Dedicating an entire page of the Reporter to rip apart a young business person trying to make it in a hard business climate through the ups and downs of a tourist town is anything but tactful. We all know that New Mexico wine isn’t quite up to par with what we might expect from France, Chile, etc. Because we all already know that, it goes without saying. Attacking a business opened by a younger New Mexican who is taking huge risks to open a fun wine bar on the Plaza is shocking.

LETTERS She went into a tasting room already with her mind made up she was going to dislike everything. To prove my point of her bias, [she] states in an offhanded way, “Just to be fair, I decided to taste a flight.” This statement comes … after she has trashed thoroughly the winery, the highly prestigious Finger Lakes International Competition, and all New Mexico’s thriving wine industry. Perhaps she should stick to drinking beer.

RED-LIGHT DISTRICT I don’t know who on your staff to attribute the asinine comments in your 7 Days column. I am referring to the numerous quips referencing the movement to keep the Pilot J [sic] truck stop from fouling the gateway to Santa Fe at the beginning of the Turquoise Trail Scenic Byway. The redundant commentary by your writer suggests that we all like things that are delivered by trucks, but can’t tolerate a truck stop in our midst. That’s just plain ignorant! You might have a penchant for occasional sexfor-pay, but would you want a red-light district in your neighborhood? You should take some civic responsibility and start reporting on the significance of this movement that is afoot to stop this proposed debacle. You know, as do most people in Santa Fe County, that this truck stop belongs well on the outskirts of town. Where’s the coverage by you that we deserve?

With advancing technologies and the rapid adoption of renewable energy, solar has become more affordable and efficient than ever. A typical system installed today will pay for itself in an average of just five years. By effectively eliminating your electricity bills, a system can end up paying for itself multiple times over. According to a recent study from North Carolina State University, a home solar system is actually a better financial bet than the average stock market investment. Not to mention: it’s an opportunity to safeguard natural resources and promote energy independence. Even without tax incentives, going solar would be a smart investment for nearly any home or a business. But—with today’s tax incentives—solar is an incredible bargain.
The 30% federal tax credit is now in effect. The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the income taxes that you would otherwise pay to the federal government. Both the residential and commercial credits are equal to 30 percent of your solar investment. This is an opportunity for serious savings.
For small businesses, the solar depreciation allowance just expanded. Businesses get an added tax benefit from accelerated depreciation. The recent tax reform law allows a solar array to be 100% depreciated in the first year. This means an additional 10% tax benefit that owners of rentals, commercial real estate, and other businesses—small and large— can realize. Tax benefits make solar a fantastic investment. But homeowners and businesses must act now because both the solar tax credit and depreciation allowances will phase out soon.
The takeaway is clear: This is the year to go solar.

‘Grave Passive Neglect’
Family of man shot by SFPD last July adds hospital to lawsuit
B Y J U S T I N H O R WAT H @justinhorwath
T
he family of a man fatally shot by Santa Fe police in July has added to a wrongful death lawsuit Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, two of its employees and a company that runs its emergency room. The decision to release the man from the hospital the day before he died, despite signs of untreated schizophrenia, amounts to negligence and demonstrates deception in how the hospital advertises its psychiatric services, the family claims in its amended complaint, filed March 22 in state District Court in Santa Fe. Anthony Benavidez died after two Santa Fe police officers fired 17 shots at the 24-year-old during a July standoff at an apartment complex in southeast Santa Fe. The day before his death, Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies and city police were sent to the Tuscany at St. Francis Apartments to evict Benavidez for a single late monthly rent payment. Benavidez’ half-sister, Roseanne Lopez, last year filed a lawsuit naming the city of Santa Fe in the alleged wrongful death of Benavidez, claiming it has failed to properly train the police force in de-escalation techniques during encounters with people with untreated mental illness.
With the help three law firms, Lopez is now taking aim at the hospital. The amended complaint names as additional defendants Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, a New Mexico nonprofit that runs Santa Fe’s only hospital; Christus Health, a Texas corporation that owns the hospital; Healthfront, PC, a New Mexico corporation that contracts with the hospital to provide emergency room care; Howard Gabor, a board member of Healthfront and licensed emergency room physician at the hospital; Anjali Yeolekar-Dasari, a licensed physician practicing psychiatric medicine in the emergency room; and Tamara Dubinsky, a clinical counselor for the emergency room. Arturo Delgado, spokesman for Christus St. Vincent, says Yeolekar-Dasari and Dubinsky are employees of the hospital and thus could not comment. Gabor, with Healthfront, did not return a voicemail seeking comment on the lawsuit. “When it comes to behavioral health patients, there are cases in which we are able to admit and treat patients in our hospital, cases in which patients are released, and cases in which we transfer patients to a more appropriate setting and level of care,” Delgado says in a statement. On July 18, sheriff’s deputies wrote in reports that they first encountered Be-

navidez inside his dark, first-floor apartment staring motionless at a computer screen; Benavidez was slow-moving with stiff limbs and oily hair from failure to bathe, according to the lawsuit, which says his refrigerator was full of rotting meat. Concerned about Benavidez’ condition, the sheriff’s deputies called an ambulance to take him to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center’s emergency room. Laura Schauer Ives, one of the attorneys representing Benavidez’ estate, says
NEWS
that’s why first responders asked medical staff at the hospital to involuntarily hold Benavidez. She called the decision to release him “cruel” because he was “clearly unable to care for himself.” Delgado, the hospital spokesman, says in an interview that those decisions are complicated. The lawsuit claims Benavidez met the standard of care for being involuntarily held at the hospital because he was in a state of “grave passive neglect,” which under the state’s involuntary commitment law is defined as “failure to provide for basic personal or medical needs or for one’s own safety to such an extent that it is more likely than not that serious bodily harm will result in the near future.” The lawsuit also claims that Christus St. Vincent and Healthfront “knowingly and repeatedly made false and misleading statements about the quality of psychiatric services” they provide in the Santa Fe community. Christus St. Vincent claims its “psychiatrists perform a comprehensive initial evaluation and medications [sic] when necessary” and that they “will continue to meet with the individual one on one in order to assure a stable recovery,” the lawsuit says. Healthfront makes similar claims, according to the lawsuit. But the providers gave “no such services” to Benavidez, whom the lawsuit claims would not have been released had the defendants adequately assessed his “serious mental condition.” Authorities believe Benavidez, released three hours after being admitted into the emergency room, later broke into the apartment from which he was evicted. The next day, police asked the caseworker to help remove Benavidez. Santa Fe Police claimed they called in a SWAT team after Benavidez stabbed him with a knife, but the lawsuit says Benavidez “nicked” him. After an hour-long standoff, a police SWAT team busted the apartment window and the two officers fired a combined 17 shots at Benavidez through the window frame, killing him. Police claim the officers stormed the apartment and ultimately fired because they believed Benavidez posed a deadly threat, but the lawsuit challenges that claim. A state police spokeswoman said the department passed along its criminal investigation of the shooting, including statements by the two officers, to District Attorney Marco Serna. Serna, who appoints special prosecutors to determine whether police shootings are justified, did not return inquiries from SFR about the status of the review.

Information on maternal services in Northern New Mexico isn’t easy to come by ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
O
wing to a warped sense of priorities, you can go online and find the nearest medical cannabis store anywhere in the state, but no such search tool exists to find maternity care. In New Mexico, both services are under the purview of the Department of Health, though the marijuana locator is maintained by the private company Weedmaps. SFR couldn’t find a prominent public database of pregnancy care clinic locations nor the kinds of care such clinics offer. The reality of this information desert is that women and their families have to rely mostly on word-of-mouth referrals for access to services they need. There are scattered clinics in Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico that offer varying degrees of care, and it can be hard to keep track of who does what. That’s only been compounded by the closure and re-opening of maternity services across the region. This fluidity in services offered, and the abruptness with which it can change, can be especially disruptive for women carrying babies. Libby King was living in Chupadero a little over two years ago, traveling to prenatal appointments at Southwest Care Center on West Alameda to prepare for the birth of her second child. She felt confident in the birthing plan she had created
with midwives there, and planned to have her baby at the onsite birthing center, fulfilling her desire to avoid the clinical environment of a hospital. But then she got a call from Southwest Care, right as she was beginning her final trimester: The birthing unit was closing, and all prenatal services would end. She was referred to an independent midwife, for whom she paid out-of-pocket. “I was pissed,” says King, who had her first child at her home. “I ended up hiring a home birth midwife that didn’t work out, I had to pay [for nine months of services], and that was frustrating because she didn’t attend to my whole pregnancy; only a third of it.” The other nearest nonhospital birthing centers were in Taos and Rio Rancho, too far of a trek for a woman in labor. King wound up having her baby at Presbyterian Española Hospital, where she needed to have a C-section because the baby was breech—something she believe her midwife should have noticed. According to Dr. Sarah Fatland, the chief medical officer at Southwest Care,
the birthing center was closed in early 2016 bebe cause it “didn’t have enough volume to make it [financially] sustainable.” These days, Fatland says, womwom en in need of prenatal care “get rere ferred to other providers, then we’ll take moms and babies after delivery back to us” for individualized postparpostpar tum family care. One place where Southwest Care refers women is Perinatal Associates, which provides “high-risk pregnancy care” including fetal assessments, ulul trasounds and genetics counseling, and whose roster of physicians is all men (all of its midwives are women.) With 10 locations in New Mexico, Perinatal Associates exists as a referral business, and women generally come into contact with it once they’re already receiving some kind of care elsewhere. Another clinic in town, La Familia Medical Center, sees patients referred by Southwest Care and other obstetricians, though it enjoys a name recognition that comes with decades of service. “We do between 300 and 400 deliveries a year,” says Dr. Wendy Johnson, the medical director at La Familia. “We have good collaborative relationships with other [obstetricians and gynecologists] in town, [including at] Christus St. Vincent and Presbyterian Medical Group.” While La Familia has obstetrical specialists and nurses to care for women

