STREET TALK

by Alex Sakariassen

Asked Tuesday evening at the southside KettleHouse Last week, a Google Survey made the rounds in Montana asking if people would support internment camps for Muslims. Internment camps haven’t been suggested, but there has been talk from the incoming administration of a Muslim registry. How would you respond to such a proposal? Follow-up: What is Fort Missoula best known for? Torry Avery: I think it’s absolutely outrageous. Having people register with the government based on their religious beliefs is a ballsy move, and is supported by a portion of the country that isn’t necessarily right. Cavalry call: It was one of the safer places in the wild, wild west when people were expanding West. Lacy Roberts: To me it goes against everything America stands for. This country was established on the idea that people could worship how they wanted, and I can’t believe something like that would be proposed. Grocery connection: Japanese internment camps, right? And the only person I know who was interned was the fellow who owned the Broadway Market. He actually came to Missoula as an internee. Drew Reinert: I would certainly object to a proposal for an internment camp based on someone’s religion, and to registries, too. Faceless enemy: I think we held Japanese there during World World II. In World War II it was easier because we were in a war with countries. Today, with terrorism, we don’t necessarily know who we’re against. Singling out someone based on their religion isn’t American.

Anthony Lozada: I’m totally against it, and if it came down to it, me not being a Muslim, I would register as a Muslim in solidarity with my Muslim friends. Repeating the past: The Japanese internment camps. I think it was a mistake then and it will be a mistake again if we choose to go that route.

Erick Greene: I think it’s awful. It’s a terrible idea ... We had internment camps and McCarthy-era lists. Nazis were really good at making lists. History lesson: It’s a doppelgänger of Fort Huachuca on the Arizona-Mexico border. That’s why the buildings out here are adobe-style. Then the internment camps, Japanese and Italian. Now, the University of Montana Field Research Station.

The bitter ends Regarding “Don’t spread the love” (Nov. 17), I found it a little odd that the perspectives from both authors seemed pretty positive and unbiased, but both chose to end their commentary with what they portray as negatives. The girl crying in the bathroom could have been crying for any number of reasons. Maybe it was guilt, maybe it was conviction in her heart, or maybe she just found out bad news. The guy who texted the question that “wasn't a joke” doesn’t in any way take away from the message. Maybe the pastor simply didn't know how to respond at that moment. Pastors are like any of us, they can sometimes make a joke to lighten a situation. I'm always afraid to read these things because I used to be atheist and I know how many people feel about religion and God. I made fun of it all for most of my life. As a believer now, I still can’t stand religion. I'm about Jesus. Anyway, I appreciate that the Missoula Independent covered this event and came at it with what seems like an open mind. It just confused me why both authors felt it necessary to try to get a dig in at the end. Anna Starkel Missoula

Standing against hate Certain people may be vulnerable in the wake of our presidential election. It's not what Trump will do, it's what others will feel emboldened to do because of his hateful rhetoric. What happens when the man who gets elected to the highest office in the land: 1) Talked about men grabbing women in the crotch, and found humor in it. There are men who think that women are objects for their pleasure—what will they do now? 2) Mocked a reporter with a disability. It's not funny, it's dangerous. In Nazi Germany people with disabilities were either sterilized or exterminated. 3) Said hateful things about Muslims, Mexicans, the LGBT community and people of color, which may embolden others to carry out hate crimes. The KKK is on the rise and swastikas are showing up all over the country. Hate literature already distributed

in Missoula again blames Jewish people for our problems. 4) Said hateful things about immigrants, which makes international students and international visitors feel not only unwelcome in this country, but fearful for their safety. What a rich source of cultural diversity we will be losing! We know that people who voted for Trump had good reasons for doing so. But now all of us together have to make it clear

“We know that people who voted for Trump had good reasons for doing so. But now all of us together have to make it clear to our government officials at all levels that we will not stand for hate and hate crimes.”

to our government officials at all levels that we will not stand for hate and hate crimes. To paraphrase a famous quote by the anti-Nazi pastor Martin Niemöller, "They came first for the LGBT community, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't LGBT." Do we think we are safe because we are white and Christian? But are we white enough? Are we the right kind of Christian? Edmond Burke said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Frankie and Mike Flaherty Missoula

A mandate to engage Clinton won the popular vote even though Trump took the presidency. Republicans lost seats in both houses of Congress but maintained control. There is a mandate here that challenges us to engage powerfully. The burden is on us and I believe this will be the fight to determine our generation’s legacy. Local governments will be key. Acting Mayor Marilyn Marler wrote a letter in response to the election saying that city government will protect the values we cherish. We need to hold them accountable and demand visionary leadership. Our town is home to a Nobel laureate climate scientist, in a country that is changing policy to deny the existence of climate change. Can we become a carbon neutral city? Or incentivize alternative energy? Or expand our bike network? Initiate a free bikeshare program? I am a quiet victim of sexual assault in a city that was investigated by the Department of Justice for its mishandling of rape cases. Our community has worked hard to heal from this, but I fear this election may validate a paradigm that we are struggling to change. Can we invest in programs to empower girls? Institutionalize the teaching of consent from an early age? Press the state to redefine rape? We are opening our community to some of the world’s most vulnerable populations while our president is threatening deportation and registration of Muslims. Missoula is a Welcoming Communities member—can we do more? Can we declare ourselves a sanctuary city? What can we offer humanity at this pivotal moment? These are the difficult conversations that I hope to see at city hall and between friends over beer, families over dinner, co-workers at the water cooler—we all need to be having these conversations. Don’t despair. Don’t disengage. Call our congressmen often! Participate in peaceful protest! Support nonprofits working to protect your values! Volunteer! Denounce hatred in all its forms! Rest. Make love. Have dinner parties. Dance. Connect with people and feed your soul. This is going to be a long, arduous journey. We need to take care of ourselves—and each other—along the way.

WEEK IN REVIEW

VIEWFINDER

by Joe Weston

Wednesday, Nov. 16 Blackfeet tribal member Elouise Cobell posthumously receives a Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama. Cobell led the class-action lawsuit against the federal government that resulted in a $3.4 billion settlement in 2009. She died in 2011 at age 65.

Thursday, Nov. 17 The Missoula County Sheriff’s Office releases the names of two Pyramid Lumber Mill employees who were killed on the same day in separate incidents. David Solum, 60, of Condon, died in a car crash on Highway 83, and Philip Pohlman, 66, of Seeley Lake, died in a work accident.

Friday, Nov. 18 MADD releases its annual report on its Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving, examining which states employ the most effective DUI prevention measures, such as ignition interlock requirements, alcohol refusal statutes and sobriety checkpoints. Montana ranks rock bottom.

