered a racehorse I had ridden many years back while acting in a Western filmed outside Santa Fe. Foolishly, I’d listed myself as an expert rider on my resume, though it had been a decade since 18

I’d ridden. Even then, it had been a tame workhorse who walked a path along a South American beach that it could probably have navigated in its sleep. On the set of an 18th century town, however, I was introduced to a powerful horse with a burntflame mane and told I’d have 20 minutes to orient myself before filming. I climbed atop the stallion, settled into his leather saddle, grabbed the reins and attempted to nudge the massive beast forward. He didn’t move at first, though I’m not sure if that was about his being young, or perhaps he sensed my insecurities. Either way, when I gently kicked his sides in encouragement, he bolted into a breakneck gallop and zeroed in on a nearby barbed wire fence. I pulled hard on the reins, but my new costar wouldn’t listen—he was only interested in that twisted, rusted, razor-sharp death before me. I closed my eyes and accepted it, when, thankfully, he stopped a few feet from my demise. I later learned he’d been reacting to females in heat on the other side of the fence, though that was cold comfort during a subsequent scene in which the horse and I were meant to move slowly down a craggy, cactus-filled ravine. I cautiously prodded him forward, but he bolted once more. This time when I pulled on the reins, he jumped and, sensing my fear, started bucking me. I was thrown off his back and landed on the rocky soil. Perhaps miraculously, I was OK. And I still got back on the horse, learning through trial and error that he wouldn’t heed my commands. But at last I understood him. He wanted only to run as fast as he could. To meet lady horses. He had no master, and I could only let go of trying to control him as I held on to his thick, burntred mane. I felt the rhythm of hooves on hard desert clay dirt, I listened to his

breathing, I felt his heartbeat and I placed a hand on his powerful neck muscles. Trying to relax us both, I synced the rise and fall of my own breath with his and felt excitement, frustration, incredible willpower. He finally allowed me to ride. The plane fell into a sort of free fall as I flashed back to that wild horse, to embracing the danger of not knowing where he’d take me had he jumped over the fence, hoping he’d land where he could be free. My own heart, still broken, shot pain through my chest, which surprisingly let me relinquish any thoughts of fear. The grief moved through my body at the speed of my breath; if I were to try and control the direction of my anguish, it would only hurt deeper. The grief tried to buck me off or, it
seemed, usher me gladly toward my death, plummeting in a tube into the water just outside the city. I listened to and felt the rhythm of my own restless spirit, and for a brief moment, as we became one, I lost any sense of separation between myself and the intangible rush of my emotions. My own heart, still broken, synced its beat to the rise and fall of my breath. I let go of control, I let go of emotions. I sighed. And in that moment, my sadness departed, and my mind was at peace. The plane leveled off. We landed safely. My own heart was galloping. I was free. Jerome is a writer and musician living in Brooklyn, New York

The no longer secret life of a local sex worker
I
’m Layla. Many in Santa Fe know me, just not by this name. And even if you don’t, you’ve likely seen me around town, maybe on a barstool at the Matador or in line at Trader Joe’s. I’m sure our paths have crossed in some Santa Fe way or another, but what you don’t know about me is that I am a sex worker. Sex work is something that is constantly expanding and evolving, but at its most basic is an umbrella term for consenting adults who exchange sexual goods and/or services for money. It includes obvious things like erotic performances and sales, pornography and engaging in actual sex, but it also includes a relatively new world of online content creation. As someone running an OnlyFans account, that’s where I fall in. My exploration into the world of sex work started about five years ago when the body positivity movement took off. Overnight, my Instagram feed was flooded with plus-size women—women who looked like me—celebrating their bodies in a way I hadn’t seen before. Big booties like mine were everywhere and people were loving it! As a plus-size woman, I’d constantly received the message that my body should be hidden, that there should be shame around it, that it certainly was not sexy. Seeing representation like that on such a large scale was an incredible feeling, and I immediately knew I wanted to make other people feel that way. While I weighed my options, I learned sex workers were making unreal amounts of money. I’m talking upwards
of $40,000—per month. Many were also choosing to pay their gains forward in some way: I followed a woman who traveled the world building homes with Habitat for Humanity and paid for her expenses by selling photos of herself in lingerie. I followed others who opened animal sanctuaries and founded nonprofits. I discovered a community trying to be and do things in the world they’d have likely needed when they were younger, and they were doing it all by engaging in sex work of some kind. That’s when the lightbulb switched on for me. Was there really a way I could be my authentic self, celebrate my body, have a little fun, make some money and pay it forward? This is where OnlyFans comes in. Until I went down the exclusive content rabbit hole, I’d lived in a world where sexual imagery was a click away and almost always free. Now I had the option of paying someone for their labor, and not in a some-virus-is-going-to-blowup-my-computer kind of way. Content on OnlyFans was and continues to be wide-ranging, and photos and videos come in every variety, from flirtatious and sexually expressive to engaging in self play, partner play…well, if you can think it up, it likely exists on OnlyFans. New offerings flared into existence as well, like sexting and cock ratings (you read that right). You could even purchase worn panties and have them shipped to your front door. All the while, things like consent and power dynamics and