before birth, complicated matters could be referred out to other OB-GYNs, and deliveries happen at the hospital or the Presbyterian clinic. A spokesman for Christus St. Vincent says the hospital delivers 1,500 babies a year and provides “prenatal examinations” for thousands more. It also has a four-week childbirth preparation class, and has 11 “suites” where women can give birth and recover for a limited time. A spokeswoman for Presbyterian Healthcare Services, which plans to open a hospital in Santa Fe later this year, says the new medical center will have a six-bed family birthing unit and four suites similar to those at Christus St. Vincent. Last year, Presbyterian also opened a small clinic to provide prenatal care in Las Vegas, New Mexico, after the Alta Vista Regional Hospital there shuttered its maternity services in March 2016. That closure prompted Attorney General Hector Balderas to send a letter to Alta Vista CEO Chris Wolf expressing concern that the closure created “an unacceptable gap in services for women across the northeastern part of the state.” After receiving the letter, and after a Las Vegas woman died in a car accident while traveling to Santa Fe for prenatal care, Alta Vista announced that it had hired two OB-GYN physicians in order to “reestablish OB services,” although a spokeswoman for the hospital did not answer when it made the hires. Dr. Tracy Wilkerson-Burton, one of those physicians, began working at Alta Vista on April 1. The clinic is “picking up and getting busier every day,” she tells SFR, but the hospital continues to struggle to get the word out that it’s open to women once again. “The number of patients realizing we’re open” is still low, Wilkerson-Burton tells SFR. “I know some of them are still going to other locations.” If only there were a Weedmaps, but for having babies.

ON FEMINISM, SELF-DEFENSE, AND SEPARATING MEN FROM THE MAN
B
BY C H A R LOT T E J U S I N S K I @blackdresspics
efore we begin, let’s lay out the basic facts. I am a young, white, cisgender, straight, able-bodied, college-educated, employed American woman. I do not consider myself ever to have been physically abused, assaulted or raped. I have a supportive network of family and friends. I do not have severe mental illness or trauma. All these things are pure luck, of course— but, all in all, I have it pretty good. Yet I still go into full-body anxiety shakes before every single date with a new man. Yes, every single date. The world has always felt like a pretty safe place for me. As a teen, I’d climb aboard Amtrak trains and cross state lines without a second thought. It’s my job to talk to people I don’t know. I’ve camped alone in grizzly country. I’ve always gotten the impression that, while I was born a girl and therefore societally “lesser,” that it shouldn’t be too hard to bust stereotypes and gain respect. Just go to class and eat your Wheaties and you’ll be fine. Right? Right. That way of living worked for 31 years. And then, Donald Trump was elected president. It was a sucker-punch. The 2016 election and the ensuing mainstream surge of hate groups and casual bigotry, to a great number of Americans, felt new and terrifying. More privileged people finally learned what marginalized populations have always known: Institutionalized misogyny, deep-seated
racism, toxic masculinity and a rabid fear of anyone who presents as anything other than a straight white cis man are woven into the very fabric of our country. Think pieces on the social repercussions started even before the vote: Relationships ended. Marriages dissolved. Thanksgiving dinners not only got ugly, but maybe stopped happening altogether. Women who previously walked through the world fearlessly were now calculating every step. I was one of them. “As a society, we’re becoming more and more versed in talking about trauma, not just as an individual thing; we’re talking about generational trauma,” says Alena Schaim, executive director of Resolve (resolvenm.org), a violence prevention organization. “We don’t acknowledge quite enough of what it is to be living in this stream, even if you haven’t had an individual circumstance that you would call an assault or abuse. … It’s the air we breathe, it’s the water we

drink. Not that I think that there’s a conspiracy theory, but it’s not an accident. Violence is a form of social control, and it is acting very effectively in that you don’t even have to have been assaulted to change your behavior. It’s the same with black folks getting shot by the police; you don’t have to have known anyone [who's been shot]. It’s gonna change how you act.”
to their cars.) She believes in communication, clear boundaries, diplomacy, and a keen sense of our priorities to keep our dating lives uncluttered and productive. Having crossed into my 30s, I do indeed feel that my romantic world is considerably less overwhelming than it was 10 years ago, but I still get nervous even thinking about dating— even as I actively do it. When meeting new men, I constantly have what Alena Schaim would call the “What If?” bubble. What if it goes bad? When my editor originally sent me an email with information about Resolve’s 20-hour Women’s Basics self-defense class, asking if I thought there could be a story there, immediately I thought: “Oh, wow—I could turn this into a story about dating.” It felt like a pretty natural progression. But let’s step back: What does it mean that, to me, information about fending off attacks feels mostly useful in romantic interactions? What does it mean that I'd feel more comfortable dating when I also know how to break a man’s nose? What does it mean that a woman is more likely to be assaulted by someone familiar to her; that the rapist in the dark alley, while certainly real, is much less common than the rapist with whom you shared creme brulee a couple hours earlier? The class I took with Resolve, described as empowerment selfdefense, did not focus entirely on warding off sexual assault. Yes, moves and techniques to thwart would-be rapists are a large part of the curriculum, but the greater mission statement of Resolve is “to prevent violence by building skills and inspiring individuals to be agents of personal, community and cultural change.” The organization, which originated as Impact Personal Safety, was
Navigating the world with confidence is Resolve’s goal; navigating the dating world with confidence is Ferman’s. A concept that came up repeatedly in our discussion was the idea of clearly stated priorities; she asks her clients for three or five must-haves in a partner, and says that most problems between couples come from those top needs not being met. From wanting kids to pubic hair preferences, those needs can be just about anything you want them to be, she maintains, as long as you’re aware of them. When I ask her if this political climate has affected her business, she surprises me: “For the vast majority of people, being aligned on politics will not make it to the top three.” That being said, however, she continues, “This is the first time in 27 years of being a personal matchmaker that I have had to—all the time now, when I am interviewing, screening, vetting—ask the question: Are you highly charged and emotional about politics right now, and can you be in a space with somebody who doesn’t agree with you, or is it going to turn into an argument?” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

COURTESY JULIE FERMAN
Contrary to the (arguably misogynistic) stereotype, most of the straight feminists I know are either in healthy, committed relationships with men, or wouldn’t be opposed to one. For many people, it’s simply an instinct to want to be connected to others, if not coupled. The last few decades have seen numerous studies and survey responses indicating not only emotional distress, but physical illness can be exacerbated by feeling lonely. And, ideally, a significant other is someone you really enjoy who is with you a lot of the time—and what’s so bad about that? Of course it’s a desirable thing when done well. Dating, then, is one way to connect with people—so here I am. Comfortably single for many years, and not often lonely, but pretty much always alone. Therefore, I date. All this brought me, through Facebook ad algorithms, to dating guru Julie Ferman of Santa Fe Matchmaking ( julieferman.com). It’s fitting that her dog is a golden retriever. She’s the human embodiment of the breed: blond, bubbly, positive and approachable. Ferman, who’s been a professional matchmaker for 27 years, has recently begun offering her services, from consults and coaching to direct matchmaking, in Santa Fe. All things dating and love are her favorite subjects to talk about, as it were; she believes dating is a culture, that love is the most important thing on earth, and that she can help us navigate it all. She’s just the kind of person who makes you feel good to be around her. When it comes to her business, she charges $295-$495 for a consultation and goes from there. She personally interviews all of her clients, generally operating from a very genteel place. (When I asked about “bad behavior” that her clients may have been accused of on dates she set up, she talked about how men may disappoint women by never walking them
formed by volunteers at the Santa Fe Rape Crisis Center (now Solace Crisis Treatment Center) and became Resolve in March 2017. It focuses on “strengths-based” skills, both physical and mental, for cultivating healthy relationships, including anti-bias and anti-bullying curriculums. The class I took focused on finding ways that everyone, regardless of physical strength, size, age or bodily ability, can defend themselves. This also encompasses students’ self-confidence, boundary-setting and empowerment to advocate for themselves (everything from saying no to a pushy suitor to telling friends, “No, not fajitas again, I’d like pizza”). It’s a tall order. For lack of a better term, empowerment self-defense is nuanced; it acknowledges that not all strangers in dark alleys are dangerous, that not all people claiming to be our friends actually are, and not all people who treat us disrespectfully are our enemies. It teaches physical skills as well as negotiation and verbal techniques to get out of sketchy situations. It focuses on strengths instead of isolating weaknesses.

