Tech Pathways

Monte Del Sol Charter School

junior Yuridia Martinez wasn’t interested in technology at first. But following her participation in a new program, she’s now considering a career in the film industry.

Martinez joined the Apple Creates program at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Fe/Del Norte at the Santa Fe Place Mall when it began in January and says she enjoyed learning as she worked on a comedic animated short film involving a cast of cartoon ghosts at a house party.

“The process of editing it and seeing how it ends up, it’s just made me more interested in wanting to be an editor, probably,” she tells SFR, noting she now hopes to pursue a career in animation, maybe even working for Disney Animation Studios.

That’s exactly the kind of inspiration local Boys & Girls Club CEO Sarah Gettler was hoping for when the club became part of Apple’s Community Education Initiative, which teaches students of all ages how to code or work in other digital creative pursuits.

She tells SFR students “are probably going to have careers and jobs in industries we don’t even know about. I think this is the best way we can prepare them for different kinds of careers.”

Santa Fe Community College Strategic Advisor Meg Fisher, who previously worked for 11 years as a senior manager of Apple’s education content, helped Santa Fe Public Schools, Santa Fe Indian School, Santa Fe Community College, STEM Santa Fe and the local Boys & Girls Club put together a proposal for the CEI, which resulted in receiving Apple technology such as iMacs, MacBook Airs, iPads, Apple Pencil and Logitech for labs at the schools and organizations.

The schools will also receive instructional support from Apple Professional Learning, where instructors from Apple will guide students and teachers through tutorials while introducing Apple’s curricula.

“Our vision is to have the opportunity for people across the community, and more widely across the region, to have access to these wonderful educational experiences,” Gettler says.

Community orgs work with public education to bring students digital opportunities through Apple-funded program

Brianna Martinez, the Teen Center’s 23-year-old co-director who assists teaching the Apple Creates curriculum, says the program is “mind-blowing.” Martinez, no relation to Yuridia Martinez, tells SFR students have learned to use GarageBand to make their own music; Keynote to develop presentations; and various video editing software such as iMovie to create short videos.

“I think it’s helpful for the teens to be able to show what they can actually do,” she says. “I think Apple Creates specifically has helped them come out of their shell more, because we’ve had teens that weren’t really comfortable with working on the iPads or other technology.”

On the “coding” side of the program, instructors use Apple’s Everyone Can Code curriculum for all ages. This includes the Swift Playgrounds app to share activities that introduce children to coding concepts, then connect them to everyday life and apply the lessons through solving puzzles.

Additionally, Santa Fe Community College has set up a certificate program with instructional support from Apple for application development and web development.

“I think that’s exciting, and also kind of declares, ‘Hey, there are skills that are

behind this that also help seek work to be a junior app developer [for example],’” Fisher says. “There’s a lot of jobs out there that, as long as you have your laptop, you can go do really great work and explore those things.”

SFCC’s Dean of Continuing Education and Contract Training Kris Swedin notes the programs move forward the state’s initiative to increase digital equity for

those who have not had previous access.

“This is an opportunity to put really cutting-edge technology in the hands of young people who don’t necessarily get a chance to use it, and to put it in a safe environment where they feel comfortable and want to come on their own, and they get to learn from each other,” Swedin says.

Gettler says the Boys & Girls Club will hold both open studio time and formalized classes at the mall’s Teen Center, where the club plans to transform an adjacent former store into a tech lab to teach coding. According to Gettler, the space will be modeled similarly to an Apple store, and will have a conference room and individual pods for kids to work in. Eventually, Gettler aims to add 3D printing.

The renovation is nearly complete, with the furniture for the tech lab slated to be delivered by Sept. 15. Gettler says organizers hope to have the project done “sometime in September,” although they don’t have a target opening date yet. Already, however, students are making progress.

“How much these kids are having a great time learning and expressing themselves—it means a lot,” Fisher says. “Seeing young people excited is the heartbeat of everything.”

Yuridia Martinez learns alongside other students in the Boys & Girls Club’s Apple Creates program.

BY EVAN CHANDLER evan@sfreporter.com

The phone started ringing the first week of June—specifically June 3, the day after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a ban on genderaffirming care for minors into law.

That day, Equality New Mexico Executive Director Marshall Martinez says he received at least five phone calls from across the state line. Everyone asked the same question: “I’m moving my family to New Mexico; what do I need to know?”

