But others have been questionably more for the benefit of developers. And as the sprawl continues, seemingly unfettered, at what point do we stop, and as a community, take a hard look at what we want Santa Fe to be going forward? Do we want to follow the examples of Phoenix or LA, expanding the city southward, adding more traffic, air and light pollution? Traffic is now noticeably worse.

Recent letters criticizing the Aug. 21 flamenco cover story are well-intentioned but miss the point. The article never claims to be a Who’s Who of the local flamenco scene. Morgan Smith is a knowledgable and passionate supporter of Santa Fe’s flamenco community. His photo portfolio shines attention on its lesser known emerging talent. (Morgan has always been an avid fan of “La Emi.” We all love her.)

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

‘Keep the lights on in our newsroom and in the dark corners of business and government’ picked New Mexico as a place to live more than 17 years ago.

Since then, my commitment to remaining here has strengthened by degrees—some large, others small. But journalistically, I’ve lived all over since I parked my broken-down, old Pontiac across the street from UNM, grateful it had survived the trek down from Colorado.

I spent a decade as the cops, courts and justice reporter for the state’s largest daily newspaper, the Albuquerque Journal. I left with a mortgage, a dog who’s quick to tooth and the claw when he misses a meal and no job prospects. My first assignment in 2013 as I struggled to concoct a freelance hustle came from none other than the newspaper you’re reading now. SFR’s brilliant but somewhat deranged editor somehow allowed me to hammer out a cover story about vaping. (You should go back and read it—sucker was somewhat prescient given what we’re learning now!)

I bounced around in TV for a bit after that, then went to work for a nonprofit news organization I’m still proud to call home. But I have a second home, and I ain’t leaving till they toss me out with a trebuchet.

I love this newspaper with my whole, black little heart.

Thinking back to that first cover story, I never forgot that SFR gave me 3,000 words to explore a complicated topic that mattered to readers.

I’d never been afforded an opportunity like that before. And in case you didn’t know, this, my second journalism home, remains the only news source in the state that publishes big heaves like that; and we do it every week.

Be it a rich, colorful arts feature, a beautiful photo contest, essential elections coverage or a deep-dive that exposes and seeks to right some wrongs the powerful elites have visited upon those with no political cache, we are committed to longform journalism whose primary goal is to serve the interests of you, our readers.

We’ve been doing this since 1974, the year I was born. And we punch way above our weight.

Those of you familiar with my work know I’m not in this to make friends. But I’m here asking you to be a Friend of the Reporter.

The work we do here—especially those long-term, soul-sucking excavations of scumbaggery or beauty—costs money. And in case you’ve been living under the Plaza the past decade or so, times are tight at SFR and in the news business more broadly.

This new program is one of the ways we’re using to keep the lights on, both in our newsroom and in the dark corners of business and government where the trouble festers. We hope you’ll agree that this is worthwhile, and that you’ll show it by becoming a Friend of the Reporter.

Santa Fe Community College high-school equivalency programs aim to address an urgent need: Increase the literacy and employability of Santa Feans like Jesús, below, now a nursing assistant.

A Hand Up SFCC fights state’s abysmal graduation, literacy rates with back-to-school programs

J

esús came to Santa Fe from Chihuahua, Mexico almost exactly two years ago. For most of his 23 years, he has worked in construction—but being a single dad to his toddler inspired him to reach for more in his education and career.

Without a high school degree, his options were limited, until he decided to take both high school equivalency (HSE) and trade classes offered at the Santa Fe Community College this year.

“I have done construction for all my younger years,” Jesús, who asked that we not use his last name, tells SFR. “I’m 23 and I have a 3-year-old that really deserves the best. … This is the way to do it.”

SFCC’s high school equivalency classes are offered in English or Spanish; students can enroll while they work on a college certificate in health care, called the Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training Program (I-BEST).

The programs aim to address an urgent need: Increase the literacy and employability of Santa Feans, as New Mexico’s high school graduation and literacy rates continue to drag along well below the national average.

I-BEST also offers classes to prepare for careers as a certified phlebotomist, community health worker, home health aide, patient care assist or early childhood education specialist. They can be completed in one to three semesters and can be taken while students are in high

school equivalency programs.

That’s the path Jesús took. He finished his Certified Nursing Assistant classes over the summer, passed the state test, and he’s already working at the Santa Fe Care Center as a nursing assistant. He’s done with construction for the foreseeable future and is still looking forward to what’s possible. His goal is to become a registered nurse and eventually a pediatric practitioner.

There are several common reasons people decide to go back to get their high school equivalency and as many ways to complete it. Students can either take the General Educational Development Test, commonly known as the GED, or earn their High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED), an alternative to the GED. “Many of them have children and they want to be a good role model or to help their children with their homework and they don’t know how to do it themselves,” says Ed Ashmead, a program specialist and instructor for the English classes at the college. “Getting a job is a really big one.”

The reasons why people don’t have their high school diploma are just as varied and unique to the individual. Some are immigrants; others had to leave school to work.

“Sometimes it’s pregnancy KATHERINE LEWIN

B Y K AT H E R I N E L E W I N k a t h e r i n e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

or they just don’t like school. Or they got booted out of school. Some of them are emancipated at a very young age,” Ashmead says.

That’s the case with Maria Dozier.

Originally from Las Cruces, she became pregnant in high school and wasn’t able to graduate. Decades later, she has returned to school at SFCC to get her high school equivalency and earn a certificate in early childhood education through the I-BEST program.

“My family was dirt poor, very little education,” Dozier tells SFR. “I got pregnant my senior year and it wasn’t accepted back then. I ended up dropping out because I got kicked out of the house and ended up getting a job at Burger King.”

Dozier has now passed the high school equivalency test and after finishing her certification, hopes to get her bachelor’s degree at the University of New Mexico.

Ashmead believes that the HSE, English as a Second Language and trade programs are an important part of the Santa Fe County and New Mexico economies, as well as the community overall.

Despite recent increases in four-year high school graduation rates, New Mexico still lags behind the national average, which was 84.6% in 2017.

According to the New Mexico Public Education Department, between May 2017 and May 2018, Santa Fe High School’s four-year graduation rate was 75.3% and Capital High School’s rate was 72.6%.

Literacy in New Mexico is also low.

According to the New Mexico Coalition for Literacy, 20% of New Mexicans age 16 and older have literacy skills at level 1, the lowest on a scale of 1 to 5. Individuals at level 1, for example, have difficulty locating simple information in a news article or applying basic math to determine the total on a sales receipt.

SFCC’s programs are putting a small but steady dent in the low high school graduation and literacy rates in New Mexico. In academic year 2017-2018 Adult Continuing Education (ACE) programs served 563 students total and 60 I-BEST students.

In academic year 2018-2019, ACE served 441 students and 55 I-BEST students. The ESL program alone serves about 400 students each semester.

Enrollment has dropped “significantly” because of the strong economy, says Kristen Krell, manager of the Academic Career Education Department at SFCC. “That’s the case across the state and country for school in general,” Krell says. “When the economy is strong, enrollment in community college is down because people have jobs.”

io Rancho resident Jeremiah Harmon says he applied to volunteer for Meow Wolf in 2015 as the art and entertainment organization’s massive and popular space was being developed because it didn’t seem like a standard job.

He’d spent a few years as a stay-athome dad. The position seemed exciting as a way to re-enter the workforce gradually. But it was also something new and unlike anything he’d ever done. He believed in the mission.

After a few weeks of volunteering, Harmon says he was offered a paid job that came with promises of future, higher-paying employment once Meow Wolf opened in Midtown Santa Fe. He was given a staff badge, hours on the so-called Cave Team—which built the actual cave portion of the House of Eternal Return installation—and a $300 stipend every two weeks.

Harmon was even included in the Meow Wolf trading cards sold in the gift shop.

But when the corporation officially opened its doors in 2016, the job offer never came. In May of 2018, he asked

NEWS

state officials for help. A year later, Meow Wolf announced it would raise its base wage to $17 an hour for most employees. Harmon was reassessing how he was treated and whether he was paid fairly during his time working for the company.

He decided this summer to take his complaint to the City of Santa Fe. In July, Assistant City Attorney Gabriel Smith sent a letter to Meow Wolf’s counsel, the Bennett Law Group LLC, ordering the company to pay Harmon $17,534.95 within 20 days.

“Upon review of the materials provided, a preponderance of the evidence shows that Meow Wolf is in violation of the Santa Fe Living Wage Ordinance,” Smith’s letter reads, in part.

Harmon says his duties were often unclear and he routinely worked overtime hours. Further, he says, he was led to believe he was ineligible for Santa Fe’s “living wage” as he was technically codified as an independent contractor.

City code disagrees. It states that contract workers must be paid the living wage, currently $11.80, but between $10.84 and $10.91 during Harmon’s employment at Meow Wolf.

The saga doesn’t end there.

In another document obtained

by SFR, Meow Wolf’s counsel at first agreed to pay the outstanding wages if Harmon released it from “all and any liability of whatsoever nature and howsoever arising out of and/or in relation to the claims.”

Harmon balked at that deal, and city spokeswoman Lilia Chacon writes SFR in an email that “Meow Wolf does not really have the right to require the claimant to sign anything absolving them from liability.”

After SFR began interviews for this story, the city told Harmon that Meow Wolf had agreed to deliver a check with no strings attached.