Saturday, Nov. 19 In the 116th Brawl of the Wild, the Montana Grizzlies lose to the Bobcats 24-17. At least we have record enrollment to soothe us—oh, wait, right.

Sunday, Nov. 20 Missoula County sheriff’s deputies arrest three suspects after a high-speed chase in which one man stood up through the sunroof and brandished a gun while careening through Bonner. Authorities say suspect Roger Gillespie recently escaped from a Butte pre-release center and stole a vehicle with accomplices Jacob Siebert and Shelby Shields.

Monday, Nov. 21 The state commissioner of political practices dismisses an ethics complaint against Gov. Steve Bullock. Commissioner Jonathan Motl says a complaint about Bullock’s use of the state plane was a late attempt to “embarrass” the governor during the campaign season.

University of Montana quarterback Brady Gustafson is pressured by a clowder of Bobcats during the Griz’s 24-17 loss to Montana State in the Brawl of the Wild on Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The Griz end their season with a 3-5 record in conference play.

Blackfeet win big Good news just kept rolling in for Montana’s Blackfeet Tribe on Nov. 16. The U.S. House Natural Resources Committee unanimously approved the long-labored Blackfeet water rights settlement. Activist Elouise Cobell was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell formally announced the cancellation of 15 oil leases on 32,000 acres in the Badger-Two Medicine region—capping a battle Blackfeet Chairman Harry Barnes has called the “work of our generation.” That Barnes and a delegation of Blackfeet leaders and nonprofit allies happened to be in Washington, D.C., to watch it all unfold was a happy coincidence. The contingent had arrived in the nation’s capital to host a screening at the National Museum of the American Indian of Our Last Refuge, a documentary about the fight to preserve the Badger-Two Medicine for environmental

and sacred purposes. Casey Perkins, who was present on behalf of the Montana Wilderness Association, called it a “tremendous day” for the Blackfeet. “We’re really tying together lots of major themes here,” she said, “and it’s all happening right now.” The lease cancellations are a particular cause for celebration. Of the 47 oil and natural gas leases issued within the 130,000-acre Badger-Two Medicine in the 1980s, only two now remain. According to Perkins, one of those belongs to a small Texas-based company called Moncrief Oil. The other is owned by a family trust. Perkins says efforts are ongoing to contact those leaseholders and encourage them to withdraw their claims. Over the past few years, Sen. Jon Tester has increasingly put pressure on the federal government to heed the Blackfeet’s concerns. Last week’s announcement was a major victory, Tester said, both for tribal members and for future generations who wish to “experience a little bit of God’s infrastructure unspoiled.” He commended leaseholder Devon Energy for voluntarily agree-

ing to the cancellation, adding that company president Dave Hager told him after the announcement that it was “the right thing to do.” Asked if Donald Trump’s presidential victory had any bearing on the timing of the cancellation, Tester said no. “This was set in motion a long, long time ago and just happened to come together when it came together.” Despite last week’s win, the Blackfeet Tribe and its partners still have considerable work ahead if the Badger-Two Medicine is to remain undisturbed by resource extraction. A lawsuit filed by Solenex over the government’s cancellation of its lease this spring is now winding its way through U.S. District Court. And even if all the leases are finally retired, Perkins says, longterm protections still need to be discussed. “At this stage of the game,” she says, “we’re talking a lot more about the values everyone wants to see protected and who needs to be part of the process, rather than what vehicle is the right vehicle to use to get us there.” Alex Sakariassen

[news] Weed-biz reboot

Access still out of reach Not long after Election Day, Missoula medical marijuana provider Bobby Long took on his newest patient. He had to move fast. The Ronan man was nearing the end of his life and was rapidly running out of the cannabis heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used to ease his multiple sclerosis, Long explains. But helping one patient meant dropping another. Despite the passage of Initiative 182, Long is currently still limited to just three patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patients are running out of medicine, they are out of medicine now,â&#x20AC;? says Long, owner of downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flower storefront. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The situation is getting more and more dire.â&#x20AC;? The problem comes down to a clerical error in the language of I-182â&#x20AC;&#x201D;an error that delays rollback of the three-patient limit until June 30, 2017. Medical marijuana advocates are hoping the Montana Legislature will address the situation when it convenes in January. Long has even posted online appeals for Gov. Steve Bullock to step in. In the meantime, elation over I-182â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong electoral success has given way to a frustrating and painful waiting game for providers and more than 10,000 patients who have lost access. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really difficult to see how many people are suffering,â&#x20AC;? says provider Katrina Farnum of Garden Mother Herbs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people who are not past clients of mine who have come to me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What can I do? What can I take?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The clerical error isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Farnumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only post-election concern. With the Aug. 31 implementation of a new set of industry restrictions, scores of suddenly provider-less patients across the state had their medical marijuana cards revoked. Obtaining those cards, which are good for one year, can cost patients considerable time and money in physician visits and state fees, Farnum says. But with the Montana Department of Health and Human Services not reinstating those cards, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fearful of the added burden on patients that re-registering and navigating the inevitable paperwork backlog will entail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be like two months every year that the state has thousands and thousands and thousands of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paperwork to process, which is going to be mind-blowing,â&#x20AC;? Farnum says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen quickly.â&#x20AC;? In the face of these difficulties, Farnum and Long are continuing to do what they can to help those they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide for. Farnum has tried to find alternative herbal remedies to alleviate pain, nausea and sleeplessness. Long

continues to use his downtown storefront as a photography gallery and â&#x20AC;&#x153;landing pointâ&#x20AC;? for outreach on the medical marijuana issue, though he acknowledges that a further eight-month delay of business would â&#x20AC;&#x153;financially hurt me a lot.â&#x20AC;? Most importantly, both are doing everything they can to address confusion and keep people calm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a light at the end of the tunnel now,â&#x20AC;? Long says, in reference to I-182. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how close it is.â&#x20AC;? Alex Sakariassen

Our dumb internet

Inside Google Surveys On Nov. 17, a startling survey question appeared on the Missoulianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you support or oppose placing Muslims living in America in temporary internment camps?â&#x20AC;? The Missoulian was quick to respond and apologize to readers. Editor Kathy Best tells the Independent that Google wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclose who submitted the question. Like other companies with Google advertising contracts, the paper has no control over the survey questions that appear on its site. A Missoulian note to readers published Nov. 18 says the paper â&#x20AC;&#x153;moved quickly to have the question taken down and has apologized to readers who objected to it. Lee has registered its objections with Google and encouraged it to improve its vetting process for Google Survey questions.â&#x20AC;? It remains a mystery who submitted the internment camp question, what their intention might have been, or what filters Google applies to survey questionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard to confirm that any individual or business can quickly and easily commission a Google Survey on almost any topic. To test this, Independent reporters devised our own Google Survey with three questions designed to probe Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filters: 1) Would you support free college education for Trump voters? 2) What style of headgear do you most commonly wearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;baseball cap, cowboy hat, or white hood? 3) What color dog do you preferâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;black, brown or white? Google Surveys allows users to target questions to a

Pounds of food collected in Missoula for the annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can the Bobcatsâ&#x20AC;? food drive tied to the Brawl of the Wild football game. The Griz lost the drive yet again this year, as â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Cats supporters collected 327,124 pounds of food.