moneymaking were put directly into the hands of creators. OnlyFans takes a cut, of course, but unlike the mainstream porn industry, their users’ autonomy and consent are prioritized, and people can make real money. Today that’s where I sell my own exclusive content. For me, this is all about the bigger picture. Because of its popularity and accessibility, OnlyFans is helping to de-stigmatize sex work one subscriber at a time, and it helps independent creators such as myself earn money how we see fit—through carefully curated materials decided upon by sex workers themselves. I never have to do anything I don’t want to do, and I earn a little bit while I’m at it. I’m excited to finally tell the world that for the last 13 months that’s exactly what I have been doing. I don’t make an unreal amount of money just yet, but I’m still paying it forward in my own way. I am a radical self love enthusiast, so engaging in sex work in a meaningful way has not only expanded my own concept of self love, it’s encouraged my audience to do the same. I have created a wonderful space online, but my real dream is to build a physical space that fosters self love and body connection in a safe and mindful way. Something close to my heart and something my younger self definitely needed. My vision is of a self love ripple effect that starts right here in my own community. I truly believe helping people in this way helps everyone. My journey remains a unique experience influenced by women who have resonated with me. It feels important to say that every sex worker has their experience and identity, all of which are valid and deserving of respect. They all are a part of a community somewhere with a little dive bar and a hipster grocery store. Maybe you just know them by a different name. Layla is a local sex worker on a mission to spread radical self love to her community and the world SFREPORTER.COM

DANCING FOR LIFE Ria Thundercloud (Ho-Chunk Nation, Sandia Pueblo) is a force of nature. Not many of us can say we’ve performed in New York, the Czech Republic, Russia and beyond. Hell, not many of us can say we’ve ever left the country. Thundercloud was trained by many top Indigenous dance institutes, including Dancing Earth Creations and Raven Spirit Dance; she’s proficient in ballet, jazz, modern, tap and others, too. Thundercloud is probably far more talented than any of us, so get pumped on this upcoming performance in association with Southwestern Association of Indian Arts and the Santa Fe Playhouse. Thundercloud’s dance performance tells of Indigenous womanhood and survival through movement. Inspired by the tales and family histories of matriarchs, her showcase isn’t merely showing Indigenous women exist. Rather, it’ll be a reminder of resilience under occupation and oppression—something all of us need to be reminded about from time to time.

Don’t look away, young adults and older readers: Roller skating doesn’t have to be a leisure activity for middle school children. As an 18+ event, Love on Wheels is a combination of the physical love of a human and the metaphysical love of being alive. Stay with me—basically, stop by if you love to skate. Stop by if you wanna hear DJs Luca Lofi and Spinbot pumping up the place. Consider this a low-key way to spend the lovey-dovey weekend, during which, you can pretend you’re in the ‘80s, John Hughes is directing your actions via magical lighting cues and Molly Ringwald is calling you over from the other side of the place to advance the plot in some direction. Whether you’ve got nostalgia or not, get some spins in. (RG) Love on Wheels: 8 pm Saturday, Feb. 12. $10-$15 Rockin’ Rollers Event Arena 2915 Agua Fría St., (505) 473-7755

Actually, scratch that—she’s a Golden Globe-nominated master, and you’ve probably heard her contributions to films like August Rush and Into the Wild. She’s also got nine (!) studio albums for you to vibe to as you wait. Whether it be cats, geometric patterns, lovely guitar madness or heavy metaling, rest assured there are options to keep you safe and sound from those pesky roseycheeks and merriments that assault us every mid-February.

