NEWS, JUNE 14: “NEW KOCH”

KEEP DREAMIN’ My thanks to the SF Reporter and Matt Grubs for speaking with me about the great work that we do at Americans for Prosperity - New Mexico. We exist to recruit, educate, and mobilize citizens in support of the policies and goals of a free society at the local, state and federal level, helping every American live their dream— especially the least fortunate.

BURLY CAIN VIA FACEBOOK

WELFARE RECIPIENTS Yes, the only reason [the Kochs] are successful is from an insane amount of corporate welfare. If we all got the kinds of tax breaks and other subsidies given to Koch Industries, we’d be rich too! Americans for Prosperity—give me a break. A “free society” with less government means all those tax breaks and subsidies for the Koch brothers and other wealthy elites would be gone!

ROXANNE BARBER SFREPORTER.COM

JUST LUDICROUS It is ludicrous to say that people believe the Koch brothers are evil because they are successful. Being born on third base and telling everyone you hit a home run hardly qualifies one as being successful regardless. ... What this family is successful at is being major polluters, employee abuse and purveyors of extreme libertarian propaganda through over 40 organizations they hide behind. They wish to peddle their candidates to produce results that benefit them to the detriment of the hard-working people of New Mexico and our children.

NEWS, JUNE 14: “LONG HOT SUMMER”

HEAR IT FOR THE GIRLS Aaron Cantú is right about the great need for more summer recreational and enrichment programs for youth. The city’s and the SFPS’s programs provide tremendous value but only reach a small portion of our 5- to 18-year-olds. Kids want activities that are meaningful and continue their academic, emotional and physical growth.

Girls Inc. of Santa Fe has a wait list of over 90 of girls for our current eightweek summer program for girls ages 5-18.

Registration fills long before the deadline each spring for enrollment, and if we had the facilitators, space, and money to run the programs, we could serve even more of Santa Fe’s girls now.

We’re embarking on a five-year growth plan to extend our reach from the current 500 girls to 1,500, and that’s for both school year and summer programs. ...

STEM subjects and principles, economic and social literacy, and healthy lifestyle choices are among the topics made fun and physical. We currently partner well with the mayor’s office and the SFPS, and want to do more for our Santa Fe girls.

LOUD NOISES Nobody cares about the residents who live under the approachway who have to hear loud disruptive noise overhead as private and commercial pilots fly low to give passengers an aerial view of the city. I am talking about egregiously low flights over residential neighborhoods on the west side/ Agua Fria, when pilots could just as well approach from the sparsely populated area between Cochiti and Las Campanas. City council could limit flyovers, but evidently they just don’t care. The result is increased tourism but a reduced quality of life for residents.

TALK IT OUT The airport needs to communicate more with the residents of La Cienega and La Cieneguilla regarding expansion and additional flights. I bought my property in La Cienega knowing I have an airport in my backyard but I also knew it was a small airport. I have no problem with additional commercial flights as long as there is consideration given for flight times and noise control. With the current schedule of commercial flights it is not a problem, but if we start having commercial flights taking off and landing earlier and later, well, that could become a problem for local residents, and their needs should be considered as well as the rest of Santa Fe.

The actual mission was founded in 1718. The building itself was started in 1744, but the inscription above the door says 1758 AVR—presumably Ave Maria Regina, “Hail Mary, Queen (of Heaven).” It is most famous and revered for the heroic but fatal stand of 1836 against General Santa Anna and his troops for independence from Mexico. The church fell into ruins, and after Texas joined the Union in 1845, the Army Quartermaster Corp rebuilt the façade and added the profile of the now famous parapet in 1850.

The indictment of journalist Aaron Cantú portends grim future for the First Amendment

B Y B AY N A R D W O O D S

D

ozens of defendants, each sitting with their own lawyer, fill a Washington, DC, courtroom, looking like college students wearing their nicest clothes for a job interview. It is far more serious than that.

They are all facing charges of felony rioting, conspiracy to riot and destruction of property on the morning of Donald Trump’s inauguration, when they were scooped up en masse by police with a controversial crowd-control technique which corrals protesters in a “kettle.”

This is only one of the four groups among the 215 defendants who have been indicted on nearly identical charges.

Many had to travel back to the District to be arraigned on June 2.

One man who traveled from Santa Fe is sitting with his lawyer off to the side. He wears a black suit and has a black goatee and identifies himself as Tejano. He looks around the room like he is taking notes.

Everyone else has already been arraigned before Judge Lynn Leibovitz. But this man, Aaron Cantú, wasn’t indicted until May 30, just a week before the hearing.

He is a journalist who has written about policing, propaganda, drugs and politics for The Intercept, Al Jazeera, The Baffler and many other publications. Reporting from the RNC on the possibility of a Trump presidency, Cantú wrote, “dream darker.”

Now, like the others being charged, he’s facing up to 75 years in jail.

As various protests spread through the city on the morning of the inauguration, one group used “black bloc” techniques— wearing all black and acting in concert to attack symbols of multinational capitalism in a semi-anonymous fashion—in an attempt to disrupt the spectacle of the event, breaking windows of businesses like Starbucks and Bank of America.

“Individuals participating in the Black Bloc broke the windows of a limousine parked on the north side of K Street NW, and assaulted the limousine driver as he stood near the vehicle,” the indictment reads, “as Aaron Cantú and others moved west on K Street NW.” These black blocs have received widespread media attention in America since 1999, beginning with the Battle of Se-

attle at the World Trade Organization summit. A black bloc action is newsworthy.

And yet, according to the indictment, Cantú is being charged for moving in proximity to the group he was covering.

The indictment alleges that Cantú wore black and discarded a backpack as further evidence of his part in the conspiracy. Because members of a conspiracy to riot wore black, anyone wearing black, it seems, is a member of the conspiracy.

It is a crazy, complicated, sprawling case involving evidence from somewhere around 200 cell phones and various cameras. The discovery process will take months.

We’re really not going to let this action by the federal government or by the prosecutors in Washington, DC, slow him down or to put a muzzle on his voice as a journalist.

-Julie Ann Grimm, editor/publisher, SF Reporter

In Washington, DC, criminal cases that elsewhere would be handled by the state are prosecuted by the US Attorney’s office—so each prosecutor here ultimately answers to the president of the United States. Although the charges were first brought by an Obama appointee, this is a perfect example of what justice may look like in the Trump era. Like the travel ban, it is a grand draconian gesture followed by a lot of confusion.

During the arraignment, prosecutor Jennifer Kerkhoff expressed concerns about finding herself in a “Brady trick

bag,” referring to the law that requires the prosecution to turn over all relevant evidence in discovery. How does she know what material on someone else’s phone might be relevant to another’s case? And how does the prosecution protect the privacy of co-defendants with data that is not relevant?

“Can I just stop you?” Judge Leibovitz says to Kerkhoff as she talks about efficiency. “You brought charges against 215 people.” She does not have to finish. Her look says, “So deal with it.”

Leibovitz set most of the trial dates for October 2018, so that all evidence can be properly dealt with.

“It’s concerning and confusing,” says Christopher Gowen, an American University law professor and partner at his own firm who was appointed to the case.

“The fact that we are already here and the amount of resources being spent to get to where we are now leads me to believe we are going to have to sit through all these trials. All this taxpayer money is going to be wasted.”

Gowen says that his client, Cabal Bhatt, was charged on the basis of wearing a bandana on his face to protect from police pepper spray.

As the names of each of the defendants are called—Cantú and his co-defendants all plead not guilty—I think about how I was almost arrested reporting on the same events that day. I watched as the black bloc came around the corner, flanked by police. Trash cans rolled through the street. Pepper spray came out. An officer ran at me with her stick.

I held up the media credentials hanging around my neck and and yelled “Press!” and she went around me. I was lucky.

At the advice of his lawyers, Cantú isn’t talking to the press. I ask Julie Ann Grimm, his editor at the Santa Fe Reporter, which hired him in April, if the impending charges makes her more reluctant to assign him to certain stories.

“His arrest was scary, the threat of being imprisoned for the rest of your life for just doing your job and observing a protest is … I don’t even know how to finish that sentence,” she says over the phone.

“I think Aaron is nervous about covering protests. I’m slightly nervous about sending him out to them. But we’re really not going to let this action by the federal government or by the prosecutors in Washington, DC, slow him down or to put a muzzle on his voice as a journalist.”

Still, she says, he might do a couple things differently now. “He will probably try to stay very separate from the people who are a part of the news event, and he will probably wear something like a tie.”

But Grimm is quick to stress that Cantú is not the only one in this case whose rights are being violated.

“We’re all standing up for Aaron, and this affects our industry and our identity as journalists,” Grimm says. “But the larger sort of corralling, the kettling, the mass-arresting, is also troubling.”

“Imagining the worst possible future your mind can conjure is an essential step to avoiding a world you do not want to live in,” Cantú wrote from the RNC. “Things are bad, very bad, and we will fuck them up even worse if we can’t acknowledge how very bad they are.”

This is an installment of the syndicated column Democracy in Crisis. Woods is the editor-at-large of Baltimore City Paper, reporting from DC.

Former county commissioner says a planned mental health center is worth the money

B Y M AT T G R U B S m a t t g r u b s @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

t was almost midnight in August last year when Miguel Chavez’ 24-yearold son came to the door. Chavez and his wife didn’t know he was out of jail.

Manuel Chavez had been booked into the Santa Fe County jail a month earlier for threatening his parents with a walking stick that his father keeps outside the kitchen door. He’d been released three days prior to this night, but now he needed a place to stay. He tried two friends, tried his grandfather, and now, out of options, he tried his parents.