Coupled with that self-awareness comes analysis of your own interactions with others. Schaim tells me that releasing selfblame while also finding ways we can act on our own behalf is what her colleague Lynne Marie Wanamaker calls “the self-defense paradox; that simultaneously it is always the assailant’s fault, but we simultaneously have agency in our lives and can do things about it,” she says. “That’s really challenging, to hold both— and why self-defense is so often called victim-blaming. It’s really hard to hold that it’s always that person’s fault, and of course we want to believe we can do something and feel agency in those scary moments.” Congruity and civility play into both Resolve’s teachings and Ferman’s philosophy. When I ask Ferman about rejecting a man, “there’s a fear factor there” for women, she acknowledges, “and the fear can come from ‘I don’t want to hurt somebody’s feelings’ or ‘I don’t want somebody to take revenge on me’ or whatever. But I think everyone who’s out there who’s single needs to have [positive] words” for rejection. Keeping those positive or neutral terms handy was paramount at Resolve. Whereas I have always asked gawking creepers a snarky, “Can I help you?” Schaim offered a safer alternative:

“What’s going on?” The simple question was how we opened every scenario. Similarly, if a student was being a little too nice to an instructor who was playing the role of an aggressor, Schaim often firmly coached: “Drop the smile.” “Drop the sir.” “Drop the please.” But, we were gently reminded, don’t immediately jump to panic and self-defense the second you see a man. If a student quickly raised her hands and yelled, “I need you to leave!” the second she saw the suited instructor, Schaim might suggest they take stock of the situation: “Talk to him,” she might say. He’s not threatening you yet. Maybe he won’t. It’s also okay to be kind.
COURTESY RESOLVE
Any answer is fine, she says—as long as you put it out there first-thing. But still, she says incredulously, “I’ve never seen it like this before.” It all comes back to self-awareness. “The mistake that people are making is allowing item number seven or 14 on the list to blow up possibilities with a brandnew person,” she says, “and five years later, they’re wondering why they’re still single. … What I’m really encouraging people to do is get clear about who they are and what they need.”
Resolve's empowerment self-defense classes teach students skills to defend themselves physically, yes, but a larger and more nuanced focus is on self-confidence and healthy communities and relationships of all types.
Schaim says that Resolve has made concentrated efforts over the years to be as intersectional and inclusive as possible, a shift that has shown in the demographics of instructors and students; both are increasingly made up of people of color. The efforts also manifest in the class’ rallying cries. For example, at the end of each roleplay scenario, once Schaim’s whistle signals a knockout, the classmates yell together: “Go get help!” Schaim told me later that the phrase is, however, a relatively new addition. Previously, the safety phrase had been “Nine-one-one!” It became more clear in recent years, however, that involving authorities or the police wasn’t always the best way for some people to deal with a crisis—and, for some folks, would make them feel pointedly less safe. The phrase “go get help” is far more inclusive. Sure, it could mean to call 911, but the survivor can decide for themselves what to do. The constant yelling and calling serves a dual purpose in Resolve classes: Schaim told us that former students who have had to use their defense skills after taking a class have said they can actually hear their classmates’ voices calling in their head during the attack.
COURTESY RESOLVE
Finally, he gestured one last time. He turned his back and left. I felt like my skin was making noise. Schaim blew the whistle. He was gone—and I had hardly said a word.
Resolve students circle up before, during, and after classes to reinforce a feeling of community.
“Anything you learn with adrenaline goes in really deep,” Schaim says, repeating a point made often in class. “And one of the things that goes in really deep is the instructors’ voices. … That is why we coach from the positive, and we try to do strengths-based approaches.” There is also the simple practical purpose of speaking and yelling: It keeps the student breathing. In scenarios that are scary and stressful, yelling a hearty “no” with each defensive move forced us to take a breath each time. And, though I fancy myself pretty cool-headed, I found that yes, it definitely is necessary. In one role-play, the instructor, clad in a huge Iron Man-esque helmet and fullbody football padding, was “approaching me outside a bar.” I’d previously mentioned to the instructors that I believe I “have a mouth on me” (to use my words), and that while I’ve always been able to talk myself both into and out of trouble, I fear that someday words will fail me and it will turn physical. The instructor, from inside the giant foam head, made some shitty comments and tried to get a rise out of me. I kept it pretty cool. But something set him off, and he came at me. I kept in mind the steps I’d been taught—left foot ahead, right foot behind for balance, heel of my palm up under the chin, yelling as I go—and my adrenaline spiked but bam, I hit hard, and there he went. A pretty average scenario. He was on his way out. I relaxed back into our taught “ready stance” with my hands elevated, protecting my face. I watched him as he backed away. The voice still came from behind the mask. He called me horrible names. I

remained cool. He pointed at me. “I’ll be watching you,” came his slightly muffled, distant voice. Before I even realized what my face had done, I had raised my eyebrows and tucked my chin in a wordless Oh, really? challenge. An angry “you fucking bitch” came from behind the mask and he charged me. I laughed at first. I may even have said something like, “Oh, no, I was just kidding”—because I had been. I always am. I always am. Right? This was just a joke. But he still came at me. So I stepped in and rammed the heels of my palms into his chin, but he didn’t stop—and Schaim called from my left, “knee, knee,” so I drove my knee into his groin as the line
called "no." And again. And again. And again. I shoved him away. And again. He was doubled over. I gained my balance. He staggered backward. I stepped back into ready stance, hands protecting my face. I had to gasp for air. When I followed Schaim’s command to “look, look” to either side, when I said the word aloud, it was more of a gulp. A sob came out. Fuck. I couldn’t breathe. Schaim blew her whistle to signal a knockout. As the line of classmates chanted “go get help” and I ran to the end of the mat, I cried. Hard. The next weekend, on the last day of Women’s Basics, a Sunday, we did more reversals. Oh, boy. Here goes nothing. I was, again, role-playing outside a bar at night. The instructor approached me. He talked some shit. He talked a lot of shit, actually. I stood stone-faced, my hands raised in ready stance. I repeated that I’d asked him to leave, that I didn’t want any trouble. I told him to go away. He kept talking. Kept calling me a bitch. Kept egging. Kept pushing. I stayed still. Then, I felt a palpable vibration in my nose and lips. I wasn’t going to raise my eyebrows this time. I was going to remain solid, not give him the inch from which he’d take a mile. He was going to leave without ever having touched me. I’d see to it. I felt the paradox: I have no control over his actions, but fuck if I wasn’t going to make this go my way. The scenario went on way longer than most others would—at least it seemed that way. I didn’t know how much longer I could bite my tongue.
A week or two later, lunching at a sunny table at the Anasazi Restaurant, hefty shrimp perched in my salad, the body aches from the Resolve class couldn’t feel further away. Ferman and I were wrapping up a long interview when she smiled at me. She does that a lot. “My prediction is,” she said warmly, after rattling off what she sees as my strengths, “your whole life, you will always be able to attract men. Don’t worry about it.” The comment took me aback at first. After all this time I’d just spent railing against toxic masculinity, talking about burning the patriarchy to the ground, how strangely traumatized I feel and how difficult I sometimes find dating—what would possess Ferman to say that to me? And why did it, in no small way, satisfy me to hear it? Am I blind, or boy-crazy, or shallow, or too enamored of dick to think critically about the ways misogyny has destroyed so much? I paused. I thought about the male friends I hold close, the decent guys I’ve gone on dates with throughout my life, the ex-boyfriends I still keep in touch with. The men I’ve yet to meet, the men I’ve already met and think about often, the full-body anxiety shakes, the fantastic dates I’ve yet to go on, the shitty dates I’ve yet to go on. Frustration with patriarchy is not frustration with men. I love men, even as I fear them. I welcome them, even as I question them. And then I nod. “Well,” I replied, perhaps haltingly—“I hope so.” On a chilly night, at a comfortably divey bar with a new acquaintance, we get our drinks and sit at a quiet table. I amicably allow him to buy the first round if he promises I can get the second. As our date progresses and goes better and better with each passing minute, it becomes clear that we’re almost entirely politically squared. The deeper we go into the current events rabbit hole, the better it all lines up. He voted for Gary Johnson, but whatever—nobody’s perfect. I pull up the sleeve of my sweater. “And of course I have my rabid feminist ‘nevertheless’ tattoo right here,” I say with a laugh, showing him my right forearm. He looks at it, then looks at me. “That’s … kind of awesome,” he says, half to himself. He smiles. And, despite myself—despite everything—I smile back.

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl
I
walked into SITE Santa Fe’s recent Digest This event thinking, as one does before Saturday breakfast, about Soylent Green. Digest This is SITE’s monthly series pairing the culinary arts with themes from the museum’s Future Shock exhibition. Soylent Green is the imaginary futuristic substance fed to the starving masses in the eponymous 1973 film. Spoiler alert: Soylent Green is people. We were not fed people (as far as you know, says the voice in my head) but, rather, pancakes created by SITE’s Pancake Bot. 3-D printed food wasn’t the sole emphasis of Extraordinary Structures CEO Zane Fischer’s presentation, but one example of the myriad uses for the technology. Fischer, also a Make Santa Fe board member, described 3-D printing simply enough as an additive manufacturing process: The user creates solid objects by programming the printer to create various types of stuff (tools, clothes, art, food, prosthetics) and adding layers of materials (metal, plastic, sugar etc).
SITE discussion pairs 3-D pancakes with thermodynamics. Make Santa Fe doesn’t currently emphasize 3-D printed food, Fischer told me in an interview in advance of the SITE event, although as a member-based organization (in which members have access to Make Santa Fe’s myriad digital and manufacturing tools), that could change based on need and desire. Fischer was the person who evoked Soylent Green when I asked him about the potential for 3-D printed food to address nutrition and food scarcity issues. An April 2017 Digital Trends article touted 3-D printed food’s capacity to, for example, replace ingredients in some meals with more renewable algae or insects and/or reduce the fossil fuels associated with the transportation of food supplies by creating “food cartridges” for grocery stores. “I’m a little skeptical of the mass adoption of more functional food manufacturing,” Fischer said. “I could be wrong, we could all be eating Soylent Green any day now. It would come out of a 3-D printer.” Instead, he says he thinks the application is more likely to be used “at the cake shop at your local market, which would have a 3-D printer for custom cupcakes and frosting jobs,” or at chocolatiers or highend restaurants.