Or, how to escape romance-related events Picture this: You’re browsing at the Santa Fe Public Library Southside Branch. You’ve finally found the book you want, free of weird stains, and you suddenly realize such a delightful book would be better served with a cat or two nearby, just asking to be petted. We’ve been there. Who hasn’t? Yet there’s no cat to be found because your partner is selfishly allergic or your overpriced apartment unit wants a $600 pet fee. You quietly sigh, turn to leave and embrace your sorrow—and there’s a cat facing you upon the library walls. Not just any artistic rendering of a cat, but one with a unique folk art style. It stuns you into silence. So wholesome, so charming, so cat-like. Yes, you’ve found your book. But perhaps more importantly, you’ve found your reading cat, however twodimensional they may be. Check out Bobbie Ferrell’s Come See the Cats this week. You’ll feel better, trust us, and Ferrell describes it as “art with a smile for a reason.” But hey, we get it. Maybe you’re not a cat person. Maybe you’re just an artsy soul, drifting from one exhibit to the next. If so, get your eyes on Aurelia Gallery’s new show Transforming the Desert, where artist Christa Stephens takes our arid landscape and transforms it into geometrical patterns that will have no (or at least very few) heart patterns throughout the work. You can experience color outside of pink, red and white during the Valentine’s Day sadsies. Imagine!

SHIVALI KANSAGRA
With filmmaker Sasha Faust
After graduating from New Mexico School for the Arts in 2018, filmmaker Sasha Faust was really more of an acting fan. A subsequent move to Los Angeles quickly taught her that she much preferred working behind the camera. While in California, a serendipitous reconnection with a former Santa Fe pal blossomed into a household full of fellow film aficionados, and Broken Slate Productions was born. Faust has since returned to Santa Fe, and the filmmaking collective’s first short, What We Find in the Sea, is slated to premier at the Center for Contemporay Arts (2:30 pm Saturday, Feb. 12. $10. 1050 Old Pecos Trail, (505) 982-1338) this weekend as part of a Santa Fe Film Festival block featuring seven shorts by women filmmakers—five of which are by locals. The tale of a young woman who finds herself working a fishing boat in Alaska, Faust and company’s film frames the comingof-age story through commercial fishing—as something surmountable, though no less daunting than growing up itself. We caught up with her to ask a thing or two. (Alex De Vore) What We Find in the Sea is a subtly intense look at perseverance. What about commercial fishing spoke to that experience? Coming of age and growing up is an intense period of time, and it takes a lot of perseverance and wading through, figuring things out, understanding cycles of life and figuring out where you fit in in the world. This story came about partially out of a friendship and [one of the creators] and I discussing wanting to make a coming-ofage story with the narrative of going to a new place to find yourself and grappling with things bigger than oneself. One of [their] best friends, who was also a producer on this film, went to Alaska and actually fished on the boat that we shot on when she was just out of high school, and pieces of the film are directly drawn from her experiences.
How deep into that sea-bound life did the crew have to go to best make the film? We were onboard out at sea very, very far away from land and from other people with the crew during one of their outings. It’s a 58-foot long boat, and we almost doubled the number of people onboard. There were five crew, and they allowed four of us to come shoot. We were sleeping in the wheelhouse because there wasn’t anywhere else to be, and at 4 or 5 am, the captain would come in and say, ‘Alright, turn this back into a boat!’ and we’d roll up our sleeping bags and start filming as soon as the sun rose. It’s fast-paced, it’s weather, it’s waves and saltwater and protecting equipment. I don’t think you get extra credit for how hard a film is to make, but this was a real exercise in leaping and the net will appear. We were trying to coordinate our schedules with a fishing boat that didn’t know where they were going to be, and 24 hours before we flew to Alaska they wound up in a different place than we thought they would be. We were in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen in my entire life—and it worked. We shot what we were hoping to capture from the script, and it worked. Did you learn anything of note during this process that you think you’ll carry with you now as a filmmaker? The big lesson that [we] talked about regularly is the power of asking for help. This project was supported by community every step of the way. We crowdfunded to make our budget, we were put up in the living rooms of places where were were invited in with open arms. Even when we were making our short reel, we didn’t have any footage to show people, so we looked up drone footage and cold called somebody from YouTube who was like, ‘Absolutely you can use my shot!’ It was so powerful witnessing how much people were excited to be a part of it, and how ready and willing people are to help if you ask. I know I’m excited to help people and love helping people, and it’s also powerful to witness that other people are in return. The other one that sticks out to me is that, if you wait until you’re completely ready to start something, you’ll never start. If you start, then you’ve got one thing, you can build from that. Those things are… they’re powerful. I’m not sure I can give an example, but they live with me from this project. We weren’t cognizant as we were doing it, but we grew up a lot in the process, too. That’s the funny thing about film. We shot this in the summer of 2019 and we were doing post-production during the pandemic. So many creative hearts and minds touch a film before it’s done, now it’s starting to see the light of the world in a different way.