“He was worked up,” Miguel recalls, sitting on a sawhorse in his woodworking shop off Baca Street.

Before long, he and his son were debating. When Miguel noticed the knife, he told police he shoved his son Manuel out the door. They were shouting at each other. Neighbors woke. He still has scars from wrestling the blade away from his son.

It’s been 10 months since that encounter, and Manuel just celebrated his 25th birthday in jail. His parents could bond him out, but if history is any indication, he might be back in custody in a matter of days. He’s safer, his father thinks, in jail than he is outside it, risking another run-in with the law and a deeper spiral into the criminal justice system.

Manuel is living with bipolar disorder.

Like thousands of families in Santa Fe impacted by mental illness, navigating the diagnosis has been an ordeal for the Chavezes. Even getting his son to recognize his mental illness has been a challenge, the elder Chavez says.

“I’m the victim, in the system,” Miguel tells SFR. “But he’s been more victimized by all this than I have.”

The two charges of aggravated battery on a family member Manuel faces came after a series of escalating brushes with the law. It started with petty misdemeanors like panhandling or loitering. There

were bench warrants for ignoring traffic violations; the warrants themselves were ignored, too.

“It doesn’t get their attention in the way that you think it should,” Miguel says of his son’s reaction to the warrants. “Because they feel like they’re being picked on.”

He wishes he’d found a way to help his son when the illness started manifesting itself in Manuel’s late teens.

A former county commissioner, it’s a big part of the reason Miguel pushed hard for two ballot measures last November.

One allocated $5 million for community health centers in Santa Fe County. The other was a non-binding question that asked voters how they felt about a proposed 0.125 percent gross receipts tax dedicated for behavioral health services.

They both passed. For Miguel, who lost his seat to Anna Hansen in the primary five months before those votes, it was a bittersweet victory.

I’m the victim, in the system. But he’s been more victimized by all this than I have.

-Miguel Chavez, on his son’s mental illness

As the county considers whether to actually approve the gross receipts tax increase, maybe as soon as during the June 27 commission meeting, Miguel has been ever-present at county meetings and study sessions. He’s still pushing for the help his son wasn’t able to get.

Manuel’s mental illness is getting more attention in jail than his father says it was getting on the outside. Manuel was recently appointed a treatment guardian—someone who can monitor what’s being done to help him—but his father says a jail is still a jail. It’s not built for be-

Chavez says a new gross receipts tax increment would create better treatment than jail.

havioral health treatment.

The county’s plan for the money generated by a new gross receipts tax is to create a behavioral health crisis center, a one-stop shop that can ease some of the strain on other county services—including the jail—that aren’t set up to properly support mental well-being.

“Our vision is to provide a safe and secure place for Santa Fe County adults with behavioral health issues—both mental health and addiction issues—and their families and caregivers to find information and receive assistance in times of crisis,” says Rachel O’Connor, the county health and human services director. “And to provide linkages with needed services.”

That’s a well-rehearsed explanation, but it needs to be. O’Connor wants to be crystal clear about what the center—generically called a crisis triage center—can do for the county.

O’Connor prizes what she calls a “living room model” for mental health care: a safe space for people experiencing mental illness to decompress, speak to peers about what they’re feeling and, potentially, escape getting sucked into the criminal justice system. It focuses on how they might better live with mental illness.

She’s been meeting with local law en-

forcement for months to figure out how to handle an incident that might normally end up with a trip to jail. “We haven’t figured out who goes where, when,” she tells SFR, but she says police agencies are largely on board.

The anticipated gross receipts tax on its own would generate about $1.6 million a year to fund the center. Language discussed at a recent meeting would target that money for behavioral health, though critics argue that promise isn’t iron-clad. Even if the county opts for less than the full 0.125 percent and goes with an increase of just half that, behavioral health services should get more than $1 million. The tax would be imposed in the whole county, including the city limits.

It’s the kind of early intervention effort O’Connor says could have helped someone like Manuel Chavez. She’s familiar with the case.

Miguel isn’t judging his son’s difficulties with the bipolar disorder diagnosis.

He and the rest of his family had a hard enough time accepting that Manuel was living with mental illness. When the court found Manuel wasn’t mentally fit to stand trial, his father says, “that was a real wake-up call.”

There’s a long, difficult road ahead for the Chavez family. Speaking up about it, Miguel hopes, means they and others won’t have to navigate the challenging world of behavioral health care alone.

he world’s oldest known tattoos adorn various parts of Ötzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old mummy discovered in the Alps on the border of Austria and Italy in 1991. Ötzi has at least 61 of them, and scientists believe there was far more to his body art than a collection of cool-looking designs. Instead, researchers believe Ötzi’s tattoos served a physically therapeutic purpose: relief from joint and spinal pain. The Copper Age man’s artwork—a crude cross, rings around his wrists and simple straight lines, among others—appear to be clustered in and around the affected areas on his body, meaning it’s probable he was tattooed in a ritualistic stab at medicinal aid.

“Approximately 80 to 85 percent of Ötzi’s tattoos line up with classical acupuncture points to relieve rheumatism, or they align with meridians,” Lars Krutak, research associate in the Department

of Anthropology at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution, tells SFR. “In this sense, his tattoos seem to have had some therapeutic value.”

Other ancient mummies, like the famous 2,500-year-old Pazyryk “chief” of Siberia discovered in 2014, had tattoos on his lower back and ankle similar to groupings on the Iceman, Krutak says.

The art form has, of course, persisted since Ötzi and the chief. It has evolved, too, from symbols marking rites of passage in cultures around the word to signposts of empowerment over physical and emotional pain.

These days, it’s not uncommon for folks to go under the needle after losing a loved one or to cover scars from burns or a mastectomy.

Similarly, collectors mark positive life events such as the birth of a child or marriage. Tattoos have always been available during our lifetime; the traditions, however, have morphed, making the field entirely more accessible than it was even just a few years ago. Tattooed people have become more common than ever, with a noticeable spike in the last 15 years alongside the advent of reality shows such as LA Ink and the rise of photography phone apps like Instagram.

Santa Fe, small as it is, is no stranger to this trend. Even a decade ago there were few options for quality work to be found locally, but as more people take the plunge, more shops have opened. The number of professional tattooers here has nearly quadrupled in the last five years,

“The internet changed everything, and I mean everything,” tattooer Guido Baldini (@lostctg) says. Baldini, who opened Lost Cowboy Tattoos and Gallery with his apprentice Owen Lostetter just over four years ago, has been professionally tattooing for 23 years. He says he’s seen the craft change from a world for misfits and rebels to a widely-accepted phenomenon.

“You don’t have the intensity there was before, the genuineness, the exchange with the customer,” Baldini says. “Everything is disposable, and right now there’s a very big instant gratification thing with tattoos, fundamentally.”

Baldini is from Italy but has lived in the states for nearly 15 years. In Santa Fe, he’s worked alongside locals like Four Star Tattoos’ Mark Vigil (@markvigiltattoo) and Dawn’s Custom Tattoo proprietor Dawn Purnell (@dawn_purnelltat2). “You

always expect that a person comes to you because they checked out your work and they wanted your vision,” he continues. “I believe if you’re getting a bad tattoo today, something really went wrong.”

The opening up of the industry has yielded a burst of talented artists and artistry. But for Baldini, it isn’t just about the complexity or technical prowess of the work, it’s about the self. “You’re going to get to know yourself more; you’re going to learn more about how you can do your job in a more professional, calm, welcoming way,” he explains. “We’re at the point of amazing tattooing, but people are asking for a good experience as well, and not everybody can do that—getting tattooed is painful, so you can go and get an amazing tattoo, but if you have a bad experience, it’s going to be a nightmare.”

As for the therapeutic aspects of tattooing, Baldini likens the ritual to acupuncture. “Your body is getting shocked when you get tattooed, and when you get shocked you have a reaction,” he says. “It’s not as much about the pain, but you move things emotionally and there’s a lot going on in a very deep way.”

WOMEN WHO HAVE TATTOOS, WOMEN WHO GIVE THEM “My favorite things to do are random,” Talisman Body Art’s Nikki Temer (@looney_nikki_temer) says. “I love when someone brings in a sketch or they’ve just got an idea, and I wish I could put a USB

I believe if you’re getting a bad tattoo today, something really went wrong.

and they embody evolving traditions and practices. But as more collectors emerge and the industry gains traction, there is much to consider before deciding on a tattoo of your own. Whom should you visit?

What’s the etiquette? How much should you spend? These are valid concerns, especially since the modern-day place in the overall tattoo gestalt can or should be almost holy. Collectors get work for countless reasons, but the concepts of therapy or achievement still ring true.

plug in their head and just see what they want.”

Temer has been tattooing about eight years, two of those as an apprentice. It’s a career she’s wanted since she was young.

“I started drawing before I could write my own name,” she reminisces.

Temer grew up in Arkansas, the daughter of biker parents who collected tattoos.

“I watched my dad get a skull in our kitchen—and mind you, this was the ’80s—and I just remember standing there, watching the whole time,” she says. “I remember there was a female artist, and this was back then in the South, so … I loved sitting there watching all these men and women get tattooed, and she would cover me in stencils and give me a handful of markers to ‘tattoo’ myself.”

Temer says she considers herself an artist and loves to paint and draw but, more than anything, she’s excited about the rising number of female artists working in the industry. “It’s a very male-dominated field, and women are taking a huge leap into it, which is amazing,” she says.