On Monday evening, Nov. 21, approximately 50 people gathered inside the Missoula Senior Citizens Center to talk about cultural appropriation and Missoulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival of the Dead celebration. Facilitators Heidi Wallace and Jesse Jaeger, who both work for the nonprofit Empower Montana, projected a PowerPoint against a backdrop of bright quilts, a dance floor, and a large bingo board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all at different places in our learning about oppression and privilege,â&#x20AC;? Wallace told the small crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be meeting each other where we are at. But we do want you to lean into discomfort and also know that listening respectfully does not mean youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re agreeing.â&#x20AC;? The event, titled A Community Conversation: Building Bridges Across Group Lines, sprung out of recent controversy about whether the local festival was appropriating Latin American culture. The Zootown Arts Community Center, which organizes the festival and parade, invited Empower Montana to lead the discussion. The nonprofit works with schools and businesses to resolve conflict around oppression and prejudice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's something that's important to us to keep talking about,â&#x20AC;? said ZACC executive director Kia Liszak. Over the course of two hours, participants split into small groups to talk about ways in which oppression manifests, and how organizations and communities can â&#x20AC;&#x153;interruptâ&#x20AC;? cycles of oppression. At one point, the facilitators asked the mostly Anglo audience to stand if they fit into a certain categoryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Native American, female, low-income, high-income, European descentâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; and everyone was asked to clap and cheer for each group. The discussion about the Festival of the Dead started online, simmering in the realm of long, sometimes angry Facebook threads. At the Senior Citizens Center the tone was more civil, though not much got done in terms of deciding what the Festival of the Dead means to Missoula. But it was a startâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which is, Liszak says, maybe what we needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things I realized is that we all had to take a step back and say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How do we even start to look at these issues?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Liszak says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I think it's helpful for a lot of other things that are facing our country now.â&#x20AC;?

region or state. We chose Montana. Survey prices start at 10 cents per response and go up to $3 per response for multiple questions and location targeting. We opted to pay $45 for 30 responses, and submitted our survey for review. Within a few minutes, we had an email from a Google employee named Kelvin who asked us to edit our survey to include â&#x20AC;&#x153;none of the aboveâ&#x20AC;? options for our multiple-choice questions. The questions themselves apparently passed Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s muster. We emailed Kelvin and asked if we could find out which websites would feature our survey. A few hours later we got a reply from a different staffer named Agnes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cannot tell which are the websites since each survey is distributed across a diverse network of publishers in different content categories to ensure a wide mix of respondent types,â&#x20AC;? Agnes wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not currently possible to select certain publisher categories to target.â&#x20AC;? After making Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required edits, our survey went live on Nov. 19. By Monday, Nov. 21, we had our 30 responses. Almost 60 percent of respondents did not support the idea of free college education for Trump voters; 24 percent were undecided. On the headgear question, no respondent selected â&#x20AC;&#x153;white hood,â&#x20AC;? which we find encouraging. Most respondents also preferred almost any color dog other than brown, black or white, selecting â&#x20AC;&#x153;none of the above.â&#x20AC;? Demographic data included respondentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gender, estimated age, urban density of residence, income and parental status. Our final communication from Google was a cheery email offering $15 off our next survey. Kate Whittle

rehabilitation Nov. 2016 to summer 2017 Headache level: High for campus commuters. Sometime in January or February, traffic will be limited to two lanes of the current four. On the bright side, the pedestrian underbridge will remain open during construction. Project goal: Repair of the bridge’s failing deck, plus aesthetic improvements, new railings, expanded sidewalks and protected bike lanes.

With major traffic projects like Hillview Way and the downtown street light improvement wrapped up, it might seem like smooth sailing ahead for Missoula motorists—but not so fast. Some of Missoula’s most highly trafficked routes are getting big renovations in the year to come. When all’s said and done, Missoula’s interstate exits and several cross-town routes should be better able to handle the flow. Here’s a guide to some of the projects to watch for in the coming year, according to the Montana Department of Transportation.

The project is on pause for the winter, but come spring, work on the off-ramps will begin again. Expect detours. Project goal: A five-spoke roundabout, sidewalks, street lights and retaining walls. Until then, hikers can take advantage of the new trailhead parking lot at the base of the North Hills, which is already complete.

[3] Van Buren roundabout Projected start summer 2017 Headache level: To be determined. Project goal: Preliminary plans call for two single-lane roundabouts on the eastbound and westbound entrance ramps, as well as improved bike paths and transparent noise barriers.

[4] Russell Street expansion Projected start summer 2017 Headache level: Probably massive. Project goal: Russell Street from Mount to West Broadway is getting a longdiscussed widening from two to four lanes, with improvements including sidewalks, bus pullouts and street lights. The aging Russell Street bridge is also set to be rehabbed and widened to four lanes. kwhittle@missoulanews.com

To: Readers, birders, walkers, watchers—you know the type Field Notes from the Montana Natural History Center Montana Public Radio has been airing the Montana Natural History Center’s Field Notes program for 25 years, featuring stories on basically anything you can find in Montana’s great outdoors: bluebirds, spiders, geological formations, animal tracks, bats, slime mold and the whole natural science ball of wax. MNH’s new book showcases 134 of these observations, accompanied with illustrations by local artists and a cover by gifted painter Stephanie Frostad. The collection, organized by season, serves as a survey of the program’s best pieces, but it also offers a peek into how animals, plants, their habitats and behaviors have changed—or stayed the same—over the last two decades. How much: $17.95 Where to find it: The Montana Natural History Center, 120 Hickory St. #A, or online at montananaturalist.org.

To: Your BFF who is perfect in every way except that her lips are always the same color

Frog Prince lipstick When shopping for the beauty obsessive in your life, steer clear of drugstore eyeshadow kits. Instead, check out the “Frog Prince” lipstick made by boutique makeup company Lipstick Queen. Frog Prince looks bright green in the tube, but upon application it reacts to the pH of the wearer’s lips and turns a dusky rose—the specific color varies based on the wearer’s individual chemistry. And after the novelty wears off, the moisturizing formula and flattering tint stay put. How much: $25 Where to find it: Smooch Boutique, 541 E. Main St.