The calls have continued all summer. While families, doctors and the American Civil Liberties Union sued over the law and a state district judge

offered a temporary reprieve, last week the Texas Supreme Court overturned that decision and the law went into effect on Friday, Sept. 1.

Texas now joins more than 20 states that have adopted laws to ban or limit gender-affirming care for minors, and others have changed policies to otherwise discriminate against and put up hurdles for LGBTQ+ people. In light of this, New Mexico serves as a refuge following the passage of new laws reaffirming rights and care in the state in the aftermath of the US Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe V. Wade in June of 2022.

That decision began to unwind abortion rights across the nation, as well as gender-affirming health care. The new legal landscape in New Mexico has advocates and medical providers here preparing for an influx of out-ofstate guests—even new residents.

Yet leaders at long-serving resource providers warn lack of resources in other states could over-burden available services here.

Adrien Lawyer, co-director of the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico, says the state has begun to experience “a very specific pressure” on providers and resources as a result of what is happening in Texas.

“I think it just goes to show that you can’t control these things this way,” Lawyer tells SFR. “Folks are still going to seek this care, but then it just puts a strain on systems that are already strained in a chronically under-resourced state like New Mexico. It just hurts everybody.”

The Transgender Resource Center already had far-flung appeal even before states began rolling back LGBTQ rights.

The center focuses on providing direct services such as helping with legal name changes to transgender, nonbinary and gender nonconforming individuals, as well as promoting advocacy and education. It runs nine different support groups that meet in person and over Zoom, allowing for participation from residents of even the most rural parts of the state. While the organization focuses on New Mexico, Lawyer says over the years, folks have moved to the state in part because of the resource center.

The organization also publishes a directory to help people locate health providers, including Dr. Molly McClain, the residency program director for family medicine for the

As surrounding states pass laws limiting access to gender-affirming services, New Mexico provides refuge

University of New Mexico’s Department of Family and Community Medicine.

McClain administers gender-affirming care to about 500 patients out of her allages clinic Deseo, which is part of the larger UNM Southeast Heights Family Health Clinic in Albuquerque. Right now, she says, the clinic has a waiting list of 70 families from Texas, but she anticipates even more in coming months.

“Most of these folks called when the law was just being discussed,” she tells SFR. “I think, as things develop, it is a smaller number than who is going to end up working with us from there.”

Even prior to the ban on genderaffirming care for minors in Texas, three of her patients had moved to New Mexico as a result of how their families were being treated in other states.

Even as the number grows, she says, it will still only represent a small portion of people who need the care but can no longer access it in their home states. Recommendations for services such as hormone therapy include doctor visits every three months for the first year—a significant time and money commitment for those who need to travel to receive the treatment. (Texas Senate Bill 14 prohibits the administration of pubertal blockade and hormone therapy for the purposes of “transitioning a child’s biological sex” or “affirming the child’s perception” of it.)

“The relationship between patients and medical providers is being interfered

with by an exercise of big government from people claiming to support small government,” McClain says. “There’s really a lot of sacrifice to come from Texas to Albuquerque in person, and for every family that makes it, I bet there will be 50 to 70 families who won’t. My fear is that the folks who have the resources will make it

and the folks who don’t won’t, and I’m not sure what happens to those people.”

Bans on care like the one imposed in Texas discount the diagnostic criteria established by the American Medical Association for gender incongruence and “consent criteria” established by the World Professional Association of Transgender Health, she explains. Those guidelines affirm medical intervention such as pubertal blockade and hormone therapy for people under the age of 18, but not for reassignment surgeries, which she says “is not at all a part of what anyone has been practicing.”

“It’s really easy for people who don’t know anybody who is gender expansive to look at the debate across the country and feel like there must be some validity to it, but there’s absolutely no major medical association that doesn’t support gender care for people of all ages,” McClain tells SFR, “and there is absolutely no question that the data supports access to medications, both pubertal blockade and hormone therapy,

as very powerful suicide prevention.”

Data shows a huge need for such prevention: According to The Trevor Project’s 2023 National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ Young People, 41% of youth seriously considered suicide in the past year, and people who are transgender, nonbinary and/or people of color reported higher rates.

But access to gender care isn’t the only factor adding to stress on established services and systems.

New Mexico has already experienced an influx of people from other states seeking medical care for reproductive services now prohibited in other states with the fall of Roe v. Wade last year. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham vowed at the time that the state would “stand as a brick wall against those who seek to punish women and their doctors just because they seek the care they need and deserve.”