“Meow Wolf has withdrawn the ‘request’ to sign that agreement, and has indeed cut a check which will be available for pick up from the city,” Chacon confirms.

Meow Wolf CEO Vince Kadlubek tells SFR he’s unable to comment on the matter.

Harmon’s wage theft claim with the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions is still pending.

Employment-related litigation is becoming more common for Meow Wolf. In July, two women filed a lawsuit in Santa Fe’s First Judicial District Court alleging a common practice of discrimination and gender bias within the company’s corporate culture.

From LEAD to Thrive Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion program changes name and leading agency

BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

S

Police officers haven’t made any new referrals in almost a year in anticipation of losing private funding this past July.

Though LEAD has already secured both state and city funds for its continuation, that money can’t be put into action and officers won’t begin making new referrals until the transition to Fire Department leadership is complete—a goal tentatively pegged for the end of October.

The first five years of the program were partially funded by the Open Society Foundation, an organization that supports government accountability projects internationally, Moeller tells SFR. During this time the city paid for case management from the local organization The Life Link, says Moeller, but the long-term goal has always been to have the program fully transition to public funding.

The program received $250,000 from the state Legislature for the coming year and is budgeted for another $230,000 in recurring funds from the city for the transition.

LEAD has demonstrated success in lowering the arrest and overdose rates of participants since it started but has diverted just 179 individuals since starting in 2014.

At a meeting of the Municipal Drug Strategy Task Force last week, Deputy Police Chief Ben Valdez and Lt. Michele Williams joined Andres Mercado, mobile integrated health officer for the Santa Fe Fire Department, to explain how the changes will help the program widen its scope.

anta Fe’s Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion Program, commonly known by the acronym LEAD, is facing growing pains as it transitions from a pilot program partially funded through private dollars to a publicly-funded mainstay of Santa Fe’s public safety services.

Upcoming changes include putting management of the program under the Santa Fe Fire Department’s Mobile Integrated Health Office (MIHO) and changing the name from LEAD to Thrive. Police hope the new name and the larger partnership with emergency medical services will help build confidence in the program both among people receiving the services and among officers.

LEAD Program Manager Shelly Moeller says the transition is good news.

“These changes are going to improve the sustainability of the program because now it’s really internal to the city. It also fits really nicely into the other work that the Mobile Integrated Health Office is doing,” says Moeller. “They already provide intensive case management to people who have experienced an opioid overdose … and that’s essentially what a LEAD case manager does as well.”

But as the details get ironed out, LEAD hangs in ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN limbo.

LEAD began with a single police unit.

Valdez and the handful of detectives who were part of the unit were the only officers trained to divert non-violent offenders with chronic substance abuse problems toward behavioral health services rather than toward the courts and the jail.

Now the Police Department is working to educate all of its officers to identify when an individual would be best served by diversion to behavioral health services. Valdez says this strategy should save police and the district attorney’s office time and resources down the line by keeping some individuals out of the revolving doors of the system.

Police officers will refer individuals

Can we get it to that point where they are thriving, they are not dying? Let’s start with that.

-Lt. Michele Williams, SFPD

NEWS

directly to the Fire Department, which will send in EMTs and manage the case from there, said Valdez, though he told SFR later that the two departments are “still working on a protocol about what that will look like.”

In terms of the name change, Williams said police received feedback from the DA that many potential participants held negative associations with the idea of “giving the cops a lead,” assuming that LEAD was a confidential informant program.

By changing from LEAD to Thrive, the department hopes to create a clearer medical association with the program.

“Is the person staying alive to receive treatment? Can we get it to that point where they are thriving, they are not dying? Let’s start with that,” Williams said, noting that the clarification is as much for the benefit of the officers as for those they serve.

These changes come at a time when the city’s governing body is considering a systemwide shift in its approach to substance use from criminalization to harm reduction and prevention. Behavioral healthcare needs are at the root of almost half of all 911 calls that police officers and EMT’s respond to, and the departments are ill-equipped to meet those needs.

Yet, both departments have encountered internal resistance to these changes, partly because many police officers and firefighters have had a hard time embracing a role that sometimes looks more like that of a social worker than a crime-busting, flame-quenching hero.

“In years past you had a group of officers who were LEAD officers and they had all the institutional knowledge on how the program worked, and then you had some people in the organization that would say, ‘Well you know what, just arrest them … Why are we doing this? It’s not our job,’” Valdez said Wednesday, talking about the resistance he has encountered from officers who haven’t always seen harm-reduction as part of their job description. “But I think that today it is our job.

We are out there to protect and serve the community and so to do that service, that’s where it comes in that we are serving the community by utilizing that kind of program.”

Democrats have cut the field in half.

Who’s left to give Donald Trump a run for his money?

JONATHAN HILL

Elimination Round

T

he culling has begun. Jay Inslee is out. So are Kirsten Gillibrand, Mike Gravel and John

Hickenlooper.

And the next debate for the 2020 Democratic presidential primary is one night only. Making Thursday night’s debate meant both racking up over 130,000 individual donors and getting 2% support in at least four qualifying polls. That means you won’t see Tom Steyer, Tulsi Gabbard or Marianne Williamson on the debate stage.

Under the shadow of Donald Trump’s presidency, plenty of Democrats feel that absolutely nothing is more important than winning the election. If you thought Trump’s done damage now, they say, what could he do with four more years of tweets, tariffs and Supreme Court picks?

Nothing, these Democrats argue, is more important than picking someone who’s “electable.”

And yet, at the same time, Trump’s election has made the very notion of “electability” seem like a farce. Trump got elected. We’re clearly living in a magical realist age of the absurd and fantastical.

Anything is possible.

Maybe electability isn’t about

being boring, moderate and middle of the road. Maybe the voters aren’t looking for another dull technocrat. After all, nobody wants to end up as the Democratic version of Jeb. And so suddenly a lot of the Democratic candidates aren’t afraid of being called liberal—or even “socialist.”

Back in 2008, Barack Obama wasn’t even willing to endorse gay marriage. But today? You have Democrats calling for the government to provide reparations for slavery. Candidates aren’t just talking about universal health care—they’re talking about canceling college debt and expanding the Supreme Court.

There are candidates for Obama liberals who listen to the Pod Save America podcast, candidates for the crass dirtbag leftists who listen to the Chapo Trap House podcast and even, chillingly, candidates for the Democrats who don’t listen to podcasts at all.

Here’s the good news for you Democrats: This year, there are enough contenders that, if one of your favorites isn’t chosen and Trump is re-elected, you can always adopt the mantra, “Bernie, Pete, Amy, Joe, Cory or Elizabeth would have won!” (Daniel Walters)

Then There Were Ten

Joe Biden

Cory Booker

Age: 76

Age: 50

Résumé: Before serving as vice president under former two-term President Barack Obama, Biden was a long-time US senator representing Delaware from 1973 to 2009 (He also ran for president twice.). Notable moments of his senatorial tenure include voting for the US invasion of Iraq, pushing for tough-on-crime measures like mandatory sentencing laws, and getting the 1994 Violence Against Women Act passed.

Résumé: With roots in New Jersey, Booker worked as a tenant organizer and founded a nonprofit legal clinic for low-income families in Newark before getting elected to the City Council in 1998. After unsuccessfully running for mayor in 2002, he ran again in 2006 and won, serving until 2013, then jumped into a special election for US Senate.

He was re-elected in 2014 and has held the seat since.

Polling: Since entering the Democratic primary, Biden has led the pack of candidates in the polls, currently holding at around 30%.

Talking Points: His campaign has been bullish on one message: Joe Biden is best equipped to prevent President Donald Trump from getting re-elected. While his chief competitors in the race, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, jockey for the fiery progessive wing of the Democratic Party, Biden proudly positions himself as a legacy centrist who can unite the country.

Best Known For: Being personable, empathetic, folksy and utterly embodying the “Uncle Joe” nickname. But this trait has gotten him into trouble, such as recently taking a beating in the press for being too casual and touchy with women.

SEPTEMBER 11-17, 2019

•

Trivia: Biden was just 29 when he won his first campaign for US Senate but turned 30 by the time he was sworn in — the legal minimum age for the office.

What He’d Order at a Bagel Shop: He’d probably ask if they serve pasta before zipping off to the closest Italian joint. (His favorite food is reportedly angel hair pasta.)

Side by Side: Biden and Trump are both aging white men who rose to prominence in the political and social context of the ’80s and ’90s, making them cultural dinosaurs in the eyes of millenials and the media. Trump, however, openly embraces authoritarianism and polarization, while Biden maintains a firm belief in an idealized West Wing-esque vision of American democracy where centrist bipartisanship is still a thing. (Josh Kelety)

SFREPORTER.COM

Polling: Unfortunately for Booker, he’s struggled to make a dent in national polls, consistently notching below 5 points over the last few months in the crowded field.

Talking Points: Booker bills himself both as a progressive and a pragmatist who will work within the system and won’t let the perfect get in the way of the good. He touts his focus on criminal justice reform issues, such as his successful bipartisan federal criminal justice reform bill, the First Step Act. In an indication of how he’d handle lofty progressive policy goals, he’s maintained his support for Medicare for All while also indicating that he’s open to keeping private insurance.

Best Known For: Booker has espoused a “radical love” for all Americans as a foundational philosophy of his campaign and a broader positive strategy to unify a polarized nation around remedying injustice. But this

hasn’t stopped him from taking aggressive shots at Donald Trump or his Democratic rival Joe Biden.