In fact, Fischer’s presentation included a look at Food Ink, a London restaurant that describes itself as “the world’s first 3-D printing restaurant,” in which not just the food but the utensils and furniture all are made through the technology (and provided to attendees through a series of high-end pop-up dinners, which, judging from the photos and videos on Food Ink’s website, appear to be at the opposite end of the spectrum from feeding hungry people around the world—one 12-course meal served in Barcelona included Shakira on the guest list). My dystopian musings were not remotely on point at SITE’s event, where children happily ate rocket-shaped pancakes with fresh strawberries and nobody evoked a desolate future in which the only humans who survive eat dehydrated

strawberries while wearing virtual reality headsets (this, apparently, was a thing at one of Food Ink’s exclusive dinners). But perhaps my cynicism is at odds with the actual science of existence (how’s that for a transitional sentence?). Digest This began with an entertaining talk by Santa Fe Institute post-doctoral fellow Artemy Kolchinsky, who discussed entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Entropy, Kolchinsky said, is “one of the most important and central but misunderstood concepts in science and life.” At the risk of perpetuating misunderstanding, my take-away was that entropy is the number of ways in which some outcome can occur and that those outcomes will be messy and disordered far more often than not (thus explaining every experience I’ve ever had.) To illustrate this point, Kolchinsky showed a sock drawer in which socks thrown in randomly landed haphazardly over and over again, and only neatly one in a billion times. A sock drawer, he said, will always devolve into messiness, never into neatness. Under the Second Law of Thermodynamics, entropy in the universe increases over time. It also says that if entropy decreases by any amount in one place, it must increase by that amount elsewhere. Back to pancakes. Kolchinsy showed an image of an Albert Einstein-shaped pancake, noting that the amount of energy required to order batter into Einstein’s image was significant and would require “messing up some other part of the universe” to compensate for the amount of expended energy. Thus, given the universe’s propensity to devolve into chaos, “it’s amazing how resilient life is,” Kolchinski said. After all, life on Earth has survived past the 4 billion year mark. This seems like a more cheerful perspective than mine—so, you know, I’ll have what he’s having.

And I think, as dreadful as the impetus has been, it’s going to be a nutritious moment for the discussion of race,” Peggy Diggs says. She, along with fellow artists/coordinators Veronica Jackson and Issa Nyaphaga, has kicked off a monthly gathering and open discussion about race in modern-day America. Diggs says there is no specific endgame outside of frankness, respect and understanding. “I deeply feel that folks need to have an opportunity to talk about race,” she says. “We need to hear ourselves talk; we need to figure out what we think.” All are welcome.

Celebratory Annual arts and culture event at the Santa Fe Indian School turns 3 When Clara Natonabah began offering after school tutoring in English at the Santa Fe Indian School three years ago, she discovered a glaring omission in the lives of the kids at her alma mater: “I realized there were really no performing arts happening there, and it kind of crushed my spirit for them,” she says. “So I said OK, even though I didn’t have any resources, I started talking to the kids and they said they wanted something like that, that they’d work for something like that.” And so they did, with Natonabah’s help; thus, the SFIS Celebration of the Arts was born. For Natonabah, a graduate of Boston’s Berklee School of Music, a soon-to-be grad student at Middlebury College in Vermont (and perhaps most impressively, a lifetime Santa Fean who returned to Santa Fe to enrich others’ lives post-college), the work has been worth it. “First I had to secure a place where we could meet a few times a week, and I wanted to instill the kids with a sense of pride in their work,” she recalls. “Then there was the rehearsal and dress rehearsal; the practice and peer critique, where the students could give each other creative feedback, work on skills and live
performance, memorization—they were able to excel.” The annual event, which hits its third iteration this week, grew from there. Thursday’s event is poised to be the biggest and best yet, and guest artists scheduled include Albuquerque Native MC Def-I and 11-year-old vocalist Anjamora from Taos Pueblo; plus live painting demonstrations, musicians, poets, spoken-word artists, dancers and numerous students—all Native. “It’s something that’s not only needed, but fueled by the student body and, hopefully, I can bridge our school with other schools in the future to create a platform for Indigenous youth,” Natonabah explains. “I feel responsible and humbled and grateful for the opportunity because, for me, these kids are some of the most valuable, underrated and under-heard voices of our time. It’s a powerful statement to have an all-Native lineup.” (Alex De Vore) SFIS CELEBRATION OF THE ARTS 6-8 pm Thursday April 12. Free.

WEDNESDAY 18 APRIL AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Rachel Kushner’s first novel, Telex from Cuba, is set in Oriente, Cuba, in an expat community funded by the United Fruit Company and a nickel mine, during the years leading up to Castro’s revolution. Of the book, the New York Times wrote, “Out of tropical rot, Kushner has fashioned a story that will linger like a whiff of decadent Colony perfume.” Her second novel, The Flamethrowers, is set mostly in the mid-1970s and follows the life of Reno, so named for her place of birth, a young artist who comes to New York intent on marrying her love of motorcycles, speed, and art. The title takes its name from weapons used by the Italian Arditi, a division of elite shock troops that operated during the First World War. Kushner has twice been a finalist for the National Book Award and is a Guggenheim Fellow. Her fiction and essays appear regularly in the New York Times, the Paris Review, The Believer, Artforum, Bookforum, Fence, Bomb, and Grand Street. Michael Silverblatt is the host of KCRW’s Bookworm, a nationally syndicated radio program showcasing writers of fiction and poetry.

hen I was in college, I’d already gotten into the idea of contemplative work,” John Widell, aka Johny Broomdust, says. For the better part of a decade, Broomdust has performed around Santa Fe with The Broomdust Caravan, a ragtag group of rotating musicians dedicated to an Americana-meets-country-Western sound. The band has boasted some pretty heavy-hitters, from vocalist Felecia Ford and fiddler Karina Wilson to St. Range front man Justin Lindsay and singer-songwriter Jamie Russell—but now he’s hanging it up. “Early on, when I was a Catholic kid, I was thinking I wanted to be some kind of monk, and I’ve always done a lot of mediation while practicing law,” Broomdust continues, “but the actual sitting every single day didn’t start until five or six years ago.” His practice evolved, leading to Santa Fe’s Upaya Zen Center, where he’s continued to hone his meditation skills. The next stop? A pilgrimage of sorts to Cornwall, Vermont, and the Bread Loaf Mountain Zen Community, a center focused on zen practices. There, Broomdust says, he’ll live and engage in meditation much more regularly, washing dishes and sweeping floors in exchange for the lodging and the teachings of Sensei Joshin Byrnes, who is also the vice abbot at Upaya. “I’m taking my upright bass, a guitar and a mandolin with me,” Broomdust says. He continues, in typical Buddhist fashion, “It’s a big thing in zen, not knowing; if you were going to sum up the ways, the

ethics, not knowing would be the first tenet—I’m keeping an open mind.” It sounds intense, but also kind of lovely. “The closest I’ve come is a week, a personal retreat where a bunch of people sit all day and the only thing you do is sleep and have a little physical exercise,” Broomdust explains. “I’m not sure what it’ll be like to do that for 30 days.” Still, he’ll be leaving Santa Fe in better shape than he found it with a farewell show at Duel Brewing featuring a cavalcade of local stars. Greg Butera, Brian Little, David Waldrop, Mikey Chavez, Ben Wright, Eric Chappelle and Michael Kott are just a few of the musicians showing up to send Broomdust off right. “The idea is to get together as many of the people who’ve played with the band as possible,” Broomdust tells SFR. “The past is always sort of a big trail of dust behind you, and whenever you look back, you get a little sad. I’m not overwhelmed by tears, but I bet you I’ll get to about Nashville and I’ll shed a few thinking about folding this life up he following night and leaving it behind—I and just up the way think I’ll be back, but from Duel you’ll maybe in a slightly differfind the combinaent form.” tion of Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery’s soft-opening antics FAREWELL JOHNY BROOMDUST with the country-ass blues of The Palm in the Cypress.

Production from Bill Palmer is crisp and clean as it’s ever been while keeping it raw enough around the edges to recall the band’s down-home Delta blues and classic bluegrass and country forebears. Recorded primarily live rather than track-by-track, album highlights include the titular track, a stripped-down call-and response number full of gorgeous vocal harmonies between vocalists Zoe Wilcox and Sarah Ferrell. But for something a little more dirty, try “Don’t Ante Up,” a booming harmonica and slide guitar-laden tune that cautions us to not “ante up with the John Widell, aka Johny Broomdust (center) has devil.” All right.