According to the Carnegie-Knight news project America After Roe, New Mexico’s Planned Parenthood clinics exhibited a 97% increase in appointments in comparison to the 10-month period before the Supreme Court decision, with 57% of patients hailing from Texas.

One of the bricks in Lujan Grisham’s wall comes from the state’s new Reproductive and Gender-Affirming Health Care Act, adopted by the Legislature and signed into law this spring to restrict public bodies, CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

such as local municipalities, from denying, limiting or discriminating against a person’s right to use or refuse reproductive health care or health care related to gender.

The law is one of the reasons the Movement Advancement Project names New Mexico among states with favorable conditions for LGBTQ people, rating it 32 out of a possible 43.5 on a LGBTQ Policy Tally. Texas, by contrast, earned a -1 on the scale that scores the laws and policies that shape LGBTQ people’s lives, experiences, and equality in categories including relationship and parental recognition; nondiscrimination; religious exemptions; youth; health care; criminal justice and identity documents. Research from The Williams Institute in 2020 estimated that around 85,000 LGBTQ+ people over the age of 13 lived in New Mexico.

Equality New Mexico worked on the frontlines advocating for the bill, action typical of its work, which focuses on changes at the system, policy and cultural levels.

“Queer and trans people are part of every family, work in every sector and live in every community, so every issue is an LGBTQ issue,” says Martinez. “What we try to do most is to ensure that LGBTQ folks are centered in new policy solutions from the beginning.”

Lawyer says “it’s not a coincidence” that reproductive health care and gender-affirming care were combined into a single law—both have been under attack across the nation.

This year’s Legislature also adopted a change to publication rules for legal name changes so that the state no longer requires

individuals to take out newspaper advertisements to accomplish the task.

“It was a really old-timey law that was so out of date and really dangerous, so we got rid of it,” Lawyer says, noting Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico lobbied for the law.

Organizations like his and Equality New Mexico understand the strength of such state laws.

“They passed a couple of different laws that made us one of the safest states for LGBT people in the country because we were not just responding to negative legislation, we were trying to pass more protective legislation for the population,” he says.

Just weeks after Texas Gov. Abbott signed the treatment ban for minors, thousands attended Pride celebrations in New Mexico’s capital city—a turnout the Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance says was its largest ever.

According to data compiled by the Santa Fe Data Platform using geofencing technology, more than 9,000 people turned out for the parade and other events. Heather Hunter, data concierge for the platform, says approximately 60% of those who celebrated were from a 30-mile radius, while 40% came from outside that range. Guests traveled from as far as New York, Delaware and Maryland, according to collected ZIP codes.

“It’s really an important time for the community to come out and show up,” Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance Executive Director Kevin Bowen told SFR before the event, “and to make sure that we keep doing that.”

Living in New Mexico, “we’re very lucky to have such great protections that have been put through legislative actions, but we can’t let our guard down.”

Santa Fe enjoys a reputation for progressive values, including maintaining safe spaces for queerness.

New Mexico Coalition and Sexual Assault Programs Director of Prevention Jess Clark says today’s LGBTQ+ community benefits greatly from the city’s history of a large gay presence and existing services.

“I grew up in Santa Fe in the time that I was coming of age and a queer trans person early on, and things were very different then in terms of media representation, social acceptance, governmental protection, all of that,” Clark tells SFR. “Still, I had access to an incredible community of young folks and adults, and even services, in the early 2000s.”

But as tensions boil in the nation and other regions take backward steps for civil liberty, the city has not remained immune to hate speech or efforts to thwart equality. For example, a Progressive Pride Flag the city painted in the Plaza was defaced following Pride when someone drew a cross over it, along with the words “Jesus Saves.”

“All across the country, homophobes are attacking the queer community and we are fighting for our very right to exist,” City Manager John Blair said in a press release following the incident. “There’s no place for Christian nationalism anywhere in this country and there is absolutely no place for this hate in Santa Fe.”

Just last month, the City Council scrapped a proposal to have voters weigh in on creating a new Office of Equity and Inclusion overseen by a Human Rights Commission out of fear that if it went to voters without adequate preparation, as Bowen wrote in a letter opposing the

Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance Executive Director Kevin Bowen is in charge of organizing outreach events including the annual Pride celebration.

proposition, it could serve as “a lightning rod for hate and discord.”

City Councilor Signe Lindell voted against the measure—which ultimately failed—for the same reason.

