COVER, FEBRUARY 1: “OUR SCHOOLS ARE DROWNING IN DATA”

IT’S NOT ON THE TEST There is no time to teach anymore. Teachers just have to skim through lessons so they don’t fall behind on the test schedule.

Important things like civics, history and geography are being passed over because there is no time for meaningful discussion— and, hey ... It’s not on the test anyway.

Reformers have no clue what it takes to teach, and they seemingly have forgotten there are children’s futures at stake.

CORIE JONES OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON

BEST IN THE WORLD Thank you Matt Grubs. The elephant in the (class)room is poverty, and ridiculous data collection burdens are not going to fix it. When we adjust data for poverty, US schools—and teachers—are among the best in the world. Far-right politicians and profiteers have repeated the lie that public schools are “broken” for so long that too many believe it, and blame teachers for the failure of politicians to end poverty.

COVER, JANUARY 18: “CHOP SUEY ON SAN FRANCISCO STREET”

DEPORT US FROM MEXICO Let’s hope and advocate that the Mexican president is wise and clever to learn from Mr. Trump. The Mexican government might set up a deportation back to America of all Americans who went to Mexico for tax breaks and “easy living.”

For those American deportees returning to their country of origin, there would be housing and jobs for them left behind by the millions of Mexicans and other South Americans who Obama had deported and Trump plans to deport. It would be a fair trade deal exchange of expat properties. …

This brings American taxpayers back to the US to participate in today’s vibrant society, to add deposits to banks, purchase health plans, boost home sales, lower gas prices and help build the Trump wall to keep Americans in.

Imagine the emptying of expats from San Miguel de Allende, Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta!

Bedfellows

How four Capitol couples negotiate love, lobbying and legislating

ago, when they were both lobbying for AIDS-related bills.

Stefanics is newly elected to her District 39 seat, but she’s represented it once before, from 1993 to 1996. Back then, Siegle was crestfallen when her new partner didn’t speak up in favor of hearing a memorial that would have tasked the state Human Rights Commission with col-

MATT GRUBS

S

itting in his fourth-floor office at the Roundhouse, Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas, D-Albuquerque, starts in on a story about a vote he cast in a past legislative session.

His voice sounds the way that sliding your feet onto the thin, clear ice of a frozen pond feels.

“I didn’t know it until after the fact, but apparently I voted against one of her big bills,” Maestas says, sliding a bit further out.

“Oh my gosh!” Vanessa Alarid exclaims. “Yes, you did.”

Crack.

Alarid is a longtime lobbyist at the Capitol. She is also Maestas’ wife.

“It was bad public policy,” Maestas says half-jokingly.

“No it wasn’t!” Alarid jumps in. “It was a sustainable building tax credit and it was good for everybody.”

The ice breaks and the cold water of the familiar conflict sloshes over everyone’s shoes. Relations soon warm, though, as the couple begins to talk about how they make their love work during each legislative session.

It’s no secret that Roundhouse romances blossom each winter. Four couples roaming the halls of the state capitol on Valentine’s Day, though, have a unique relationship—one is legislator and the other is a lobbyist. The relationship brings with it both a comfortable familiarity and a set of unique pitfalls.

“You can’t hold a grudge,” lobbyist Linda Siegle tells SFR. Her wife, Sen. Liz Stefanics, D-Cerrillos, sits nearby eating a quick lunch and nods in agreement.

Like Alarid and Maestas, the couple has laid out ground rules in which the lobbyist won’t ask for the vote of the lawmaker.

Most of the time, it’s not an issue.

“One of the reasons that we hooked up was really that we have similar values and similar priorities,” says Stefanics. She and Siegle met at the Legislature 27 years

lecting data on discrimination based on sexual orientation. Stefanics says then-Senate President Pro Tem Manny Aragon didn’t want the legislation to derail the last days of the session, so she went along with the decision not to force a vote on it.

Now, nearly three decades later, both fully support keeping love and legislation separate.

“I would not ask Liz to carry any of my bills,” Siegle says.

“Which is too bad,” Stefanics adds, “because of course I’m going to support domestic violence bills and the nurses and nurse midwives. … We’re really trying to make sure I’m not carrying her water even if I choose to vote on her bills.”

State law doesn’t speak specifically on the issue of a lobbyist-legislator relationship. The Governmental Conduct Act does say disclosure of potential conflicts “shall be a guiding principle for determining appropriate conduct. At all times, reasonable efforts shall be made to avoid undue influence and abuse of office in public

service.” Frankly, for a law that purports to protect the public, that language is a little vague. The power of a harsh spotlight on a conflict of interest is not insignificant, though, and most couples have created their own rules in the hope that it can be avoided.

House Majority Whip Doreen Gallegos, D-Las Cruces, and her husband, longtime lobbyist Scott Scanland, have such an agreement. Scanland was tucked away in a corner of the office eating lunch when SFR caught up with the pair and asked him to explain.

“Our agreement seems to be she kills all my bills,” Scanland says with a wince.

Gallegos proudly nods.

That’s hyperbole, of course. As Stefanics points out, couples are often attracted to each other because of their political ideology, not in spite of it.

Gallegos says she won’t disclose anything that goes on in confidential caucus meetings, which Scanland says is fine. “I don’t want to know anything I shouldn’t.

If another lobbyist can’t know it, neither should I. ... I want to be able to talk about what I hear.”

While couples often keep a budding romance under wraps, disclosure of the intentional kind—the kind suggested by state law—is clearly more palatable than scandal.

“It’s tough with a small state to not ever have conflicts with things,” says freshman state Sen. Candace Gould, R-Albuquerque, who is married to Leland Gould, g overnmental affairs chief for Western Refining.

Her committee assignments don’t suggest a looming conflict, but Gould says she plans to lean on legislative staff should she see potential trouble coming.

Then, there are the more practical aspects of managing legislative love.

For newlyweds Scanland and Gallegos, their first anniversary fell during last year’s unexpectedly long special session. As it became clear they wouldn’t escape the Capitol in time to celebrate, Gallegos recalls, “He left! I was kind of angry. And he said, ‘Oh, I just have to go home for a bit. I’ll be back.’ And he came back with our cake topper. We ate it with a few close friends in [Senate President Pro Tem] Mary Kay Papen’s office.”

Score one for the lobbyists.

Dealing with Defunding Planned Parenthood rakes in record donations as reproductive services come under threat

BY STEVEN HSIEH s t e v e n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

M

ore than 500 people arose at daybreak Thursday to attend Planned Parenthood’s annual Breakfast of Champions, the event’s largest turnout since it started four years ago.

Patrons filled round tables in the Eldorado Hotel ballroom and shelled out more than $100,000 for the nonprofit provider of reproductive health services. The money follows a national trend of donations pouring into nonprofit groups that advocate for causes anathema to President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Conservatives in Washington for years have threatened to yank Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood. Those efforts have consistently failed, but with Republicans seizing control of both Congressional chambers, not to mention the White House, the organization is now facing the real possibility of losing a significant source of revenue, threatening its health care centers across the country.

As Wendy Davis, the former Texas state senator, gubernatorial candidate and invited guest speaker, put it women “are seeing a renewed assault on the reproductive freedoms that gave us opportunities in the workforce.”

Davis rose to political prominence in the wee hours of a summer night in 2013 in Austin by filibustering an anti-abortion bill. Speaking from a lectern at the breakfast, she offered her home state as a cautionary tale for what can happen when the government cuts women’s health programs. Since Texas started rolling back access to contraceptive and abortion services in 2011, teenage pregnancy rates haven’t declined with the rest of the nation.

And the maternal death rate in Texas has nearly doubled.

Cuts to Planned Parenthood’s funding could disproportionately sting New Mexico, where 24 percent of women are on Medicaid (compared with 15 percent nationally).

Planned Parenthood operates six health care centers in the state, offering services such as contraception, uterine care, cervical and breast cancer screenings, testing for sexually transmitted dis-

eases and abortions. Statewide, the organization served about 11,000 patients in 2016, including about 6,000 patients on Medicaid. The nonprofit’s Santa Fe location (730 St. Michael’s Drive, Ste. 4B, 982-3684) served 1,541 patients in the same year, including 500 Medicaid patients.

According to a 2010 analysis by the Guttmacher Institute, the group saw about 18 percent of clients in New Mexico seeking publicly funded family planning services, a disproportionately large share.

All of that could be under threat if Congress pulls the group’s funding. “What they’re talking about doing is, quite frankly, intentionally creating a public health crisis,” says Vicki Cowart, CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, which oversees this state, Colorado, Wyoming and southern Nevada. “There are not enough providers to pick up the slack.”

Shannon Sanchez-Youngman, a University of New Mexico faculty researcher who specializes in public health, says the patchwork of nonprofits providing women’s reproductive health services in the state is already fragile.

Cutting Planned Parenthood’s funding could be especially damaging for rural areas served by the organization, notably Farmington.

“Given that this is a rural state and one of the poorest states in the country, there is already very little access to health care,” Sanchez-Youngman says, pointing to research by the Department of Health showing that 40 percent of New Mexicans lack access to basic health necessities.

“We have a shortage of providers. In the research I do, for women in rural areas, one of their top needs is access to reproductive health care.”

Santa Fe community health care provider La Familia Medical Center (1035 Alto St., 982-5460) could potentially absorb some low-income patients if the local Planned Parenthood office were to scale back or completely shutter, according to medical director Wendy Johnson. But La Familia wouldn’t be able to replace the organization.

“We really depend on that relationship with Planned Parenthood to refer them to services we don’t offer, namely abortion,” says Johnson. Santa Fe’s only full-service

hospital, Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, does not provide abortion services.

“It’s also an issue of patient choice.

Some people prefer to get their services from Planned Parenthood,” Johnson adds. “We support them and want to see them around for a long time.”

Under New Mexico law, women making up to 250 percent of federal poverty guidelines are eligible for financial assistance for family planning services, a higher threshold than most states and the 133 percent line drawn by the Affordable Care Act. Pamelya Herndon, executive director of the Southwest Women’s Law Center, says the state Legislature should stand by that state policy if Congress moves to weaken or repeal former president Obama’s signature health law. “What we expect the state of New Mexico to do is to continue to support women and continue to provide family planning services,” Herndon says. “‘Low-income’ as set by the federal government is really not what is indicative of what is low-income for women.” And while Congress seems intent on rolling back the Affordable Care Act, state lawmakers have introduced legislation that would adopt as state law provisions of the law that guarantee access to all forms of contraception approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

“I just don’t trust what’s going to happen on the federal level,” says Rep. Debbie Armstrong, D-Albuquerque, one of the bill’s five original sponsors. She says the president’s appointee for secretary of the US Health and Human Services Department, Tom Price, has an agenda to decrease access to women’s healthcare.

Armstrong’s bill would also require insurers to cover up to 12 months of birth control at once and some over-the-counter methods of contraception. The bill is currently assigned to the Health and Human Services Committee.