Culinary Dichotomy Southside Italian eatery Rustica is a capable mix of contradictions BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
he whole gang’s been talking about hitting up that new-ish Italian joint Rustica since it opened last year. Said new spot, which lives in what was once an Outback Steakhouse (though you’d never know it now thanks to some serious renovations), comes to our fair city courtesy of married couple Josh Baum and Ann Gordon—the very same people who own and operate The Ranch House (it’s BBQ) across the street from Rustica down in that dizzying Southside criss-cross of streets all called Camino Entrada (where you’ll find the court and the cops, if that helps). One might easily say we waited this long to give Rustica (2574 Camino Entrada, (505) 780-5279) a chance to work out its kinks. Baum is celebrated for his BBQ prowess, of course, but opening an Italian joint—which, the story on the back of the menu describes, was done because “who doesn’t like Italian?”—is a whole other ball of wax. One might also say that we fear new-ness in Santa Fe, and that the Southside might as well be another city entirely. Strangely (read, jerkishly), I’d drive hours to get to work in Los Angeles, but the thought of heading 12 minutes down Cerrillos Road for something I actually want to do feels like hell some cold nights. This is a bad way to live, however, and something I’m actively trying to alter—to put it plainly, I suck for that line of thought, I’m working on getting down there for things more often and downtown Santa Fe hasn’t been aimed at locals since I don’t even know when. High marks, then, t o Baum and Gordon for opening not one but two places to grab a meal on that side of town. I must admit, too, that two looming restaurants beside one another looks incredibly cool lit up at night, and knowing they’re not chains or car dealerships activates my hometown pride. Rustica is beautiful, too. A combination of floors, particularly in the foyer, that look
so clean you might eat off of them, and a casual family style atmosphere that whispers something about how this isn’t going to be the most expensive meal you’ve ever eaten, but it’s also not going to be a Blooming freaking Onion. High marks to Baum and crew, too, for a mostly concise menu of Italian hits. No surprises there, per se, but with old standby selections like the pizza margherita ($10) and lasagna bolognese ($16) sitting beside more creative items like housemade duck ravioli ($18) and an eggplant souffle with a feta center ($10), it seems Rustica’s out to satisfy the normies while giving more discerning palates a little something more. Our server was a dream of kindness and memory skills, and though she never jotted
down a single note, she never made a mistake. We began with appetizers like butternut squash bisque and grilled cauliflower. Here our troubles began with the wildly over-oily cauliflower sitting limp and chewy on the plate rather than crisp and flavorful, and the butternut bisque tasting fine—just fine. Served with a garnish of creamy pesto, the sweet and earthy squash flavor fought with the brighter acidity of its topping. No, this isn’t the worst squash soup we’ve had, but it’s far from the best. For the main course, my companion chose the aforementioned duck ravioli. As someone who doesn’t eat meat outside of fish, it sounded incredible, even if most duck can lean toward being an oily mess. At Rustica, our companion said, the dish missed the mark. Advertised as a porcini mushroom cream sauce, these ravioli instead came coated in an unidentifiable pale yellow...something. It also added little to the dish, I’m told, and the duck itself, which came shredded, didn’t wind up being oily, though it was lacking in any particular flavor. What’s the old axiom? Swing and a miss? I, meanwhile, ordered the grilled Scottish salmon served atop a bed of farro
The apple crostata with rosemary caramel sauce, a butternut squash bisque with creamy pesto and grilled Scottish salmon served on a bed of farro. Rustica was hit or miss, but it’s definitely gaining a devout customer base.
FOOD
(that’s a medley of wheat grains for those not in the know; $22). Not only had the chef grilled the fish’s exterior to a satisfying crisp around the edges, it came as hot as I’ve ever been served a meal with a delightful interior flake and buttery texture. Whoever cooked that fish should teach classes. The farro was a flavor delight, too, to the point I wondered aloud whether it contained diced ham. It did not. I would note that in almost any other milieu, my massive serving of the stuff would be considered value. At Rustica, while tasty, the farro dominated the plate, and I left more than a little behind. The fish, however, which came in a generous portion, was eaten in whole. Lastly, being brave, we ordered three of the four desserts on offer: an apple crostada with vanilla gelato and rosemary caramel sauce; a warm chocolate budino (think pudding in that it’s literally pudding) served with salted caramel gelato and chopped hazelnuts; and a tiramisu (a family recipe according to the menu) to go for a friend who couldn’t attend. These were far and away the highlight of the night. I’d never sampled rosemary caramel sauce before—I’ve only had those things separately, in fact. When tasted in tandem with the creamy vanilla gelato and the warm, crispy apple pastry beneath, however, it became a symphony of complementary flavors. At this point, I was already full, and yet I could not stop myself. My companion’s budino proved a delight as well, particularly in the hot/cold contrast between the pudding itself and the salty gelato. It was, not hyperbolically, a miracle. Oh, and that tiramisu? It was eaten quickly later that night, and its flavorful mascarpone and lady fingers inspired loving declarations. Scattered with crunchy little chocolate bits, it was, reportedly, a revelation. Whatever else, Rustica’s dining room and bar were both packed to the brim while maintaining enough space between tables for COVID-19 reasons. Even as we left, more diners were pouring in, likely because there just isn’t anything else quite like Rustica on that side of town. Outside, cars lined the street between Baum and Gordon’s compound-like restaurant empire, and I fantasized about eating ribs just once more before I die. And so I choose to believe it was an off night for certain items, and I’m willing to return. OK, fine—if I’m being honest, I’m anxious to get back to that budino; and any drinkers will surely find something to enjoy among the full bar and Rustica’s emphasis on Italian wines among others.