She cited the possibility that failure to pass could turn back the “hard-fought-for rights” for the LGBTQ+ community and adding, “the consequences for myself feel dire.”

“I’m no kid,” Lindell tells SFR in an interview later, “I was on the front end working on what we then called gay rights, and it wasn’t always as celebratory as it is today. It was obligatory. To take any risk at all when we don’t need to is unnecessary. The mood of the country has certainly been far from favorable to the LGBTQ community, and although Santa Fe is a progressive community, I don’t feel like getting risky and potentially having something like that get turned over by some fringe group.”

As groups across the country continue to advocate for legislation that limits the rights of LGBTQ individuals, local leaders say it’s important to keep Santa Fe’s community protected and empowered.

Bowen says he also received phone calls from out-of-state families with questions about moving to New Mexico and accessing gender-affirming care. While

Bowen wasn’t always as involved politically, he says Santa Fe’s draw for LGBTQ people opened an opportunity to form community and explore their sexual identities.

“I think the community that ended up here throughout the years even prior to my tenure came because it was an artist’s colony or [because] it’s eccentric, unique and nurturing,” Bowen says.

While there weren’t many legal protections in place for queer people at that time, the “night and day” difference from then to now, he says, comes in the overt efforts to hurt queer people in other states. According to the Human Rights Campaign, legislators have introduced over 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills across the country so far this year, with more than 200 specifically targeting transgender and nonbinary people—both record numbers.

One local business leads efforts to further support the targeted community through a weekly queer night: Monday nights from 5-11 pm, visitors of El Rey Court’s La Reina bar can grab a drink, enjoy music and socialize, with a portion of the proceeds going to support the work of

the Transgender Resource Center.

Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance runs several other initiatives with the goal of community building. Bowen encourages queer folk of all ages, with a special emphasis on younger generations, to participate through monthly conversations or at Drag

Bingo night. He says a disconnect between older and younger LGBTQ+ individuals could be solved through a more “broadbased dialogue” of the issues.

“To me, that’s what we have to do. We can’t let our guard down to think that we can stay as such a safe state without active participation by our community,” Bowen says.

The Mountain Center of Santa Fe’s New Mexico Genders and Sexualities Alliance Network takes seriously its mission for LGBTQ youth involvement, including a Youth Council and activist camp where members learn how and what it means to advocate “for themselves and for their own lives,” according to ío María Escamilla, program manager.

“We wanted to have a really robust age range of people who could tell us what is the pulse of the community for someone their age,” Escamilla says.

Last year, the organization served approximately 3,600 people. Escamilla tells SFR the network focuses on those ages 13 to 24 because oftentimes this age group requires more support.

“We see a lot of people who don’t feel supported at home, and they need social spaces where they can go and be themselves,” Escamilla says. “They need queer adults who can help tell them everything is going to be okay, and, in a lot of cases, that they should keep living.”

While the organization has yet to work with youth from surrounding states seeking resources and gender-affirming care, Escamilla says a large portion of clientele comes from more rural areas of New Mexico, and many of those people are learning how to navigate resources for the first time.

Still, the sting remains for advocates like Equality New Mexico’s Martinez, who tells SFR not all trans people want to play an advocate role. Many just want to live their lives, and leaving home to access resources shouldn’t be necessary in the first place, he says.

“We’ll welcome and try to support anybody who travels across state lines, whether it’s moving or just visiting, to access care,” Martinez says, “but quite frankly I’m pissed that [trans and non-binary youth] have to come here. Not because we don’t want them, but because nobody deserves to have to leave their hometown, or really their neighborhood, to get the health care they need.”

In his work, Marshall Martinez of Equality New Mexico advocates for LGBTQ-inclusive legislation and change.

GET WET

With the way we need water here in New Mexico, some might want to join the fight through participation in the 2023 Watershed Fest from the Santa Fe Watershed Association. The organization seeks to protect and restore the health of the Santa Fe River through various events and actions, and this week’s gathering comes in the form of the Wild and Scenic Film Festival. At the fest, find various inspiring environmental films about protection and restoration—then hopefully keep it going by supporting the longtime nonprofit. “We’re all connected to water, and we’re all connected to this landscape, so everybody has a stake in the work we’re doing, which is pretty inspiring and motivating,” Executive Director Morika Vorenburg Hensley tells SFR. “This event is really all about deepening the ways that we are conversing and collaborating with each other so that we can keep moving towards this genuine stewardship of our watershed together.” (Evan Chandler)