The ascent of President Trump, who once bragged about groping women and asserted that those who seek abortions should receive “some sort of punishment,” has galvanized support for women’s rights and reproductive freedoms on a grassroots level. Millions of women and men marched in cities across the country, including Santa Fe, the day after the presidential inauguration.

“Where women are right now is they feel they should be doing something and not just sitting back and allowing things to happen,” Herndon says.

“We can’t allow fear to immobilize us,” Davis tells SFR. “We have to use our voices and fight back.”

Ski Mo’ Race circuit brings world champions through Santa Fe for a sport you’ve probably never heard of

BY ELIZABETH MILLER e l i z a b e t h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

J

“

ust an all-out suffer to the top” is how race organizer Joseph Risi describes the kickoff evening race for the US Ski Mountaineering Association National Championships, which took place this month at Ski Santa Fe and Taos Ski Valley for the first time.

The first race of a three-day program sees competitors charging from the bottom of the Ski Santa Fe ski basin to the top, climbing 4,500 feet of elevation in four sections.

Adhesive climbing skins give enough friction to the bottom of their skis to run uphill—as much as a person can run with skis slinging in front of their feet. Some sections require stepping out of skis and “bootpacking,” hiking up terrain too steep for skins. At Ski Santa Fe, the course ascended amid one of the rock drop-offs in Big Rocks Glade. Then competitors rip the skins off and ski back down. Some ski mountaineering events require technical climbing gear to complete a “via ferrata,” an installed set of metal ladderwork to aid in the ascent, and up to six “transitions” switching from skins to boots or skis. And this is fun.

Or, at least it was more fun than standing on the sidelines, says Jessie Young, who won the women’s overall competition and will head to Italy later this month to represent the United States in the World Championships. She got into

the sport four seasons ago after watching her fiance compete at Sunlight Mountain Ski Resort near Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

“It turns out, it’s not a very good spectator race and I’m not so much of a good spectator. So I just started to do the races myself, and started pretty recreationally just to kind of finish, and slowly worked my way up,” she says.

Young is now the top-ranked female in the US Ski Mountaineering Association national race circuit, and will be making her second trip to the International Ski Mountaineering Federation World Championships. She also competed in 2015—as did her fiance, Max Taam, who’s ranked second in the US. “You know you do a niche sport when you have to explain what it is to everybody,” Young says. “But in Europe, it’s not a niche as much.”

Competitors secured their spots on the US team for the World Championships before the Ski Santa Fe Fireball Rando Race, which was held Feb. 3 and 4, but that doesn’t mean anyone tapered off for this local race.

“This is their chance to show their teammates they can perform,” he says. “Top racers in the country will show up and show their teammates they’re worthy.”

In 2022, ski mountaineering is set to make its Olympic debut as an exhibition competition, an entry point toward securing greater status in the sporting community and, ideally, recruiting aspiring athletes who see a future in a sport that can take them to the Olympics.

Today’s lighter-weight ski bindings and walk-mode-equipped boots mean uphill traffic has increased, and sales in alpine touring (AT) gear have skyrocketed in recent years. In any given weekend, you’ll see people “skinning” up the hill at

not about the burn.

“I don’t play golf, but this is my winter golf,” he says. “You can have a conversation for 45 minutes, an hour long, two hours, three hours long, on the skin uphill. You put that in perspective. What do you do on the chairlift? You talk for maybe a minute or two, and then you ski back down.”

There’s a bond, he says, to a team that travels in the backcoun-Jessie Young try together.

It’s back! The re-bone-en-ing is nigh! After a brief respite last year for, uh, logistical reasons, we knew it was time to get love and sex back into the minds and hearts of our readers. We need these things now more than ever.

To revitalize us, sure, but also to remind us that closeness, intimacy, love and beyond are badly needed at this particular juncture in human history. Whether you’re navigating your very first three-way (page 21), learning or relearning what it means to be an accomplice to those you love (page 16), observing the dinosaurgy in all of its glory (see 3Qs with the artist on page 35) or even just looking for cheap ways to get down to the business of loving and sex-ing (page 24), we’ve got you covered. So tonight, after you’ve read this issue, take your lover in your arms, hold them tight, look deeply into their eyes and do it in the butt. (Alex De Vore)

How to

t e G d i La

Use consent to be a better lover

M

BY HUNTER RILEY

aybe you’ve heard the idea that asking for consent will ruin the mood. In my almost seven years of working at Self Serve down in Albuqerque (3904 Central Ave., 265-5815), I can tell you that’s absolutely not true. And, even better news: Getting good at consent conversations will not only reduce your likelihood of sexually assaulting someone, it helps make you be a better lover. And it might even get you super-laid!

Since our culture is pretty messed up about sex, let’s use food to help us understand a bit more. You feel hungry and you meet up with a friend to get food. Your friend asks, “Are you in the mood for tacos, enchiladas or pizza?” If you’re really hungry, your mouth might start salivating a bit more at the mention of each of those foods.

You might even get excited about all of the options and ask if you can have taco-enchilada pizza. It’s unlikely you’ll think, “Ew, gross! You laid out some options instead of just making the decision for me, therefore I’ve lost my appetite.”

Sex is the same way! Take time to negotiate with your partner before intimacy and you end up helping them feel respected and heard, while you also advocate for your own desires. You might even leave them excitedly awaiting the options you’ve talked about. Think of it as foreplay.

This is just one of the lessons about consent that we don’t talk about with sexually active adults, and when we don’t give adults the proper tools to navigate consent, we send them off into a world where it’s easy to perpetrate sexual assault.

This is where Jaycee Lewis comes in. She’s the Education and Prevention Specialist at Solace Crisis Treatment Center (6601 Valentine Way, 988-1951)

LOVE&SEX and an advocate for survivors of sexual assault and their families. She says consent should be enthusiastic, sober, voluntary, ongoing and non-coerced.

“I primarily teach seventh and eighth graders about sexual violence,” Lewis says.

“We are working to prevent future perpetrators by exploring rape myths and sexual harassment. Consent is a big part of this work.”

Some people think that teaching kids about these issues isn’t necessary because they aren’t having sex, but consent is about more than sex. It boils down to consideration of others.

“For middle school kids the word ‘consent’ isn’t even a part of their vocabulary,” says Lewis. “I always explain that consent is permission.”

When we teach people how to say yes, we also teach them how to say maybe and no, and as it goes in many sex education circles: If you’re a maybe, be a no. You can always change your answer to a yes later. Negotiating boundaries and consent is something that should happen on a regular basis, even with a long-term partner.

“Consent is not a one-time thing; we must always check in with ourselves and our partners,” Lewis adds. “Consent is necessary, both in individual intimate mo-

ments and as part of ongoing relationships.”

Some of you might be thinking that continuously getting consent sounds exhausting, but it gets easier the more you do it. And hearing a “no” gets easier, too! One of my sex educator friends, Reid Mihalko, has a great way to gracefully accept a no. If someone denies you, say, “Thank you for taking care of yourself.” Most of us hate being out with a friend who said yes to going out, but they really don’t want to be there and are miserable. Sex is no different.

In order to get better at asking for consent and feeling confident doing so, Lewis recommends taking your new skills out of the bedroom and into daily life.

“Consent isn’t exclusive to leading up to sex, [and] asking if it’s OK to give someone a compliment or asking if it’s OK to hug a friend who you might just hug without thinking about it are low-pressure ways to practice,” she says.

Once you get into the habit of checking in with people about what you’re about to do, you might be amazed at how appreciative people will be for this simple act. It helps them feel safe and like they can advocate for themselves without worrying about the consequences.

And this isn’t anything new. Alternative sex communities have created best practices around consent that, while not perfect, are a step above what we have in mainstream culture. I won’t say that abuse, assault and rape don’t happen in the kink and BDSM communities, but overall, more people in those realms practice negotiating boundaries before sex and play.

There’s something to be said about reading body language. If you lean in halfway to kiss someone, and they lean in the other half, it’s probable they wanted to kiss you.

But if they felt pressured to kiss you, they might lean in anyways, and feel bad about it later. Lewis recommends always using communication to get the answers we are looking for.

“What’s more likely to ruin a moment: not asking and being wrong, or asking and knowing for sure? Which one gives all parties autonomy over their bodies? Asking does.” Lewis says. “It’s painfully simple, and yet often overlooked. Questions like ‘May I kiss you?’ and ‘Does it feel good when I touch you like this?’ give us, and our partners, clear answers on what is or isn’t okay in an intimate moment.”

The takeaway here is learning how to be really good at consent will help you be a better person, be a better lover, and help you and your partners feel safe and sexy.

Accomplice Accomplished

BY ALEX DE VORE

Y

es, this is the Love & Sex issue, but we’re not just here to talk about romantic love. In fact, right now is one of the most important times in history to be an ally for everyone you love, platonic or not. Hell, it’s an important time to be a decent person, and Lord knows that I’ve been trying to work out how to become a better ally to the people in my life.

We’ve all got a lot to learn, and yet as I look around the world, both online and not, it seems fairly obvious that tons of people are trying harder to get active. But if we’re going to do this, we must do so without expectation. There will be no parades and there will be no back-patting—we will fight for the women we love, the trans people we love, the queers and people of color we love, the non-conforming people we love and the not-just-white-people we love. And we will do so not out of some misguided savior complex, but because we love them and because there are systems of oppression in place and because it is, frankly, right.

For the purpose of this piece, and though I am basically talking directly to them, I will not focus on how to ally with cis white

males. Now, this is absolutely not to say that such men don’t also face hardships or abuse, nor is it to say that movements such as feminism don’t also benefit them, but rather that we (myself included) have historically been pretty OK. Powerful, at least.

Furthermore, this is not to claim that considering these particular issues is the only way to make a difference, nor should you assume that I mean to imply a lack of importance of other arenas. Still, it should seem obvious to cis men that there are terrifying happenings afoot.

As author bell hooks posits in her 2000 book, Feminism is for Everybody: Passionate Politics, “Even though they cling to patriarchy, they are beginning to intuit that it is part of the problem.”

There are countless ways to affect change and countless issues to tackle, but this can be tricky. Where does one start?

And how does one become a good ally without falling victim to certain conditioned behaviors?

Allow us to break it down in easy-to-follow suggestions from the very people with whom we should seek to align ourselves.

As you read, remember that your contri-

butions might be small or even go unnoticed altogether; they may even be more about rewiring how you think.

But that doesn’t mean they aren’t actions worth taking.

We must first consider our language usage. It seems small, but words and intent are important. In fact, even the term “ally” has become more loaded than you might think, and “accomplice” might be the more apt descriptor according to artist Anastasio Wrobel, whose Non-Binary Coloring Book was featured recently in SFR. Wrobel believes the most prudent and doable steps begin there.