Temer also advises collaboration. With the rise in accessibility, newer tattoo collectors are prone to rookie mistakes, such as price-shopping, rudeness borne of fear or ignorance and the ever-irritating pitfalls of being a know-it-all.

“I don’t think any one style is the best and I don’t think any one artist is the best,” Temer cautions. “I love when people give me a ton of ideas and let me create for them.”

Temer sees the uptick in local shops as a positive, like healthy competition. “Not everyone is the same, and the arrogance should be diminished because we’re all trying to achieve the same goal,” she says.

Across town in the Santa Fe Village, Kristina Tafoya (@tinas_ink_tattoo_gallery) of Tina’s Ink has similar feelings. Tafoya, a nine-year veteran, worked previously for Talisman and The Dungeon before breaking out on her own with a small boutique shop. “Each artist can have a different style,” says Tafoya, “and our own way of seeing designs.”

Still, Tafoya has seen the industry’s ingrained misogyny. She’s been told she doesn’t fit the “type” to get tattooed, that she’ll regret being tattooed herself one day, and everything in between.

That’s an age-old trope. For example, researchers believe tattoos were exclusively given to women in ancient Egypt, circa 2000 BC. Men dominated fields of archaeology and Egyptology, leading mass excavations during the 1920s and 1930s assumed these markings signified a certain station: prostitution, or “dancing girls,” as described in field notes of the era. Early forays into studying body art were, as such, CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

tooed person and a person with a tattoo.”

She bemoans the loss of tattooing’s grittier side in the modern day. “Get tattooed for 10 years; want it; earn it,” she says. “People idolize these Instagram-famous tattooers, and yeah, it looks cool, but it’s really hard— you’re hurting people, you’re hunched over, you can’t mess up. … Tattooing is really humbling, because your shit’s around forever and you wanna be better. I’m so hard on myself to get better.”

Interested in work from Rising? Email her first. “You have to make an appointment to even get in and talk about the tattoo,” she says. “I just don’t need to do walkins anymore.”

Obviously this creates a more exclusive

or serious feel, but it’s a system that allows her to be more choosy in which tattoos she takes on. In other words, if you’re kicking around a dandelion bursting into a bunch of bird silhouettes (which you almost definitely shouldn’t be), make sure you don’t just pop by and expect it to work out immediately.

THE LOCAL LEGENDS “You can still tattoo and be successful without using Facebook or Instagram,” Four Star Tattoos owner Mark Vigil says.

“It’s just a lot more work if you’re not established.”

often overlooked in terms of historical or artistic significance. Joann Fletcher, then a research fellow in archaeology with the University of York in England, put the lie to that idea in a 2007 interview, hypothesizing that those old Egyptian pieces may also have functioned therapeutically for women.

Misconceptions about who gets tattooed and why have drifted down through the ages, Tafoya says.

“There was definitely a time when tattoos were more for people in the military or criminals,” she says, “but some people still don’t see the artistic side of it.”

Tafoya aims to expand some day and may soon offer piercings. In the meantime, she’s open to working with guest artists and, thanks to recently giving birth, is working on an appointment-only basis.

In Talis Fortuna, her private shop off Baca Street, longtime local artist Crow B Rising has stitched together a practice that pulls from centuries of tattooing traditions. She uses modern-day equipment and also runs the only shop in town that officially offers handpoke pieces (a machine-free style that is, in a word, badass).

Rising has tattooed for eight years, four as an apprentice under Four Star Tattoos’ Mark Vigil. The other years have been at Talis Fortuna, where Rising recently bought out her original partner, Jason Metka (who now works for legendary tattoo artist Aaron Bell at Seattle’s Slave to the Needle).

Rising’s views about tattooing are a bit unorthodox for 2017. “We’re cabinet makers, not artists,” she says. “And I think there’s a difference between being a tat-

Four Star has won Best Tattoo Shop in SFR’s Best of Santa Fe poll more years than most can recall and is easily the most well-known shop in town. (Full disclosure: I worked the desk at Four Star some years ago.) And though Vigil, who has tattooed for 25 years, does use both of the aforementioned social media platforms, he’s more about the soul of the work and the pursuit of artistic self-improvement. Some vapid online fan base isn’t his aim. “I think a lot of people still understand that it takes time for tattoos to happen,” he continues, “and it’s a small percentage of people who want something right away.”

In areas of the globe as far-flung as Nubia, Peru, Siberia and Polynesia, ancient tattoos were a more soulful pursuit, says Krutak of the Smithsonian. In many cases, body art was meant to signify culturally significant events or to memorialize milestones. “Apart from the therapeutic value of tattooing, most of the tattoos I study are linked to tribal identity and/or mark individual accomplishment and achievement: important life events, rite of passage ceremonies, war or hunting honors, etc.,” he says. “Tattoos permanently record and celebrate this ancient ancestral knowledge that ultimately gave rise to these indelible traditions.”

Vigil laments the more recent trend of instant-gratification-fueled lust spawned by reality TV programs, many of which would have tattoo newcomers believe that back-piece or sleeve they’re dreaming of can be knocked out quickly. It can’t. Big work requires many hours and multiple sessions. There’s still the option to choose a quick flash piece from the walls of Four Star or any of their many design books. But even that selection method is shifting in borderline absurd ways, Vigil says.

Dawn Purnell works on a longtime client who told us she got her first piece at age 71.

Thinking of getting your first piece?

Good for you! Just don’t be an asshole about it and heed the following advice, all of which comes from interviews with local tattooers (though who said what shall remain anonymous).

Know Thyself

Don’t go into a shop and say stuff like, “What do you think I should get?”

If you don’t have something in mind, it’s not an artist’s responsibility to make your decisions for you.

At least sleep on it.

Know Thy Artist

Do a little research and find an artist who specializes in a style you like.

It’s not hard, thanks to Instagram, and every shop has portfolios of their artists’ work you can peruse. They like when you do that.

Have Examples

For the love of God, if you have a specific image in mind, print something up and take it with you. That tiny pic on your phone is helping nobody and shops shouldn’t have to spend all their money and printer toner helping you prepare.

Don’t be a Biter

Think of it this way: If you’d collaborated with an artist you admired for some cool original piece, would you want some yahoo someplace else walking into their local shop demanding the exact same thing? Hell no.

Further, most artists don’t exactly love being put in what we’ll call a “tracer” situation—these are actual artists who’ve worked their asses off to get here.

Stop. Collaborate. Listen.

Your artist isn’t trying to do anything other than make sure you walk away with the best work he or she can muster.

If the tattooer tells you something won’t work or needs to be altered, you should listen. These people 100 percent have your best interests in mind. Note, also, that your skin is not paper, and just because something looks so cool in a sketchbook doesn’t mean it’ll look so cool emblazoned on your arm.

Change Your Perspective

Yes, this is a permanent thing that will be on your body forever and that is sacred and requires massive amounts of trust, but the other side of that coin is that your artist’s name is forever attached to the piece. If you bully them into doing something they advised against, or if you don’t take good care of your piece, anyone who asks where you got that oldtimey heart that is now destroyed by sun damage will associate it with that artist. This is not a good endorsement for them, nor does it properly represent their abilities.

Don’t Haggle

The industry standard for hourly work hovers around $150, though shops will sometimes charge a flat fee for smaller one-off pieces. Some places charge less, some more. If you want to work with a shop or artist, you’ll work it out. After all, you wouldn’t walk into a grocery store and tell them you didn’t want to pay what they were charging for milk unless you’re a real jerk. Or a crybaby.

Oh, and tip ’em. Seriously.

No More Zia Symbols

Everyone hates doing these, by the way. Enough already.

Be Cool

Seriously, just be cool. You don’t have to prove you’re an expert, because you surely don’t know as much as your artist.

“The funny thing is, people come in saying they don’t want to get the tattoos on the wall because everyone has that,” he says, “but then they show you the stuff on the Internet that everyone else has.”

Instead, Vigil urges potential customers to embrace the idea of original work created through collaboration. Yes, there is a tremendous level of trust involved in allowing a stranger to basically cut you for hours on end. But professional artists who offer up advice or suggest compromise aren’t trying to wrest control; they’re trying to create the best tattoo possible.

Longtime Four Star artist Scott Buffington agrees: “We’re not as worried about how it’s going to look right when it’s done, we’re worried about what it’ll look like in 20 or 30 years.”

Both, by the way, espouse the concept of tattoo therapy.

“When you have someone who goes through a procedure, like a mastectomy, that’s completely life-changing, and I think it’s amazing for someone to come in and change that for the better,” Vigil explains. “It’s doing something that’s super-empowering and not looking at a situation like a victim, but like a survivor.”

Vigil’s former partner, Dawn Purnell of Dawn’s Custom Tattoo, shares that view. Purnell and Vigil opened Four Star together in 1999 but parted ways in 2005. Purnell, who has 24 years under her belt, strongly believes in tattooing as a means to self-empowerment.

“Even just one aspect is that it’s so painful,” she says. “If the end result is that they proved to themselves they could do it, when they walk out with a tattoo, they were able to go through something challenging; they’re happy; they’re elated.” Purnell says those who seek tattoos are generally experiencing something emotionally deeper than their own consciousness can grasp.

She’ll also be moving Dawn’s Custom Tattoo in mid-July to Hickox Street. “The neighborhood shop is something that’s been a sweet dream of mine,” she says.

FADING OVER TIME Even as more people embrace body modification, the Smithsonian’s Krutak says there are important factors to consider from historical and anthropological vantages.