Trivia: Booker started out as a vegetarian in the ’90s before going full-on vegan in 2014.

Favorite Hashtag: He’d mistakenly use #instagood as a stand-in for positive, feel-good righteous, justice vibes when reposting any content referring to the incident where he carried a woman from a burning house in Newark.

Side by Side: While Trump eventually signed Booker’s First Step Act into law and has some connections to New Jersey through past real estate plays, that’s where his similarities with Booker end. Trump is increasingly doubling down on white identity politics to replicate his successful 2016 campaign while Booker has said that Trump is “responsible” for the mass shooting in El Paso because he is “stoking fears and hatred and bigotry.” (JK)

Pete Buttigieg

Julian Castro

Age: 37

Age: 44

Résumé: Buttigieg has served as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. He was elected at 29, making him the youngest mayor in the country to ever serve a city of 100,000 or more. A graduate of Harvard and an Oxford Rhodes Scholar, he served as a US Navy Reserve intelligence officer from 2009 to 2017, deploying to Afghanistan in 2014.

Polling: Buttigieg is trending fifth among Democratic contenders in eight polls conducted in August, averaging 4.6 points.

Talking Points: As a millennial, Buttigieg says he recognizes there is no stopping the clock and turning it back, but only moving forward.

He plans to address job-loss impacts from automation, make system-wide changes to the transportation and energy sectors to combat climate change, and crack down on gun violence by banning military-style weapons and investing in the prevention of extremism and domestic terrorism.

Best Known For: He’s quickly becoming known for his calm and eloquent answers, both during debates and to hecklers on the campaign trail, with some comparing him to Barack Obama.

Résumé: Born in Texas, Castro was first elected to the San Antonio City Council in 2001 at age 26. After 2005, he eventually was elected mayor in 2009 and served until 2013, during which he instituted a universal pre-K program. In 2014, he joined former President Barack Obama’s cabinet as secretary of Housing and Urban Development. youngest president ever and the first to be openly gay.

Likely First Date Spot: Pete would take you to the Iowa State Fair, where you’d chow down on every fried thing imaginable, blissfully forgetting those first-date jitters when your fingers brush while reaching for the same pork chop on a stick.

Side by Side: Though Buttigieg has no state or federal level political experience, he still has more years of government experience than Trump, whose only foray into politics has been in the highest office. While Trump took the US out of the Paris Climate Accord, Buttigieg plans to launch a Clean Energy Victory Plan on his first day in office.

(Samantha Wohlfeil)

Trivia: If elected, Buttigieg would be the

Kamala Harris

Polling: Despite some splashy moments in the recent televised Democratic debates, Castro is near the bottom of the pack in national polls with less than 1%.

Talking Points: Castro made a name for himself with a specific and bold immigration reform proposal that challenges Trump’s anti-immigration policies. That plan includes policy points like decriminalizing illegal border crossings and limiting the federal government’s ability to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants.

Best Known For: Skewering fellow Democratic presidential contender Beto O’Rourke for not doing his “homework” on federal immigration law during a June debate.

Trivia: He has a twin brother, Joaquin—he is also a politician—and while he was on a

Age: 59

Résumé: One of California’s two US senators since 2017, Harris previously served as California attorney general (2011 to 2017) and before that she was the district attorney for San Francisco (2004 to 2011).

Résumé: Klobuchar rose from being a corporate lawyer, to a county attorney in Minnesota, to a US senator from Minnesota.

Side by Side: They’re basically polar opposites. Castro is Latino, has prior experience in government, and wants to reverse Trump’s current crackdown on undocumented immigrants through a plan that would, among many things, increase the number of refugees that the US admits annually. Trump, meanwhile, has unabashedly described Latino immigration as an “invasion.” (JK)

Polling: Pretty dire. Klobuchar had only 0.8% in the last Real Clear Politics polls.

Polling: Among eight polls conducted in August, Harris trended fourth among Democrats, gathering an average of 7 points and trailing Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden.

Best Known For: The media spotlight focused intensely on Harris in mid-2017 when she put her prosecutor skills to use, grilling Rod Rosenstein and Jeff Sessions about the firing of former FBI Director James Comey.

She was shut down repeatedly by Sens.

John McCain and Richard Burr who asked her to be more respectful, sparking a debate

What He’d Be Like on a Date: Charming, eloquent, intelligent, but slightly unnerving because it would be hard to tell if it was actually him or Joaquin serving as a stand-in —at least initially.

Amy Klobuchar

Age: 54

Talking Points: Harris plans to push for Medicare for All and says that her first move as president would be to reverse tax breaks on wealthy companies and offer tax credits of up to $6,000 for working families each year. She’d also push for criminal justice system reform, including abolishing the death penalty, legalizing marijuana, changing the way drug offenses are handled and ending cash bail — things she failed to support as California’s AG.

decorated barge at a 2012 parade in San Antonio, onlookers reportedly mistook him for Julian.

about whether a male congressman asking the same questions would’ve garnered the same reaction.

Trivia: Her name comes from the Sanskrit for “lotus.”

If She Got a Vanity License Plate: TRUTHSKR Side by Side: Trump has railed against immigrants, making moves to stem both legal and illegal immigration, and soon after taking office implemented travel restrictions Harris coined as the “Muslim Ban.” Harris is the daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica, and says she would reinstate protections for “Dreamers,” put protection in place for their parents, and create a pathway to citizenship for 11 million immigrants already here. (SW)

Talking Points: In the Senate, she’s pushed for funds for more rape kit testing and several bills aimed at combating sex trafficking.

For Minnesota she’s a liberal, but compared to the rest of the field, she’s downright moderate. She’s one of the few Democratic presidential contenders to avoid endorsing Medicare for All, a stance that’s likely hurting her in the primary, but could help her in the general. She’s a strong-willed Democratic woman who won’t ignore the Midwestern states. In 2018, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, she won 1,250 of the 3,000 Minnesota precincts won by Trump in 2016.

Best Known For: Binders thrown by women. Klobuchar’s former staffers share horror stories about her management style, including sabotaging staffers looking for other jobs. And that’s for staffers she likes. Others detailed late-night insulting emails, and one incident where she threw a binder angrily and hit some poor sap.

Trivia: While running for Senate in 2006, Klobuchar claimed she raised $17,000 from

ex-boyfriends, not traditionally a powerful donor base.

How She Probably Orders Bagels: “Just bring me something halfway decent for once in your life, but I swear if just one sesame is out of place, you’ll never sell bagels in this town again.”

Side By Side: One Washington Post columnist called her “Trump’s Worst Nightmare.”

All of Klobuchar’s dirt (she was mean to staff members) suddenly pales in comparison to the long string of Donald Trump scandals, which includes, just to pick one example, the time he withdrew the health insurance supporting his nephew’s infant child, suffering from cerebral palsy, because of a family dispute. On the other hand, there was that report that Klobuchar ate salad with a comb.

A comb! (DW) CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Beto O’Rourke

Bernie Sanders

Age: 46

Age: 77

Résumé: Born in El Paso, Texas, O’Rourke co-founded an internet services and software company before he became an El Paso City Council member from 2005 until 2011.

From there, he won a congressional seat representing Texas’ 16th District until 2019. But you probably know him from his unsuccessful bid to unseat Ted Cruz in the US Senate last year.

Résumé: Sanders was elected to Congress as an independent in 1991, serving in the House as a representative of Vermont. He became a senator in 2007 and has remained one ever since.

Polling: 2.1% Talking Points: O’Rourke has had trouble separating himself from other candidates, as he’s not quite as far left as Sanders or Warren but not quite as popular as someone like Biden. But since the shooting in El Paso last month, an exasperated O’Rourke has become fiery—lambasting Trump for racist rhetoric and clearly stating that his intention is for Americans who own AR-15s and AK47s to sell them to the government.

Best Known For: It’s been said that O’Rourke has youth pastor energy. He wants to sell you on his liberal ideas, but he wants to be cool and relatable about it.

Trivia: O’Rourke was once in a punk band called Foss. He was also arrested twice in the ’90s — once on suspicion of burglary, and once for a DUI.

Polling: 16.3%

What He’d Be Like on a Date: For a while, he’d listen to you, make you feel heard. But then you notice he keeps glancing down at the table, nervously. Don’t do it, you say.

But O’Rourke can’t resist. Before you know it, he’s clearing off the food, rolling up his sleeves and shouting about how he will unite the people. You realize that you’ll never be enough. Because his first love, always, will be the table beneath his feet.

Side by Side: His stance on immigration is in sharp contrast with Trump. While Trump wants to build the wall, O’Rourke wants to tear the wall down that separates his hometown of El Paso from the Mexico border.

He’s against separating children from their families, and he would provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

(Wilson Criscione)

Elizabeth Warren

Talking Points: Sanders wants a “political revolution.” And if within five minutes of hearing Sanders talk, you don’t know that Sanders wants to break up Wall Street, provide Medicare for All, and fight for the interests of workers instead of the big bad 1%, then something is seriously wrong. He also wants to cancel all student debt and he supports the Green New Deal, calling climate change a “global emergency.”

Best Known For: He ran an unexpectedly formidable campaign for president in 2016 in which the term “Bernie Bros” became a thing, a nice bird landed on his podium during a Portland rally and he seriously threatened Hillary Clinton in the primary (except it wasn’t really that close).