“Language is infinitely important in the trans community,” they say, “specifi-

LOVE&SEX cally for the reason that language is used as legislation to dehumanize us.” Wrobel further notes that they’d rather not get into a whole thing when it comes to explaining their identity, and that terms like “preferred pronouns” are more hurtful than they seem as they imply trans people don’t exist as they are and would rather “prefer” to be something they are not. It simply doesn’t work that way.

“I think we need all kinds of folks, but instead of overreaching for a hip and trending identifier … have read-ins or think-ins and 101s about communities whom are a target: Muslim communities, sex workers, disability justice, intersex communities, trans women and men and non-binary/non-conforming peoples, homeless youth, the elderly, our veterans, our Indigenous people and many more that I’ve not listed.”

If it sounds like a lot to consider, it damn well is, and there are no easy or obvious answers. Wrobel advises that doing one’s research is a good place to start, as well as caution and understanding. “If someone says they are unable to do that emotional labor any longer— teaching and demonstrating neutral language usage in public interactions— do not berate them into a dialogue centered on what they owe the movement or community,” they say. “Bodies get exhausted, especially those under attack.”

The lesson? Think about how your words carry weight and be open to new information. Trans people sometimes have to practically be politics professors just to explain their basic right to exist, and that is sad.

While you’re examining yourself, consider what some of these people face in professional scenarios. “I’ve been thinking a lot about the foundational sexism that keeps women out of leadership and high-level roles,” Kate Noble, a newly elected member of the Santa Fe School Board who previously worked in local government, says. “I actually think in my mother’s generation women became accepted as professionals, and in my generation we need to make sure women get accepted as leaders, which is not really currently the case. So I would say men can look to promote, encourage and ask that women be elevated into se-

Language is infinitely important in the trans community, specifically for the reason that language is used as legislation to dehumanize us.

versus take over a situation, which can be difficult. You see these problems that you want to work on, but you also need to leave the right amount of space for a woman to fight for herself. … It can be a real balancing act.”

And it goes even further, sometimes translating into a male assumption that power can mean no rules. “I was sexually harassed in an educational setting by a person in a position of power who, I quickly learned, made a habit of harassing many women,” Murphy continues.

“In the dialogues that followed, I proposed to a particular group of leaders within the institution that they should institute a policy wherein anytime someone saw harassment, they would immediately call the harasser out. But another of this man’s victims told me she would personally find that humiliating—that as the harassment was taking place she would be struggling to find a way to fight back, and to have another person swoop in and save her would reinforce her fears [or] that she wasn’t strong enough to save herself. … That situation taught me that being an ally sometimes is about really tuning in to what the person who is struggling needs in terms of support.”

The lesson? Think about nior and leadership positions more and more.”

Noble says this is particularly important for women around 40 years of age which, she says, “is when men generally ascend and when, I have seen for myself and many others, [women] really hit the glass ceiling. … I believe even some well-meaning men don’t realize their own deep-rooted bias, and instead something feels ‘off’ about promoting a woman.”

The lesson? Women often have to work much harder than men just to be taken seriously. Should someone’s gender play a role in what we believe they’re capable of ?

And it’s often more deep-seated than simple sexism. Some of the root issue is that men tend to assume they’ve got the power at all times. According to After Hours Alliance founder Shannon Murphy, “I think one of the challenges men struggle with is how to support women

asking, “What do you need?” before charging into a situation in an attempt to fix it in a way you’d consider “right.”

Let’s take it even further and consider what it must be like for a queer person of color like Cease Martinez. “I’ve never felt unsafe [in Santa Fe], but I think the most aggression I’ve felt is in having to explain myself, which I think is about privilege and people feeling like they can have an opinion on something they know nothing about,” she says. “I think awareness can be hard for white people because privilege is so embedded in them from generations and generations. How do you deconstruct all that?”

For Martinez, the most helpful way to be an accomplice comes down to a willingness to listen, and to actually be there when needed. “I think, if shit really goes down, are you going to be there, or will you keep doing these little, trendy things like showing up to a march and nothing else?” she asks. “If you have privilege, use it, and that means you

stand up if you see someone is being harassed because they’re queer or trans; and that might mean getting arrested or being a loudmouth. But get involved and get organized.”

The lesson? Be there. We saw

a good example of that with lawyers descending upon airports across the nation to help detainees during the recent attempt at a Muslim travel ban. That was awesome, and we can exact similar actions on a local level, too.

For Santa Fe University of Art and Design student Julian Williams, who has a white mother and a black father and is gay, it comes down to the perception of the term “ally.”

“Ally isn’t a noun,” he says, “it’s a verb.” Williams cites the recent trend of attaching a safety pin to one’s clothing as too passive a form of ally-hood.

“Even with that, it was like them saying, ‘Oh, I’m a safe space, come to me!’ which means the other person has to take most of the action,” Williams says, noting also that he considers the best allies the ones who listen but also take action.

Furthermore, Williams says that Santa Fe, while ultimately safer than many other cities, isn’t perfect. “This is the first place I was called the ‘N’ word,” he says. “And my fiancé, who is from Mexico City, and I were talking the other night about how we walk around in Mexico holding hands but don’t feel so comfortable with that in Santa Fe.” Indeed, it’s a mixed bag here. And while Williams says he places great faith in younger generations’ ability to be accepting and be allies, he says there is still work to be done. “I think after gay marriage was legalized in 2015, people kind of dropped the ball and figured that gay people have everything now,” he says.

“What gives me confidence in trusting people, though, is knowing that the majority of people I know who are around my age know that it’s common sense that people in the LGBTQ+ community face trouble, and so far that trust hasn’t steered me wrong.”

The Lesson? Accept that these marginalized communities have to operate in very specific ways to justify themselves, which is absurd, and then work out how you can embody the term “ally” as a verb.

he future of erotic freedom should look brighter than it does. A broadening of sexual representation and visibility in mass media has been taking the (first) world by storm since the millennial shift.

Last year, the UK government introduced a bill to ban online videos of sex acts it deems “non-conventional,” and suggested the potential for profiling porn viewing habits of citizens under the guise of protecting children. Consensual joys like fisting, spanking and face-sitting would shift from personal freedoms to forbidden privileges. Natural, biological functions like female ejaculation could soon be illegal to film. The ban seems to target practices found in—but not exclusive to—the BDSM scene, a scene often praised for its cathartic, therapeutic benefits, as well as a strong sense of community.

Catharsis and psychological well-being can be applied to all sexual acts practiced by any given orientation or identity. Pleasure, itself, is the equalizer when discussing sex and gender. Access to pleasure is a different conversation, but it shouldn’t be. Everyone’s access to pleasure is at stake to varying degrees.

If porn viewing habits are policed, regulated, and profiled, what is deemed “normal” and what is “abnormal?”

What happens to those who fall into the “abnormal” category? One best-case scenario might mean restricted access, completely oppressing a citizen’s liberation, expression and identity. This is not unfamiliar to queers, or anyone not falling under the heterosexual umbrella.

However, according to the proposed UK law, even heterosexuals are targeted, for the bill focuses on the act, not the genders of those involved.

Sexual censorship usually is less about the acts themselves, which already have their own legal procedures, but more about what is shared in a public forum, what is written and what is thought. This is where the latest rash of sexual policing becomes tricky. The legalities surrounding rape, child abuse, incest and so on would be on par with consensual acts, heteronormative or otherwise. However, this isn’t new. Sex (or what is considered obscene) has always been a cornerstone subject of all hierarchical social structures. The history of sodomy laws, which still stand in many regions around the globe, is a perfect example of a consensual act deemed unlawful. Let us Americans not forget this in the wake of same-sex marriage legalization.

Pleasure is a Weapon

The proposed porn restrictions in the UK—which are considered likely to become law this spring, by the way— could be a foreshadowing of our fate in the USA, with Trump promising to also crack down on “perversions.” Back in August, he signed the Children’s Internet Safety Presidential Pledge that asked presidential candidates to “prevent the sexual exploitation of children online” and to “make the internet safer for all.”

The key lies in that second promise.

Within context of the pledge agreement, it sounds great—but within the context of the organization that developed the pledge, Enough is Enough, it connotes a bit more. Enough is Enough considers porn a “national health crisis.” Enough is Enough advocates “porn-free wifi” that censors whatever it deems pornographic, as well as problematic sexting laws that can (and have) registered minors consensually engaging in erotic correspondence as sex offenders, or even put them behind bars.

Such is the issue with the well-intentioned law enforcement around sex.

How can something as ordered and rigid as the law account for the very complex situation that is human sexuality? Laws become arbitrary (Google “the four-finger rule,” for starters) or flawed (as with sexting).

Pleasure is a portal—an expression of political, spiritual and biological liberation. Therefore, it is dangerous. While the weaponization and politicization of the body and its functions may not be how we ideally see ourselves, it’s certainly how the government sees us. Trump may be “fine” with same-sex marriage, but he is not fine with reproductive rights or Planned Parenthood. Ultimately, the toughest part of the battle is overcoming one’s own personal stigmas with their own sexuality, and many politicians seem unable to do so.

As Eric Larrabee states in The Cultural Context of Sex Censorship, “Of all forms of sex censorship, that of the individual psyche—which sees to it that some things simply cannot be said, even to oneself—is undoubtedly the most effective.” Our culture’s complex relationship with sexual desire is riddled with guilt—religious or otherwise—and laced with a capitalist’s gaze of using flesh as advertising scheme, cheapening sexual autonomy. To combat governmental sexual censorship, every individual must first combat their self-imposed restrictions, judgments and fears.

The personal is political, and pleasure is rebellion. Enjoy.

How to

Have Drama-Free Group Sex

BY HUNTER RILEY

W

e all know the trope: Two people are in a relationship, and they want to have a threesome. They feel excited. Giddy, even. And when that magical person (or people) comes into their lives, they get down to business. But then someone stumbles over a boundary they didn’t know about or someone finds a field of insecurities hiding in this unexplored land and boom—group sex stops, and someone is upset.

This is a hypothetical representation, but situations like these do happen. I’ve seen it happen, I’ve been the one crying in the corner and I’ve been there when it happens to someone else.

While it’s hard to get exact numbers, I can say with confidence based on my experience as a sex educator at Self Serve in Albuquerque that having a threesome is one of the more common sexual fantasies. But it’s also one of the experiences that, if not carefully planned, can go horribly awry. Sex can be complicated enough between two people and becomes infinitely more complicated the more people you add.

As a non-monogamous person who enjoys group sex, this is one of my favorite things to nerd out on and “research.”

There are so many different combinations of people and bodies that it’s kind of like an endless sexy puzzle. But, before I dive in, I have to find the boundaries and set the scene.