To: People who cling to rocks Houdini chalk bag from TUFA Missoula native Josh Kornish started making his own chalk bags with his mom’s sewing machine and then perfected his skills under the tutelage of hang glider craftsman Jeff Shapiro. Kornish’s Bozeman-based company, TUFA, sells several types of chalk bags through its website and Etsy. The Houdini, in particular, is designed for alpinists climbing in especially windy areas—like Blodgett Canyon—because it’s compact but still includes a pocket big enough to hold a wind shirt. The Houdini is made with a waterproof YKK zipper and features compartments for multi-pitch gear, headlamps, keys and smartphone. It’s 5 inches by 8.5 inches, weighs 3 ounces and comes in a variety of colors. And the name? Kornish says when he thinks “Houdini” he imagines “being able to bust out a really complicated hat trick on the wall.” (EF) How much: $35 Where to find it: tufaclimbing.com

To: That guy on the campout who keeps falling down in the dark Luci camping lanterns Everyone’s done it: stubbed their toe in a dark campground because some idiot forgot to pack spare headlamp batteries. Well, get ready to kiss those annoying little AAAs goodbye. Nestled at The Trail Head’s front desk is the Luci Lantern, a convenient and environmentally friendly spin on those antique oil lamps. These little solar-powered gizmos collapse to fit pretty much anywhere, and when the sun begins to set, all it takes is a few puffs of air to inflate them. The best part is, because it’s made of plastic, the Luci Lantern is completely waterproof. Finding a thirsty tree past midnight just got a whole lot easier.

To: Girls who wanna have fun The Satisfyer Pro II Give a special lady in your life a scintillating treat with the Satisfyer Pro II, a German-made silicone vibrator. A sales clerk at Adam and Eve advises us that the Satisfyer boasts a satisfyingly large shaft and a tip featuring the latest trend in vibrators: a suction nozzle. The clerk tells us that the suction nozzle most definitely—to put it delicately—gets the user where they’re going. (KW ) How much: $106.95 Where to find it: Adam and Eve, 1401 W. Broadway St.

To: Artisanal tipplers Ceramic flasks It’s harder than you’d think to find a drinking accoutrement that can double as a family heirloom. Enter the Montana-made ceramic flasks by Carlburg Pottery in the Flathead area. Each handmade 5-7 ounce flask is slightly different, but all feature gorgeously subtle color schemes and small cork stoppers. We wouldn’t suggest trying to smuggle one of these flasks into a rowdy concert, but they do serve as a lovely container for your favorite nightcap once you get home, or just an objet d’art to spruce up your bar cart.

YWCA membership

Prints by the “American Badass” guy Since Sidney-based Meadowlark Brewing started rolling out four-packs of its Teddy Roosevelt American Badass Imperial Wheat IPA last year, Montanans have been raving about the label. Meadowlark commissioned California illustrator Jason Heuser to do the art, and what Heuser came up with was epic: a sword-toting Teddy bedecked in Evel Knievel garb charging into battle in the bed of an El Camino driven by a grizzly bear. The label isn’t Heuser’s first dance with presidential absurdity. The guy’s Etsy page is a treasure-trove of what-ifs. What if Ronald Reagan went to war atop a velociraptor? What if J.F.K. rode a robotic unicorn across the face of the moon? What if Richard Nixon battled a saber-toothed tiger with nothing more than a set of brass knuckles? Any one of these chuckle-inducing prints would be right at home on a Missoula wall, and each one comes signed by the mad genius responsible for Montana’s best beer label. (AS) How much: $25 for an 11-by-17-inch print on high gloss paper Where to find it: Order online at etsy.com/shop/sharpwriter

Cheer up your favorite progressive gal while supporting the community at large by donating to the YWCA in her name. An annual membership is affordable, guarantees a 20 percent discount on all purchases at YWCA Secret Seconds thrift stores and, most importantly, benefits the nonprofit’s local work to address racism and help women escape domestic abuse.

A piece of the Berlin Wall If they think a political border should be defined and enforced by a wall, then there’s a better than good chance they’ve never been anywhere near a border or lived anywhere near a wall. “Building the wall” to preserve “national sovereignty” is as dumb an idea as encouraging “media literacy” by “banning fake news.” There are very legitimate reasons to reconsider current immigration laws, but building a big fence is an ostentatiously stupid idea, for many reasons that are easily discovered. Besides, walls don’t work. You think the Great Wall of China separates anything anymore? It’s lucky to still be standing. The Berlin Wall is an even better case in point. It was built in 1961 and it came down in a rush in 1989. Twenty-eight years. We’ll pay to build it (you think Mexico can afford it?) and sooner rather than later we’ll pay to tear it down. And then we’ll try to sell the pieces on eBay and wonder what ever happened to that promise about bringing manufacturing jobs back to America. The rubble of the Berlin Wall is readily available on eBay. You can spend all sorts of money on it, and any of it could well be fake, but who cares? It’s just a symbol.

Underarm dye job

Behring Made Two-Piece Red Stag Woodcraft knife

Salute (and delight?) a hirsute loved one with a gift certificate for a one-ofa-kind hair dye from Canvas Studios, where Andrea Caffrey specializes in coloring underarm hair. It’s the latest beauty trend for razor-averse women (and men) who want to show off their pits and celebrate their body’s natural hair by staining it a brilliant neon color. (KW ) How much: $40 for to 50-minute process Where to find it: Canvas Studios, 429 Madison St., or canvasmissoula.com

Look, we all know that pretty little pocket knife is mostly for show—you’d survive just fine even if you had to walk eight feet and get a pair of scissors out of the drawer every time you wanted to pop a tag. But if you’re ready to admit that what you actually desire is an artfully forged heirloom/conversation piece/lumberjack fetish object, then you can begin to fathom the appeal of a piece of work like, say, the Two-Piece Red Stag Woodcraft. Hand-forged and finished in Missoula, like all Behring Made knives, this one measures 9 1/2 inches butt to point. And though it’s almost impossible to imagine batoning even a little bitty log with this lovely an object, there’s no doubt it would do the job. (The exact knife pictured is from the company’s archive, and already sold, but they can make you one pretty much just like it.) You’re probably either wealthy beyond reason and/or inexplicably happily married to Billy (or Betty) Bushcrafter if you’d even consider spending this kind of money on a knife, but there’s precious little chance Billy (or Betty) won’t like it if you do.

Admittedly, this isn’t our most mature moment, but we can’t help but find something grimly funny about the “Donald Chump” blow-up sex toy doll. If the president-elect is going to blow us all up, we might as well return the favor while we can. We’re just not sure who to give this to—some local abstinence program, maybe?