Bard Edrington V—so smooth, so sweet.
Still, for my money, vocalist and primary songwriter Bard Edrington V is the real draw, as smooth and sweet and deep as a voice can be when singing the blues without letting go of that driving pain. Edrington also slays the cigar box and oil can guitar(s), which he builds himself, hitting an endearingly lo-fi tone that’s head-bobby despite the sometimes complex finger-picking. “I grew up in the South, in Tennessee and Alabama, so I was always kind of around outlaw country, but also the blues stuff,” he says. “I try to write stuff that’s true to what I’ve experienced—I try to live up to the name I was given and tell stories.” As an added bonus, legendary local Americana troubadour Boris McCutcheon is all over the album, so, frankly, if this town isn’t already nuts about this band it means y’all went and changed on me. Either way, check ’em out for yourself at Tumbleroot while you’re sampling from any of their eight proprietary beers and numerous spirits. Damn, it’s popping off around here.

ould a dog be a good soldier? Loyal, guileless and abundantly enthusiastic, a canine front line would be hard to beat. For local multimedia artist Geoffrey Gorman, it’s a question that provoked an entire show. Recuerdos from a Forgotten War, which opens Friday at Santa Fe’s preeminent gallery-on-wheels, Axle Contemporary, actually came about during the Iraq War. Gorman recalls looking through old photos of the American Civil War by era photographers Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner. As the artist notes in his press release, “I heard something about mercenaries fighting in Iraq, which led me to wonder what would happen if dogs were used to fight a war and what the battlefield might look like after the fighting was over.” The objects in Recuerdos, however, aren’t mutilated or shrapnel-torn, but lovingly preserved with embellishments of jewels, gold and other dazzling accessories. The resulting remains are transformed into ornate, seemingly mummified artifacts. Paul Klee, Marcel Duchamp, Ed and Nancy Kienholz and Louise Bourgeois are all artists Gorman cites as influential to his work, as are anonymous creators of both ancient and contemporary work and even mummies; of special interest are the so-called bog people—mummified remains discovered in Europe, mummified bodies found in the Middle East and Peru. For years, Axle’s proprietors, Matthew Chase-Daniel and Jerry Wellman, have made it their mission to push boundaries, but the motivations for this admittedly oddball show are straightforwardly tender. “Dogs occupy some strange liminal place between human culture and the natural world,” Chase-Daniel tells SFR. “They can calm us down and cheer us up, especially when the sphere of human relations gets difficult to navigate.” The show comprises dog limbs, mostly legs, made of wood, plastic, metal and

other materials. In one, the top portion of a dog’s wrist and paw is a stick; in place of claws are rusty nails, and pearls poke out from different portions of the arm. Other body parts are accompanied by fragmented metal, and some are covered by what at first appear to be bullet holes or wounds, but are actually the heads of screws, whose rims bleed with rust. Axle’s funky old truck, hollowed out to form an immersive gallery space, works well for a show like this. The objects in Recuerdos are presented behind glass, so viewers can look, but not get too close. This makes it feel like a traveling,
old-timey circus whose oddities—human, animal or other—remain tantalizingly out of reach. This isn’t meant, though, to be a freak show. For Gorman, who grew up in Maryland on a farm, dogs were integral and abundant, part of the fabric of working life but also emotional life. Gorman was raised on an old plantation about 30 miles north of Baltimore. “My father impressed on me how important it was to have animals around.” His deep affection for man’s best friend is poignantly evidenced in his current series, but for decades he’s interpreted unique

traits of a range of creatures. Gorman must have gotten some of his love for animals from his father, who would bring home cats and dogs, but also rabbits, snakes and squirrels, and even a squirrel monkey once. The Santa Fe-based artist has always been fascinated by the animal kingdom, citing a practically spiritual connection. “Sometimes I think that I am more in the animal world than in the human world,” he says. “I spend so much of my time thinking about animals and how they live and how they survive. I guess I would have to call myself an animist.” Unsurprisingly, Gorman also considers himself to be a pacifist, a viewpoint which in many ways informs his creative practice. Imagining animals as soldiers first occurred to him during the outbreak of the Gulf Wars in the 1990s. “I think of the animals I build as picking up what we discarded as we’ve ruined the environment and using these pieces of flotsam and jetsam to make themselves stronger,” Gorman explains, highlighting another of his passions: the environment, which he believes humanity is destroying at an alarming clip. “Every day, species are becoming extinct,” he laments. He sees aspects of his work as hinting at potential retribution. “These animals are planning attacks against us humans; we can’t see them, but they are in the shadows.” Detached animal limbs sound jarring, but Gorman’s emphasis is on compassion and understanding, and he highlights the innocence and beauty of his subjects with gentle, even reverential treatment. The message is one of respect for life, especially that of the most vulnerable. RECUERDOS FROM A FORGOTTEN WAR 5 pm Friday April 13. Free.

She is also anthropologically and historically allocated in another temporal space continuum. And last but not least: She runs less quickly than me despite eight years age difference and her having the lungs of a 26-year-old nonsmoker. Thoughts? -Desperate Erotic Situation I’m a 36-year-old straight woman. I was sexually and physically abused as a kid, and raped in my early 20s. I have been seeing a great therapist for the last five years, and I am processing things and feeling better than I ever have. I was in a long-term relationship that ended about two years ago. I started dating this past year, but I’m not really clicking with anyone. I’ve had a lot of first dates, but nothing beyond that. My problem is that I’d really love to get laid. The idea of casual sex and one-night stands sounds great—but in reality, moving that quickly with someone I don’t know or trust freaks me out, causes me to shut down, and prevents me from enjoying anything. Even thinking about going home with someone causes me to panic. When I was in a relationship, the sex was great. But now that I’m single, it seems like this big, scary thing. Is it possible to get laid without feeling freaked out? -Sexual Comfort And Reassurance Eludes Dame It is possible for you to get laid without feeling freaked out. The answer—how you go home with someone without panicking—is so obvious, SCARED, that I’m guessing your therapist has already suggested it: Have sex with someone you know and trust. You didn’t have any issues having sex with your ex because you knew and trusted him. For your own emotional safety, and to avoid recovery setbacks, you’re going to have to find someone willing to get to know you—someone willing to make an emotional investment in you—before you can have sex again. You’ve probably thought to yourself, “But everyone else is just jumping into bed with strangers and having amazing sexual experiences!” And while it is true that many people are capable of doing just that, at least as many or more are incapable of having impulsive onenight stands because they too have a history of trauma, or because they have other psychological, physical, or logistical issues that make onenight stands impossible. (Some folks, of course, have no interest in one-night stands.) Your trauma left you with this added burden, SCARED, and I don’t want to minimize your legitimate frustration or your anger. It sucks, and I fucking hate the people who victimized you. But it may help you feel a little better about having to make an investment in someone before becoming intimate—which really isn’t the worst thing in the world—if you can remind yourself that you aren’t alone. Demisexuals, other victims of trauma, people with body-image issues, people whose sexual interests are so stigmatized they don’t feel comfortable disclosing them to people they’ve just met—lots of people face the same challenge you do. Something else to bear in mind: It’s not unheard of for someone reentering the dating scene to have some difficulty making new connections at first. The trick is to keep going on dates until you finally click with someone. In other words, SCARED, give yourself a break and take your time. Also, don’t hesitate to tell the men you date that you need to get to know a person before jumping into bed with him. That will scare some guys off, but only those guys who weren’t willing to get to know you—and those aren’t guys you would have felt safe fucking anyway, right? So be open and honest, keep going on those first dates, and eventually you’ll find yourself on a fifth date with a guy you can think about taking home without feeling panicked. Good luck. This is about a girl, of course. Pros: She cannot hide her true feelings. Cons: Criminal, irascible, grandiose sense of self, racist, abstemious, self-centered, anxious, moralist, monogamous, biased, denial as a defense mechanism, manipulative, liar, envious, and ungrateful.

If someone is criminal, racist, and dishonest—to say nothing of being allocated in another temporal space continuum (whatever the fuck that means)—I don’t see how “cannot hide her true feelings” lands on the “pro” side of the pro/con ledger. You shouldn’t want to be with a dishonest, moralizing bigot, DES, so the fact that this particular dishonest, moralizing bigot is incapable of hiding her truly repulsive feelings isn’t a reason to consider seeing her. Not being able to mask hateful feelings isn’t a redeeming quality—it’s the opposite. My boyfriend and I love each other deeply, and the thought of breaking up devastates me. We also live together. I deeply regret it and am full of shame, but I impulsively went through his texts for the first time. I found out that for the past few months he has been sexting and almost definitely hooking up with someone who I said I was not comfortable with. After our initial conversation about her (during which I expressed my discomfort), he never brought her up again. Had I known that he needed her in his life this badly, I would have taken some time to sit with my feelings and figure out where my discomfort with her was coming from and tried to move through it. We are in an open relationship, but his relationship with her crosses what we determined as our “cheating” boundary: hiding a relationship. How do I confess to what I did and confront him about what I found without it blowing up into a major mess? -Upset Girl Hopes Relationship Survives Snooping is always wrong, of course, except when the snooper discovers something they had a right to know. While there are definitely less-ambiguous examples (cases where the snoopee was engaged in activities that put the snooper at risk), your boyfriend violating the boundaries of your open relationship rises to the level of “right to know.” This is a major mess, UGHRS, and there’s no way to confront your boyfriend without risking a blowup. So tell him what you know and how you found out. You’ll be in a better position to assess whether you want this relationship to survive after you confess and confront.

As the City of Santa Fe prepares for the Santa Fe University of Art and Design to vacate the campus on St. Michael’s Drive, officials are plotting the next steps for the public property. More than 2,220 people completed an online survey last month, and now Matt Brown, economic development director, is heading up the effort to next meet with design teams about their ideas that incorporate suggested uses from the survey.