Age: 44

Résumé: As a former teacher and law professor, Warren won a seat on the US Senate in 2012, becoming the first female senator from Massachusetts.

Résumé: Yang graduated from Brown and Columbia and worked as an attorney before working in philanthropy and healthcare startups, then running a grad school test prep company. In 2009 he started Venture for America to train and help the next generation of entrepreneurs so they had a better chance at revitalizing American cities and creating jobs.

Polling: 17.1%

Best Known For: Mocked as “Pocahontas” by Trump, Warren thought it would be a good idea to prove her Native American heritage by taking a DNA test last year. The test showed she had Native American heritage six to 10 generations ago, but the move has been widely panned as insensitive to Native tribes and people of color.

Fake Trivia: When he’s not running for president, Sanders is busy creating and starring in the HBO comedy television series Curb Your Enthusiasm under the pseudonym Larry David.

Side by Side: The staunch Bernie supporters remain convinced he would have beaten Trump in 2016, had he won the primary. And the current head-to-head polls have him ahead of Trump by an average of 6 points. But this isn’t 2016, polls aren’t always reliable, and who knows if the country is ready to vote a democratic socialist into office. (WC)

Andrew Yang

Age: 70

Talking points: She shares many views with Bernie Sanders — ending corruption in Washington, D.C., and raising wages, for instance — but with one key distinction: She says she remains a capitalist. She pushes detailed policy platforms, including signing on to the Green New Deal resolution in February and embracing the climate change plan of Gov. Jay Inslee. She has her own thorough plan to cancel student loan debt by taxing the rich.

Trivia: Sanders was elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont, in 1981 by a margin of 10 votes.

Trivia: Warren was a registered Repbulican until the mid-1990s.

What She’d Be Like on a Date: Already knowing what she’d order before she gets to the restaurant, Warren would use that extra time not spent looking at the menu to explain why cheeseburgers are exactly what the fossil fuel industry wants you to talk about.

Side by Side: The Trump world is reportedly anxious about Warren now that she’s bounced back from the DNA test debacle. But many Dems still see other candidates having an easier time taking down Trump than Warren. She disdains big banks, while questions are being raised about his connections with one of the biggest, Deutschebank. (WC)

Polling: Yang trended sixth among top Democrats in eight polls conducted in August, averaging 2.6 points.

Talking Points: He is also pushing for Medicare for All and believes in capitalism that puts human beings before money. Many of his solutions, such as those to address climate change, are centered in an economic approach that makes it more feasible for people to afford.

Best Known For: His main policy is centered on creating a universal basic income called the Freedom Dividend, under which every American over 18 would get $1,000 a month. The policy is meant to counterbalance the loss of jobs to automation.

Trivia: His campaign slogan, featured on hats as “MATH,” stands for “Make America Think Harder.”

Most Likely to Become a Meme: The internet “Yang Gang” has slapped his likeness and ideas on all sorts of memes, from “Do you even lift people out of poverty, bro?” to a take on the Ancient Aliens Guy: “I’m not saying the robots took all of our jobs, but the robots took all of our jobs.”

Side by Side: Yang and Trump are both businessmen, but while Trump’s ventures famously feature his name and aim for personal family gain, Yang’s work has tended to support the work of others and spreading the wealth. Yang appeals to many libertarians and conservatives who may have become disaffected with Trump. (SW)

Flow Science operates around the world, but is headquartered in Santa Fe—for now

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

H

ere is a pro tip: If a mechanical engineer offers to explain computational fluid dynamics, ask for a demonstration that employs libations in a half-empty glass. You may, at least fleetingly, gain a (probably false) sense of comprehension.

Or so it seemed to me when Amir Isfahani, president and CEO of Flow Science (www.flow3d.com), used his partially consumed beer to explain the fundamental issue his company addresses through its FLOW-3D software, used by clients all over the world in industries that include aerospace, biotech, automotive, additive manufacturing and consumer products, to name a few.

Isfahani was the Kick-Ass Entrepreneurs of Santa Fe Storytime guest speaker on Sept. 5 at Back Road Pizza—the series highlights local entrepreneurs and their businesses’ origin stories.

“I don’t know if I can call myself an en-

trepreneur,” Isfahani said by way of opening, before discussing his background, the company’s history and the physics behind it all.

And while several scientists in the audience would have followed a higher-level explanation of computational fluid dynamics, the beer demo was definitely easier to grok for those of us who studied English in graduate school.

Isfahani completed his doctoral dissertation in theoretical and applied mechanics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2011, focusing on flow, but in that case the microcirculation flow of red and white blood cells, the formation of which at such a tiny scale, he told me after the talk, “is not very well understood.”

The 38-year-old became president of Flow Science approximately two years ago, but has worked at the company for more than a decade, starting out as a software developer before transitioning into research and development, sales and, ultimately, company leadership.

FLOW-3D allows users to create simulations for free surface flow. An example Isfahani shared with me after his talk included work helping design a “fish ladder” to address thwarted fish migration routes in rivers owing to a variety of factors, such as increased water temperatures and perched culverts. Flow Science, he says, has several clients in Japan who use the software for tsunami simulations and modeling.

Back to the beer. Essentially, Isfahani said, as he tipped his glass so the beer flowed to one side or the other, “if it has

this much beer in it, and say we are going to move the glass likes this, the fluid starts moving like this.” On a computer screen, he noted, you could try to design a different shaped glass and try different motions to see whether or not the liquid would spill. “This was a cheap example,” he said. “The expensive version is you want to build a dam in the river and it’s a multi-million-dollar project.”

The company’s FLOW-3D software began as just a few hundred lines of code written by then-Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist CW “Tony” Hirt as an appendix to a paper he and other scientists authored in the late 1970s. As Isfahani tells it, Hirt “said to the lab, ‘what if I tried to commercialize this?’ And they said, ‘go for it.’” Hirt went for it, founding Flow Science in 1980. The original code, Isfahani says, is now “a few hundred thousand lines of code … and we protect it

Flow Science President and CEO Amir Isfahani used a glass of beer to explain the basic principles of fluid dynamics to an audience at the Sept. 5 Kick-Ass Entrepreneurs Storytime event.

with our lives.”

Over the decades, he says, Flow Science engineers have added and shaped the code in response to different problems and requests from its clients, “and in time we built this monstrosity that now serves 12 different major industries and does the best job worldwide compared to any other code.”

That worldwide success means Isfahani travels approximately eight months out of the year and works, he says, 24/7.

The company is small: 36 people. “We are a tight-knit family,” he said. Flow Science was recognized for its employee policies this summer with an award from Family Friendly New Mexico.

The company also faces challenges.

On the physics side, calculating for turbulence remains inexact, and equations involving turbulence still can’t be solved with zero error, he said (#physicsproblems). The code is written in Fortran, a classic programming language for physics, but not necessarily known by a new generation of programmers. Isfahani says the company talks about rewriting the code every 10 years, but ultimately decides it’s “too scary” to risk accidentally breaking a code that has been working for decades.

I snuck in a question about my favorite existential threats—artificial intelligence and automation—which Isfahani acknowledged were areas the company needed to keep in mind “to make sure we are not left behind.”

More pressingly, Santa Fe’s infrastructure shortcomings make Flow Science’s future here uncertain—specifically, limited housing options for employees as well as concerns about the quality of the public schools. The city is moving in the right direction, he said, but it’s unclear if it’s happening quickly enough. “If this is going to be the state of affairs,” he told the audience, “… we won’t be here in five years.”

ART OPENING FRI/11

Someone’s Trash Erin Currier celebrates a decade of exhibits at Blue Rain Gallery The small dog barks furiously as I pull up to Erin Currier’s South Capitol home and studio, but she assures me he’s bound to calm down. Twenty minutes later, he’s like putty in my lap as Currier explains her work and travels and upcoming show at Blue Rain Gallery, From Manet to Mexico: Mas Las Meninas, her tenth annual large scale showing at the Railyard space and a milestone that hits roughly 20 years after her first exhibit ever at a coffee shop in Taos.

“It’s about human dignity,” Currier says “I portray people from all over the world—Nicaraguan mothers, historical figures, people I meet; every ethnicity, every walk of life.”

In the studio, just such people are reflected. One piece features a group of incarcerated women temporarily let loose to fight the recent California fires for pennies a day; a portrait of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez looms; a representation of Nicco Montano, the first-ever Indigenous woman UFC champ, stares back. Each piece carries Currier’s signature style—one instantly recognizable to anyone who knows the local art market—but each subverts and reimagines classic works by Gaugin, Manet, Delacroix, Titian and more.

These are paintings, yes, but layered

with pieces of trash collected durring Currier’s travels in Mexico, the desert of California and beyond; cigar labels and torn posters, broken-down oilcloth and candy wrappers—she’s been using trash in her works for more than 20 years.

“When I graduated from college, I’d been working as a barista and … I was blown away by how much trash we threw away every day,” she tells SFR. “So I started saving it at the end of my shifts.”

Currier further says traveling itself informs her work. One piece that recalls Titian’s “Portrait of a Lady in White” celebrates Aboriginal women from Australia, where she recently traveled for the first time; another, Manet’s Le Balcon.

It’s easy to draw a line to feminism with the series, but it’s even easier to find the humanity.

“It’s interesting, because a lot of it comes together and in orgranic, unexpected ways,” Currier says. “I find that if I try to seek things out, it doesn’t really work. Everything great that’s ever happened in my life and work seems to have unfolded by chance.”

like Elton John, James Taylor and Steely Dan as driving forces for his own tunes.