No 9-to-5 routine, but a life of creativity, flexibility, and mobility every month of the year.” So begins the 2,148-word online pitch from current owner David Lewis, who’s looking to pass the mag—his “child”—into good hands after 20 years of publishing in Livingston and distributing in Park and Gallatin counties. Lewis says he’s got it running like a well-oiled machine, with turn-key profits and growth potential out the wazoo. It sounds pretty sweet. In fact, if you don’t buy it, I might.

Where to give ’til it hurts How do you punk a politician and do a good deed for your community? You give them credit where none is due. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has worked hard to defund Planned Parenthood and pass legislation to restrict access to abortion services, but since he was elected vice president, 46,000 donations have been made to the nonprofit in his name, which should have generated 46,000 certificates of support sent to the Pence home. Whomever your family or friends voted for on Election Day, you can give them the gift of recognition as a community do-gooder—at least nominally— by sending money on their behalf to local organizations that support human rights and environmental justice. Missoula has lots of nonprofits doing great work, so take your pick. Here are a few for consideration.

Gone rogue Demagogues, dystopia, and democracy’s descent to a deep, dark place by Kevin Canty

few weeks ago, in what now seems like another era, a question came across social media: What fictional character does Trump resemble? Easy, I thought. The classic mountebank, the patent swindler, a W.C. Fields character or the Wizard of Oz. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! We’ve always liked the rogues. The Duke and the Dauphin make entertaining company for Huck and Jim, at least until they steal Jim and sell him into slavery. The card sharps in The Lady Eve are, in their own way, more honest than the society crowd they hoodwink. We’ve never really trusted the self-righteous, the earnest, the prim. If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying, as they say in football. In the cold light of morning, things look a little different. Now that we have flipped him the keys and buckled ourselves in for the ride, some of us are wondering how this happened, and why. The how seems easier to answer. “Let them call me a racist. It don’t make any difference. Whole heap of folks in this country feel the same way I do. Race is what’s going to win this thing for me.” That’s George Wallace, running for president in 1968, as quoted in Marshall Frady’s wonderful biography Wallace. It’s the populist playbook as it developed in the South with Huey Long and Big Jim Folsom: Split off the white vote, keep everybody mad at each other, pick their pockets while they’re fighting. Sing the praises of the common man and run the liberals down. “When the liberals and the intellectuals say the people don’t have any sense, they’re talking about us people,” Wallace said. “The fellow on the street has got a better mind and instincts than these sissybritches intellectual morons like the editor of the Birmingham News.” Does this start to sound familiar? It ought to; a toned-down version of this same program was adopted by the Nixon campaign and renamed the “Southern strategy.” It’s been the heart of the Republican playbook ever since. That’s why so many of Trump’s euphemisms seem to have a kind of old-fashioned quality, like “inner city” as a code for “black.” Our imaginary crime wave is a leftover from Nixon, too—keep the people scared, keep them separate.

Trump recycles these old codes to remind his voters of the good white days, like a wedding band playing “Brown-Eyed Girl.” It gives the old people something to dance to. These divisive tactics have been working for 50 years. It’s a disappointment to find that they still work. It seems possible that the 9/11 attacks gave us a sense of solidarity, a notion of ourselves as one people that led to our first black president. We’re over that now. We’re back to us and them. What comes next is a mountain of debt, a series of big showy public works enterprises, and a renewed call for “law and order,” by which the administration will mean a militarized repression of dissent. The “why” in this case seems more mysterious. This is a massive case of self-harm; the first six months of a Trump administration will find our country at its weakest and most vulnerable point in my lifetime, as Trump attempts to figure out what a president does and how he does it, as he scrambles to fill his administration with the dregs of Washington. Nearly every member of the Republican policy team begged us not to do this, and as a result they are his enemies. The loyalists he has drafted to run the country are as inept a bunch of bunglers as you could find. The one enterprise that will be James Todd’s “The New Idol” inspired by Friedrich Nietzche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra. undertaken with drive and means that you won’t have health care any- and the Mockingjay series to Station Eleven determination is the corporate looting spree more.) White people ask: What about me? and Oryx and Crake. Young adult fiction in particular seems to be dominated by postthat Ryan and McConnell are preparing. What about my needs? Look at me! So: Why? Maybe just for the same reasons Some of this, probably. But also some- apocalyptic visions. And what’s strange and a teenager takes a razor blade to his arm. Do thing darker, something deeper. We’ve bothersome about this is that the things we some damage, get people to pay attention to spent the last couple of decades psychically imagine tend to come true, maybe because you, even if it hurts for a minute. (Even if it preparing for catastrophe, from The Road we already know them in some deep place

but don’t want to acknowledge them. I had thought that these dark imaginings came from our anticipation of ecological collapse, the knowledge that we carry on with our everyday lives while the planet’s ability to sustain human life at this scale is coming rapidly to an end. But maybe not. Maybe there was always some deep longing to find out what comes after the end. Some impatience with the placid, settled life, with trivialities like civil life and civil liberties. I don’t know; my suspicion is that this national choice can’t be explained in the daylight. This is an eruption of dark forces, a message from the unconscious. Trump is a thing from the shadows. There’s a novel somewhere that might explain it, if there’s time to write one. But it doesn’t matter why. We need to start from where we are and do what we can. We need to take care of ourselves and our people. We need to stop underestimating our opponent; he’s no fool, though he plays one on television. We need to stop taking the bait, stop talking about the musical and start talking about the assault on retirement, health care and dissent. In the immortal words of Erik “Fingers” Ray of Conrad, Montana, “Don’t poke a steaming turd.” Meanwhile, the Arctic this week is 36 degrees above its historical average. We have elected a person who says that climate change is a Chinese hoax. Our children will curse our names, long after we are dead. arts@missoulanews.com

Shameless rip off or loving tribute? These are just words. The Chris Robinson Brotherhood cherry picks its influences from the same era, but from an entirely different orchard. The band’s latest release is only five songs, but it covers a broad spectrum. With its handclaps, Leslie organ and fuzzy guitar break, “New Cannonball Rag” is a soulful platter featuring Robinson’s raspy bluesyowl piled high with Muscle Shoals goodness. The band's genre-bending is confident but relaxed on “Roan County Banjo,” which starts with a stoned-inthe-barnyard feel and down-home lyrics like, “Holly, put the kettle on, it’s been morning now for days /There’s a rooster in the kitchen, says he ain’t been paid.” About halfway into this eight-minute voyage, a shimmering tambourine signals a shift to mid-period

Beatles pop, with plenty of sonic synthesizer treats like digital doinks and spiraling warbles in the mix. Curiously, there is no banjo. This collection feels like a natural progression from Any Way You Love, We Know How You Feel, released earlier this year. On that album’s “Forever is the Moon,” Robinson dips into the Big Bag o’ Dylan Lyrics for lines like, “Give my regards to the captain of the guards who has lost his sabre / While in the back room the boys have it large and his mistress, she sets the table.” Not quite “Desolation Row.” More like “Ennui Cul-de-Sac.” The Chris Robinson Brotherhood has emerged from the Crowes’ long shadow, infusing their jam band excursions with tons of tasty musical details, creating a solid framework for one of the best rock ’n’ roll voices of his generation. (Ednor Therriault) The Chris Robinson Brotherhood plays the Wilma Tue., Nov. 29, at 8 PM. $25–$35 advance.