What have you heard so far?
The five design teams will share their strategic visions for the property with the public at three events and online. April 12 and 15 are pre-registration events with 100 spots each. ... They’re planned at the Santa Fe Art Institute and the Southside Library, where there will be a representative from each of the five design teams who will facilitate. Those are deeper events. It takes more time, about three and a half hours in the afternoon, but it’s deeper. The event at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center (3-7 pm Friday April 13. Free. 3221 Rodeo Road, 955-4000) is open to as many people as we can handle. ... It would be great if a couple hundred people showed up. How do I get involved? Go to the city’s website for the Midtown Campus Project (santafenm.gov/midtown_campus_project) or call Liz Camacho at 955-6042. We want to have as close to a representation of our community as we can possibly get, including ethnicity, gender, age and what part of town they live in. For the April 12 and 15 discussions, we really want people who live in those communities. Our online feedback option, which starts on April 13 and ends April 18, will take about half an hour.

There are four big ideas. One is expanding the film and emerging media industry and business; and wrapped around that is also entrepreneurship and innovation. Two is higher education: Let’s do a great education component there building off the history of that property, especially four-year and vocational education. And by vocational, people mean everything from traditional blue collar— automotive repair, electrician—to new collar— CNC machines, 3-D printers and fixing those. Also, making Fogelson Library a 21st-century resource for the community. Three is arts and creativity: Expand the Greer Garson Studios and make sure The Screen stays alive; use the amphitheater. The fourth big bucket is workforce housing, but specifically housing that supports the other uses.

balls clacking. A way to have worked in some noise to the show would have been another gift from the script: The upstairs tenant from Daphne’s is a piano player who’s always plinking out a tune. There was often some ambient piano accompaniment (provided handily by Jeff Tarnoff, live, from the sound booth), but I wanted it to be constant. Pregnant pauses, then, often felt like the rest of the dead air; moments that could have provided reflection just kind of faded into the rest of the tame quiet. I wanted more chaos. The lack of actual audible sound played into another tripping point: The CAMERON GAY
et’s play six degrees of separation! Hamilton is the biggest musical probably ever. Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote it. He also wrote 2007’s In The Heights. That show was based on a book by Pulitzer winner Quiara Alegría Hudes. Hudes’ second-to-latest play is Daphne’s Dive. And Teatro Paraguas is the second-ever theater to produce it, after its Off-Broadway debut in 2016. There you go: Six steps from the Santa Fe theater scene to what is probably the most successful theatrical production ever in the universe (Cats doesn’t count). The script for Daphne’s Dive is amazing. I can say that without hesitation. It’s a rending story of the intertwining lives of six bar regulars at a corner Boricua haunt in Philadelphia; the story covers 20-ish years of their lives and interactions, uncovers dark secrets and surprises us a few heartbreaking times. It really is a fantastic piece of writing. But it’s also an ambitious piece, and while Paraguas and many of its regular actors have floored me on numerous occasions, this one missed the mark. I think my hesitation with this production comes down to a single word with multiple applications: Volume. Literally, I don’t think this show was quite loud enough. Actors’ projection was fine, and Paraguas is a small space, but we’ve all been to the kind of bar that this show depicts: all dark wood and sticky floors, all the same regulars with all the same Heinekens. They’re places of din. There’s street noise, there’s TV noise (though, in the script, it does say Daphne’s TV’s speaker is out), there’s people yelling on the street, chairs scraping on the floor, the dishwasher under the bar kicking on every 10 minutes on busy nights. If there’s a pool table, there are
actors’ stakes seemed really low, and conversations that should have been varied and rollercoastery were instead mostly one conversational volume. The lack of variation in tone made intense emotional moments—of which there were a ton!— pack a pat rather than a punch. There is also the question of the portrayal of a deeply rooted Puerto Rican community by actors not of Puerto Rican descent in a region that doesn’t identify in any significant way as Puerto Rican. Unrelated to skin color, it was more a question of inflection, accents and use of conversational Spanish that became stumbling blocks. A few New Mexican accents were thick in this production, and the mindless shift from English to Spanish that makes natural code-switching sound fluid was often absent here. It felt like some actors were consciously searching for the Spanish words that showed up in their written lines. All this being said, the bright spots in this show can be attributed to three standout performances, two of which came from Alix Hudson as Ruby and Cristina Vigil as Jenn. Ruby shows up in the first scene as an abused 11-year-old child, and grows up in the bar and among its flies to become its kid mascot. The progression of the show is based on Ruby’s age (at the start of each scene, Hudson appears and announces her age, as to indicate the passing of time; it starts when she is 11, ends when she is nearly 30). Vigil’s Jenn is a joy to watch—a fiery
radical activist in go-go boots and an American Flag bikini, talking about dancing at the LOVE statue and screaming about politics (her rallying cry is, “Peace! Liberty! Ecology! Democracy!”). Her character’s timeline also serves up what I found to be the most tragic plot point in the show, but I won’t spoil it. Hudson, too, is a competent and comfortable Ruby, though I do wonder why director Sheryl Bailey had her play every age; Hudson can present as young, so she pulled off 15-and-older Ruby, but finding an actual 11-year-old for the youngest iteration may have made more of an impact. The chemistry between Hudson and Vigil is really nice—Ruby even says it herself: “You’re the only one who doesn’t walk on eggshells around me.” Vigil might even be the only one in the show who doesn’t walk on eggshells at all, stomping happily in platform heels instead. The two play almost like sisters throughout, and have the most natural and nuanced delivery. Another notable portrayal was Roxanne Tapia as Inez, Daphne’s wears-stilettos-and-has-perfect-hair-but-couldstill-beat-you-up sister. However, both Inez and Daphne (played by Julia Gay) were actually a little too likeable—so, when they came out with some seriously problematic and downright messed-up views and character developments, I had a lot more trouble rolling with it. They seemed pretty cool to me, until suddenly they said something crazy (that ol’ showdon’t-tell argument). More dynamism between the good and bad within each of them would have really aided my understanding of their complicated relationships with themselves, their pasts and their family. All in all, Daphne’s Dive as a show may be one of my favorite scripts I’ve seen performed in recent memory. The story is intense but often light, full of both laughter and visceral pain. Paraguas, a true gem in our theater community, tried really hard. But this one may have been too large an undertaking. DAPHNE’S DIVE 7:30 pm Thursday-Saturday April 12-14; 4 pm Sunday April 15. Through April 22. $12-$20. Teatro Paraguas, 3205 Calle Marie, 424-1601
Cristina Vigil as Jenn and Alix Hudson as Ruby (plus great streetlamp-esque lighting from Jeff Tarnoff) are a couple bright spots in a production that otherwise often struggled.

From smoked beers to hot rocks, here are the hidden gems of the Santa Fe bar menu scene BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
A
good bar menu is a tricky balancing act. It has to be quick, easy and representative of the concept of a restaurant as a whole. It also has to appeal to a drinking crowd that likes to eat on the move. Tired of the same old watering holes? Here’s what really stands out.
Chili Line Brewing Co. 204 N Guadalupe St., 982-8474 2-10 pm daily, with food available 4-10 pm
This self-described “smallest brewery in New Mexico” tends to fly under the radar, which is a shame because its beers are much different than the usual fare. Head brewer Alexander Pertusini has been making beer for 11 years, but when he took a trip to Bamberg, Germany, the birthplace of smoked beers, he found his inspiration. “It was something that no one else was doing, and these breweries had been making beer this way for thousands of years,” Pertusini tells SFR. “Once people taste it, they can tell we have the most wellbalanced smoked beers, made in that Bamberg style.” This style of beer incorporates malts that have been dried over a wood fire, imparting earthy aromas in the process, and Pertusini still sources his malts from Bamberg. Chili Line boasts nine flagship smoked beers, all $5 a pint. Try the Gotlandsdricka, a traditional smoked German beer flavored with juniper berries, which gives it an almost gin-like edge. Located right next to Pertusini’s father Lino’s joint, Pizzeria and Tratto-

ria da Lino, you can get thin-crust pizzas brought over to the brewery ($10 to $15), and the in-house menu also features an impressive pretzel for $8 and wings for $7. Still, there’s something especially satisfying about the piping-hot pizza paired with the woodsy flavors of the smoked libations.
Desert Dogs Brewery and Cidery Taproom Plaza Mercado, 112 W San Francisco St., Ste. 307, 983-0134 3-10 pm daily
Despite the downtown location, Desert Dogs feels almost like a speakeasy in terms of how difficult it is to find. Up a narrow stairway off San Francisco street, the relatively new spot is the result of a creative collaboration between New Mexico Hard Cider’s Craig Moya and Sam Boese of Boese Brothers Brewery in Albuquerque. I counted 21 taps last time I visited, and pours come in 5 ounces for $3, 9 ounces for $6 or $7, 16-ounce pints for the listed price and flights for $12. Most are Desert Dogs’ own creations, but there are plenty of pours from Boese Brothers, including the delicious Double Dead Red. Taos Mesa Brewing and New Mexico Hard Cider also have a few offerings on tap. The menu is simple but satisfying, with baskets of fries ranging from $3.50 to $7 and sandwiches, like a classic burger, a turkey or cheese steak and a veggie option with calabacitas and green chile from $7 to $10, taking up equal space alongside New Mexican staples (think Frito pie and chimichangas) for $6 each. Try the chimichanga with a pint of Desert Dogs’ blackberry cider for an indulgent
treat with a spicy kick. Santa Fe doesn’t have much in the way of snacks under $10. Thankfully there’s now this option, freeing up some cash for tasting multiple ciders in one sitting.
Paloma 401 S Guadalupe St., 467-8624 5-9 pm Monday-Thursday; 5-10 pm Friday and Saturday; 11 am-4 pm Sunday
Paloma features gorgeous décor, tasty food and drinks ranging from $5 beers to $18 cocktails. I tried the delightfully refreshing 1414 Marigold Margarita ($18), made with reposado tequila, elderflower liqueur and fresh lime. Balanced between tart and sweet, it was topped with a marigold petal and sugar rim. Then I followed with tasty little bites of cauliflower sopecitos ($12). Encouraged by the positive response, Paloma is soon unveiling an updated summer menu, with a new patio space and extended hours from 5 pm-midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, starting with a kickoff party on Saturday May 5. The bar menu, which features single tacos and other small bites, is always available. “People need to have a little something while they’re drinking,” owner
Marja Claire Martin says. “The bar menu is a nice little bookend to our regular service and dining focus.”
Sazón 221 Shelby St., 983-8604 4-8:30 pm Monday-Saturday
Sazón’s bar is lovely, all Saltillo tiles and worn wood interiors lined with tantalizing bottles of tequila and mezcal. It also boasts a highly unique bar menu. For example, there are the Oaxaqueños (grasshopper tacos) for $16, and the Xuchimilco (a corn truffle) for $15. A couple Tuesdays ago there were six moles available as a bar snack, served with small, soft tortillas for dipping, and ranging in flavor from apricot to chocolate to beet. I followed these up with the antojitos sobre rocas for $17, which involves raw meat or fish cooked on the spot by a hot stone. Bar manager Amanda Morris sums up the ethos of Sazón perfectly: “We’re not New Mexican, per se. We’re definitely old Mexico,” she says. “We try to highlight the diversity of Mexico, of the moles, the mezcals and the tequilas.” It’s a welcome break from the endless parade of forgettable bar snacks in Santa Fe. More like this, please.