“Indigenous tattooing traditions are rapidly vanishing across the world today,” he tells SFR. “These customs are some of the oldest human expressions on earth. I can’t understand why there are not more international research projects devoted to recording them before they

We are losing touch with an incredibly unique aspect of global cultural heritage that defines what it means to be human.

-Lars Krutak

disappear forever. I would encourage UNESCO, Google Cultural Institute, international science foundations or whomever to do something now before it’s too late, because we are losing touch with an incredibly unique aspect of global cultural heritage that defines what it means to be human.”

It seems the more tattoos are normalized within polite society, the further we move away from their roots or even indigenous or shamanistic purposes. That means we lose the cultural significance of the ancient art form. No one is casting aspersions on that lower-back butterfly (they’re actually super cool), but it’s hard to envision future scientists citing such pieces as historically or culturally notable, especially given the dearth of photographic evidence online.

“The clock is ticking,” says Krutak, “but if organizations devoted just 10 to 15 percent of the annual research monies they devote to rock art studies, we’d be in a much better place.”

Fingers crossed.

An Enduring Effort Llama trekking guide works to defend the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument he campaigned to create

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

S

tuart Wilde has spent a couple hundred days each year of the last 25 trekking into the canyons along the Rio Grande, where burnt-black volcanic rock soars for hundreds of feet overhead. Often, pack teams of rescued llamas trail him, and he’s pointing out petroglyphs for tourists hiking along. These desert canyons descend from the gnarled piñon and prickly pear at the rim, into an increasingly verdant landscape laced with ponderosa pines and frequented by great blue herons and bighorn sheep. The natural landscape is riddled with Native cultural sites, remnants from Spanish settlers and conquistadors, even traces of settlements from Dust Bowl-era homesteaders.

“You can’t have a natural experience in Rio Grande del Norte without having a cultural experience,” he says.

For four years, he’s been able to say that his work—showing people the place itself, as well as driving loops around the Enchanted Circle’s highways near Taos to talk about the area’s historic and biological significance—helped secure the gorge protections for generations to come.

That preservation came into question at the end of April, when the president announced a sweeping review of national monuments from the last 20 years, including Rio Grande del Norte, designated by former President Barack Obama in March 2013.

The first glimpse of what that review will entail was issued on June 12 in a statement from Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke,

who oversees national monuments, parks and other public lands. He suggested shrinking the boundaries of the Bears Ears National Monument, created by Obama in December to protect areas of cultural significance to five tribes in the Four Corners area. That monument was targeted first, while the public comment period on the idea of revising 22 total monuments, Rio Grande del Norte National Monument and Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks near Las Cruces among them, concludes July 10. The executive order argues the review is necessary because these monuments did not see adequate public outreach prior to their creation.

“That rhetoric just doesn’t square with the facts,” says Kate Kelly, who runs the Center for American Progress public lands program and served as a communications director for the Interior Department during the Obama administration.

Local communities were asked whether a monument was the right path forward, and what that monument should look like, she says. As a result of that input, their boundaries and size shifted. Bears Ears is half a million acres smaller than what the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coali-

THE ENTHUSIAST

Stuart Wilde says both the natural beauty and cultural resources make the Rio Grande del Norte worth protecting.

tion suggested. So, too, was Rio Grande del Norte downsized to less than half its original proposal. Rules for each monument were drafted to allow ongoing access for historic users, including tribal members gathering herbs or firewood, and ranchers grazing their cattle.

Wilde spent a recent morning driving to nearby towns, picking up letters of support from mayors to send with a packet of the historic comments that make the case for the monument’s future. He was a conservationist even as a kid, helping start a curbside recycling program in the New York suburb where he grew up. Drawn west in the ’80s, his life took root in New Mexico as a wilderness guide and outdoor educator.

“As part of the obligation of being an outdoor recreation professional, there’s an ethic involved in protecting the areas that I bring people into,” Wilde says.

Efforts to protect the Rio Grande Gorge have been underway since 1968, when the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act passed and the Rio Grande was among the first rivers to receive that designation. The gorge has been considered for a national conservation area as well, but that effort shifted with the political tides to a national monument campaign. The movement’s ranks

included backpackers, ranchers, anglers and hunters alongside conservationists— outdoors enthusiasts of all stripes—who had merged first to defend Valle Vidal from proposed oil and gas development, and reconvened to fight for the Rio Grande Gorge, Wilde recalls.

“It was really a pretty magical campaign,” he says. “Everybody got together to stand up for this amazing natural and cultural resource.”

As part of his efforts, he took members of Congress into the canyon, llamas in tow, hoping to translate DC staffers’ sentiments about saving the planet into intelligence about a place from on-the-ground experiences of its beauty.

Since the monument was created, he’s seen visitors increase, and those dollars ripple out to local hotels and restaurants.

“Conservation here in New Mexico is part of a model of sustainable economic development that isn’t necessarily a crash and burn, develop for energy or this or that, and then leave the area a Superfund site,” he says. “This is something that future generations of New Mexicans and Americans can benefit from.”

A Gift that Keeps on Giving Legendary MC + local talent = one helluva night for hip-hop Good news for both Skylight and hiphop fans as legendary MC Gift of Gab— half of Sacramento hip-hop act Blackalicious—brings his complex rhyme-work to the downtown nightclub’s stage. Gab is like a living, walking rhyming dictionary/thesaurus, melding an incredibly astute understanding of the melodic and musical aspects of hip-hop with a complicated flow and thoughtful lyricism unlike pretty much anything else out there. Or, to put it another way, how often are music fans this excited to get one-half of a group they love? Further, how often does an artist gain the spotlight and then stay there for his entire career? Yup—he’s pretty good. Opening support comes from local rappers, Outstanding Citizens Collective, a loosely affiliated squadron made up of impactful solo artists such as Benzo, Fluid, Wolfman Jack and OG Willikers, aka Zach Maloof.

“We’re proud to bring this tour to Santa Fe,” Maloof says. “It’s proof that

by coming together and combining talents, we can do bigger things for our scene and our city. … Did you see [Gift of Gab] is bringing two opening acts; Landon Wordswell and Mostafa? Also very talented MCs.” Outstanding Citizens Collective, by the way, has quietly built up quite the reputable following, and with anything from live shows, podcasts and visual arts under their belts, we expect great things for the future. Oh, might we also mention we’ve heard tell that local hip-hop fanatic Doer is taking over The Underground across the street that same night for some hip-hop action of his own—did someone say hip-hop block party?

He can be timid in new situations, but with a reassuring hand and loving person next to him he quickly builds up the confidence to push forward. Rex doesn’t mind other dogs as long as they’re gentle like him. He’d love a home with a secure fence and loving family that can provide him with the happy, playful life he deserves.

MUSIC

The sort-of return of a Santa Fe institution

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

P

roducer, DJ, MC and musician Sol Bentley never actually went anywhere—he’s definitely been around. But he did scale back his music-making operations the last couple years while opening Skylight and subsequently transitioning to a manager position at Buffalo Thunder’s Shadeh Nightclub. “I’ve been lucky enough to have a career in music through production, teaching, DJing and radio work,” Sol says. “But I stepped back just a little bit to focus on some business interests, which was extremely rewarding, but you get to a point where you’ve gotta do what feeds your soul. ... You come in to do something and you do it, and sometimes it’s time to move on to what’s important to you.”

Obviously, this means making music, though Sol’s a realist. “It’s not always easy,” he says. “You put your balls out there, and I speak with musicians all the time who have to go off to their day jobs or whatever.”

Part of Sol’s return to performance came after a neck injury earlier in the year changed his outlook. “It put me out for a couple months; I was in bed for seven weeks, had extensive physical therapy, literally couldn’t do anything,” he says.

“I couldn’t even sit at the computer and produce, it was all off the table. So when I finally got healthy again, I was ready to roar and I just said, ‘Let’s go full-steam!’”

In May, Sol performed in one way or another at 19 events, both as a DJ and a member of hip-hop reggae group The

Sol Bentley has musically reemerged like some kind of hip-hop, DJing butterfly or something ... like, something more tough.

BoomRoots Collective. This has most notably meant a return to MC duties, something for which people of a certain local era might remember Sol, through his now-defunct hip-hop group, the Unknown.

“I was in so much pain, but I would get that microphone in my hand and everything would just go away,” he says. “It was almost like, ‘Welcome home, Sol.’” And it doesn’t stop there. As we speak, Sol has completed work on a six-song EP and just finished production on two music videos to be released as singles from the same recording. The first we’ll see is called “The Rhythm in Me,” a sort of love letter to music community and Santa Fe, shot at iconic local places like Shake Foundation and Cliff’s Liquors.

Sol also hints at the possibility of upcoming Unknown reunion shows, complete with new material. “It had been so hard for us to even broach the subject after Sebastian [Gordon] died [in 2011],” he says of the former Unknown member.

“But when we looked at the greater pic-

ture and the energy, Sebastian would have kicked our asses if he knew we weren’t making music together.”

Sol also envisions a possible solo European DJ tour and potential live hip-hop performances with drummer Norman John Cutliff III, aka NC3, formerly of Latin hip-hop-esque act Tabularasa and currently a member of rock band Katy P and the Business.

“The craziest part about working in music and production is that you can fight and fight to turn it on, and it’s just not happening,” Sol tells SFR. “But being laid up all that time, and just sitting around and spinning in space and time, the stuff that comes from that can be absolutely amazing—it’s all about perspective.”

Of course, Sol’s always had that in spades. He’s worked with the likes of punk act Grimple, hardcore hometown heroes Logical Nonsense and more promoters, party facilitators and MCs than seem possible. Further, he’s more open to collaboration than he’s ever been, saying, “I’ve worked on solo projects, and I’ll continue

to do that. But if I’m honest with myself, I didn’t have that same fire that I have when I’m working with my brothers.”