Depending on your situation when you decide to explore group sex, keep these elements in mind:

»» Is everyone there because they want to be there? Sometimes people have a threesome just because their partner wants to, and that can end very badly, so make sure everyone involved is a “Hell yes!” and not an “I guess so.” It’s ok to be a little nervous, and it’s ok to try it out and not like it. Just know you will increase your likelihood of an A+ super-fun sexy time if everyone wants to be there. »» Safer sex is also very important, and can get complex. It’s important that everyone get on the same page about safer sex boundaries before anyone gets naked. Do you use barriers for oral sex? What about using gloves if you’re using your hands? When was everyone last tested, what were you tested for and what were the results? The safer sex elevator pitch is a good place to get a lot of these details settled between everyone involved.

Ideally, this would happen well before the sex happens. I recommend having an initial meeting where sex isn’t even on the table just to see if everyone is a good match. Once you’ve discussed boundaries, consent and safer sex, pick a separate time to meet up and get down. »» Consider everyone’s boundaries. It’s ok to start small and work up to something else.

If you want to go to a sex party and just watch, that’s totally OK! If you want to go to an orgy, and you decide that you both can participate

Fulfill fantasies without leaving someone crying in the corner

in oral sex with others, but maybe save penetration for the partner you came with, there’s no shame in that. In swing culture there’s a thing called sameroom sex vs. full swap. Same room is where you and your partner have sex in the same room as another couple, full swap is where you swap partners completely. What you define as “sex” is up to the people present. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you want to start slow, but it’s important to make sure that everyone is on the same page about the pace before it begins. »» It’s also extremely important to make sure everyone feels cared-for and respected. It’s been known for a couple to invite a third person into their bedroom, but they don’t treat that person like a human being, so they end up feeling like a

sex toy. If you are part of a couple and have specific boundaries around what you want your partner to do or not do with other people, make those boundaries explicitly clear before anyone is naked. If your boundaries don’t feel good to the person you’re inviting, they can decline the offer and find something that better fits their needs. »» Finally, one of the biggest hurdles for people experimenting with group sex is actually doing the thing. People feel nervous and no one initiates. It happens a lot, and can take practice to get comfortable initiating. I often recommend starting off trading massages or taking a sexy shower. This helps initiate touch and intimacy, and it gets people more grounded in their bodies.

It’s also not uncommon for people with penises to lose or not get erections. That’s ok too! Use your fingers, mouth or sex toys to start off, and let your dick take a break.

While group sex can take some time to negotiate, the benefits, for those who are into it, are many! It’s nice to have a team of people ready to lend a helping hand (or two) and it’s fun to experiment with body mechanics. For some people, it can be incredibly rewarding to see someone they love experience pleasure with other people, or see someone enjoy their partner’s sexual abilities.

There’s lots to be said for adding people to your bedroom, just make sure you take time and care to set yourself up for success.

Don’t worry boys, these sexy shops haven’t left you bare. Modern Aphrodite offers tight

Blue Line Red Furry makes them for $34 and $47, Cuffs respectively. They also make a racier sheer paneled option ($40.95).

If you want to serve something to eat right off you, try Arcade News’ edible Kandy Undies for Him ($22.95). They are literally made of candy necklaces— yes, the kind you ate in elementary school. Be careful, we foresee this string bikini of candy being sticky insofar as the hair situation, especially upon removal. Or try the Couples Sweet Surrender His and Hers Edibles ($16.95). The box set comes with candy panties for both of you, so nobody goes to bed hungry.

Romance and massages do each other good and you can ramp up your usual rub-down routine with some edible oil. Arcade News has a few options and many flavors. The Wet Fun Flavors ($21.95) is more of a lubricant, but the gal working the shop says it’s most popular. They have warming options too, like Body Heat,

which comes in watermelon, cinnamon, piña colada, cherry and blue raspberry, all $8.95. Or strawberry Tingle Gel ($19.95), which seemed the gooiest option, but hey, maybe that’s what you’re seeking. They carry Nipplicious ($10.95), a nipple arousal gel, in watermelon also. (Damn, people like watermelon.)

A massage with warming, edible oils may be just the sugar you’ve been asking Cupid for.

The lubricants at Modern Aphrodite may not be flavored, but they do have Lelo Personal Lubricant ($15), which is water-based so it’s not sticky. It comes in a sleek bottle that will look nice on your nightstand. The Lena Street boutique also offers games that can help you and your partner out of your rut and into adventure. Try Sexy Truth or Dare ($14) or Intimate4Play ($14), a board game that inspires more intimate interaction.

As we all know, love is not all about sex. It’s really largely about caring for someone else, and making them feel good. About being in peace with another human, and liking it more than the same peace alone. And we’ll be damned if hot tubs don’t feel good and bring soakers a heap of peace. You can your lover can take a 50-minute dip in one of the outdoor Ojitos at Sunrise Springs Spa Resort (242 Los Pinos Road, 780-

8145) for $45.

The resort and spa’s property has long been a destination for R&R. In fact, it used to be the final stop before arriving in Santa Fe along the El Camino Real Tierra Adentro, a trade route running between San Juan Pueblo (now Ohkay Owingeh) and Mexico City from the 1590s until the 1880s.

Today, it’s a beautiful place where you can sit in steamy water and overlook the natural spring. The square tubs feature smooth flagstone interiors and are just across the hall from eucalyptus steam showers, which are really nice on dry desert skin. This is New Mexico, so we know you’re as turned on by water as we are. And soaking in these Ojitos overlooking an oasis with your BAE is an especially hot combo.

If you’re more a nature buff, the Spence Hot Springs (Hwy. 4, Jemez Springs) are probably your speed. Just a few minutes up a hill (and well-marked trail) from a parking lot off Hwy. 4 that sits about an hour and a half north of Santa Fe, these tiered natural tubs are particularly spectacular on a cold day, when they pour steam. It may be a bit out of town, but there is free treasure: soaking in the middle of the mountains.

They are pretty well-known (search for them online and find easy directions, and photos to tempt you). Bet on spectacular views, but not privacy. In other words, leave the cinnamon oils at home for later, but maybe bring a picnic.

Be safe. Make love. Forget about the world for a while.

SHELL YES Though often dismissed by those not in the know, there are a handful of examples within the anime style so excellently crafted that they withstand derision. Ghost in the Shell is such a film. We follow The Major, a cyborg cop with a few secrets up her sleeve. As she and her partner track down a devious hacker called the Puppet Master, who can hack into other cyborgs at will, she begins to question her own origins and relationship to humanity. Find out why it’s been such a popular film since ’95 at this special screening. Plus, there are briefcase guns and invisibility suits, so… (ADV)

MUSIC FRIDAY/10 DREAM, DREAM, DREAM You may have read about attorney Allegra Love’s Santa Fe Dreamers Project in our “Dreams on Wheels” cover story last August—but in case you aren’t familiar, Love helps young undocumented immigrants navigate the labyrinth of paperwork needed to become American citizens and represents families in refugee and asylum cases­­­. This is obviously a hugely important issue at the moment. Enter DJs Jonathan Ray, Justin Mayrant and Hedonism Bot with House Sanctuary, their upcoming benefit for the Dreamers Project.

All y’all can get down with house jams and support a good cause, so let’s make it happen.

COURTESY DEVENDRA BANHART

MUSIC MONDAY/13 INDIE BLISS When we see live music, we want to lose ourselves in the performance. We want to be taken away from this world for a while. And that’s exactly the kind of performance we can expect from indie-folk superstar Devendra Banhart, whose dreamy stage presence and warm vocals enchant his audiences. The soft-toned, bearded brunette spent the formative years of his life in Venezuela with his mother, and you can catch South American tones in his melodic chord progressions if you listen closely. He’s hot off the release of his newest album, Ape in Pink Marble, so expect him to play some new tunes—as well as those he’s known for, like “Carmensita.”

(Maria Egolf-Romero) Devendra Banhart: 7 pm Monday Feb. 13. $25-$30. Meow Wolf, 1352 Rufina Circle, 395-6369.

MUSIC THURS/9

Go Deeper

This Georgia quartet is our new fave band Until now, the most exciting thing we could possibly say for Athens, Georgia, was that The B52s hailed from there, but indie-rock quartet Deep State is putting Athens back on the map with their kickass style. With a sound akin to lesser-known indie wunderkinds like San Jose’s Hard Girls or West Virginia’s Rozwell Kid collaborating with the psych-rock explosion of LA’s Foxygen and then taking songwriting cues from bigger acts like Superdrag and/or early Alkaline Trio (think Goddamnit, but more fleshed out and less goofy-sinister), Deep State marries infectious pop hooks and Lennon-esque vocal melodies with ’60s pop edges just rough enough to hold onto that rock ’n’ roll cred, but song structures totally tight enough to keep it pro and engaging.

Deep State brings this sound, along with new and improved jams from their forthcoming album, Friendship Fever (slated for an April release), to Zephyr on Thursday. It’s a style that perfectly aligns with the DIY/garage-ish aesthetic of the little Southside venue that could, and a perfect event for mid-to-late-’90s indie/emo fans looking to recapture

some of the magic from that era while still valuing innovation and slightly weird elements.

To put it lightly, this is exactly the kind of band we need coming through town, and we’ve gotta hand it to Zephyr for filling a niche some of us have desperately missed (OK, it’s me— I’ve missed bands like this). For now, look up Deep State (soundcloud.com/ deepstate or deepstate.bandcamp.com) and remember a time when you looked forward to intimate rock or punk shows in little venues run by people who just wanted to book bands that sound awesome.

Local support comes in the form of songwriting duo The Hammeritz and SFR Album of the Year 2016 winner Flamingo Pink! who, we hear, will get back to her acoustic roots for this show after recent fantastic forays into emotional synth tunes. (Alex De Vore)

Twelve reasons to love Sex on Vinyl XII

ALL AGES This marks the very first year that SoV plans to include an all-ages component, which Moore has cleverly subtitled “Start ‘em Young, Rave ‘em Right” so as to dispel any concerns about the whole use of the word “sex” for parents who’d like to think that sex is dirty for some reason (y’all should relax). According to Moore, the hours from 6-9 pm will be totally family-friendly. “It’ll be feel-good music and maybe some tracks that are more recognizable to youngsters,” Moore says.

“If a song by Lin-Manuel Miranda from that movie Moana winds up in there, I wouldn’t be surprised.”

COLLABORATION SoV ignores set times and time slots for a 100-percent-collaborative show. The idea being that Moore and her cohorts for the night, DJs Oona and Stadenco, will all perform at once, thereby creating an organic mix of differing styles that add up to some pretty interesting possibilities.

Second Street Brewery is opening a third location in town, this time down in the Siler Road area at 2920 Rufina St. (We still want people to call it SiDi.) So how is this musically notable? I’ll tell you—jeeze! Matron Records/Future Scars founder Eliza Lutz (who will apparently be in every issue of SFR forever because she’s always doing awesome stuff) will book the music. Lutz told us she’ll focus more on rock and heavier fare and variety in her effort to provide a mid-sized venue.

Shows will reportedly occur two to four times a month, which we’re all about … with respect to Americana. Kind of.

¡Doce! ove and Sex issue—Sex on Vinyl XII… It’s apt, no? Indeed.