Still, in his later years, Finney has been learning what he calls his “new stuff;” old ballads from the turn of the 20th Century.

“I love learning some of these old songs by Gershwin, amongst others, and introducing them to my crowds,” he gushes. “They’re classics, but people are hearing them fresh for the first time.”

As far as modern music is concerned, Finney says his interest is little to none, especially, he says, as he observes a noticeable change in how youths learn about and make music.

“Generally speaking, I’ve found there’s been a huge decrease in music education over the years,” he laments. “It creates poverty in music making. GarageBand is cute with three chord progressions, but if you’re serious about this, you need to learn more.”

Asked if he would affect any particular change, Finney adds, it would be to unify and educate. Along with playing the old (or new?) Gershwin jams, he cuts deals with steady patrons: If they want to hear a hit, he also gets to show them something less-known.

“I’ve made my peace with those songs, Billy Joel, Les Miz, Phantom— the requests literally come every time I play,” he says. “If I can match that request to something you may not have heard before from one of these artists, then I think I’m doing my job.”

While watching Finney bring the house down, it’s clear there probably won’t come a day without a piano bar scene in Santa Fe or anyplace.

“It isn’t dead and it won’t die,” Finney exclaims. “This is one of the few places where the music isn’t booming; it’s perfect for a romantic evening, or for a hankering for some good ol’ real music.”

Finney is full of energy on that piano.

A man is in his natural element. The crowd smiles, sings and shouts. We aren’t focused on anything other than the nostalgia kicked up with every hit he pulls out.

“I’m not in the music business,” he muses. “I’m in the memory business.”

enix at Vanessie is quiet as the evening approaches, but you shouldn’t expect it to stay that way. Pianist Bob Finney warms up, smiling from ear to ear and placing his effects at the grand piano. As the crowd pours in, they know him by name. Finney is eager to greet every last one of them as they settle in: “What’s your favorite song, dear? I can’t remember,” he says to a patron. “‘Send in the Clowns,’ of course,” she responds.

“I guess I’m warming up with some Clowns tonight,” Finney says with a laugh.

Starting in 2012, Finney is now in the midst of his seventh year at Vanessie, and he couldn’t have more of a rapport with the senior musician Doug Montgomery, a mainstay at the restaurant and wine bar for decades.

“Doug started this, and our sets provide a great contrast,” Finney tells SFR. “He’s the showman, he plays classical piano, and is more performance based. I’m the sing-along guy—showtunes, Mowtown, hits from the ’50s to the ’80s is my bailiwick.”

His approach is also more communal, preferring his audience to gather around the piano and participate while he sings and plays. And so they do, swaying with drinks in hand and following along. As for Finney himself, he’s in and out of Santa Fe for most of the year, splitting his time between slots at Vanessie, on a summer riverboat excursion on the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington,

a resort in Palm Springs, California, and winters gigging in Aspen and Vale, Colorado.

“Oh I missed you,” he proclaims as he hugs the grand piano. “Hugs are always good.”

And with an energetic intro, he jumps right into “Welcome Back,” instructing the audience how to sing the shout-backs.

This is the kind of setting every person dreams of walking into at least once; a comfortable bar with the charming regulars and hit after hit, a performer with an inescapable level of charm. The waitstaff at Vanessie all have a unifying comment: “Oh it’s fun, bro.”

Finney started out in Youngstown, Ohio, a steel mill town just outside of Cleveland. The youngest of four, all the Finney kids were given the opportunity to play piano, but he was the only one who stuck to it. His family was strictly Protestant Evangelical, and he came up playing gospel music for his congregation, the Church of the Nazarene.

“Everything growing up was gospel music. The church was an opportunity to hone my skills,” Finney explains.

He carried that evangelical education all the way to Nazarene College, becoming a minister before and until he hit 30.

“I was always taught the ultimate authority was the Bible’s at that time,” he reflects. “When I finally branched out at 30, I had never set foot in a bar, let alone [played] in one.”

But play he did, carving a niche for himself as a performer and bandleader for adamant crowds. Of course it’s no surprise Finney’s influences come from gospel jams, but he also rattles off greats

S FR E P O RTE R .CO M /A RTS

The Yuks Cloudtop Comedy Festival should probably happen every year

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

’ve asked around—and I’m talking people in the know—about whether there was ever a dedicated comedy club in Santa Fe, and the best anyone can tell me is that a local hotel maybe had something in the early-to-mid-’90s. End of list. Otherwise, there have been pop-up events and special one-offs over the years, but little else. Who among us will ever forget Hannibal Buress at sadly closed Skylight or pre-problematic Aziz Ansari and Dave Chappelle at The Lensic?

When since-closed bar El Paseo used to do open mics? Today, local comedy troupe Wayward Comedy hosts a twice-monthly open mic at Chili Line Brewing, but there’s nothing too regular for locals to enjoy.

Not anymore. For now, anyway.

Enter Cloudtop Comedy Festival, a first of its kind and massive celebration of the art of comedy. It’s all going down in Santa Fe this week, between Thursday Sept. 12 and Sunday Sept. 15, and it promises to be the kind of thing that changes the city—so long as we can support it now and in the future, y’know, should it become annual.

“I’ve been secretly obsessed with comedy for about 10 years,” says Jessica Baxter, the founder and director of the fest. Baxter’s day job is that of director of

special events for the Santa Fe Opera, but she’s been nursing a comedy crush so intently, she finally had to do something.

“There’s nothing finer in this life than laughing,” she continues, “and it’s been a dark time for people the last few years.

I love high art, I love classical music, but Santa Fe has high art figured out, and I think there’s room [for comedy].

Baxter tells SFR the idea came to her following a particularly heavy run of events in her personal life. She doesn’t want to go into explicit detail, but suffice it to say she’s needed a good laugh. With comedy enjoying a bit of a renaissance, or maybe explosion, over the last decade (not that it went anywhere, but you know what I’m talking about), putting together an event with big names isn’t so easy—and Cloudtop has some big names.

Most notably among them are jokers like Fortune Feimster, of shows like The Mindy Project and a celebrated standup pretty much anyplace in the know; Maria Bamford, a working horse regularly on the road and who has appeared in shows like Arrested

Development; and Kellen Erskine, a writer and comic who’s appeared on Conan and in comedy-based shows like Amazon’s Inside Jokes. Of course, it doesn’t end there even at all—there are simply more comics and events than we could possibly fit in print—and Baxter has put together family-friendly events, like The Children’s Comedy Show from Chicago’s much loved comedy legends The Second City, no small amount of opportunities for local comics and, one of the most promising events of the fest, the Future Comic Showcase, a rapid-fire series of short sets from 11 comedians culled from over 140 applicants across the country.

“I had a little credibility from being in the classical music world, and I’d built a foundation of support in Santa Fe,” Baxter explains. “Meow Wolf wanted to support this right out of the gate. I think there are 27 sponsors who stepped up; the city gave us a grant—we’re going to do this right.”

All told, Baxter says, it took 13 months of intense planning, a few pulled strings, some well placed phone calls to friends in the biz and the support of a city desperate

Fortune Feimster, who performs at the upcoming Cloudtop Comedy Festival, rules, and if you don’t know that, who even are you? Someone weird, probably.

for some goddamn comedy.

For Albuquerque’s Cody Herrera (Navajo and Cochiti Pueblo), it’s quite an opportunity in his burgeoning career.

Herrera has a slot in the Future Comedy Showcase because Baxter says his audition footage had her selection panel in tears laughing. Herrera says it’s the culmination of intense hard work over the last year, long drives to short sets at open mics and a personal drive to learn the art.

“Last year I set myself a goal to try and have five minutes of standup by the end of the year,” he tells SFR. “I didn’t do it, but I did write a lot of material. I started in January, and I’ve been performing ever since.”

Herrera describes himself as a bit of a comedy nerd, adding that he stays up to date with as many current comics as he can. Still, he says, he’s developing a style all his own based in expression, discipline and, he says, maybe a little bit of good old-fashioned honesty.

“It’s not really encouraged to be open and honest in every situation, but I’ve always had that honesty bone,” he says.

“It also goes back to structure—there’s a structure to telling jokes, you have to work to get it there.”

Herrera also has a short opening slot for one of Feimster’s sets. Is he nervous?

“I’ve been working my butt off since I got accepted,” he says.

Lastly, and more time-sensitive, Baxter says that those who might be concerned about the cost of some of the fest can visit cloudtopcomedy.com to sign up for volunteer shifts.

“You volunteer one night, then come one night for free,” she says.

That sounds like an amazing deal to me. You should probably try to do that.

Sage Merriam

COURTESY SAGE MERRIAM

Santa Fe High junior Sage Merriam has played Anne Frank before, in a school production of The Diary of Anne Frank. This weekend, however, she tackles the role from a new perspective in False Witness: The Trial of Humanity’s Conscience (7 pm Thursday Sept. 12-Saturday Sept. 14; 2 pm and 7 pm Sunday Sept. 15. $15-$25. The Swan, 1213 Parkway Drive, 629-8688), a new original play which casts the audience as the jury in the trial against Adolph Hitler and Merriam in the role of the prosecutor—Anne Frank. She’ll do courtroom battle against the likes of Martin Luther and Henry Ford, plus other historical figures known to be pretty awful. By the end, new questions might arise about what we know and who is responsible for the Holocaust.(Alex De Vore) Why did you want to play Anne Frank again?