This means it shouldn’t be hard to find Sol if you’re out and about. You may even notice his revitalized energy. Regardless, it’s exciting to see such a longtime integral part of local music back in the trenches.

“When it comes, you can’t turn it off,” Sol hypothesizes. “It’s not just what I do, it’s who I am, and I’m grateful and humbled that our community shows me so much love.”

Stay Cool, Wear Baskets STO RY BY M A R I A EG O L F - RO M E RO m a r i a @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m 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

S

ummer is about adventure and long, sun-soaked days spent with people you love. It’s a dream made real; time stretches out and slows, the living is easy. But, it’s also hot as hell. Overheating is a quick way to ruin your good time and a breezy outfit can easily be weighed down by a leather purse or a wool cap. ’Tis the season for linen, basket bags and straw hats.

Woven palm totes, rattan bags and wicker basket purses flood your social media feeds as summer inspires odes to Jane Birkin, the French goddess of the ’70s who never went far without a picnic basket in warmer months. It’s a light accessory and a wicker addition to any outfit makes for a classic look. They’ve even enjoyed a resurgence in 2018 resort and cruise collections from the likes of Prada and Gucci.

Finding one in Santa Fe isn’t the easiest task, however, but I did track down a few options after an afternoon of hunting. You’ll have an easier time locating a local option if you’re looking for a bigger basket that can hold everything you need for your next trip to the lake. Jackalope (2820 Cerrillos Road, 471-8539) has a few large tote-sized, woven seagrass baskets ($45) with leather-covered handles. A towel, your favorite bottle of wine and a good book would fit right in there.

La Montañita Co-op (913 W Alameda St., 984-2852) has African market baskets, each of which is made by hand. The larger version ($32.99) comes in striped patterns and could hold everything you need to pick up to make delicious dinner and enjoy it al fresco, including ingredients fresh from the Farmers Market, candles and a picnic blanket.

Online, you’ll of course find a larger array of basket purses in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and price ranges. Given my choice, I’d go with Doen’s Pheobe Basket ($38, shopdoen.com), which has a closeable top and a rounded shape. Although Doen’s other equally cute hand baskets are sold out on their site, you can find them at Reformation (thereformation.com).

The company Orang Wanita—which means “woman person” in Indonesia’s native language, Bhasa Indonesia—sources woven purses made by a group of people in the rainforest of Bali who use traditional techniques. Lined with beautiful textiles, they’re really wearable works of art. The Duniabasic ($70-$100) is everything you want in a basket purse: It closes and can be worn on the shoulder or as a crossbody.

There are other ways to weave wood into your summer accessories besides carrying a picnic basket, since I know not all of you

will be into that. Straw sun hats, however, are functional and cute. Sun protection is obviously a good plan since, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, one in five Americans develops skin cancer in their lifetime and sun damage can cause early skin aging. Snow, sand and water all increase the need for protection because they reflect the sun’s harmful rays.

With opposing opinions regarding sunblock and its toxicity—more on this in a future Bed Head—a sun hat is a great option.

Luckily, you’ll have an easier time getting a sun hat in this town. They’re available at most gardening establishments and grocery stores, but if you’re looking for a more style oriented sun-blocker, pop into Maya (108 Galisteo St., 989-7590) for options including a golden straw hat embroidered with small red and yellow dots that look like confetti, or a black and white straw version with a colorful pom pom hat band ($55.50). Here you’ll also find a classic, stiff brimmed straw hat with a big black bow ($45.50).

Sometime this fall, H&M is scheduled to open in a 26,000 square foot space in the Santa Fe Place Mall (4250 Cerrillos Road, 473-4253). While it’s certainly a fast-fashion chain (meaning they produce a ton of low quality items using synthetic fibers with no concern for the environment or future), it will offer a place you can score an affordable sun hat ($17.99) and will give, like, one reason—maybe, maybe—to go to the mall.

So, hold all your stuff in a basket, put one on your head, tap your heels three times and remember to appreciate the summer; it will be gone before you know it.

If you need some styling inspo and want to see how these items can work with a ton of different looks, try stalking one of these Instagram accounts: @idanoparis @the_corner_store @double3xposure

I am a 34-year-old straight woman. I’m monogamous and have an avoidant attachment style.

I’ve been seeing a guy I really like. He’s just my type, the kind of person I’ve been looking for my whole life. Thing is, he’s in an open relationship with someone he’s been with for most of his adult life. He was sneaky—he didn’t reveal he was in an open relationship until the second date, but by then I was infatuated and felt like I wasn’t in control of my actions. So what I’ve learned is that poly couples often seek out others to create NRE or “new relationship energy,” which may help save their relationship in the long run. I was deeply hurt to learn about NRE. What about the people who are dragged into a situation by some charmer in an attempt to breathe new life into a stale relationship? I feel like no one cares about the people on the side, the ones who might be perceived to be cheating with someone’s partner, as some sort of competitor, a hussy. How can I reconcile the fact that I’ve fallen for someone who sees me as a tool to be discarded once the excitement wears off?

I know we all have a choice, but we also know what it’s like to be infatuated by someone who seems perfect. I feel like such a loser.

-Sobbing Here And Making Errors “One of life’s hardest lessons is this: Two people can be absolutely crazy in love with each other and still not be good partners,” said Franklin Veaux, coauthor of More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory (morethantwo.com). “If you’re monogamous and you meet someone you’re completely smitten with who isn’t, the best thing to do is acknowledge that you’re incompatible and go your separate ways. It hurts and it sucks, but there it is.”

This perfect, sneaky guy who makes you feel like a loser and a hussy? He told you he was in an open relationship on your second date.

You knew he wasn’t “your type” or “perfect” for you the second time you laid eyes on him, SHAME, and you needed to go your separate ways at that point. And I’m not buying your excuse (“I was too infatuated!”). What if he had revealed that he was a recreational bed wetter? Or a serial killer? Or Jeffrey Lord? Or all of the above? Surely you would’ve dumped him then.

Veaux advocates ethical polyamory—it’s right there in the title of his book—and he thinks this guy did you wrong by not disclosing his partner’s existence right away. “Making a nonmonogamous relationship work requires a commitment to communication, honesty, and transparency,” said Veaux. “Concealing the fact that you’re in a relationship is a big violation of all three, and no good will come of it.”

I have a slightly different take. Straight women in open relationships have an easier time finding men willing to fuck and/or date them; their straight male counterparts have a much more difficult time. Stigma and double standards are at work here—she’s sexually adventurous; he’s a cheating bastard—and waiting to disclose the fact that you’re poly (or kinky or HIV-positive or a cammer) is a reaction to/work-around for that. It’s also a violation of poly best practices, like Veaux says, but the stigma is a violation, too. Waiting to disclose your partner, kink, HIV status, etc., can prompt the other person to weigh their assumptions and prejudices about poly/kinky/ poz people against the living, breathing person they’ve come to know. Still, disclosure needs to come early—within a date or two, certainly before anyone gets fucked—so the other person can bail if poly/kinky/poz is a deal breaker.

As for that new relationship energy stuff…

“There are, in truth, polyamorous people who are NRE junkies,” said Veaux. “Men and women who chase new relationships in pursuit

of that emotional fix. They’re not very common, but they do exist, and alas they tend to leave a lot of destruction in their wake.”

But your assumptions about how NRE works are wrong, SHAME. Seeing your partner in the throes of NRE doesn’t bring the primary couple closer together; it often places a strain on the relationship. Opening up a relationship can certainly save it (if openness is a better fit for both partners), but NRE isn’t a log the primary couple tosses on the emotional/erotic fire. It’s something a poly person experiences with a new partner, not something a poly person enjoys with an established one.

And there are lots of examples of longterm poly relationships out there—established triads, quads, quints—so your assumption about being discarded once NRE wears off is also off, SHAME. There are no guarantees, however. If this guy were single and looking for a monogamous relationship, you could nevertheless discover you’re not right for each other and wind up being discarded or doing the discarding yourself.

I’m going to give the final word to our guest expert…

“Having an avoidant attachment style complicates things, because one of the things that can go along with avoidant attachment is idealizing partners who are inaccessible or unavailable,” said Veaux. “That can make it harder to let go. But if you’re radically incompatible with the person you love, letting go is likely your only healthy choice. Good luck!”

I’m gay and married. My husband regularly messes around with this one guy who treats me like I’m a cuckold. He will send me a pic of my husband sucking his cock, for example, and a text message meant to degrade me. But I’m not a cuckold and I don’t find these messages sexy. My husband wants me to play along because it gets this guy off. Advice?

-Can’t Understand Cuckold Kink It depends, CUCK. If you’re upset by these messages—if they hurt your feelings, are damaging your sexual connection to your husband, are traumatizing—don’t play along. But if you find them silly—if they just make you roll your eyes—then play along. Respond positively/ abjectly/insincerely, then delete. Not to please the guy sending the messages (who you don’t owe anything), but to please your husband (who’ll wind up owing you).

I am a straight male grad student in my mid20s. My girlfriend wants to have sex with another girl in our class. Neither of us have had a threesome before, but both of us are game.

Unfortunately, I am not attracted to this girl.

When we started dating, my girlfriend told me that she is sexually attracted to women.

We agreed to be monogamous except that she could have sex with other women as part of a threesome with me. She is not hell-bent on having sex with our classmate, but she would like to and says it’s up to me. I don’t want her to suppress her same-sex tendencies, but I am jealous at the thought of her having sex with someone else while I am not participating.