Modality, Under the Shadow of This Red Rock Modality, which started with former locals Clark Grant and Ben Weiss making refreshingly not-quite-rock, not-quite-pop kosmische music, now seems to exist on some spacious new kind of plane. “Rarefied Airwaves,” the first track off its new album, Under the Shadow of this Red Rock, sounds like the analog synthesizing of both Kraftwerk and Florian Fricke’s Popul Vuh, which provided soundtrack music for Werner Herzog movies, among other things. The band’s members live in Missoula, Butte and Blacksburg, Virginia, and Under the Shadow has the distinction of being the first double LP ever released from any of those places. Which also makes it the best. I do find myself gravitating toward the record’s more organized stuff versus the long-form space

jams, but the recording quality is solid and the record’s cohesion between more structured songs and improvised material speaks to the strength of the band’s vision. When the old Missoula free-rock band Poor School played a reunion show last summer, I talked to Modality’s Ben Weiss about the summer tour they’d just gotten back from. Among other wild venues, the band had played Cube Fest, at Virginia Tech, where band member Charles Nichols teaches. The venue’s website describes its mission as celebrating “the cutting edge of multichannel music, spatial sound, and audio technology...” I think that perfectly captures Modality’s strange style and speaks to the forward-thinking risks the band is taking. (Josh Vanek)

Dangers, The Bend in the Break Los Angeles’ Dangers makes the kind of hardcore punk so many of us need right now. The Bend in the Break is a rollercoaster ride of whiplash drums, whirling minor-key riffs and occasional instrumental breakdowns that provide brief pauses for breath before the next big freefall of noise. Frontman Alfred Brown IV screams with what sounds like genuinely angry desperation. His dusky vocals evoke Murder City Devils’ Spencer Moody, and some of the imagery in his lyrics is equally character-driven. Dangers dips into politics much more than MCD ever did, though, at least on this record. But unlike, say, Minor Threat or Dead Kennedys, Dangers doesn’t make its point overly obvious. The band’s members, who are

ethnically diverse (pretty rare for a hardcore band), don’t seem to be telling anyone how to feel so much as laying bare their take on the current social and political climate. In “It’s the Devil I Love,” Brown yell-sings about sexual assault: “No matter how much you pray, no matter how much you hide, there’s a dorm, there’s a church full of American boys drunk on American thighs.” And on “Loose Cigarettes” he acknowledges his own helpless position with, “Like four hundred years of loaded guns might somehow be undone by singing songs.” It’s not a meme-worthy call to action so much as a big mirror being held up to America’s collective face. And the anger, if not the honesty, makes for some kind of catharsis. (Erika Fredrickson)

Silence is golden Pursuit makes a strong case for quiet space by Molly Laich

THIRD PERFORMANCE ADDED!

Can you not hear me now?

Silence and stillness are themes that keep coming up in the independent films playing in Missoula over the last several weeks. The refrain makes me think the lessons are important. First, we had the Montana-made feature Certain Women, marked by its profound subtlety. After that we got Moonlight, about people living distinctly different lives in Miami—and yet, in many ways, they’re the same film. Both are explorations of humanity that require a patience few films are willing to ask of us. Finally, this week we have In Pursuit of Silence, a documentary by director Patrick Shen that really drives the point home. What is silence? Where do we find it? And why do we need it in our lives? The film begins with a series of long, beautiful shots of still places in nature and elsewhere, where it’s quiet enough to hear leaves rustling in the wind and voices carried from far off in the background. It’s tranquil and meditative, for sure, but resist the urge to impatience. Soon enough, In Pursuit of Silence starts talking to experts and practitioners in the fields of noise and silence, and there’s a surprising amount to learn. On a decibel level, for example, silence doesn’t actually exist. In one illuminating segment, a subject in the film enters an anechoic chamber, which is a room designed to eliminate all exterior sound. Even in this place, you can hear the sound of blood flowing through your veins. We learn about scientists in Japan who study the therapeutic benefits of extended stays in the forest. The effect is not just on mood, but on physiological diseases like cancer. And then there’s the composer John Cage, who in the early 1950s infuriated audiences with a symphonic composition consisting of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. What do you think about that? Does the very thought of it make you mad? If so, why?

I have some experience with the subject. On four different occasions I’ve gone on Buddhist meditation retreats that demand total silence for nine out of 10 days. The silence serves a purpose. It keeps you focused on the task of meditating and it prevents you from telling lies. Every time I go to these things, I say to myself, “What on earth have I done?” and “Never again.” Still, every couple of years I find myself wanting to return. Bizarre things happen inside your head when you stop constantly distracting it with bullshit. My head gets inundated with media. In those brief windows of silence, it seems like every film, television show, song or book I’ve ever consumed comes flooding back again. But also, somewhere in there, I discover truths about myself and my life and its fragile and precious place in the world. Finding silence like that isn’t easy. In Pursuit of Silence makes some predictable points about technology, social media and the cacophony of distractions we’re constantly inundated with, but just because they’re obvious doesn’t mean they aren’t true. Watch the film with an open heart and you’ll see that it makes a valid case for why we might sometimes need to go out of our way to reach a place of quiet, and why that effort matters. My favorite part of the film involves a 20-something man who’s chosen to travel cross-country on foot (not unlike Forrest Gump) on a self-made silent retreat. Occasionally, he writes notes and holds them up to the camera, and gosh, I don’t know—I just want everyone to see the film and read this kid’s notes. In Pursuit of Silence screens at the Silver Theatre as part of the Big Sky Film Series Thu., Dec. 1, at 7 PM.