What’s this role like?

I think it shows a lot more of her strength than the previous show I was in. In the Diary of Anne Frank, we look at a lot a the relationships she has with her family and her friends. Then we transition into this play, and we get to see the strength of a more grown-up person, the anger you don’t see a lot. Obviously, with the tragedy that happens in her family, she has to have some pent up emotions ...

What did you do to prepare?

I think, first of all, it’s easy to drop into the side of it that’s just a prosecutor. Anyone can be a prosecutor, but I liked the idea of how [Anne Frank] is connected to the whole thing. She’s not just bringing a random perspective, it’s very specified, there’s a reson she is prosecuting. We also learned a lot about the building of the case. What happened a lot was that me and the person playing the defense counsel, we’d forget our lines because we didn’t understand how the case was being built, so we went into that whole idea of how prosecutors and defense [attorneys] have to work around what they actually want to ask. There’s so much to think about.

Did you learn anything unexpected? Will the audience?

Absolutely. When I first read it, I had no idea that the figures in this show were so anti-Semitic. We bring in various characters from history, and the most shocking example for me was Henry Ford. It’s discovered as the case builds that he founded a newspaper that spread anti-Semitic propaganda, and with every car he sold, there’d be this newspaper included—a manual that explained why the Jews were the world’s problem. And he produced up to 30,000 cars per week.

ACTING OUT Just Keep Walking he occasion of Theatre Santa Fe’s third annual Santa Fe Theatre Walk unsurprisingly marks my third annual Theatre Walk column—every year it gets even cooler and even more worth writing about.

For newbies, the Theatre Walk is a one-day theatrical smorgasbord of 10 venues, nearly 20 companies, more than 20 productions, and one wristband that can get you in to see as much as you can in five hours. The first year’s walk in 2017 had about 400 attendees. Last year, the second, saw about 800. This year, Theatre Santa Fe President Talia Pura says she expects to easily hit 1,000, and there are even more activities to fit everyone in comfortably.

If you want to plan ahead, get more information about the venues, productions and participating companies at theatresantafe.org (it’s way more info than we could ever list here)—or just show up at any of the participating venues at noon on Saturday Sept. 14, pay $5 for a wristband, and see as many as you can by the seat of your pants.

Like Shakespeare? You can have some, both from young actors and seasoned pros. Prefer contemporary drama? Yup, there’s plenty of that too. Want to watch improv? All the cool kids are doing it!

How about a cabaret-style performance?

You bet. Original works from local playwrights? More than we can even name.

This year, the most exciting aspect of the day is the inclusion of theater companies from outside the city of Santa Fe. Nat Gold Players comes in from Las Vegas (as in, Lil’ Vegas), and SageRight Productions, headed up by playwright Robert Benjamin, along with the Los Alamos Little Theatre, make the jaunt down the hill.

COURTESY TALIA PURA

BY C H A R LOT T E J U S I N S K I c h a r l o t t e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Until now, Theatre Santa Fe was a strictly within-city-limits kind of organization, but things are changing.

“We really wanted to reach out to our neighbors. … As it happened, when we started putting together this year’s walk, I realized that … not every one of our companies could participate this year, so it actually opened up a few slots,” Pura says.

“I think nothing of going to Albuquerque, I’ve done shows there and rehearsals are not a problem. And Los Alamos and Las Vegas are places that are very reachable. … And we’ll support their participation in the Theatre Walk, and they’ll be introduced to companies in Santa Fe.” Nat Gold, says interim director Kayt Peck, has been around in some iteration since the 1970s as kind of the theater company laureate of the Las Vegas area.

Whenever actors are needed (for example, when Fort Union National Monument in Watrous offers candlelight nights and needs folks in period costumes to lead tours), Nat Gold is there—but now, with a 401(c)(3) status and new regular events, it is at last an actual established company, albeit a homeless one.

Check out Nat Gold’s performance of

THEATER

the classic Abbott & Costello skit “Who’s On First?” at the Theatre Walk, plus some stand-up comedy from Peck herself. If you like what you see (and we think you will), on Thursday Sept. 19 you can head to Vegas for the Nat Gold Players Nuthouse for more comedy from even more actors.

Benjamin, the playwright from Los Alamos, is no stranger to Santa Fe’s scene.

He’s presented plenty of staged readings at Teatro Paraguas and has had a number of short plays produced as part of the Santa Fe Playhouse’s Benchwarmers short play festival, and has long lobbied Theatre Santa Fe to bring outside-town companies into the fold.

Benjamin focuses on aging and death in his plays, injecting comedy and playfulness into a topic that can often feel taboo— even in a city with a median age as old as Santa Fe’s. One short piece he presents on Saturday, “Smiles,” is a charming story appropriate for both children and adults in which a precocious granddaughter questions her grandfather’s wrinkles. Many of the Theatre Walk plays may be a bit heavy for kids, but between the Upstart Crows’ scenes from Shakespeare, fun improv and original skits from the Young Playwrights Project and Benjamin’s offering, it’s a perfect day for all ages.

Is a cooperative event like the Theatre Walk building up to something? Of course, says Pura. “My goal is eventually to have a Fringe Festival in Santa Fe that will be on the fringe circuit,” she tells SFR, “and will attract national performers and international performers that do the fringes in other cities. We’re gonna get there.”

SANTA FE THEATRE WALK Noon-5 pm Saturday Sept. 14. $5. Various locations; theatresantafe.org.

NAT GOLD PLAYERS NUTHOUSE

Staged readings with script in hand are part of the annual Theatre Walk, but full-fledged productions, cabaret-style performances and improv also play a big role in the day’s festivities.

Well, It’s a Bloody Mary...

... MORNING (OR AFTERNOON) Willie Nelson’s pre-noon cocktail anthem “Bloody Mary Morning” is, like so many of the old crooner’s best, a song of lament and loss. But it offers a solution to having been left in the night by a lover or eaten alive by a city: Mix some vodka with your favorite spices and vegetable juice and voila! You’re on the winning side again.

We visited three Santa Fe eateries that feature bloody

SMALL BITES

marys prominently as an antidote to poor (or good) life choices, and came away with a wide array of choices for any palate. Whether you like ’em spicy, briny, salty or somewhere in the middle, Santa Fe has you covered on the best breakfast drink in creation. And if you prefer to do your morning drinking alone, we have some suggestions on how to make the perfect bloody mary at home.

BY JEFF PROCTOR

Atrisco Café & Bar DeVargas Center, 193 Paseo de Peralta, 983-7401 $10 To our unending delight, the bloody experience at Atrisco began when the bartender produced a large, nondescript, plastic, screw-top jar from a cooler. It contained the restaurant’s semi-famous mix, which we learned is not prepared daily, but as-needed. The goodness came in a flute-style glass—an odd choice, which left the bottom of the drink as essentially a shot of Tito’s vodka (your call on the brand) and some pepper— rimmed with salt and garnished with lemon, lime and two olives on a plastic sword. This one was long on heat, made with Tabasco sauce, and had great flavor and thickness. It was a little short on the clam and maybe a touch light on Worcestershire sauce. It’s not blow-your-brainsout hot, but of the three we sampled, this one had the most pop and character. We happily drank it as an afternoon meal with no actual food as a pairing.

Rio Chama Steakhouse 414 Old Santa Fe Trail, 955-0765 $10 The venerable old powerbrokers’ haunt also features a pre-made mix behind the bar, only at Rio Chama, the vodka is already on board. A skewer-sized stick graced the pint glass as a garnish, complete with a pearl onion, a cornichon, a cucumber, one olive, a celery stick, a lime wedge and a piece of lemon. This bloody mary is the salt-and-brine fiend’s delight. Soy sauce nearly took our taste buds over, but the onion powder helped toss in some balance. Midway through, we mixed in a little of the horseradish that came alongside our prime rib sandwich, and that provided just enough spice to get us easily to the bottom of the glass. Low on heat, long on disparate flavors, and just enough vodka in this one.

Harry’s Roadhouse 96 B Old Las Vegas Hwy., 989-4629 $8 As an early lunch, this bloody mary along with a catfish po’boy was pretty close to perfect. We didn’t see the bartender assemble it, but the clam juice was up front straight away, mixing nicely as we got further down into the concoction with a heavy dose of black pepper and Marie Sharp’s hot sauce for proper hotness. Lots of bloody aficianados will tell you that if the drink is properly made, it doesn’t matter what kind of vodka was used. In this case, the old saw held true— we didn’t care a bit that Smirnoff found its way into our gullet. This version of the classic won’t turn you red, nor will it put enough NaCl in your system for a week.

But there’s just enough of both to make us want to drive all the way to Harry’s again, and maybe even skip the po’boy.

SFREPORTER.COM

If you’re drinking at home For years, we’ve promised anyone who would listen that we’ll never reveal our personal bloody mary recipe. In the interest of the DIY spirit—and the notion that, if you want something done exactly right, you should do it yourself—consider the promise broken. Here are the ingredients of the perfect homemade bloody: Spicy Hot V-8, Tito’s vodka, blue cheese-stuffed olives (and a bit of brine from the jar), celery salt, fresh ground white and black peppercorns, Frank’s RedHot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, one lime wedge, fresh horseradish, one strip of bacon. The proportions are up to you. Enjoy!

Look Me in the Eye Is technology ruining dining out?

BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

recently enjoyed a drawn-out dinner at La Boca’s Taberna (125 Lincoln Ave., 988-7102), catching up with some friends from out of town. Chairs were going up onto tables when we finally realized we had talked ourselves right past closing time.

Before he clocked out, our server approached our table and said something to the effect of, “I had a really great time serving you tonight. You were my only table that didn’t have their phones out all night. It was nice to see people enjoying good food and good company without being distracted by technology.”

What he said struck me because just the previous day I had mulled over a couple sitting next to a group of us at Coyote Cantina. While we worked on some cocktails and a good chat, our neighbors sat in silence— one of them immersed in his phone, the other staring off into space. I wondered, is technology ruining what’s special about dining out?

It may be. A recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that when phones are out at the dinner table, it is harder to sustain meaningful conversations. It’s really a no-brainer, as no one likes having a conversation with someone who isn’t paying attention. The whole point to dining out is nourishment; not just for our bodies, but for forging and maintaining connections with those we care about.

“It used to be that people went out to dinner and that was their entire night. It was something special, not spending the whole meal on the phone, distracted by all of technology’s ‘bright, shiny objects.’

There’s no intimate time anymore.”

So says Lee Markel, a long-time staffer in restaurants around Santa Fe. Markel was our server that night at Taberna, and in his 24 years working in Santa Fe, he says he has noticed phones becoming more prolific atop his tables. Sure, that’s life; technology has seen rapid advancement since 1995. It’s also life in a town teeming with tourists looking to capture a perfect Santa Fe moment for posterity. But for someone who really loves being part of

providing a memorable dining experience to his customers, our fixation on phones at the dining table is demoralizing.

“The things I love about La Boca— the live music, good feelings, organic connections and a space that makes you want to spend time there—seem to be going unnoticed by so many people coming to Santa Fe now,” says Markel.

That a 2016 report from research firm Dscout says the average person interacts with a smartphone more than 2,600 times per day is most definitely fodder for thought. If we can’t put our phones down long enough to enjoy a meal and feed our personal connections, will we put them down for anything? If it’s the little things in life that matter, we’re missing out on a lot of them.

“As a server, my job is to facilitate that part of the ‘show’ that is dining out, but now it’s like, ‘why bother’? People don’t care about the nuances of good service anymore … the placing of a coffee

FOOD

mug so the handle is facing the person or a thorough knowledge of the menu. These details of service are going to go away because people don’t care,” Markel tells SFR. “Unless tradition is upheld, unless we slow down and pay attention to where we are and who we are with, it’s all going to be lost.”

To Markel’s point, if we’re too fixated on a phone to appreciate the refined, finessed service that makes eating out such a lovely experience (in addition, of course, to delicious food), we’re probably not going to get it. Even in an office setting, there are few people who will continue to go the extra mile if their efforts aren’t noticed or appreciated.

And it’s not just in restaurants that our devices have become detractors. A growing trend is that of the “digital detox.”

These range from self-help books to adult summer camps with sessions addressing technology addiction and vacations on which phones are handed over to organizers until the end of the trip. We may not all need a full-on detox, but that they exist is a good indicator that some of us have a connection to that thing in our hand that has gotten out of hand.

“As servers, our job is to help cultivate a sensual human experience,” Markel points out. But that experience, and his role in it, has become so diminished by technology that Markel is hanging up his apron for the time being. Though he’s moving to care for a family member, he hopes to someday open a restaurant that revolves around fine service.

“Even if it’s just tacos,” he says, “it’s good service that takes the experience of eating to another level.”

So, perhaps, on your next restaurant outing, consider putting the phones away.

Instead, drink in this beautiful place we call home, dive deep into the experience offered by the amazing restaurants we are lucky to have, take a moment to soak up the spoils of good service, and spend some time plugged into a connection that’s truly personal.

MOVIES Brittany Runs a Marathon Review How to get better ... a little

7

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Thank goodness for Workaholics alum Jillian Bell, as funny an actor as is out there today and the person who, at least in her new film Brittany Runs a Marathon, seems to be taking over the Amy Schumer–ish body positivity mantle, only with results that feel like they actually matter and a more nuanced performance than Schumer could muster on her best day.

Bell is Brittany, a schlubby late-20s New York transplant from Philly who spends her nights drinking too much and/or canoodling in club bathrooms and her days late to work and/or placating her thin and vapid roommate (Alice Lee). All that changes, however, when a trip to the doctor in search of Adderall finds Brittany confronted with her unhealthy life choices. A subsequent chance encounter with a neighbor who seemingly has her life together (Michaela Watkins, with whom Bell shared the screen in the recent Sword of Trust and with whom Bell shares an eerie natural chemistry) helps, too, and before we know it, Brittany decides she’s going to run the New York City Marathon.

+ BELL IS

AMAZING; SWEET AND DISARMING - SCENES OF CONFLICT FEEL SHOEHORNED

Here comes the montage of workouts and nay-saying toxic relationships, and as the pounds start melting off, replaced by confidence but not ridding our hero of her neuroses, a subtle morality play unfolds, asking us to assess why we do the things we do, why we believe the things we believe and whether or not our bodies should define us.

Of course they shouldn’t, and whereas other, similar films we might not have strayed too far from chubby girl gets thin and learns a thing or two about life, Brittany Runs a Marathon sneakily shifts from the weight loss shtick to encompass a more complete idea of self-improvement. Throw in a will-they/won’t-they thing with a sort-of coworker named Jern (Utkarsh Ambudkar, Pitch Perfect), y’know, to humanize Brittany and sweeten the deal. It might have felt hackneyed,

but Bell and Ambudkar are straight up adorable together, so it works.

Director Paul Downs Colaizzo, who penned the script based loosely on a real life friend, deserves kudos for tackling the matter with sensitivity and graceful humor, though Bell’s role as executive producer might have lent a hand.

She owns the role of Brittany, too, portraying a flawed and damaged and dimensional person, temper tantrums and all, but one for whom it’s easy to root and who winds up inspiring in a way that doesn’t feel like movie absurdity. Don’t expect to laugh out loud, but do expect some self examination once you leave the theater.

IT CHAPTER TWO

5

+ GREAT LAUGH LINES - WAY TOO LONG

The best part about director Andy Muschietti’s It Chapter Two is that it’s not heading for a third.

Whoever had the bright idea to turn the Stephen King tome into a two-part movie probably thought they had a blockbuster on their hands. The story, after all, is a fantastic representation of how the King of Horror can take our childhood fears and celebrations and melt them into the lingering terror of adulthood.

But this interpretation does it very little justice.

The same sharp crayon probably also made the poor call that this timed-for-Halloween release should clock in at just under three hours.

It begins 27 years after Chapter One, and the scary clown that ate up the children of Derry, Maine, is apparently back and in need of another ass kicking.

The second best part is that the movie is actually funny. The first half even soars as the audience can’t decide whether to gasp (at the shocking opening gambit that is, in fact, how the book begins) or to giggle as the Losers Club comes back together. The same potty humor from the child version of Richie Tozer (Finn Wolfhard, Stranger Things) that had us snorting

More like Shit Chapter 2. Naw, just playing—it’s fine for a three-hour clown movie.

5

BLINDED BY THE LIGHT

back laughter in the first chapter shows up in the right doses, and the timing between the adult players (Bill Hader as Richie and James Ranson as Eddie Kasbrack in particular) creates a snappy, sustained goof. King’s own cameo is a hoot, replete with a snotty attitude about his ever-present, semi-autobiographical writer character. In this case, it’s Bill Denbrough (James McAvoy, X-Men), who can’t seem to write a proper ending to a story to save his life. What’s supposed to be more than a sizzle of romance between he and the gang’s only girl (the grown up version of Beverly Marsh portrayed by a mostly blank faced Jessica Chastain) produces only minor heat. We love what’s emanating from Jay Ryan as grown-up Ben Hapscomb, though.

We’re not sticklers for every book-based plot to remain true to its pages, but this one veered too far off—especially the end, when it finally arrives. Even as the Creepshow antics provide plenty of the jump scares we came for and drippy, pop-eyed and gross creatures undertake unthinkable maneuvers, there are long scenes during which the whole thing takes itself too seriously. We guess if you saw the first one, you should see it through. But, don’t worry about getting back into the theater so fast when you take a bathroom break. It’s fine.

GIVE ME LIBERTY

8

+ QUIETLY FUNNY; GALUST; MOVING - TOO LONG; A COUPLE STRANGE ARTISTIC CHOICES

It’s hard to believe Give Me Liberty star Chris Galust is a newcomer. As van driver Vic, Galust’s nuanced performance is so natural and layered, he projects the confidence of a much more seasoned vet. And while we assume (and hope) he’ll go on to do great things, his work in the newest film from writer/director Kirill Mikhanovsky (credited here as Mikhanovsky) is damn near perfect.

Vic is one of those medical transport drivers in Milwaukee. It’s the kind of job that finds him helping the elderly make it to appointments or the disabled get around the city to compete in talent shows, visit doctors and so forth. But whereas Vic seems a good enough sort, he’s constantly running behind and finding his riders running roughshod over his good naturedness. Enter a wide array of kooky characters—the loudmouthed diabetic and the wheelchair-bound social worker, the gaggle of Russian immigrants trying to get to their friend’s funeral who transform Vic’s van into a music number on wheels.