In fact, DJ Melanie Moore’s annual DJ-palooza reaches 12 years old this weekend, and 12 is pretty nuts. That’s, like, a 7th grader, man. That’s, like, a human within a few years of driving.

That’s longer than most of us have done anything. I’ve always admired her oldschool aesthetic in a new-school world.

She’s way more about good old-fashioned music shared through dance parties rather than whatever weird internet thing I’ve never heard of that kids are using to share jams with these days. I personally hope it’s some floating cube I just haven’t heard about yet. What was I talking about? Oh yeah—Sex on Vinyl XII is here, and I’ve broken down 12 reasons to consider it for your Saturday night goings-on.

FIRST

And it’ll look a whole lot like this.

IMPROV “It’s like a band who never rehearsed once coming together for one night of music,” Moore tells SFR. Swish.

CAN’T STOP, WON’T STOP “Once we get going, the music won’t stop,” Moore says. “There will be no pausing and no breaks.” Double-swish.

BIPARTISAN MIX With DJ 12 Tribe spinning hip-hop, R&B and more in the upstairs SkyLab, Moore expects a good mix in the crowd. “When we reached out to [owner] Joe Ray Sandoval about Skylight being our home theater, he knew that Sex on Vinyl would mix well with the other things they do there,” she says.

PHYSICAL MEDIA “No laptops,” Moore points out. “It’ll be mostly vinyl. … We won’t have anybody staring at a computer.” Instead, Moore says to expect six turntables and maybe a few CDJs (Google it if you don’t know— I’ve got a word count here).

IN THE ROUND Moore says that she and her fellow DJs plan to set up on the floor with the people.

“It invites them to see the breadth of the technology and the technicalities of DJing.”

EMIARTE FLAMENCO Celebrated flamenco dancer La Emi is scheduled to appear and dance, and she’s, like, mind-blowingly good.

BELLA GIGANTE Moore says that at some point, local drag queen Belle Gigante just might appear and

seamlessly join in on the action with some of her patented vocals.

SUPPORT “This is the first time we’ll support a cause with proceeds from the merch,” Moore tells SFR. “Stadenco and I used to work on this party in New York City with a friend and collaborator named Wendy Herm who was recently diagnosed with cancer. … Some of the proceeds from merch will go to the American Brain Tumor Association.”

HEALING GROUND “We’re going to try to be uplifting and to meet on the dance floor, regardless of what happens in our personal lives in an uncertain world,” says Moore. “The power of music can elevate us.” This also means representatives from Mountain Spirit Integrative Medicine, Balance Point Therapeutics and Undisputed Fitness will be on hand to remind us all to try and take care of ourselves.

HARD WORK “The hardest part is coming up with innovative and compelling reasons to get my old-school crowd out to the show along with the new-school crowd,” Moore says. “I want to resonate with longtime supporters and speak to the new people who are maybe just now finding out about Sex on Vinyl.”

SEX ON VINYL XII All-Ages: 6-9 pm; Adults Only: 9 pm Saturday Feb. 11. $10-$15.

JUSTICE IN PROCESS With an eye towards intersectionality, Santa Fe Art Institute reimagines its residency program

BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart

I

n the political turmoil of the past weeks and months, the staff at the Santa Fe Art Institute (1600 St. Michael’s Drive, 424-5050) has had personal links to some of the biggest headlines. Former participants of the SFAI Residency Program are spread out across the globe, and they’re taking decisive action. “One of our residents is a lawyer who went to JFK to provide legal help for people affected by the immigration ban,” says Robert Gomez Hernandez, SFAI’s communications and development director. “Former residents marched for women’s rights in Paris, and across the United States.”

SFAI’s interdisciplinary residency is specifically designed to react to the rollercoaster of current events. For the past three years, each round of residents has embraced a topical theme during their stay at the institute. The current program, which began last fall and runs through July, centers on water rights—an issue that has played a huge role in the national public discourse this year. As SFAI’s staff puts together spring programming with its current residents, they’re also looking ahead to their most ambitious theme yet.

Their 2017/2018 residency is titled Equal Justice, and has inspired the institute to make dramatic shifts to its structure.

“This program is a unique platform in Santa Fe, because we support artists

whose work is in progress,” says Jamie Blosser, SFAI’s executive director. This approach allows for unusual flexibility in the format of each residency. Last November, SFAI deployed four of the program’s current residents to the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota for a week. That’s a significant block of time to be out of residence, particularly for a program whose participants stay from one to three months.

However, the expedition brought knowledge from a significant water rights battleground into the program’s sphere.

Resident photographer Andrew Williams, who has chronicled the effects of the California drought for years, made portraits of Dakota Access Pipeline protesters and documented their stories.

“It’s really about the investigative process for the residents,” says Residency Program Manager Toni Gentilli. “We don’t put expectations on them for a particular end product. They apply with a project proposal … but we allow that to incubate, percolate and organically grow.”

Back in Santa Fe, several program participants have been exploring Southwestern water rights by literally walking through waterways in and around the city. It’s a subtle, multilayered issue. Water, if it’s allowed, can flow through fences and across borders; water rights aren’t nearly as fluid, and they’re dictated by barriers both physical and legal.

To tackle such complex topics (food justice and immigration/emigration are

previous themes), SFAI seeks out a diverse cohort of 60 to 70 residents for each cycle. Several New Mexicans make the cut each year, along with applicants from around the nation and the world. Fifteen residents can live and work at the institute at a time, while local participants usually maintain studio space there but live elsewhere. Throughout their stay, residents teach workshops, run exhibitions and programs in the institute’s gallery space, and work with the program’s community partners to explore the chosen theme.

These residencies have been a central undertaking of SFAI since the institute’s founding in 1985, and they’ve primarily accepted artists and writers. In the past few years, however, residencies have broadened to accept practitioners of many other disciplines. “We’re realizing that for us to really dig into these themes each year, we need to stop siloing,” says Blosser.

Intersectionality is an even higher priority for SFAI’s 2017/2018 cycle. For the Equal Justice residency, the staff hopes to bring many different streams of knowledge into a single channel in search of ways to engage systems of power and foster social and racial equity. “We’re inviting people from all across the board—in law, in education, in health care—to bring their specializations and organically interact with each other,” Gentilli tells SFR. “We want to look at ways to share information between disciplines, to deal with these issues in new and creative ways.”

The theme also marks a big change in the residency’s operations. It costs SFAI $4,000 per person to run the program, and residents are typically asked to pay

From artist/immigration lawyer/Santa Fe Art Institute resident Carolina Rubio MacWright’s recent performance, We Are All Immigrants Here, which featured the clothing of documented and undocumented immigrants.

$1,000 to participate. Blosser says about 60 percent of residents are already offered assistance in covering the tuition, but the Equal Justice program will fully subsidize that cost for every participant.

Though the program still doesn’t offer a stipend, SFAI hopes that lowering this economic hurdle will further broaden their pool of applicants.

“It felt like with the Equal Justice theme in particular, now is the time to go tuition-free,” Blosser says. “It’s a risk that we took. We want to do mission-driven work, and open the doors to as many people as possible.” SFAI is planning a series of workshops and fundraisers this spring to cover the added costs. Meanwhile, they’re reaching out to allies such as the Santa Fe Dreamers Project, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, the Southern Poverty Law Center and other local and national organizations to find potential applicants that they might not otherwise reach.

“It’s feels like across the world, and nationally, and locally, now is the time to act,” says Gomez Hernandez. “Our responsibility as a residency program is bringing people together that wouldn’t normally connect, and giving them the opportunity to share ideas and be more than their singular footprint.”

SFAI’s deadline for applications to the Equal Justice residency is Feb. 12; more information is available at sfai.org. The residency will run from September 2017 through July 2018.

Please elaborate on your suggestion that an open relationship could save a marriage.

Last week, I spoke at the Wilbur Theater in Boston and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Audience members submitted their questions on tiny cards before the show, allowing them to remain anonymous while forcing them to be succinct. Here are some of the questions I didn’t have time to get to at both events…

My girlfriend wants to explore her sexuality with another woman but be “heterosexually exclusive” with me. She wants me to have equal freedom but doesn’t think it’s fair for me to be with another woman. I am a heterosexual man. How can we achieve sexual equality?

An open relationship for her but a closed-on-a-technicality relationship for you?

Yeah, no. Want to achieve sexual equality?

Explore your sexuality with other women—as a single man.

I am a 50-year-old queer man who never really came out—except to people I’m cruising or fucking. Oh, and to my wife. Is there any social or political value to coming out now, in the shadow of a Trump presidency?

There’s tremendous social and political value to being out, whoever the president is. There’s also social and political risk, whoever the president is.

If you’re in a position to come out—and you must be, otherwise you wouldn’t be asking—not coming out is a moral failing.

When I’ve tried to do the fuck buddy thing, I’ve gotten attached. Any way to avoid that?

Only do the fuck buddy thing with Republicans.

I’m a 31-year-old straight female. I have an intermittent sexual relationship with a married polyamorous friend. Each time we hook up, he says he regrets it. But several months later, he will contact me and we will hook up again. Should I say no? What do you think is up?

Your friend’s head is what’s up—up his own ass.

Stop letting him stick his dick up yours. (P.S. His regret has me wondering if his marriage is actually open or if he’s cheating on his wife. If you’ve never discussed their polyamorous arrangement with her, that probably what’s up.)

Why are liberals okay with people self-identifying their gender but not their race? Aren’t both considered social constructs?

“If race and gender are both social constructs,” Evan Urquhart writes at Slate, “and if both have been built around observable biological traits, then what is the crucial difference that makes a felt gender identity a true one, but a felt racial identity fraudulent? The short answer is that most trans people and their allies suspect that transgender people are born that way.” (Google “Evan Urquhart,” “trans,” and “race” to read the rest of his essay.)

We just legalized weed here in Massachusetts!

Yay! How can I, as a consumer but industry outsider, help to ensure more diversity in the legal selling business?

Before the shops open, get in the face of your elected officials to make sure licenses are made available to pot entrepreneurs of color. Once legal weed shops are open, go out of your way to patronize pot shops owned by people of color and insist all legal weed shops employ people of color and pay a living wage. And once the profits start rolling in, demand that pot activists and shop owners stay in the fight to demand that people convicted of possessing or selling pot in the past—primarily POC—get full pardons and restitution.

Here’s an example: married couple, together a long time, low-conflict relationship, good partners. Spouse #1 is done with sex—libido gone, no interest in taking steps to restore it—but Spouse #2 isn’t done with sex. This can play out two ways: (1) Spouse #1 insists on keeping the marriage closed, and Spouse #2 opts for divorce over celibacy. (2) Spouse #1 allows for outside contact—they open the marriage up—and monogamy is sacrificed but the marriage is saved.

How do you get over the guilt of being a straight guy? I used to feel a lot of sexual shame from hearing that men are pigs all the time. I got over most of it, but I still have leftover shame. I want to be respectful of women without having to take responsibility for the actions of every asshole straight man out there.