Ramen Heads Review Slurp-tastic
10 9
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Everyone seems to have at least a passing fancy with the food culture of Japan, a love of sushi or a favorite piece within the tempura melange (we like the sweet potato). But when it comes to ramen, the West may not have developed as deep an appreciation or understanding for those unassuming shops spread throughout the country as we should have. The documentary Ramen Heads from newbie director Koki Shigeno aims to fix this, or at least give us a little more information than we may have had before. Foodies, rejoice. For the bulk of the film, we follow Osamu Tomita, one of Japan’s most beloved and laserfocused chefs, a multiple-award winner who rose from a shiftless youth to that of ramen master. Tomita’s shop is tiny, a mere 10 seats, but between his prep kitchen and army of apprentices—whom we learn he doesn’t teach so much as he allows them to steal his methods—we learn why customers line up as early as 6 am for lunch: Tomita is a genius. Part of the allure comes from the more democratic accessibility of ramen. As Tomita says, any $100 meal is bound to be pretty good, but

how can you present the same quality for merely $8? The answer lies someplace between his expertly cooked meats, delicious-looking marinated eggs, his unorthodox broths and his house-made noodles, which change flour types based on the seasons and come a little longer than usual to, as Tomita puts it, up the “slurpability.” Elsewhere, we get brief glimpses into a bustling night market with a chef who estimates nearly 1,600 bowls served on peak days, a miso-loving lady chef (apparently a rarity in the ramen world) who has developed her own personal broth over a decade, and the titular ramen head customers ever in search of the best bowls.
Not since Jiro Dreams of Sushi has a documentary about Japanese food—or food in general—so lovingly and tantalizingly invited outsiders into the closely-guarded secrets of master chefs, nor have we ever been so hungry watching a movie. If nothing else, a particular respect for ramen emerges from the fray, forever changing our idea of the painstaking work involved and its importance in the culinary world.

+ CLEVER IDEA; BLUNT AND
KRASINSKI SURPRISINGLY RIVETING
- “OH, C’MON!” MOMENTS
John Krasinski dons his writer, director and actor caps for A Quiet Place, a sort of hybrid horror/sci-fi flick set in post-apocalyptia that finds a man and his family forced into constant silence to stay alive. Mysterious creatures have appeared in Farmland, USA, and seeing as they’re blind, they navigate and hunt by sound—kind of like bats, only not adorable. Krasinski’s clan thus adopts a million neat survival tricks to stay ahead of the game. It’s a simple but smart idea, from the clever pathways laid with sand to the series of color-changing lightbulbs strung up around the farm to soundlessly warn of imminent danger. Krasinski plumbs surprisingly moving emotional depths as a father facing loss who must also prepare his kids for the new world order. Ditto for Emily Blunt, also his real-world wife, who conveys terror sans dialogue in very meaningful and downright stressful ways. The children (Noah Jupe, Suburbicon, and Millicent Simmonds, Wonderstruck) are another story altogether, both in terms of the hammy expressions they lean into and the annoying plot lines with which they’re saddled.

Jupe is fine as the token “I’m a-scared!” kid, but Simmonds is particularly bothersome as a melodramatic pre-teen who is deaf (handy, though, since the entire family knows sign language because of it) and definitely blames herself for the film’s harrowing opening sequence. While believable that a young

of A Quiet Place—a spookily designed monstrosity that harks back to creature-feature horror while asserting its own identity, even if it does owe a debt of gratitude to movie monsters from classics like Alien and Predator. Krasinski and company must be commended for keeping the monster under wraps in the trailers, and trust us—it’s definitely scary. Still, the ultimate resolution isn’t quite as satisfying as it could be, and the no-sound shtick comes perilously close to outstaying its welcome, even if it is relatively inventive. As far as simple, atmospheric horror goes, though, you could do a hell of a lot worse than A Quiet Place. Just be prepared for them jump-scares. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 90 min. ISLE OF DOGS

Wes Anderson’s shtick can come across as cutesy or far too awash in pastel precociousness. However, his stop-motion features—such as 2009’s Fantastic Mr. Fox—don’t succumb to this problem, at least not in the same ways. Cue Isle of Dogs, Anderson’s newest animated effort and one of the most clever and entertaining films of the year. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

In the not-too-distant future, the Japanese city of Megasaki is overrun with dog flu, an affliction that has made its way to the vast majority of canines, which results in the mayor decreeing every last one be sent to Trash Island, an offshore trash dumping ground otherwise lost to natural disasters. Most of the city’s denizens have been brainwashed by propaganda, save the idealistic students of a local high school’s newspaper and the mayor’s young nephew Atari (Koyu Rankin), who sets off in search of his own dog Spots who was marooned on the island some months ago. There, formerly domesticated dogs, show dogs, stray dogs and mutts eke out a bleak existence, fighting over trash scraps and contaminated water, all while pining for their former lives and loves. Favorite meals are remembered, cushy living situations are recounted and the desperately formed packs observe primitive democracies, unable to choose a singular alpha. Perhaps the greatest moment of Isle of Dogs comes with the realization that the dogs are far more human than those who’ve placed them on Trash Island. Stellar voice work from Ed Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Murray and Bob Balaban truly sells the concept, but Bryan Cranston as Chief is untouchable. Cranston’s ability to sell proud-yetbroken with just his voice speaks volumes about his acting skills, though the design of the dogs is also brilliant, right down to the way their fur blows in the wind. Trash Island itself is smartly designed, conveying utter loneliness despite a population that consistently reveals itself across varying locales such as an abandoned amusement park, an overgrown golf course and the barren coast. Only the dogs speak English and, other than a few scenes with interpreters, the Japanese dialogue is not subtitled. This is a genius move, as we can use context to derive meaning without being led by the hand and it preserves the dogs as the story’s true heroes. We fall in love with Cranston’s Chief and root tirelessly for Atari, all while culturally impactful and tactfully represented moments highlight Japan’s art, food and daily life with subtlety and grace. It might be too soon to say this is the best film of the year, but Isle of Dogs is a strong contender and should not be missed under any circumstances. (ADV) Violet Crown, PG-13, 111 min.

+ LOOKS SOOOO COOL; EXCITING - WHY THEY GOTTA PIGEON-HOLE NERDS LIKE THAT?!
For nerds, it’s going to be hard to not feel personally attacked, capitalized upon or made fun of by the next-level pandering at play in Spielberg’s Ready Player One, adapted from the
Isle of Dogs: Woah. We just realized you can also say it like “I love dogs.” Oh, dip!
Ernest Cline novel of the same name. Somehow, though, among the literally countless Easter eggs and cutesy reminders of the nerd properties loved by children and (as the film beats us over the head with) supposedly stunted adults, lies one of the finest uses of CGI in modern film bogged down by a simplistic paint-by-numbers story about how love was the real treasure the whole time. In futuristic Ohio—which is somehow the most advanced place on the planet— young Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan, X-Men Apocalypse) lives out his Charlie Bucket-esque existence by escaping into the OASIS, a bonkers virtual reality world created by a couple of nerds who are, respectively, dead and missing. One such nerd (the dead one) announced there was a secret game within the game upon his death, the winner of which would take over the OASIS and be so totally super-rich it’s nuts. Thus, Wade—who goes by Parzival online—and the other Gunters (a term that sounds filthy as fuck, but simply applies to Easter egg hunters and players of said secret game) spend their
days searching for clues. Of course, over the years since the creator’s death, no one has found anything—until now, when everybody starts finding everything all the damn time, thrusting Wade into a shadow war with the IOI, a shady company that wants control of the OASIS for itself. The rest plays out like a combination of Willy Wonka and a fashion nerd’s wet dream as licensing from dozens of gaming, film, music and toy properties pops up everywhere. At all times. Relentlessly. Sheridan is A-OK as the young Wade though, since we mostly spend time with his anime-like avatar, we never really get a feel for him. Same goes for the clan (a gaming term; Google it) he reluctantly joins, which includes flat performances from no-name kids and Master of None star/scribe Lena Waithe. No matter, though, since their dialogue is generally a bunch of pap about how hard their lives have been and/or references to nerd stuff. Wade’s love interest, Art3mis (Olivia Cooke, Bates Motel), is just fine as well, though we’ll hand it to her for being a mostly strong character with clear-cut motivations of her own … y’know, outside of Wade. Yes, Ready Player One looks incredible, and yes, those of a certain age will feel that pang of nostalgia when they see characters from Gundam, Godzilla, Halo, Overwatch or The Iron Giant doing crazy crap to hit songs of the 1980s while toys like Madballs or things like Monty Python’s Holy Hand Grenade pop up. But when certain nerds are diluted into clumsy-with-women, gaming-obsessed and antisocial weirdos who shit on their friends for having dared to miss out on any pop culture reference whatsoever, one can’t help but feel Cline, and by extension, Spielberg, have a fairly narrow, mainstream view of the culture. Methinks Cline wanted to convey Wade (or himself) heroically, when he’s really just onedimensional at best. Ah well, at least they gave one character a gun from Gears of War without making a big-ass deal out of it. And it’s pretty. The end. (ADV) Jean Cocteau Cinema, Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 140 min. THE DEATH OF STAILIN