Mikhanovsky based the film on his own experiences in a similar job circa the early ’90s, when his family first came to America from Russia. Vic’s various fares are based on his real-life passengers, and while the high points are almost invariably in

Vic’s responses to late riders, car wrecks, needy hangers-on and his own grandfather nearly burning down his apartment building with a cooking mishap, it’s Vic himself who makes Give Me Liberty special. It’s anyone’s guess how much of himself Mikhanovsky put into the character, but Galust’s seamless transition between overwhelmed hard-ass, heart-of-gold caretaker and wide-eyed young person makes his performance one of the best this year.

Give Me Liberty does falter in its protracted yet shallow jabs at social commentary, attempting to show multiple sides of racial issues but not meaningfully touching on them. And there’s an ill-advised switch to black and white footage toward the end that feels more jarring than artistic.

They’re small flaws (and they honestly might work for some) in an otherwise simple but powerful indie cast by very funny side characters and led by an actor we’ll undoubtedly see more of soon.

+ COMPLEX; THOUGHT-PROVOKING; WEIRD

- CREEPY CHINESE CORPORATE SINGING

As banks, schools and government offices closed in observance of Labor Day, lots of people here used the holiday to stock the freezer with bags of green chile—many of

them, we bet, didn’t think much about the labor movement that led to not just the weekend, but all kinds of safety and fairness rules that we take for granted. Not so with those who used the time off to catch up on the Netflix streaming release of American Factory, the first film from Higher Ground, the production company founded by Barack and Michelle Obama.

The opening narrative of the documentary had us thinking this was going to be the story of the triumphant return of manufacturing to middle America, but by the time the lights come back on at the auto glass plant that Chinese giant Fuyao reopens in a shuttered Dayton, Ohio, GM factory, we’re hooked on the powerful conflict at hand.

The complexities of what it means, and how it works, for Chinese managers and line workers to train US counterparts and for a business here to strive to get the same “efficiency” as its cohorts overseas make for a provocative exploration. Amazing back-room and under-the-breath access leaves little room to guess about motivations, and as tensions rise, our sympathies pivot between characters.

The Ohio forklift operator was happy to get out of her sister’s basement, but six of her Chinese coworkers live together in the same kind of new apartment she scores. A woman worked for GM for decades; at Fuyao, she earns less than half her former wage. An older worker who wears a pro-union headband is tasked to complete a two-person job and later fired. On a trip to a sister factory, Americans see firsthand why Chinese colleagues say things like

+ GOTTSAGEN AND LABEOUF; THE LANDSCAPES

- “LOVE” STORY; SUDDEN ENDING

Filmmakers Tyler Nilson and Mike Schwartz attempt to update the Mark Twain/Huck Finn formula with The Peanut Butter Falcon, a terribly sweet but ultimately middling folktale journey with some notable performances and an overall lack of impact.

Young Zak (newcomer Zack Gottsagen) is in his 20s and yearning to breathe free, but stuck in a North Carolina nursing home due to his Down syndrome and a lack of appropriate facilities. He rightfully hates the place and repeatedly tries to escape from his caregiver Eleanor (Fifty Shades of Grey alum Dakota Johnson), but when his roommate Carl (whose three lines are delivered by the legendary Bruce Dern) helps him flee by night, Zak finally puts some distance between himself and the glorified prison. Shortly after, he meets Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), a ne’er-do-well fisherman sort reeling from the recent death of his beloved brother through self-destructive theft and petty vandalism. Together, they decide to head south: to a North Carolina wrestling school for Zak, and to Jupiter, Florida, for Tyler.

Cue montages to southern folk and Americana tunes: the hasty building of a junker raft as Zak and Tyler form a brotherly bond each was sorely missing; a blind and black wise man practicing that old time relijun; and conflict in the form of violent fishermen wronged by Tyler and out for blood (John Hawkes and Yelawolf, both barely in the thing).

The Peanut Butter Falcon does well in quiet moments when LaBeouf and Gottsagen play off one another and have room to stretch out. But the needless addition of a love story angle feels trite and tired, particularly since LaBeouf’s performance is top-notch and his character is so much more interesting on his own or with Gottsagen than with Johnson. As Zak, Gottsagen is wonderful as well, his onscreen instincts sharp and a mix of shy vulnerability and lack of shame coming together for a naturally endearing combo.

Elsewhere, surprising turns from former pro wrestlers Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Mick “Mankind” Foley feel heartfelt if a tad brief, and though Thomas Haden Church as Zak’s hero, the Saltwater Redneck, is shockingly short—which is seemingly Church’s role in Hollywood at large— it’s almost moving enough to steal the show.

BLINDED BY THE LIGHT

5

+ DAMN, BRUCE HAS SOME JAMS - LEANS TOO HEAVILY INTO CUTE; KALRA IS BORING

In the midst of Thatcher’s jobless 1980s Britain, a teeanged Pakistani boy struggles to find his place and voice in Blinded by the Light from director Gurinder Chadha (Bend it Like Beckham), a heavy-handed love letter to Bruce Springsteen based on a true story.

It’s 1987, and Javed (Viveik Kalra) hates his small industrial town of Luton, England, a tale he tells through secret poetry and not-so-secret lyrics written for his dick-ish neighbor and only friend, Matt (Dean-Charles Chapman), whose hair tells us he’s apparently in some kind of Flock of Seagulls-esque band. When the synth pop of the day doesn’t cut it for Javed, however, a new chum turns him on to The Boss, and every dang thing he’s been feeling comes pouring out in all of its rock glory, seemingly just for him.

Cue obsession.

Javed spends the rest of the movie dressing, talking and acting like Springsteen, even going so far as to recite lyrics at people alongside egregious, endless eye contact—an act everyone everywhere hates, by the way—and using the jams to gain confidence and get dates and stuff. Meanwhile, an only sort of there English teacher (Hayley Atwell, aka Peggy Carter from the Marvel Cinematic Universe) inspires young Javed to keep writing by ignoring most other students and forcefully submitting him for writing contests; his father’s oldschool approach to literally everything (from a charming Kulvinder Ghir) stifles his sense of creativity, freedom and maturity. In other words, shit’s rough, and only Bruce knows how Javed feels.

Blinded by the Light might have been cute enough if it weren’t for wooden performances from Kalra and … well, everyone who isn’t the dad, really. Chadha’s take on the era feels eerily real, but themes like racism, personal evolution and family politics consistently take

a backseat to confusing not-quite musical numbers accompanied by odd floating subtitles of Springsteen lyrics. These scenes usually find Javed doing something emotionally overthe-top, like throwing himself against a wall in the rain and making big, sad eyes, and while he keeps saying he feels all these deep things, mostly he appears to feel awkward. And then, every time we get a closer glimpse at the challenges of a culture living so far away from home, we’re ripped back to a moment wherein Javed hits play on his cassette Walkman for an impossibly precise moment a Springsteen lyric is applicable to what’s happening in his real life.

Weird.

Yes, the story’s based on a real one, namely writer Sarfraz Manzoor’s Greetings From Bury Park, wherein the real-life friend of Chadha’s recounts his Springsteen awakening. That’s neat and all, and we do catch a couple real-world photos of Manzoor with The Boss over the end credits, but it’s hard to not wish Blinded by the Light had taken a more grounded approach rather than its cutesy one, especially since it feels so much longer than it needs to be. Then again, baby, we were born to run. Or something.(ADV)

SIAM is an 11 year old Siamese short hair.

This handsome cat had been a loyal companion to his owner for many years, until sadly she had to move into a care facility. SIAM is a gentle guy who will take a few days to settle into a new environment. The ideal home for him would be without small children or other pets. He wants to be your one and only.

SHADOW is a 4 year old, friendly, gentle guy that loves attention. He seems to get along fine with other cats. SHADOW is a FIV+ kitty, but that won’t stop him from living a long, healthy life as an indoor only cat without any necessary medication. He can be adopted as an only cat or he can safely share a home with other gentle cats that all get along.

Meditation & Modern Buddhism HAPPINESS TOOLKIT No one wants problems or suffering. Instinctively even animals try to avoid this day & nite. This indicates that even though we are not conscious of it, deep in our hearts we are seeking permanent liberation from mental and physical suffering. At times we are free from this but it never lasts. Worries and illness return. For as long as delusions remain in our mind we will never be free. Delusions are just bad habits which can be broken and changed. Just as muddy water can be purified it’s possible to purify our mind of all delusions and with no delusions remaining, nothing can disturb our inner peace and joy.

So the only way to end our suffering is by following a spiritual path. Everyone has the capacity to experience inner peace and happiness. By understanding our mind and learning key meditations that train the mind we can attain this. We learn how to choose happiness by taking these methods to heart. Our relationships become peaceful and we live a meaningful life.

In this series we ‘ll learn methods that develop a mind which responds peacefully to life’s difficulties no matter what the circumstances.

Held at the Zoetic Center 230 St. Francis Dr. Sundays, September 15th - October 13th (no class 9/29) 10:30am - 12:00 $10 Drop-in class Sponsored by Kadampa Meditation Center New Mexico (505) 292 5293

A species needs a sizable population to retain genetic diversity; a few individuals aren’t sufficient. 3. Humans have decimated the homes of the threatened species, making it hard for them to thrive.

One of her central teachings was to celebrate all the different parts of herself. “Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat,” she testified. These approaches should be especially fun and extra meaningful for you in the coming weeks, Pisces. I encourage you to throw a big Unity Party for all the different people you are.