As a gay man, I’m not responsible for the actions of Roy Cohn, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Peter Thiel.

Likewise, I deserve no credit for the accomplishments of Michelangelo, Alan Turing, and Stephen Sondheim. When you feel the shame and guilt welling up, all you can do is remind yourself that you’re not responsible for the piggishness of Donald Trump or the awesomeness of Chris Kluwe. (And just to complicate things: While most straight women hate straight male pigs, most straight women want their men to be pigs— but only now and then, and only for them. A dash of controlled/vestigial piggishness is a desirable trait, not a disqualifying one.)

What’s the healthiest way to address jealousy in a relationship with a jealous and confrontational partner?

The healthiest thing would be for your jealous and confrontational partner to address their issues with a therapist after you’ve dumped them.

Fuck, marry, kill: Donald Trump, Rick Santorum, Mike Pence.

Fuck everything, call off the wedding, kill myself.

I see you’ve resurrected your ITMFA campaign.

(Bragging rights: I got the Mass license plate ITMFA. The DMV tried to take it back when someone complained, and the ACLU won the case for me! I removed the plate, of course, after Obama won.) My question: If Trump is removed from office—if we “impeach the motherfucker already”—we’ll have Mike Pence. Do you really think he’d be any better?

We already have Mike Pence. And Pence, as awful as he is, oscillates within a predictable band of Republican awfulness. With a President Pence, we’ll get shitty Supreme Court nominees, attacks on queers and people of color, and fiscal mismanagement. With President Trump, we get all that plus war with Mexico and Australia. And you don’t have to remove your ITMFA buttons once Trump is removed from office—keep ’em on until Pence is impeached, too.

Speaking of impeachment: Four in 10 Americans support impeaching Trump. Nixon didn’t hit that number until 18 months into the Watergate scandal. And speaking of my ITMFA campaign: We’ve already raised $100,000 at ITMFA.org, with all proceeds going to the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and the International Refugee Assistance Project. Get your ITMFA hats, buttons, and T-shirts at ITMFA.org! (Coming soon: coffee mugs and stickers!)

DEAR READERS: Valentine’s Day is coming up.

This is your annual reminder to #FuckFirst—have sex and then go out to dinner. Don’t have a heavy meal, drink, eat some chocolate gut bomb of a dessert, and then write to me on the 15th whining about how you didn’t get laid on the 14th.

Fuck first! Or better yet, stay home and fuck all night on the 14th and go out to dinner on the 15th. You’re welcome.

What about the world of illustration drew you in (ha!) as opposed to other art forms??

I grew up reading comics and flipping through magazines like MAD and The New Yorker, so little drawings that told a story were always much more interesting to me than something hanging in a gallery. Plus, my dad drew a lot a little cartoons here and there and my grandfather got hired as an illustrator for Hallmark, so I guess they helped push me in that direction.

Um, have you guys seen the cover on this week’s issue? It’s pretty amazing, right? Right. See, when we started looking for super-rad indie artists to engage with, San Antonio, Texas-based Shelby Criswell was on the top of our list.

Criswell attended SFUAD, though they never graduated, but that hardly means they aren’t epically talented. I mean, look no further than the glorious dinosaurgy on the cover or the inside images in the issue.

You have a very specific style, I’d say. Was this always your style, or was it devloped over time?

Oh it’s definitely developed over time. I mean, I traced anime in middle school and wanted to write and draw mangas. Then I came across a bunch of independent comic artists like Daniel Clowes and Ben Passmore during and after high school and realized I should create my own style, something more me. If you look at my style from three years ago, even then I’d say it’s a huge jump.

Any words of wisdom for aspiring pro artists?

Don’t go into comics. It’s a terrible choice. You’ll end up dead in a pile of unpublished work and a pool of ink. But if you do, read a bunch of other comics before you even start to make your own. In fact, study everything you can in any field of art. Just go to the library, dammit! Go to events, support other artists and talk with them.

Vintage 101 STO RY BY M A R I A EG O L F - RO M E RO I L L U S T R AT I O N S B Y T H E A M I L I N A I R É

I

didn’t always have a reverence for vintage. But after I worked at Buffalo Exchange for a few years—influenced by my impeccably-dressed colleagues’ excitement any time a ’40s cocktail dress or ’50s cardigan came into the store—I caved for a dreamy lunar-print late-’50s dress, and I’ve never looked back.

In fact, I’m a little ashamed to admit my former lack of love for the classic, because hell if I wasn’t missing out.

The dress fit me like a second skin, and it wasn’t just luck—it was superior construction. The further back we go in history, the more clothing was made by hand by tailors and dressmakers rather than on assembly lines by machines. This also means a lot of vintage items received immaculate attention to detail. My manager at Buffalo Exchange (who rocked some of the finest classic dresses I have ever seen) once told me you can spot a nice vintage dress by turning it inside out. The seams and hems are finished with such skill, you could just as easily wear the dress this way as you could right side out.

“Vintage” is a term you can fairly apply to anything made between 1920 and 20 years before the current day. If it’s older than that, it’s considered antique. We are lucky in New Mexico, where the arid climate preserves cloth and helps ensure the survival of delicate fabrics. So, this is a really fun place to hunt if you know what

you’re looking for. Searching for vintage clothing is like mining for gold and, when you’re successful, you are rewarded with an irreplaceable gem nobody else can have. And since vintage clothing is highly sought-after, don’t expect to happen upon perfect finds on every trip to Savers (3294 Cerrillos Road, 919-7185). And of course, you must also be willing to shell out a bit of moolah at other places.

When it comes to style and spotting something with potential, you have to train your eye. There isn’t some formula I can provide, but there are some websites you can frequent to get the vintage vibe so the right things stand out on the racks.

Like shopspanishmoss.com. The site’s one-of-a-kind vintage offerings are curated to be classic and wearable, and are particularly good for newbies. If you don’t own anything vintage, something easy to wear and classic is a good place to start, like a cardigan or little black dress. You can also check either shopbackbite.com or bornabadseed.com, which mix vintage and new. Both are t-shirt-heavy and lean toward rocker aesthetics, so you can get a sense for what a 1970s leather jacket should look like. If it’s a dress you’re looking for, visit shopdesertvintage.com to get a sense for the silky goodness.

Once you find something you think is vintage, you can check its authenticity in a few ways. Pay close attention to the con-

struction to differentiate between a reproduction and the real thing; and remember those beautiful interior seams mentioned earlier.

Zippers are a good indicator of age, though they weren’t common in women’s garments until the 1930s. Zippers are found on clothing like blouses and dresses that don’t always have tags, and a metal zipper is a good sign the item may be pre-1960s. If you find something with plastic teeth, it could be even older than that. Check visforvintage.net for more detailed zipper tips.

Tags and labels are a vintage hunter’s treasure map, and you can date something like a concert tee pretty accurately with a quick online search. These same rules apply to Levi’s. vintagefashionguild.org has an encyclopedia’s worth of tags from

as many brands, all listed alphabetically.

If it’s jeans you’re after, go directly to the source at levistrauss.com and read their tips for spotting vintage denim on the Unzipped blog.

When you do happen upon that wearable piece of history, take care of it. These things are delicate, even in the desert, so baby them to the max. If you’re going to hang up a vintage item, use padded hangers. Pointy corners will be the death of your long-scouted ’60s embroidered peasant blouse. Woolite can be your best friend; just half a cap in a cold water bath can do wonders for that pleated skirt from the flea market.

When it comes to the “where” of hunting, there are a few local joints you can troll in hopes of happening upon a great find by luck, like Double Take (320 Aztec St, 989-8886), Art.i.fact (930 Baca St., 982-5000) or Ooh La La! Consignment (518 Old Santa Fe Trail, 820-6433). But if you’re serious about finding something authentic and totally awesome, there is only one choice. You can find mention of Santa Fe Vintage Outpost (202 E Palace Ave., 690-1075) and the genius of its owner, collector Scott Corey, in places like The New York Times and the Huffington Post. Corey’s Southside warehouse location was named number one on GQ’s list of Top 100 Coolest Off-the-Beaten-Path Shops in America in 2015. Oh, and it’s rumored to be a destination for designers (like Ralph Lauren) looking to shop for themselves.

On my most recent visit, I nearly bought a pair of ’60s selvage Levis. Alas, they weren’t high-rise enough for this crop top-lovin’ gal. But I spent nearly an hour in the downtown store that was bursting with morning light, making the racks of vintage textiles glow in all their glory. You can find blouses, kimonos, indigo scarves and puppy-ear-soft suede vests… all of which were well over $100, but like I said—these things are treasures.

Trumptails NEW DRINKS FOR A NEW POLITICAL ERA

I

asked my Facebook followers to help me come up with cocktails based on current events. Those demented comedians refused to come up with real drinks (except the Pussy Hat Potion), but their tortured wailings are pretty amusing nonetheless.

The Bitter and Jaded

This drink uses Chartreuse, the only naturally green liqueur in the world. It is wildly expensive, so here we swirl it in the glass and discard it, just like our democracy! The sweet, mysteriously herbal flavor of the Chartreuse lingers through the lemon and bubbles.

The gin will kill a pleasant number of brain cells.

• 1/2 ounce green Chartreuse • 1 1/2 ounces gin • 4 ounces sparkling wine • 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice • 3/4 ounce simple syrup • Garnish with lime twist

FOOD

BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

QUICK & DIRTY RECIPES Alternative Cocktail: Just a glass of water.

The Egg Noguration: All white and half full.

Pour the Chartreuse into a champagne flute, swirl it all around and then pour it out (or into the next flute and repeat). Pour the gin, lemon juice and simple syrup into the flute and top off with as much bubbly as you can fit in there.

Hot Toddy: Same as the original but you deny its temperature.

Tears of a Clown

The Bernie Sanders: 1 part each Crown Maple syrup, Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, absinthe and Goldschläger. It’s diverse and everyone gets an equal share.

• 1 empty vessel (any glass will do) • 1 hair dryer • 1 lukewarm America Beer (see: Budweiser) • 1 small bag Cheetos

Fill your empty vessel with hot air from the hair dryer.

Add lukewarm America Beer. Top with Cheetos.

Choke it down.

Pussy Hat Potion • 1 part mixed berry fruit juice • 1 part pomegranate vodka • Pink sugar • Lemon twist Moisten the rim of a martini glass with a slice of lemon, dip the rim in pink sugar. Shake fruit juice and vodka together with ice and strain into the glass.

Garnish with a tiny protest sign.

The Steve Bannon • 1 part Russian vodka • 1 part liberal tears • 1 part Coors Light Shake all ingredients well and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a toothpick cross that’s on fire.

The Drumpf: Equal parts circus peanuts and drain cleaner.

Serve with force.

The Hillary: A very fancy crystal highball glass with nothing in it.