Turkey with bread (hold the circuses) by Gabi Moskowitz This sandwich is my favorite way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers, but you don’t have to have leftovers to make this—just head to your butcher counter for cooked turkey breast. If you aren’t a cranberry relish fan, try red pepper relish as a tasty alternative. Serves 2. Ingredients 4 oz. thickly sliced cooked turkey breast 1 medium orange, peeled and sliced into 1/4"thick rounds 1/2 small red onion, peeled and sliced into 1/4"thick rounds 2 oz. goat cheese (chèvre) 1 cup fresh spinach leaves 4 tablespoons cranberry relish (store-bought or homemade) 4 thick slices of sturdy wheat bread 1 teaspoon olive oil

BROKEASS GOURMET Directions Toast bread lightly. While bread toasts, heat the olive oil in a grill pan or frying pan over high heat. Add the orange slices and onion rounds and cook for one to two minutes on each side, or until medium color develops and the oranges and onions become quite fragrant. Remove from heat. To assemble the sandwich, divide the goat cheese evenly between two pieces of bread and spread to coat. Spread the other two pieces with the cranberry relish. Place half of the turkey, spinach, orange slices and onions on top of one slice of goat cheese-covered bread. Top with a slice of cranberry relish-covered bread and secure with a toothpick. Repeat process with remaining ingredients. Plate the sandwiches and serve. BrokeAss Gourmet caters to folks who want to live the high life on the cheap, with delicious recipes that are always under $20.

The backstory: Great Burn ownerbrewer Mike Howard got his start at Stone Brewing—a logical origin for Missoula’s most hop-forward brewer. With a California vacation scheduled earlier this year, Howard decided to reconnect with his former brew buddies to team up on a new beer that both breweries could serve. They worked out the recipe by email, then Howard spent a day of his September vacation back in his old brewery. “I think collaborations are great for the industry,” he says. “It’s bringing good brewer minds together to have some fun.” Stone introduced the Terrible Rye during San Diego beer week. It landed on tap at Great Burn earlier this month.

The name: “Terrible” doesn’t refer to the beer itself—at least not its flavor. Howard says the high level of rye in the recipe (almost 50 percent of the malt) clogged up the mash tun, turning a six-hour brew day into a marathon 14-hour session. Not exactly the ideal California vacation. When Howard brewed the beer for his Missoula taproom, it took a slightly more reasonable 10-hour shift. The taste: At 10 percent alcohol by volume and 70 IBUs, the Terrible Rye will knock you out. But it’s surprisingly smooth for brew of such heft. Howard says he’s “really happy” with how the beer turned out. Great Burn has three IPAs on tap at the moment, and it’s worth trying them all. The details: Find the Terrible Rye IPA at Great Burn Brewing, 2230 McDonald Avenue. A snifter costs $5—no growler fills, please. —Derek Brouwer

Documentary filmmaker and photographer Stuart Thurlkill addresses these issues during a free lecture at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography titled The Artist’s Call. The former photojournalist, who splits his time between Missoula and Phoenix, breaks down ways artists can find their voices and make them stand out in a sea of other artistic voices. At the same time, he will address the importance of finding a sense of purpose while pursuing an artistic passion. Art, after all, is more than a communication tool. It’s a way to explore the world and gain perspective on it—and get a little self-awareness, too

MOUNTAIN HIGH J amaican runner Usain Bolt smashed world records in 2009 when he clocked in at almost 45 kilometers (27.9617 miles) per hour during a 100 meter race in Berlin. The domestic turkey, on the other hand, has a ground speed of just under 25 miles per hour. As a matter of comparison, the average human runs at about 12 to 15 miles per hour. If you're Usain Bolt (and if you are could you please respond to my Facebook friend request?) you don’t have to worry about ever having to outrun a turkey, but an average person might feel a little nervous when set upon by a horde of murderous Meleagris gallopavo. The best thing to do is just hope you lived a good life. With any luck the turkey

might be drowsy. They are full of tryptophan, or so I hear. There's probably no better way to prepare for such a scenario than to sprint to the finish line during Missoula's Turkey Day 8K and 3K Family Fun Run. The two Thanksgiving-day races take runners from Run Wild Missoula down the Kim Williams Trail. If nothing else, running as fast as you can will earn you that extra piece of pie this year. —Charley Macorn

TOUR OF DOODY I’m a 42-year-old divorcee, just back in the dating world and using dating apps. I have two young children, who live with me. I mentioned them in my profile at first, but I didn’t get many replies, so I took them out. Is it okay not to disclose them there? And if I go out with a guy, when do I have to tell him? I’d like to wait till we build a bit of a relationship. –More Than A Mom When men say they “love surprises,” they mean the sort involving an impromptu striptease, not where you wait till the sixth date to tell them that, no, that child seat actually isn’t for your terrier. Having kids shapes how you live. It isn’t like some weird hobby you occasionally do on weekends, like roadkill taxidermy or yurt bedazzling. And sorry—even if you’re far prettier in person than in your profile photos, being “striking” is just a figure of speech; it’s unlikely to cause a concussive brain injury in a man, leading to big personality changes that give him a sudden longing to stepdaddy up. Not disclosing that you have kids until a guy is emotionally attached to you is what evolutionary psychologist David Buss calls “strategic interference”—using tactics (including scammy ones) to try to get another person to go against their evolved interests. For example, it is not in a man’s genetic interest to invest time, effort and resources into another man’s children, which is why men evolved to prefer women who do not already have children, as opposed to saying, “Well, she’s got 12 kids ... I’ll take experience over 20-something hotitude any day!” Our emotions are our internal police force. They evolved to protect and serve—protecting us from allowing things that don’t serve our interest. Your hiding that you have kids will make guys angry, including those who’d be interested in you, kids and all. The problem goes to character. If you’re dishonest about this, what else will you be dishonest about? The right thing to do in online dating is to give men who will ultimately reject you the info they need to do that right away—keeping them from wasting their time and yours. (Otherwise, it’s like seeking a new accountant by interviewing plumbers.) Being honest will narrow your pool—down to those who are actual possibilities for you, like divorced dads who’d be open to Brady Bunch-ing. There are also a few kid-loving guys out there who never got around to having any and would find it a plus that you have some

ready-made. All the better if some other guy’s on the hook for the kids’ private school, Ivy League educations and wintering in rehab on St. Barts.