S
ince the idea of murals, their longevity and the place of public art in Santa Fe has been such a hot button issue in the wake of the upcoming Vladem Contemporary wing of the New Mexico Museum of Art, which will ultimately result in the destruction of the Gilberto Guzman mural, MultiCultural, I’m pleased to report that the new mural from Albuquerque-based artist Nani Chacon at the Coe Center’s massive new project warehouse space on Pacheco Street is a triumph. But let’s go back a bit. The Coe Center (1590 Pacheco St., (505) 983-6372), for those who don’t know, serves as the steward for over 2,000 pieces of Indigenous art across a wide spectrum of styles, tribes, mediums, etc. The idea is that the organization cares for the art, shows it to those who’ll respectfully view it or otherwise become inspired and, when we’re lucky, engages with contemporary creators who want to get a glimpse at the items in the pursuit of their own practices. Still, according to Creative Director and Curator Bess Murphy, the organization has long known it would need more space to properly conduct its mission. Then, last year, the Coe was presented with an opportunity to buy out its current office space, as well as a warehouse next door which had previ-

If you’ve ever craved a silent-film-style opening with God (played by Buñuel collaborator JeanClaude Carrière in his final film appearance– how the hell did they swing that?) teaching a very nude Adam and Eve how to masturbate in the woods, man, is this the film for you. Director Preston Miller’s (God’s Land) newest is an art house take on sexual pleasures, their religious roots and the absurdity of our search for such experiences via the subconscious. As a series of interconnected vignettes ranging from a couple at a fertility clinic, talking pigeons questioning human processes and nudist tennis players chatting about the Old Testament, it isn’t a film to hold much of anything back—l’Odge d’Oor is, actually, one of the strangest films you’ll ever see. Oh, but you won’t find much comfort if you’re craving a traditional narrative. Part of the fun is