The Inauguration: It’s a Moscow Mule.

The Mexican Mule: It’s behind a wall.

The British Mule: It’s a Moscow Mule you can’t get if you live in greater Europe.

The Syrian Mule: Not available on any flight for 90 days (maybe longer).

The Four-Year Hangover: One large bottle Russian vodka, chilled. Don’t bother with the glass. Take long drinks until you get a brain freeze.

Repeat for four years.

The Bloody Scary: Combine 4 ounces each of gin, rum and vodka. Add a dash of menstrual blood, if available—or, if you’ve already sent it all to Mike Pence, substitute beet supplement. Serve in a clear glass with salty rim and garnish with 1 foam finger emblazoned with “USA #1.”

Toast to Planned Parenthood while reading the Congressional Record and muttering to yourself.

The Scotch Alt-Rocks: Any cheap blended Scotch chilled by snowflakes.

The ACLU Brew: Served simultaneously in airports around the country. Divide $24 million worth of top-shelf Russian vodka into glasses and garnish with an undetermined number of green olives, aged (detained) for 90 days. Stir with the force of just under 3 million voters and serve with a bitter orange slice.

The Mar-a-Gago: Tastes like warm salt water, but the best salt water, I mean the greatest salt water, you’ve never had salt water so good. And the more you ignore climate change, the fuller and fuller the glass gets. So much Mar-aGago! You can’t drink it all!!

The How the F*#! DiD I End Up Here? Mix equal parts Jack Daniels, Everclear, absinthe, vodka, whiskey and gin.

Wake up someplace strange and scary with absolutely no idea how it happened.

The Fascist Sling: Muddle and strain with bitters a free amount of press. Disallow any and all foreign spirits. Add copious amounts of 1 percent Crony Christian Brothers Cornpone. Be careful not to spoil the drink with any organic matter or dangerous Mexican fruit, and garnish with as many American flags you can fit in the red, white and blue striped glass, which was made in China.

The KellyAnne: Take one part vodka, one part dry vermouth and add one alternative fact. Shake and stir with ice. Serve cold with a twist of orange.

The Richard Spencer: One can of good old AMERICAN-made clear beer.

Smash yourself in the face with the can really hard, fix hair, shed a tear.

Staying Vertical Review: Merde!

Ce film suce 4

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

It’s slightly jarring that Staying Vertical from French director Alain Guiraudie (Stranger by the Lake) just sort of starts out of nowhere, even more so when it jumps from scene to scene in a loosely structured series of vignettes tied to one another by a main character and seemingly little else. Said main character is Léo (Damien Bonnard), an in-over-his-head filmmaker who somehow fathers a child with a young shepherdess named Marie (India Hair) as he trawls the countryside searching for inspiration.

Fatherhood and farm girl sex are great ways to avoid deadlines to be sure, but their initial meeting boils down to opposing views on wolves as living creatures. Interesting foreplay, sure, but do we buy it? We do not.

Before you know it, we’re smack-dab in the middle of actual filmed sex acts and, gulp, a

real-life birth (it’s a close-up, by the way) which is, like, we know—the beautiful miracle of life and all that; just be aware you will observe a woman shit if you see this film. The rest relies on the subsequent troubles Léo faces for his procrastination, and while Staying Vertical is not boring per se—more tedious—it is the kind of slow-moving tripe that may only impress young film school students looking to round out their “I’ve seen foreign films!” cred.

For the rest of us, however, we’re left with a lot of scenes lacking dialog, numerous sunbleached shots of sad-eyed French folk and, perhaps most egregiously, the misinformation

that this was somehow supposed to be a comedy.

We know Americans can err toward the lowbrow, and maybe we just watched this thing wrong, but when one inevitably asks themselves why they bothered to direct their eyeballs at such a film, Staying Vertical seems to answer back: “We don’t know, either.”

THE SALESMAN

THE FOUNDER

THE SALESMAN

5

++ BEAUTIFULLY SHOT -- OH MY GOD, IT’S SO BORING

Iranian director Asghar Farhadi (A Separation) hasreceived much praise for his newest movie, The Salesman, but it’s difficult to understand why. We follow Rana and Emad Etesami (Taraneh Alidootsi and Shahab Hosseini), a young couple acting in a production of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman who unknowingly rent an apartment formerly inhabited by a prostitute. Rana is attacked in their home by a man looking for its former tenant, and Emad sets out to figure out who he was and how to exact revenge. It sounds like a relatively exciting premise, but it plays out as anything but. As the plot unfolds at sub-snail speed and Emad descends further into obsession—even at the potential cost of his relationship with his wife—we can’t help but wonder why they won’t, oh, I don’t know, call the police or something.

Rana seems to be stuck in a shame spiral, not wanting her neighbors or friends to perceive her as weak, and though we might assume this has something to do with cultural translation, it mostly leads to more questions: Why wouldn’t she want support? Why won’t Emad at least try 40

At a certain point, it isn’t even about justice so much as it’s about Emad’s misguided need to slake his revenge thirst, but even as he closes in on the attacker, the pacing is so painful-

++ MICHAEL KEATON; SECRET HISTORY IS FUN

-- DRAGS; NOBODY IS LIKABLE

Everyone has eaten at a McDonald’s at least once, but the actual story of how the mega-chain came to exist within a few miles of wherever you happen to be right now is slightly darker than the family-friendly style they’re selling. And even if you know the name Ray Kroc— the famous CEO of McDonald’s—from whatever secondhand history lesson, The Founder gives us the unabashedly true history of his rise to fast food billionaire: He was a blindly ambitious bastard who didn’t really care who he stole from or hurt as he single-mindedly pursued his own distorted version of success.

Michael Keaton practically disappears into Kroc, and we almost root for him as the film begins. But as he devolves from seemingly decent man into megalomaniacal cutthroat, even

“I don’t care if you’re named after the New Jersey town where we live, Paterson—you simpy must give me one of your patented temple kisses!” his wife Ethel (Laura Dern) is forced to ask him when enough will be enough. “Honestly?” he asks. “Probably never.”

It’s our first clue that his desire to be a big shot borders on an unhealthy obsession. When Kroc happens upon Dick and Mac McDonald (Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch) selling burgers at a then-unheard of speed, we do understand why he falls victim to his own impatient vision, but our sympathies soon fade.

Within a couple years, Kroc manages to sneakily wrest control out from under the McDonald brothers and completely crushes their decent ideals and business practices; there is seemingly nothing he won’t do, even stealing a franchisee’s wife (Freaks and Geeks’ Linda Cardinelli) while inwardly believing himself to be the hero of his own story.

Though interesting enough as a semi-unknown piece of Americana, The Founder tends to lag, dwelling too long on certain elements and flat-out glossing over others. If the goal was for us to understand Kroc’s behavior, we simply don’t. As a cautionary fable on the dangers of business and the aggressively ambitious, however, it’s perfectly fine—just don’t expect to feel much of anything for its key players. (ADV) Violet Crown, PG-13, 115 min.

PATERSON

++ WELL-ACTED; QUIETLY BEAUTIFUL -- WEAK ENDING; NOT FOR THE IMPATIENT

When I was a kid, my aunt bought an 1980s-era Mercedes; her dream car, and I started to notice them everywhere. A similar catalyst occurs in the life of Paterson (Star Wars’ Adam Driver) in the new film Paterson from auteur Jim Jarmusch (Only Lovers Left Alive, Dead Man), a sort of love letter to the New Jersey city of the same name, but also an examination of the enormity hidden in everyday human existence.

The mere suggestion of twins from Paterson’s live-in girlfriend Laura (Golshifteh Farahani) causes him to notice similar pairs everywhere, and it’s like a doorway to his constant observation of the beauty discoverable within the commonplace or mundane.

Paterson carries with him what he calls a “secret notebook” which he fills with poems based on the seemingly inconsequential moments and objects found in his day-to-day.

Something as simple as a box of matches flips a switch in Paterson’s mind, causing him to draw connections between the potentially ignited match and an almost painful love for Laura. Yet Paterson isn’t exactly what you’d call emotional, nor does he appear willing to open up to anyone.

It’s almost as if he were taught long ago to never rock the boat.

Jarmusch hides clues from his past throughout the film, such as a photo of Paterson in a Marines uniform or an obsession with the poet William Carlos Williams, whom we learn also hails from Paterson, but our hero seems more content to quietly drink in the world moving around him rather than engage or affect it in any particular way. It’s almost unnerving at first, but as coworkers complain and former lovers clash and his girlfriend perpetually changes her dream from interior decorator to country music superstar to cupcake master, we begin to appreciate his introverted nature for its dignified simplicity; Paterson is a good man.

There’s a comfort in his soft existence, and though Paterson ends with a whimper—and it would have been helpful to get a clearer idea of his origins—Jarmusch has tapped into an often-overlooked type of storytelling that favors relating a simple tale told well over spectacle or, even worse, the assumption that audiences can’t enjoy a film without nonstop explosions or CGI. Of course, that’s kind of Jarmusch’s whole deal, but whereas previous films in his repertoire have had some sort of borderline fantastic element lurking in the background (like vampires or mistaken identity), Paterson is a patiently executed microcosm that serves to remind us how sometimes the most beautiful minds toil in obscurity.

++ HISTORIC PHOTOS ADD TO SENSE OF CONTEXT

-- PUT DOWN THE SALEM, MOM

Jamie isn’t your average teenage boy raised by a single mom and coming of age in 1979. Or maybe he is. We join the unorthodox family in 20th Century Women as Jamie’s mom Dorothea (Annette Bening) is riddled with insecurity when she suddenly realizes she knows her teenage son (Lucas Jade Zumann) less every day.

So she enlists the help of seemingly every friend the two can claim. This includes their two housemates—Abbie (Greta Gerwig), a punkrock feminist with a killer record collection, and William (Billy Crudup), a hot hippie handyman with a sensitive streak. She also recruits Julie (Elle Fanning), Jamie’s longtime friend.

Together, they forge a sort of Montessori school wherein Jamie gets all kinds of manbuilding experiences and some straight-up doses of Life Ain’t Easy.

We were relieved Dorothea’s character comes across more like a real person than the over-dramatized TV mom she threatened to be. We want to be invited to one of her dinner CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

parties. We admire her tenacity. Her deeply wrinkled, mostly make-up-free face annotates the raw pain of her aloneness. As Jamie begins the move from boy to man, she’s more aware that there’s not one in her life.

It’s tiresome, though, to always see Dorothea with a cigarette clamped between two fingers.

We get it—people smoked all the time and wherever they wanted in the ’70s. Just maybe make it feel less like a dramatic crutch so we can laugh harder when she has to sneak one during William’s attempt to teach her how to meditate.

It makes us sigh with relief when Julie tries to teach Jamie how to “look cool” and he replies, after a few minutes of failed lessons: “Smoking’s gross.”