What should I do?

-Feeling Out Moments Orgasmic You should take yes for an answer, FOMO—or take your girlfriend’s willingness to say no to this opportunity for an answer. She’s into this woman but willing to pass on her because you aren’t. There are billions of other women on the planet—some in your immediate vicinity—so you two have lots of other options. Unless you find a reason to object to every woman your girlfriend finds attractive, you aren’t guilty of suppressing her same-sex tendencies.

ALEX DE VORE

Many years ago, your good pal Alex walked into Four Star Tattoos and met artist Jeffrey Pitt. What began as a first tattoo ever (a simple skull) blossomed into a glorious years-long relationship of artwork and friendship and hugs. Just kidding. But there were many tattoos. Pitt now works for Dawn Purnell at Dawn’s Custom Tattoo, and since this is, after all, a big fat tattoo issue (see cover, page 12), it seemed wise to say hey to Pitt and ask him about ‘toos and stuff. (Alex De Vore) How long have you been professionally tattooing?

I’ve been a professional tattooer for just shy of 16 years. I went to Maryland Institute College of Art. It was four years that I studied illustration and graphic design. I was the kid who if any of my friends needed something drawn—a T-shirt or a sticker or a flyer for a punk rock show—they were like, ‘Jeff’s gotta draw this up for us.’ I was that guy. And then as we got older, it turned into ‘Jeff’s gotta draw this tattoo design.’ There was a long period of time when I was drawing tattoo designs for friends, and it still hadn’t dawned on me that it was something I’d be into because I didn’t have any tattoos. Actually, that’s not true, I got one tattoo when I was 18. It just kind of went from there. I was definitely that kid who was the art kid out of all of us.

I was the kid who drew well.

When you were doing these T-shirts and stickers and things ... I’m picturing very graphic.

I was way into skateboard culture, I loved the skateboard graphics. You’ll hear that a lot with tattooers, especially ones around my age. I was into anything to do with skating; anything to do with graphics.

So you were designing these tattoos for friends, were you thinking ‘I should just do this?’

I was the last one to [get tattooed] out of my little circle of friends. Getting tattooed in the ’80s and ’90s was different than it is now. It was less visible. There’s a part of me that remembers when people saw heavily tattooed people, they thought they were psychopaths. It’s a different day. It wasn’t till I moved here around ’98 that I started getting tattooed regularly, by Dawn [Purnell], and that was kind of when I realized it was something I could do or would like to do.

COURTESY WISE FOOL

BUST! a Wise Fool circus camp challenges the norm

BY LIZ BRINDLEY @lizbrindley_artwork

“In a society that profits from self-doubt, liking yourself is a radical act.”

T

hese words are displayed near a mirror at Wise Fool, the local nonprofit that promotes social justice through circus, puppetry and theater as inspiration to break down societal expectations that teach people to question personal truths. This is a complex act, but is what Wise Fool aims to do through its annual circus intensive, BUST! BUST! invites all those who self-identify as women, trans*, or gender non-conforming to spend six weeks learning an array of circus skills as a bridge for conversations about gender, race and privilege. Participants dive into these necessary and sometimes messy topics that are crying out for the attention of our communities today.

The name BUST! stems from the action of busting through barriers to a place of fluid freedom. This powerful journey began 15 years ago, and continues to challenge all that has been established to create a space for fully honest expression.

“Through the years, we have really worked to create a space for everybody— trans* people, gender nonconforming folks, queer folks, people of color—to be seen, fully seen,” Amy Christian, artistic

BUST! participants walk tall or some such.

director of Wise Fool and a leader of the program, explains. “To not have to fit into any boxes of how we present ourselves in the world.”

This is a continual process, one that keeps pushing the boundaries for a wider circle. “I feel that circus is getting to a more diverse space, but it’s not 100 percent,” BUST! participant Anangookwe Wolf shares. “It could go farther; we can mix in more queer voices, more voices of color.”

The group works to make space for a multitude of voices, both in and out of the studio. This is no small feat, especially in a society that creates a limited gender binary and places people into predetermined roles that don’t always fit an individual’s true nature.

But BUST!ers are courageous and use storytelling to collaboratively create another narrative through physical activities including aerials, clowning, acrobatics and stilt-walking. For many in the program, this is an introduction to new skills.

“I didn’t know I had a deep love for the stilts until I was standing and walking and realized this is something I have to have in my life,” Ximena McBride says.

These movement-based exercises are interwoven with emotionally strengthening workshops including visual arts, life-coaching and classes such as Trans 101 and Decolonizing Gender. Participants express that this integrated process is both exhausting and energizing.

“One of the most challenging things

A&C is the physicality of the different disciplines,” BUSTer Jinelle Scully shares. “I feel like I’m relatively strong, but I think there is an emotional connection to things in our bodies that we can tap into.

It’s a great metaphor to tap into your fears or times when you doubt yourself.”

These obstacles lead to breakthrough moments for personal and collective growth. “Whether it’s an emotional or physical challenge, everyone hits a wall in BUST! at some point,” Christian explains.

“But that’s the beauty, because it means we are really stepping out to our edges, and that is where we discover our potential.”

These discoveries, she says, will not end with BUST!’s performance at the end of the month, but will carry on into participants’ daily lives long after the program concludes.

“I always hope that people leave BUST! with a renewed sense of potential,” Christian expresses. “When you have worked and worked and worked to get up on that trapeze bar and the day you do it really easily and look out at an audience clapping for you, you realize that, with the right support, you can do anything.”

Scully agrees. “I feel I’ll leave this program knowing that, if there are things out there in my life that I haven’t done because I was too afraid or because I felt I wasn’t enough of something to do them, I can do them.”

The powerful collective energy in BUST! dissolves doubt to reveal that it is no longer time to just clown around (though there will be some of that, too).

It is time to explore previous stories, deconstruct altered histories and create a different reality that shares not one voice, but many.

I

’m always amazed when I hear about people going downtown for breakfast regularly. First, it’s not cheap; restaurants downtown have downtown prices. Second, breakfast is a meal that doesn’t show up on most restaurants’ menus unless it’s a weekend brunch.

Third, restaurants in Santa Fe have Santa Fe hours. Have you tried to get an early breakfast downtown on a weekday? Tourists are lucky that hotels offer continental breakfasts.

This is all a preamble to discuss Boultawn’s Bakery (105 E Marcy St., 983-9006), which just took over the location vacated by the short-lived Chez Dré.

The spot is right downtown, is super visible and ready to go. Chef/owner Tawn Dix bought the space wholesale, down to the decor. This made it easier for Dix to set up quickly, but it lends itself to an overwhelming sense of deja vu as you enter.

The menu is simple: pastries, breakfast sandwiches and crepes. The trend away from 20-page menus is so welcome.

Give me a smaller selection made well and I’m happy. And Dix is making simple foods well.

The case was full of croissants and cinnamon rolls. He offers a small selection of tiny waffles as well, which is an incredibly nice break from the artisanal donut fad.

After talking to the counter staff for a bit, it was revealed that Dix is also substituting coconut oil for butter in his pastries.

I’m all for experimenting with cooking,

but am deeply skeptical of these sorts of changes. I decided I’d give the cinnamon roll ($2.75) a try.

For the rest of the meal I went with a crepe with turkey and spinach filling ($7.95)— that also promised a housemade bechamel—as well as the berry jicama salad ($8.50). They have a full coffee menu and a nice selection of sodas. I grabbed an apple soda and sat by the window.

Up front, I want to emphasize that the menu is very reasonably priced and their seven days a week, 7 am4 pm hours make them one of the easiest and earliest places to get food downtown any day of the week. Their lightfare menu also makes this one of the few places to get something simple mid-day.

This is all very welcome.

I got my cinnamon roll first. I hadn’t thought to ask for it after the meal, which was my fault. It’s clear that this is more of a diner-type spot and I did order it with my main course. After an internal debate of to desert first or not, I dug in.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: • It is oddly light in color • The icing was bubbling and smelled great

This was not an American cinnamon roll—those are the size of your head, slathered in frosting, and dark brown with a thick layer of cinnamon and sugar.

This was more like the simple iced bun you’d get in many European countries, and it tasted like that as well. More like a

Let’s start with the salad: A pretty basic chopped lettuce affair with a really nice spread of strawberries and jicama, topped with sunflower seeds and nice side of mango. The dressing was a berry vinaigrette that was a little sweet for my liking, but it is really nice to see a salad not using sad spring mix.

The crepe was ... not a crepe. Or it was, but it was very thick and pancake-like. The sliced turkey and spinach were cold, and this could have been a good choice if the pastry itself had also been cold, but it wasn’t. The bechamel was creamy and ranch-y, which is an interesting choice, but made the whole thing feel like a really oddly made wrap, and while I am into evolving cuisine, this felt a bit off. It didn’t taste bad, but it didn’t feel like the promised meal.

Bottom line is that downtown needs an early-morning spot with simple, cheap fare. Dix is filling this hole. Though he’s currently a square peg in a round hole.

There are rumors of bagels, and if he can evolve his menu as he moves forward this will easily become a go-to for many people who up to now have had to make do with more expensive later-in-the-day options.

++ THE SMOOTH,

Featuring the friends, family and famous fans of John Coltrane (read: Bill Clinton and John Densmore of The Doors fame), the documentary Chasing Trane follows the celebrated jazz man from “country bumpkin” to full-on legend.