+ FASCINATING; GREAT ENERGY - PACING AND STRUCTURE COULD USE IMPROVEMENT
There’s a growing American mythology surrounding New York City’s artistic crowds in the ’80s—those anti-Reagan, queer-loving, frozen garret-dwelling disruptors who blew open the arts scene with their anger at the establishment. Painter Edward Brezinski was one such artist who, with a cargo train worth of emotional baggage, died mostly forgotten in the South of France. What a way to stick the landing. If it feels like a familiar story, that’s because it absolutely is. In Make Me Famous, the new documentary on Brezinski from filmmaker Brian Vincent, the focus rests on the artist’s rough personality and hardscrabble life, as well as his forceful methodology and knack for regularly decrying other artists’ works—the kinds of things that make success hard to come by for sure. Brezinski proves a fascinating subject on screen due to sheer force of will, but you’d never really want to spend more than a few minutes with the guy in person. As a result, Make Me Famous is powered by its intensity
INTERESTING THEMES - LITTLE TOO HEAVY ON EFFECTS
in how Miller’s work holds a midnight film vibe at which a good chunk of the audience will enjoy the affair all the more should they watch while stoned. And hey, that’s a virtue. Even if the film’s last sections seem to work toward losing viewers, it does manage to pull out of the nosedive in its final moments in a display of thematic unity often lacking from films of a similar ilk. As a comedy, l’Odge d’Oor’s hardest-hitting humor emerges from its performers’ delivery. Pity, then, that Miller expends so much more energy on quirky effects. Making his actors more of a focal point or even just trusting them a bit more deeply would have come across well and improved on some otherwise very funny choices. C’est la vie, though, and the comedic direction ain’t half bad. Still, as a whole, this is one movie
even as we struggle to identify with Bresinski. But then, are we trying to connect or simply observe? Vincent’s breakneck pacing and transitional choices could benefit from more clarity, but he does mine a ton of energetic fun from Brezinski’s NYC, even if a little breathing room would have helped. Still, Jeremiah Bornfield’s score triumphs throughout, capturing the artistic spirit as his electronic beats offer a rough but hopeful world wherein squalor is a bump in the road should you get lucky enough. Creative decisions aside, a skilled documentarian like Vincent knows just how to make a subject interesting, not that he didn’t have help. Brezinski is equally fascinating, insufferable, tragic and bizarre; a fully realized human swept up by life’s random flows and a deep-rooted desire for recognition. An artistic presence who can’t—or won’t—navigate the commercialism of the art world isn’t anything new, but it is a recipe for trouble. Often what creators produce is far more effective once they’re out of the picture, anyway. Sorry, artsy types. Make Me Famous may not always hit the marks, but it does overflow with passion over its subject and a reverence for its niche era. Those with an interest in art scenes will be
that could have benefited from trimming and polishing, even if Miller displays more strength in his ideas than in their technicalities. This makes l’Odge d’Oor a mite rough around the edges. No moment seems afraid of commitment to the bit, though, and while Miller’s film doesn’t meet all the marks, one can’t deny it keeps on surprising. And anyway, seeing Carrière as a giant floating God-head in the sky may be worth it after all.