Some other jokes in this film elicit laughs not because you see, but because you know. What diagrams does Jamie see in his new copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves? What happens when he explains his newfound knowledge of the clitoris to his high-school peers? In the end, it’s clear they’re all raising each other—but then again, we kind of all are.

HIDDEN FIGURES

++ IMPORTANT HISTORY -- SOMETIMES HEAVY-HANDED

Here’s the thing—it’s kind of hard to not like Hidden Figures, at least insofar as it’s the simultaneous story of uncredited black women who were so awesome at their jobs that they literally made

safe space flight possible, yet they were treated so poorly amidst the racist atmosphere of 1960s Virginia that we’re all kind of like, “What the hell, man?!” That said, the overall tone seems a tad breezy for the subject matter. It could be that director/screenwriter Theodore Melfi wanted to tell the story, which was based on the book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly, in a palatable fashion, but you just know that the actual story was far more intense.

We mostly follow Katherine Goble/Johnson (Taraji P Henson), a lifelong math ultra-genius who works as a human computer for the space program at NASA with dozens of other black women. Along with her close friends/fellow NASA employees Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe), Katherine attempts to deduce the incredibly complex science needed to launch John Glenn into space. Of course, it’s the ’60s, and white people are basically the absolute worst, so even though Katherine can do any math that comes her way and Dorothy teaches her damn self how to program NASA’s newly-minted (and roomsized) IBM supercomputer and Mary is some kind of goddamn engineering phenom, they have to fight some pretty nasty racism on the part of people like lead engineer Paul Stafford (The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons) and supervisor Vivian Mitchell (a perfectly condescending and bitchy Kirsten Dunst).

Henson’s performance exists in the sweet spot between vulnerable mother and widow and complete badass, unafraid to excel at math or to fight for her race and gender. And though Spen-

Computer Help that Doesn’t Suck!

++ IT’S A GIRL HUNTING WITH AN EFFING EAGLE

-- WE MAY NOT GET THE WHOLE STORY

Forget Frozen. Just let it go. And ditch your heartbreak-turned-fury over the role sexism likely played in the recent presidential election.

Instead, let your thrill for a 13-year-old Mongolian girl named Aisholpan Nurgaiv soar above the ice-covered steppes of Mongolia in The Eagle Huntress, which has to be the girlpower movie of the year. The new Sony Pictures Classics documentary, narrated by Star Wars newcomer Daisy Ridley, tells the story of the traditional hunting bond between golden eagles and men from the Kazakh, a nomadic tribe that’s been around since before the days of Genghis Khan. But more than that, it’s how this young girl breaks the glass ceiling between verdant expanses and craggy mountains.

You see, like being president of the United States, eagle hunting in Mongolia is just for men.

And, boy howdy, even if you stopped reading the subtitles for a few minutes, you’d know how the men interviewed for the film really feel about Aisholpan’s interloping on their sausage fest.

Women are weak; they don’t have the courage to hold the bird; they should stay home and make tea for the hunters.

Her father, to be congratulated on his forward thinking and bold dedication to his daughter, sees past the gender barrier. “It’s not choice,” he explains, “it’s a calling that has to be in your blood.”

And it’s in hers. Aisholpan thus shows no fear, strapping on her fur-lined hat and trotting into town on her sturdy horse, arm extended as it becomes a perch for the avian predator. The bird’s wingspan is wider than she is tall, dwarfing the ruddy-cheeked girl with each restless flap. She

pets its head as if it were a house cat, talking all the while with praise and comfort. Oh, and by the way—she had to rappel down a cliff side and snatch the eaglet from its nest. Then months of training. No bigs.

What majestic footage: the grace of the powerful wings alighting from the edge of the mountain, the expressions on the old dudes’ faces as she earns perfect scores at the region’s annual eagle festival as the youngest competitor and the first-ever female. It is a trip for the imagination to look inside yurts and back to stone goat enclosures, across barren snowscapes and through villages with stumpy homes and smoky corridors.

See too the textures of the textiles, the steam from the mouths of beasts, and the expressive faces not just of the starring eagles, but the scruffy horses and bleating lambs.

We dare you to watch impassively as father and daughter ride off together after Aisholpan passes the ultimate test of recognition for a hunter: catching a fox in the snowy mountains.

The Eagle Huntress is a great winter movie that stands to touch the coldest chambers of heart with fierce inspiration. Grab it with your talons. (JAG) Violet Crown, G, subtitles, 87 min

Peer to P e

cer and Monáe prove indispensable to the pacing and overall feel of Hidden Figures, some of the impact of the real-world achievements made by the women they portray winds up dissipated as they’re relegated to periodic bits of comic relief.

Still, it is Katherine’s story, and there’s much to enjoy here. The sting of racism cuts deep even now, and we must never forget that these people literally had to be complete geniuses and fight their asses off to receive even a modicum of respect. Don’t be surprised if Hidden Figures becomes required viewing for students down the road at some point and, we hope, we start to get other films about the incredible people of color throughout history who perhaps didn’t get the recognition they so obviously deserved.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of February 8th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your reputation is in a state of fermentation. Will this process ultimately produce the metaphorical equivalent of fine wine or else something more like pungent cheese? The answer to that question will depend on how much integrity you express as you wield your clout. Be as charismatic as you dare, yes, but always in service to the greater good rather than to self-aggrandizement. You can accomplish wonders if you are saucy and classy, but you’ll spawn blunders if you’re saucy and bossy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Even if you’re not an occult wizard or pagan priestess, I suspect you now have the power to conjure benevolent love spells. There’s a caveat, however: They will only work if you cast them on yourself. Flinging them at other people would backfire. But if you do accept that limitation, you’ll be able to invoke a big dose of romantic mojo from both your lower depths and your higher self. Inspiration will be abundantly available as you work to reinvigorate your approach to intimacy and togetherness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Using a blend of warfare and diplomacy, Napoleon extended French control over much of Western Europe. In 1804, he decided to formalize his growing sovereignty with a coronation ceremony. He departed from tradition, however. For many centuries, French kings had been crowned by the Pope. But on this occasion, Napoleon took the imperial crown from Pope Pius VII and placed it on his own head. Historian David J. Markham writes that he “was simply symbolizing that he was becoming emperor based on his own merits and the will of the people, not because of some religious consecration.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Taurus, you have the right to perform a comparable gesture. Don’t wait for some authority to crown you. Crown yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Here’s some advice from Scorpio writer Norman Rush: “The main effort of arranging your life should be to progressively reduce the amount of time required to decently maintain yourself so that you can have all the time you want for reading.”

It’s understandable that a language specialist like Rush would make the final word of the previous sentence “reading.” But you might choose a different word. And I invite you to do just that. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to devotedly carve out more time to do The Most Important Thing in Your Life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Have you heard the fable about the four blind men who come upon an elephant for the first time? The first man feels the tail and declares that the thing they’ve encountered must be a rope. The second touches one of the elephant’s legs and says that they are in the presence of a tree. The third strokes the trunk and assumes it’s a snake.

Putting his hand on a tusk, the fourth man asserts that it’s a spear. I predict that this fable will NOT apply to you in the coming weeks, Gemini. You won’t focus on just one aspect of the whole and think it’s the whole.

Other people in your sphere may get fooled by shortsightedness, but you will see the big picture.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Sixteenth-century Italian painter Titian was renowned for his brilliant use of color. He was also prolific, versatile, and influential. In 2011, one of his paintings sold for $16.9 million. But one of his contemporaries, the incomparable Michelangelo, said that Titian could have been an even greater artist if he had ever mastered the art of drawing. It seems that Titian skipped a step in his early development. Is there any way that your path resembles Titian’s, Sagittarius?

Did you neglect to cultivate a basic skill that has subtly (or not so subtly) handicapped your growth ever since?

If so, the coming weeks and months will be an excellent time to fix the glitch.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Our obsessive use of digital devices has diminished our power to focus.

According to a study by Microsoft, the average human attention span has shrunk to eight seconds—one CANCER (June 21-July 22) For now, at least, your brain second less than that of a typical goldfish. I’m guessing, though, that you Capricorns will buck this is your primary erogenous zone. I suspect it will be trend in the coming weeks. Your ability to concentrate generating some of your sexiest thoughts ever. To be may be exceptional even by pre-Internet standards. I clear, not all of these erupting streams of bliss will directly involve the sweet, snaky mysteries of wrapping hope you’ll take opportunity of this fortunate anomaly to get a lot of important work and play done. your physical body around another’s. Some of the erotic pleasure will come in the form of epiphanies that AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The time is now, Brave awaken sleeping parts of your soul. Others might arrive Aquarius. Be audacious about improving the big little as revelations that chase away months’ worth of things in your life. (That’s not a typo. I did indeed use confusion. Still others could be creative breakthroughs the term “big little things.”) For example: Seek out or that liberate you from a form of bondage you’ve demand more engaging responsibilities. Bring your wrongly accepted as necessary. penetrating questions to sphinx-like authorities. Go in search of more useful riddles. Redesign the daily rhythm LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Human beings upload 300 to better meet your unique needs. Refuse “necessary” hours of videos to Youtube every minute of every day.

Among that swirling flow is a hefty amount of footage boredom that’s not truly necessary. Trust what actually works, not what’s merely attractive. Does all that seem devoted exclusively to the amusing behavior of cats. too bold and brazen for you to pull off? I assure you that Researchers estimate there are now more than two it’s not. You have more clout than you imagine. You also million clips of feline shenanigans. Despite the stiff have a growing faith in your own power to make subtle competition, I suspect there’s a much better chance than usual that your cat video will go viral if you upload fundamental shifts. (That’s not a typo. I did indeed use it in the coming weeks. Why? In general, you Leos now the term “subtle fundamental shifts.”) have a sixth sense about how to get noticed. You know what you need to do to express yourself confidently and attract attention—not just in regards to your cats, but anything that’s important to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) I know you haven’t literally been wrestling and wrangling with a sweaty angel. But if I were going to tell a fairy tale about your life lately, I’d be tempted to say this: Your rumble with the sweaty angel is not finished. In fact, the best and holiest part is still to come. But right now you have cosmic permission to take a short break and rest a while. During the lull, ratchet up your determination to learn all you can from your friendly “struggle.” Try to figure out what you’ve been missing about the true nature of the sweaty angel.

Vow to become a stronger advocate for yourself and a more rigorous revealer of the wild truth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) “Love does not at first mean merging, surrendering, and uniting with another person,” wrote the poet Rilke, “for what would a union be of two people who are unclarified, unfinished, and still incoherent?” That’s an excellent meditation for you to entertain during the Valentine season, Pisces. You’re in the right frame of mind to think about how you could change and educate yourself so as to get the most out of your intimate alliances. Love “is a high inducement for the individual to ripen,” Rilke said, “to become something, to become a world for the sake of another person.” (Thanks to Stephen Mitchell for much of this translation.)

Homework: Don’t get back to where you once belonged.

Go forward to where you’ve got to belong in the future.