BERT AND URNIE I’ve been dating a widow for two years, and I feel inadequate compared with her dead husband, whom she always describes in glowing terms. He liked to dance; I don’t. He cooked; I don’t. He didn’t drink; I do. I understand that she was very happy with her late husband, but this constant comparison with him is wearing on me. —Mr. Boyfriend It’s always exciting to see a man rebound after a serious setback—except when you’re the new guy in his widow’s life and the setback is that he was cremated three years ago. As for why your girlfriend keeps inviting the Ghost of Husband Past into your lives, consider that thoughts—like those glowing ones about him—are driven by emotions. And consider that emotions aren’t just internal states; they also act as signals—a form of person-to-person advertising. For example, research by social psych grad student Bo Winegard and his colleagues finds that grief seems to be, among other things, a kind of broadcasting of a person’s “proclivity to form devoted bonds with others.” (In other words, “Trust me! I love deeply!”) As for what your girlfriend’s signaling with all this late-husband reflux, maybe she’s telling you to back off— maybe because she fears another big loss. Maybe she wants you to try harder at something—which isn’t helpful if it’s being somebody else entirely. Or maybe she just misses her late hubby (or feels guilty for being happy with you) and this is her way of keeping him around—in some form. Ask her—in the most non-snarly, loving way—what she’s trying to communicate to you when she waxes on about him. Tell her it hurts your feelings—giving you the message that you’re failing her somehow. Maybe she’ll start appreciating what she has instead of being so focused on what she buried. (Date night shouldn’t involve your waving goodbye to your girlfriend as she goes off with a picnic dinner to the cemetery.)

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Creative people are at greater risk,” said psychiatrist R. D. Laing, “just as one who climbs a mountain is more at risk than one who walks along a village lane.” I bring this to your attention, Aries, because in the coming weeks you will have the potential to be abundantly creative, as well as extra imaginative, ingenious and innovative. But I should also let you know that if you want to fulfill this potential, you must be willing to work with the extra tests and challenges that life throws your way. For example, you could be asked to drop a pose, renounce lame excuses or reclaim powers that you gave away once upon a time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus musician Brian Eno has been successful as a composer, producer, singer and visual artist. Among his many collaborators have been David Byrne, David Bowie, U2, Coldplay, Laurie Anderson, Grace Jones and James Blake. Eno’s biographer David Sheppard testified that capturing his essence in a book was “like packing a skyscraper into a suitcase.” I suspect that description may fit you during the next four weeks, Taurus. You’re gearing up for some high-intensity living. But please don’t be nervous about it. Although you may be led into intimate contact with unfamiliar themes and mysterious passions, the story you actualize should feel quite natural. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are free! Or almost free! Or let me put it this way: You could become significantly freer if you choose to be—if you exert your willpower to snatch the liberating experiences that are available. For example, you could be free from a slippery obligation that has driven you to say things you don’t mean. You could be free from the temptation to distort your soul in service to your ego. You might even be free to go after what you really want rather than indulging in lazy lust for a gaggle of mediocre thrills. Be brave, Gemini. Define your top three emancipating possibilities, and pursue them with vigor and rigor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Have you been feeling twinges of perplexity? Do you find yourself immersed in meandering meditations that make you doubt your commitments? Are you entertaining weird fantasies that give you odd little shivers and quivers? I hope so! As an analyzer of cycles, I suspect that now is an excellent time to question everything. You could have a lot of fun playing with riddles and wrestling with enigmas. Please note, however, that I’m not advising you to abandon what you’ve been working on and run away. Now is a time for fertile inquiry, not for rash actions. It’s healthy to contemplate adjustments, but not to initiate massive overhauls.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Everybody is dealing with how much of their own aliveness they can bear and how much they need to anesthetize themselves,” writes psychoanalytic writer Adam Phillips. Where do you fit on this scale, Leo? Whatever your usual place might be, I’m guessing that in the coming weeks you will approach record-breaking levels in your ability to handle your own aliveness. You may even summon and celebrate massive amounts of aliveness that you had previously suppressed. In fact, I’ll recklessly speculate that your need to numb yourself will be closer to zero than it has been since you were five years old. (I could be exaggerating a bit; but maybe not!)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do you periodically turn the volume down on your mind’s endless chatter and tune into the still, small voice within you? Have you developed reliable techniques for escaping the daily frenzy so as to make yourself available for the Wild Silence that restores and revitalizes? If so, now would be a good time to make aggressive use of those capacities. And if you haven’t attended well to these rituals of self-care, please remedy the situation. Claim more power to commune with your depths. In the coming weeks, most of your best information will flow from the sweet darkness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): One of your vices could at least temporarily act as a virtue. In an odd twist, one of your virtues may also briefly function like a vice. And there’s more to this mysterious turn of events. A so-called liability could be useful in your efforts to solve a dilemma, while a reliable asset might cloud your discernment or cause a miscalculation. I’m riffing here, Libra, in the hopes of stimulating your imagination as you work your way through the paradoxical days ahead. Consider this intriguing possibility: An influence that you like and value may hold you back, even as something or someone you’ve previously been almost allergic to could be quite helpful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Between now and the solstice on December 21, you will have extraordinary power to transform into a more practical, well-grounded version of yourself. You may surprise yourself with how naturally you can shed beliefs and habits that no longer serve you. Now try saying the following affirmations and see how they feel coming out of your mouth: “I am an earthy realist. I am a fact-lover and an illusion-buster. I love actions that actually work more than I like theories that I wish would work. I’d rather create constructive change than be renowned for my clever dreams.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Despite your sign’s reputation, you Sagittarians don’t always require vast expanses to roam in. You aren’t ceaselessly restless, on an inexhaustible quest for unexpected experiences and fresh teachings. And no, you are not forever consumed with the primal roar of raw life, obsessed with the naked truth, and fiercely devoted to exploration for its own sake. But having said that, I suspect that you may at least be flirting with these extreme states in the coming weeks. Your keynote, lifted from Virginia Woolf’s diary: “I need space. I need air. I need the empty fields round me; and my legs pounding along roads; and sleep; and animal existence.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “If you can’t get rid of the skeleton in your closet,” said George Bernard Shaw, “you had best teach it to dance.” This advice is worthy of your consideration, Capricorn. You may still be unable to expunge a certain karmic debt, and it may be harder than ever to hide, so I suggest you dream up a way to play with it—maybe even have some dark fun with it. And who knows? Your willingness to loosen up might at least alleviate the angst your skeleton causes you—and may ultimately transform it in some unpredictably helpful way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “No pain, no gain” is a modern expression of an old idea. In a second-century Jewish book of ethics, Rabbi Ben Hei Hei wrote, “According to the pain is the gain.” Eighteenth-century English poet Robert Herrick said, “If little labor, little are our gains: Man’s fate is according to his pains.” But I’m here to tell you, Aquarius, that I don’t think this prescription will apply to you in the coming weeks. From what I can surmise, your greatest gains will emerge from the absence of pain. You will learn and improve through release, relaxation, generosity, expansiveness and pleasure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The less egotistical you are, the more likely it is that you will attract what you really need. If you do nice things for people without expecting favors in return, your mental and physical health will improve. As you increase your mastery of the art of empathy, your creativity will also thrive. Everything I just said is always true, of course, but it will be intensely, emphatically true for you during the next four weeks. So I suggest you make it a top priority to explore the following cosmic riddle: Practicing unselfishness will serve your selfish goals.