STOP-ZEMILA
7
+ SENSITIVE AND RELEVANT - MEANDERING ALMOST TO A FAULT
It’s tough to be a Ukranian teenager these days, what with all the who-likes-who, what-doesthe-future-hold questions, plus that growing will-my-country-exist-in-a-few weeks thing. At a time when Ukraine’s sovereignty is on shaky ground, it feels almost counterproductive to focus on the most typical problems teenagers face, but Stop-Zemila from writer/director Kateryna Gornostai dares to suggest otherwise, providing a film so familiar yet unexpectedly mesmerizing. Masha (Maria Fedorchenko) is a loner who is isolated from her social peers. She holds intense loyalty for her two best friends, punk-rocker Senia (Arsenii Markov) and quiet depressive Yana (Yana Bratiychuk). Meanwhile, Masha’s crush Sasha (Oleksandr Ivanov) navigates a closed-off relationship with his mother that keeps him dependent on friends for expression.
What makes Stop-Zemila unique is its relation to current events. Instability hovers over youthful vices, even if the kids don’t talk about it, and Senia is a refugee from Eastern Ukraine, where the proxy wars pushed him out. The kids go to military training as part of their high school curriculum (military conscription is mandatory for men in Ukraine). They train with guns and the piano and learn battlefield medicine, but also the science behind love. Irony is the point: They are desperate for a sense of permanency in this faux-stable world—something director Gornostai is certainly familiar with given her background documenting Ukraine’s political turmoil nearly a decade ago in Euromaidan. Rough Cut. You’ll still find chinks in the armor among her deep commitment. Stop-Zemila lacks needed clarity and charm and relies too heavily on montage and dreamscape imagery. By its conclusion, it might feel pointless, but cinema’s great gift is to see life in far away places not as a gawking tourist, but more quietly and accurately. Gornostai finds brilliance within young Ukranian society, but also the looming threat that it could all be snatched away from them. (RG) CCA. NR. 122 min.

Week of February 9th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Real love is a pilgrimage,” declared author Anita Brookner. “It happens when there is no strategy, but it is very rare because most people are strategists.” That’s the bad news, Aries. The good news is that you have more potential than ever before to free your love of strategic maneuvering and manipulation. For the foreseeable future, I invite you to drop all romantic agendas and simply make yourself extra receptive to love’s teachings. Are you ready to learn what you don’t even realize you need to know?
pose we make that your meditation during this Valentine season, Libra. In accordance with astrological omens, you will be wise to purge all your preconceptions about love. Use your ingenuity to revive your innocence about the subject. Cultivate a sense of wonder as you let your imagination run wild and free in its fantasies about love and sex and intimacy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I’ve created a list of splashy titles for stories or poems or songs or artworks or dances that you could compose for beloved allies or people you want to be beloved allies. I hope my list inspires you to get gushy and lyrical. I hope you’ll be creative and marvelous as you express your passionate appreciation. Here are the titles: 1. Glistening Passion. 2. Incandescent Rapture. 3. Succulent Dazzle. 4. Molten Luminosity. 5. Splashy Fire Bliss. 6. Shimmering Joy Beams. 7. Opulent Delirium. 8. Wild Soul Synergy. 9. Sublime Friction. 10. Fluidic Gleam Blessings. 11. Throbbing Reverence. 12. Sacred Heart Salvation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Actor Leelee Sobieski was mourning her romantic adventures—or rather the lack of romantic adventures. She said, “If only I could find a guy who wasn’t in his 70s to talk to me about white cranes, I’d be madly in love.” The good news is that Sobieski knows precisely what she wants, and it’s not all that complicated. The bad news is that there are few men near her own age (38) who enjoy discussing the fine points of the endangered bird species known as the white crane. I bring her predicament to your attention, Aquarius, in the hope that you’ll be inspired to be as exact and lucid as she is in identifying what you want—even as you cheat just a bit in the direction of wanting what is actually available.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I’ll love it if sometime soon you create a situation in which you tell an ally words similar to what author Jamaica Kincaid spoke to her TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the near future, I’ll be lover: “To behold the startling truths of your naked body pleased if you dole out lavish praise to allies who enchant you. I will celebrate if you deliver loving inspira- frees me to remember the song I was born from.” Do you think you can make that happen, Scorpio? The tions and lush invitations to those who help you fulfill astrological indicators at play in your life suggest that it your reasons for being here on the planet. To get you in would be right and sacred for you to do so. And if there the mood, here are some suggested provocations. 1. is no such ally, then I hope you will deliver the same “Your body makes mine into a shrine; holy, divine, godtouched.” —Ramona Meisel. 2. “Your luster opens glories message to your naked self.

Life will conspire to help you heal yourself, in dramatic and even semi-miraculous ways, as you offer the people and animals you care for the same blessings that you crave to receive.