+ IANNUCCI IS A GENIUS - SOME BITS CAN LAG
Veep creator Armando Iannucci has certainly proven his affinity for dark and savvy political humor, but whereas his HBO program does occasionally provide redemptive moments for its seemingly heartless characters, his new feature film, The Death of Stalin—which may just be one
of the darkest comedies ever made—doesn’t even bother. We join the top brass of Russia circa 1953, a time when comrade Stalin’s lust for power made him paranoid and kill lists were the nightly norm. Here, his top men work hard at assuaging the man, staying up too late watching cowboy movies and enlisting their wives as sounding boards for what drunken banter plays well with their fearful leader. But when Stalin takes ill and the likes of Kruschev (Steve Buscemi), Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor) and Beria (Simon Russell Beale) enter a power vacuum, hilarity and all hell break loose, making for some of the most cringe-worthy and excellently funny writing we’ve ever seen. Stalin ultimately proves a wild and capable farce, with powerful and self-absorbed yet pitiful and ridiculous men each attempting to grasp power before their colleagues. An early sequence that finds various Russian ministers forced to admit they’ve either imprisoned or killed their country’s best doctors, thereby making suitable aid for Stalin impossible, is particularly hysterical as each flounders to justify the absurd shape of things. Buscemi shines particularly in these moments, a bit of a toad whose story we all (of course) know, but a terrified boob grasping for self-preservation. Tambor wows as well, taking a more idiotic yet soft tack as Stalin’s deputy who maybe just wanted to fly under the radar but obviously can’t anymore. And the madness grows and twists until we hate pretty much everyone even as we might understand how they created such dire straits for themselves. All the while, Iannucci’s keen sensibilities throttle the movie forward, rarely taking a beat and relentlessly bringing the laughs. Will you feel guilty for some of the things you find funny? Absolutely. But so enjoyably you won’t much care. Do not miss this movie. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts Violet Crown, R, 107 min.

POSSIBLY TOO MUCH GLITTER
Madeleine L’Engle’s 1962 children’s novel, A Wrinkle in Time, was rejected by more than 25 publishers before becoming an award-winning classic story about quantum physics, the danger of conformity and the power of love. Though geared at young readers, the story’s nuanced mesh of science, female heroism and, yes, Christian ideology nudged its appeal to adults as well. The story’s protagonist, 13-year-old Meg Murry (Storm Reid, 12 Years a Slave), is an angry outcast suffering from the loss of her father (Chris Pine of Star Trek fame), a scientist who, along with his fellow scientist wife (Beauty and the Beast’s Gugu Mbatha-Raw), has learned to

Ready Player One: This dude literally gets a suit that lets him feel the touch of other gamers. In-game. The weirdest part is that you know someone’s working on that in real life, too.
1:20, 4:10, 7:00 “wrinkle” time and travel the universe and has been captured by the pervasive evil that seeks to turn all beings away from the light. Meg, her prodigy little brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) and new friend Calvin O’Keefe (Levi Miller, Pan) set out to rescue him. Director Ava DuVernay’s adaptation falls unsurprisingly short in capturing the nuance of L’Engle’s novel, relying frequently on baffling amounts of glitter and eyeshadow to convey magic and angry trees to connote evil. The trio of magical beings, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which (Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling and Oprah Winfrey, respectively) appear here with particular Disney theme-park camp, although Winfrey’s bone-deep ability to convey empathy makes for some of the film’s most touching moments. That empathy is primarily directed to Meg, played by Reid with hints of the fierceness and nuance that emblematized the original book. The young characters’ rescue mission takes them to Camazotz, a place where evil, fear and conformity have enslaved inhabitants. The film’s greatest adaptive decision was its diverse casting, which reinforces L’Engle’s original message about the importance of individual spirit and experience in the fight between good and evil. (Julia Goldberg) Violet Crown, Regal, PG, 109 minutes
and we’re really getting somewhere. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, Black Panther is a complete triumph. The costuming and hair, the production design and, frankly, the hot-as-fire score and soundtrack (thanks for the hit jams, Kendrick Lamar!) are all glorious. Where it falters, however, is in its attempts at a deep story. At the very edges of the action lies surface information about colonization and racism, but we never dive deep enough into these concepts in any meaningful way. Rather, they’re mentioned briefly between kickass fight scenes which, yes, are kickass, but how refreshing and potentially valuable it might be to see a comic book film dissect something real. Still, the requisite explosions and shaky morality plays are there, along with the always-fantastic character actor Andy Serkis. Perhaps director-writer Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station) is simply dipping his toes into the concept of a heavier (or more grounded) direction, and we really hope he gets there with a sequel. For now, though, Black Panther is still a gorgeous film and the most culturally significant Marvel outing to date—that’s something all on its own. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 134 min.

+ CULTURALLY IMPACTFUL; BADASS
WOMEN - HEAVIER STUFF LOST IN THE NOISE
Someplace between the joyous celebration of all things African culture and the tremendous principal cast of all black actors in Black Panther lies a fairly run-of-the-mill comic book movie narrative, but it almost seems at this point that if we’re hitting any Marvel Studios movie in search of the non-formulaic, we’re going to be sorely disappointed. We enter the fictional African nation of Wakanda as its prince, the mighty T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman, 42), is set to take the throne following his father’s murder (which you may have seen in Captain America: Civil War). For hundreds of years Wakanda has thrived thanks to the also-fictional vibranium, a metal so precious and powerful that it can make any far-fetched sci-fi dreams come true; a metal that just so happens to exist only there. Up until now, pretty much no outsiders have entered Wakanda, but when a mysterious former US soldier (Michael B Jordan, Creed) starts poking around and trying to find his way in for nefarious reasons, T’Challa must confront heavy truths about his country, his people and the heartbreaking past of African Americans. Fill things out with utterly badass women like Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Okoye (Danai Gurira),

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of April 11th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries statesman Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States. He wrote one of history’s most famous documents, the Declaration of Independence. He was an architect, violinist, inventor, and linguist who spoke numerous languages, as well as a philosopher who was knowledgeable about mathematics, surveying, and horticulture. But his most laudable success came in 1789, when he procured the French recipe for macaroni and cheese while living in France, and thereafter introduced the dish into American cuisine. JUST KIDDING! I’m making this little joke in the hope that it will encourage you to keep people focused on your most important qualities, and not get distracted by less essential parts of you.
and your treasure. So why not treat them like angels or celebrities or celebrity angels? Buy them ice cream and concert tickets and fun surprises. Tell them secrets about their beauty that no one has ever expressed before. Listen to them in ways that will awaken their dormant potentials. I bet that what you receive in return will inspire you to be a better ally to yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming weeks, I suspect you will be able to find what you need in places that are seemingly devoid of what you need. You can locate the possible in the midst of what’s apparently impossible. I further surmise that you will summon a rebellious resourcefulness akin to that of Scorpio writer Albert Camus, who said, “In the midst of hate, I found TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the early 1990s, there was, within me, an invincible love.

In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an Their goal was to find exploding mini-black holes in invincible calm. No matter how hard the world pushes the distant voids of outer space.

Many years later, he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discoveries about the role of boron in journalist Clark Kent have a secret identity as the organic chemistry.

You have a mandate to go further, deeper, and now have the power to change stale patterns that braver as you break out of shrunken expectations and have previously been resistant to change. push beyond comfortable limitations. The unknown is still more inviting and fertile than you can imagine. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Between December 5 and 9, 1952, London was beset with heavy fog blended with thick smog. Visibility was low. Traffic slowed and events were postponed. In a few places, people couldn’t see their own feet. According to some reports, blind people, who had a facility for moving around without the aid of sight, assisted pedestrians in making their way through the streets. I suspect that a metaphorically comparable phenomenon may soon arise in your sphere, Virgo. Qualities that might customarily be regarded as liabilities could at least temporarily become assets.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): May I suggest that you get a lesson in holy gluttony from a Taurus? Or perhaps pick up some pointers in enlightened self-interest from a Scorpio? New potential resources are available, but you haven’t reeled them in with sufficient alacrity. Why? Why oh why oh why?! Maybe you should ask yourself whether you’re asking enough. Maybe you should give yourself permission to beam with majestic self-confidence. Picture this: Your posture is regal, your voice is authoritative, your sovereignty is radiant. You have identified precisely what it is you need and want, and you have formulated a pragmatic plan to get it.