From humble beginnings blossoms a friendship with fellow saxophonist Benny Golson, through whose interviews we learn that Trane himself was a quiet but soulful man translating painful experiences into music. Coltrane was raised in a Methodist household during the Jim Crow era, and his music often drew upon church gospels and explored themes of race and perseverance in the face of discrimination. Aside from using music for political and personal expression, the man was a pioneer, pushing jazz forward into uncharted territory. He dared to challenge contemporary “jazz,” experimenting with tone, rhythm, and instrumentation, even at the risk of alienating listeners.

6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER

SOULFUL VOICE OF DENZEL WASHINGTON AS JOHN COLTRANE -- IT’S A BIT DENSE FOR THE CAUSAL JAZZ FAN

It was, however, this unbridled confidence and creativity that earned him a place of idolatry in so many jazz lovers’ hearts. Critically acclaimed director John Scheinfeld (The US vs. John Lennon) pulls no stops. Unafraid to explore the more painful sides of Coltrane’s story, Scheinfeld presents an authentic image of a deeply talented but troubled musician struggling with heroin addiction. But despite his shortcomings, those close to Trane acknowledge his unrelenting kindness: Even when high or drunk, Trane was the same gentle man. The result is a more humanized and personal portrait of one of the jazz world’s biggest stars, just as entertaining as it is touching.

While Scheinfeld does engage the audience, the amount of information Chasing Trane con-

veys can be overwhelming. Of course, with a career as diverse as Coltrane’s, it’s hard to keep things short and sweet, but in sweetness this film is not lacking. Through playful and enthusiastic interviews, the film has the perfect blend of humor and sentimentality. Inspiring, fun and thoughtful, Chasing Trane will stay with you long after the music ends.

++ I MEAN, IT’S PEOPLE FIGHTING MUMMIES

-- TOM CRUISE, IN GENERAL

Where does one even begin in dismantling any far-fetched high hopes for a quality reboot (sort of, but more on that soon) of The Mummy with Tom Cruise? First off, Cruise at this point is really more of an onscreen presence than actual thespian. Rather than sink his teeth into anything, Cruise remains content to sprint towards things or away from things and make silly quips and one-liners while doing his best to not look as short as he actually is next to his leading ladies.

Here Cruise plays Nick Morton, an American solider of some kind who, along with his reluctant cohort Vail (New Girl’s Jake Johnson), disregards orders to traipse around the Middle East stealing artifacts to sell on the black market. It’s absurd—and not in a fun, Indiana Jones kind of way because at least Indy was all like, “It belongs in a museum!” It’s more like, Cruise-isn’tas-charming-as-he-thinks-and-who-the-hell-decided-to-try-and-inject-humor-into-this-movie kind of way. During a routine theft attempt in Iraq, Nick and Vail unwittingly discover the ancient tomb (or is it?!) of an Egyptian princess (Sofia Boutella) who was buried alive for making

a deal with the god Set so she could be all kinds of powerful. Wouldn’t you know it, though—they awaken her, she’s pissed and she’s gonna give Set Nick’s body so he can have dominion over life and death which, frankly, doesn’t sound all bad to us.

Along for the ride is a beautiful archaeologist named Jennifer (Annabelle Wallis) with

whom Nick shares one of those oh-so-playfully combative relationships (but they probably care deeply about each other).

ties like the Creature from the Black Lagoon and vampires and stuff, it becomes clear to film fans (read: people of a certain age) that there’s plenty more where this came from whether we like it or not.

The exposition becomes downright gratuitous at a certain point, and it isn’t long before we realize we’ve just been watching running punctuated by a few face-punches, and whatever light elements of Egyptology may have made it through seem squandered to a fault. No, this film is not as goofy-fun as the 1999 Brendan Fraser romp, and even far-superior CGI and a lack of The Rock don’t make up for a dragging plot, god-awful writing and another forgettable turn from Cruise. Killing time? Knock yourselves out. Looking for something even slightly good?

Move on. (Alex De Vore) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 110 min.

valuable idea that failing can be perceived more productively as growth.

Lister-Jones, who also penned the screenplay, is Anna, a writer-turned-Uber driver struggling with a squandered book deal and a recent miscarriage, both of which have put an incredible strain on her marriage with Ben (consummate indie champ Adam Pally), a struggling artist in his own right. Both cling to their miseries as an excuse to not address underlying issues with failure and one another, but rather than call it quits, Ben and Anna stumble into a songwriting partnership wherein tunes are written in the wake of their worst recurring arguments.

It’s equal parts funny and charming, and with original songs written by Lister-Jones herself that fall somewhere between Guided by Voices and David Byrne, Anna and Ben slowly rebuild their connection alongside their sex-addict neighbor (played deftly and perfectly weird by the always brilliant Fred Armisen); their goof-around garage band becomes more of a necessary outlet than time-killer; like a therapeutic compartmentalization of their own bullshit played out creatively in a safe space.

Lister-Jones is a revelation, at once funny and sweet yet human and accessible—a cool girl consumed by almost crippling levels of self-doubt, making her all the more authentic as a character. Pally charms as well as a selfproclaimed realist who, like Anna, can also access short-tempered cruelty in the heat of a fight—though, to both actors’ credit, we never doubt their love even as they take out their own frustrations on one another.

Band Aid is important viewing for anyone from couples to creatives grappling with their own shortcomings and doubts. Yes, it’s a romantic comedy, but by astutely avoiding the idea of the band as quick fix, a painful yet beautiful story emerges in one of the best indie films in years.

++ GAL GADOT ABLY BLENDS BEAUTY AND BRAWN

-- RATHER FORMULAIC

The long-overdue Wonder Woman film is an origin story that doesn’t shrink from the beauty or brawn of a hero in whom the parallels of ancient mythology and modern superhero fiction become literal.

Diana (Gal Gadot), the precocious daughter of Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), is a princess of the superhuman Amazons. The allfemale tribe, originally created by Zeus to protect mortals, eventually withdrew to the mystical

Filmmaker Zoe Lister-Jones (right) brings the pain (and healing) in Band Aid.

“Paradise Island” of Themyscira to escape man’s wickedness. But mankind interrupts paradise when American soldier and spy Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crash-lands on Diana’s doorstep, during World War I, with a squadron of Germans in pursuit.

As the far-off factions negotiate an armistice, a rogue German general (Danny Huston) and his maimed, mad chemist (Elena Anaya) concoct a new nerve agent that could tip the balance of the war. Hearing of the cataclysm and motivated by the mythological bedtime stories of her childhood, Diana comes to believe that only she can save the world by leaving Themyscira and vanquishing Ares, the Greek god of war and an enemy of the Amazons.

Arriving in World War I-era London, Diana peruses a new wardrobe to cover her utilitarian leather skirt and blend into a corseted, maledominated society as her alter ego, Diana Prince.

“How do you fight in this attire?” the warrior unironically asks, donning an outfit that evokes the fashion of the women’s suffrage movement.

The scene references the comic-book origins of Wonder Woman, whose creator, psychologist William Moulton Marston, was partly inspired by early-20th-century feminism.

Director Patty Jenkins (Monster) was originally tapped to direct Thor 2 before leaving the Marvel Studios project due to creative differences. For more than a decade, she lobbied to helm a Wonder Woman film, and then got the

gig after Michelle MacLaren dropped out. The result is the most grounded of the first four films in the evolving DC Extended Universe. It doesn’t reinvent the superhero origin story; it’s rather formulaic in that regard.

Pine’s able mix of wit and earnestness serves him well as Diana’s sherpa and latent love interest, and Gadot strikes the right balance as an alluring, even playful idealist who relishes the battle but not the war. Wonder Woman isn’t a transcendent movie heroine à la Ellen Ripley from Alien or Imperator Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road. But she is seminal, if not singular, in modern superhero cinema. (Neil Morris) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 141 min.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

6

++ GHOST PIRATES! -- GHOST PIRATES…

Johnny Depp and crew are back as Captain Jack Sparrow and a bunch of bafflingly yet inextricably linked seafaring types in the newest installment of Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer’s Pirates franchise.

Looks like Jack Sparrow ran afoul of a Spanish captain named Salazar (a wonderfully spooky Javier Bardem) some years ago and, as is the style of these films, that means supernatural curses for some reason and more acrobatic adventure for the likes of the formerly-also-cursed Barbossa

(Geoffrey Rush), Henry Turner (the son of Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner from previous films, as played by the incredibly conventionally handsome Brenton Thwaites from Gods of Egypt) and a brilliant if brash young scientist named Carina (The Maze Runner’s Kaya Scodelario).

Young Henry wants to save his dad from service on the ghost ship Flying Dutchman, but he’ll need the fabled trident of Poseidon to do so.

According to legend, anyone who’s got that thing is basically the king of the sea. The only catch is that to get that bad boy he’ll need a “map no man can read.” Good thing Carina is a woman (and also conveniently has the map), so they join Jack Sparrow to get that danged artifact while Salazar nips at their heels totally ready to kill everyone cause he straight crazy.

Whereas the series took a bizarre turn many films ago and chooses to favor ghosts and stuff over good old-fashioned pirating, Dead Men isn’t as bad as you’d think. This isn’t to say it’s great by any means—more like you’ll probably never find yourself bored. Depp is … fine as Sparrow, but we’ve of course grown accustomed to his Keith Richards-y bumbling and damn-near-unbelievable ability to piss off every fucking ghost and curse victim throughout the Seven Seas. Bardem is brilliant as always and actually provides a fun villain, it’s just that everything else is fairly predictable at this point. Paul McCartney’s cameo, however, is a pure delight, and we would have watched a whole movie just with him being a goofball. Still, pirates get stabbed, and what else are you doing?

ALIEN COVENANT

++ STUNNING VISUALS -- IF I CREATED RIDLEY SCOTT’S MANKIND, I’D GIVE UP ON THEM, TOO

In the futuristic world of 2104, which director Ridley Scott renders in jaw-dropping fashion, mankind has colonized planets and built synthetic humanoids. But they’ve also apparently abandoned wearing space suits and testing atmospheres—as they did in the previous Alien installment, Prometheus, which is set just 10 years earlier—and decided to wing it on a new planet. It does not go well.

Alien: Covenant is not a horror flick. It’s sci-fi.

There’s some quality suspense, but not a ton.

More than anything, the movie feels like a chapter, the conscience of which is Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice) as Daniels, who becomes the second-in-command aboard the colonization freighter Covenant. Waterston delivers some of the most important lines and seems to be the only one with the little voice in her head that says, “Maybe we shouldn’t.” If everyone played it safe,

War never changes, be it in Wonder Woman or, like, real life. this would admittedly be a boring movie about a long trip through space, but there’s no real drama to the decisions the crew must make.

Despite mankind’s advanced state of existence, the crew of 15 contains just three African Americans and one Hispanic. Sadly, the only notable role among them is Demián Bichir’s (The Hateful 8) Lope, a well-played security team leader. While Idris Elba was believable as a no-nonsense pilot in Prometheus, Danny McBride is less so as a ratty-straw-hat cowboy. He seems more at home steering a jet ski as Kenny Powers in HBO’s Eastbound and Down, and though McBride has shown range in non-comedic assignments, he seems miscast here.

Scott smartly homes in on Michael Fassbender who, despite being a humanoid, is the dark soul of the movie. Fassbender’s David has the same chip on his shoulder in Covenant as his Peter-O’Toole-obsessed self in Prometheus. His new iteration, Walter, is David’s less-inquisitive self. The interplay between them brings some of the movie’s most poignant moments.

Like Prometheus before it, Covenant scratches at a lot of larger issues but, ultimately, I want this film to do more. It doesn’t take much to get me to suspend disbelief in sci-fi—I want to be on that new planet or in that ship—but you’ve gotta try. Director Scott doesn’t seem to agree.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2

9

++ SO FUN, SO FUNNY, SO COOL -- NOT AS IMPACTFUL AS THE FIRST FILM

In a sea of ultra-serious films based on comic books, melodrama fatigue becomes a serious concern. Thank goodness then for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, another excellent outing for the lesser-known Marvel heroes and one of the most incredibly fun franchises currently hitting theaters.

Once again, we join Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and Groot (now in baby form but still voiced by Vin Diesel) as they unwittingly get swept up into the collective role of galactic saviors.

When Quill’s father Ego (an excellent Kurt Russell) finally tracks him down after 30-plus years of searching, the humorous hero learns of his origins and—get this—they are dubious.

Turns out his dad’s a god (“With a little ‘g,’” Ego says) with nefarious intentions, and the Guardians must step in to set him straight.

Of course, the two-pronged approach of

slapstick antics and absolutely killer soundtrack are the real draw here, but Guardians also manages to drive home some fairly heavy material on the topics of family drama, friendship and, almost surprisingly, love— though never in a way as silly as the overarching plot would lead us to believe. There are, in fact, some downright moving scenes shared between Quill and his sorta-kinda adoptive father Yondu (an exceedingly fun Michael Rooker). And all the while, great tunes from the likes of Looking Glass, Cat Stevens and ELO blare through the speakers through firefights and space battles, gravity-defying Pac-Man references and, gleefully, the reveal of the fate of one Howard the Duck.

Writer and director James Gunn absolutely nails the tone, and even when things become borderline too-serious, he knows just how to pull it out and make us laugh. Throw in excitingyet-brief appearances from heavyweights like Michelle Yeoh and Sylvester Stallone, and we’ve got what may be the perfect summer movie; the opening dance sequence alone is worth the price of admission.

MIND BODY SPIRIT CHIROPRACTIC Rob Brezsny

Week of June 21st

ARIES (March 21-April 19) There are places in the oceans where the sea floor cracks open and spreads apart from volcanic activity. This allows geothermally heated water to vent out from deep inside the earth.

Scientists explored such a place in the otherwise frigid waters around Antarctica. They were elated to find a “riot of life” living there, including previously unknown species of crabs, starfish, sea anemones, and barnacles.

Judging from the astrological omens, Aries, I suspect that you will soon enjoy a metaphorically comparable eruption of warm vitality from the unfathomable depths.

Will you welcome and make use of these raw blessings even if they are unfamiliar and odd?

Electric mud is one. It’s a scintillating mocha hue.

Visualize silver-blue sparkles emerging from moist dirt tones. Earthy and dynamic! Cybernatural is another special color for you. Picture sheaves of ripe wheat blended with the hue you see when you close your eyes after staring into a computer monitor for hours. Organic and glimmering! Your third pigment of power is pastel adrenaline: a mix of dried apricot and the shadowy brightness that flows across your nerve synapses when you’re taking aggressive practical measures to convert your dreams into realities. Delicious and dazzling!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Do you ever hide behind a wall of detached cynicism? Do you protect yourself TAURUS (April 20-May 20) I’m reporting from the first with the armor of jaded coolness? If so, here’s my annual Psychic Olympics in Los Angeles. For the past five proposal: In accordance with the astrological omens, days, I’ve competed against the world’s top mind-readI invite you to escape those perverse forms of comers, dice-controllers, spirit whisperers, spoon-benders, fort and safety. Be brave enough to risk feeling the angel-wrestlers, and stock market prognosticators. Thus vulnerability of hopeful enthusiasm. Be sufficiently far I have earned a silver medal in the category of chan- curious to handle the fluttery uncertainty that comes neling the spirits of dead celebrities. (Thanks, Frida Kahlo from exploring places you’re not familiar with and and Gertrude Stein!) I psychically foresee that I will also trying adventures you’re not totally skilled at. win a gold medal for most accurate fortune-telling.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “We must unlearn the Here’s the prophecy that I predict will cinch my victory: “People born in the sign of Taurus will soon be at the pin- constellations to see the stars,” writes Jack Gilbert in his poem “Tear It Down.” He adds that “We find out the nacle of their ability to get telepathically aligned with heart only by dismantling what the heart knows.” I invite people who have things they want and need.” you to meditate on these ideas. By my calculations, it’s GEMINI (May 21-June 20) While reading Virginia Woolf, time to peel away the obvious secrets so you can I found the perfect maxim for you to write on a slip of penetrate to the richer secrets buried beneath. It’s time paper and carry around in your pocket or wallet or under- to dare a world-changing risk that is currently obscured wear: “Let us not take it for granted that life exists more by easy risks. It’s time to find your real life hidden inside fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is the pretend one, to expedite the evolution of the commonly thought small.” In the coming weeks, dear authentic self that’s germinating in the darkness.

Gemini, I hope you keep this counsel simmering conCAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) When I was four years stantly in the back of your mind. It will protect you from the dreaminess and superstition of people around you. It old, I loved to use crayons to draw diagrams of the solar system. It seems I was already laying a foundawill guarantee that you’ll never overlook potent little breakthroughs as you scan the horizon for phantom mira- tion for my interest in astrology. How about you, Capricorn? I invite you to explore your early formative cles. And it will help you change what needs to be changed slowly and surely, with minimum disruption. memories. To aid the process, look at old photos and ask relatives what they remember. My reading of the CANCER (June 21-July 22) Now that you’ve mostly paid astrological omens suggests that your past can show off one of your debts to the past, you can go windowyou new clues about what you might ultimately shopping for the future’s best offers. You’re finally ready become. Potentials that were revealed when you were to leave behind a power spot you’ve outgrown and launch your quest to discover fresh power spots. So bid a wee tyke may be primed to develop more fully. farewell to lost causes and ghostly temptations, Cancerian. Slip away from attachments to traditions that longer move you and the deadweight of your original family’s expectations. Soon you’ll be empty and light and free — and ready to make a vigorous first impression when you encounter potential allies in the frontier.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) I suspect you will soon have an up-close and personal encounter with some form of lightning. To ensure it’s not a literal bolt shooting down out of a thundercloud, please refrain from taking long romantic strolls with yourself during a storm. Also, forgo any temptation you may have to stick your finger in electrical sockets. What I’m envisioning is a type of lightning that will give you a healthy metaphorical jolt. If any of your creative circuits are sluggish, it will jumpstart them. If you need to wake up from a dreamy delusion, the lovable lightning will give you just the right salutary shock.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) I often ride my bike into the hills. The transition from the residential district to open spaces is a narrow dirt path surrounded by thick woods on one side and a steep descent on the other.

Today as I approached this place there was a new sign on a post. It read “Do not enter: Active beehive forming in the middle of the path.” Indeed, I could see a swarm hovering around a tree branch that juts down low over the path. How to proceed? I might get stung if I did what I usually do. Instead, I dismounted from my bike and dragged it through the woods so I could join the path on the other side of the bees. Judging from the astrological omens, Aquarius, I suspect you may encounter a comparable interruption along a route that you regularly take. Find a detour, even if it’s inconvenient.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) I bet you’ll be extra creative in the coming weeks. Cosmic rhythms are nudging you towards fresh thinking and imaginative innovation, whether they’re applied to your job, your relationships, VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Signing up to read at the open your daily rhythm, or your chosen art form.

I like to hang out with people abandon at least 30 percent of your inhibitions. who are smarter than me. What works for you?