2023 Santa Fe Watershed Fest: Wild and Scenic Film Festival:

6:30 pm Thursday, Sept. 7. $15. Violet Crown Cinema 1606 Alcaldesa St., (505) 216-5678, santfewatershed.org

MUSIC FRI/8

TWOSIES

If you’re a fan of bands like Mates of State, Smoking Popes, The Strokes, Quasi or similar poppy-punky/ garagey acts, we’ve got great news for you this week— North by North is coming. The Chicago two-piece of Kendra Blank and Nate Girard is practically pop perfection in the form of big fat power chords and Girard’s powerful wail, but with plenty of chugs, juds and satisfying riffage (those are all very legitimate guitar terms). North by North makes music so catchy and head-bobby, in fact, that they’ve pretty much become our go-to this week in the car, on foot, wherever, but it’s the rocking edge the keeps us coming back for more. Find ‘em at Tumbleroot alongside home state heroes like the gothy Gullfire Waiting and the rockers of Free Range Buddhas. (ADV)

North by North with Gullfire Waiting and Free Range Buddhas: 7 pm Friday, Sept. 8. $10. Tumbleroot Brewery & Distillery, 2791 Agua Fría St., (505) 303-3808

EVENT SUN/10

...YOU DON’T LOOK A DAY OVER 69

Most Santa Feans probably know the Museum of International Folk Art is kind of a big deal. Not only is the institution recognized worldwide for its commitment to the folk arts and artists of the world, it’s one of those community-minded kind of places that features plenty for kids, locals and so forth. It’s a time of change for the museum, too, what with new Executive Director Charlie Lockwood taking over in May and upcoming renovations to the atrium skylight courtesy of a Helen Frankenthaler Foundation Green Initiative grant. Also huge? MoIFA turns 70 this week and plans to celebrate the milestone with music and dance from Compañia Chuscales and Mina Farjado Flamenco, plus a special walk with the Labyrinth Resource Group. Oh, also? There’s cake. Happy birthday, MoIFA! (ADV)

MUSIC SUN/10

Crowdered House

Albuquerque-based musician Ron Crowder is all about releasing singles these days, not that he doesn’t have enough material for more than a few records. Part of the reason lies in the post-pandemic culture lull that seems to have found people a bit more interested in experiencing media rather than owning it; part of it comes from the modern day shape of releasing music.

“It’s really a kind of thing about how much music do people want to listen to?” Crowder queries from his own professional recording studio Incrowd after he’s finished recording for the day. “In my head I’m like, ‘I’ve got enough material, but does anybody care?’ To get anybody to listen to anything, you’re asking a lot.”

True enough, and there’s not a whole lot of money in music, besides, at least at the indie artist level. No matter, though, as Crowder says he’s both happy releasing singles—like the recent “Speed of Life,” a sort of McCartney meets Ben Folds number that’s heavy on syncopated rhythms

and poppy keys—and being focused mostly on playing live and living in the now.

“I learned when I was a teenager...that I want to have as much fucking fun as possible, to burn it down, to live it now,” he tells SFR.

All through September, that fun comes in the form of a weekly residence at the Cowgirl BBQ on Sundays. There, Crowder will Voltron (yes, that’s a verb) an evolving cast of musicians to back him up in his quest to bring his rock/pop/funk/soul sound to the masses. This week’s band includes drummer Mark Clark, bassist Justin Bransford, guitarist Jim Casey, pianist Brant Leeper and vocalist Teri Lynn Browning—which is a stacked bill, frankly.

“I’m trying to carve out my little niche,” Crowder adds. “I’m like a cottage industry, y’know?” (Alex De Vore)

La Emi

feel like I sort of conjured it that night. My authentically haunted house in Madrid is the main location, and I wrote these two little girl characters and found out later they lived in my house and died quite young. I definitely filled in plenty with my own imagination.

Why did you want to tell this story?

As the WGA/SAG strike continues roiling, those who work in indie film might have a moment to gain a bit of traction. Enter Betsy Burke, a Madrid-based filmmaker whose upcoming Night of the Starlings just wrapped, and from which she’ll show a special teaser trailer at the Madrid Film Festival (7 pm Friday, Sept. 8-Sunday, Sept. 10. $25. Engine House Theater, 2846 Hwy. 14, Madrid, (505) 473-0743, madridfilmfest.org) Starlings is Burke’s take on the myth of La Llorona, that tragic, ghostly mother figure who haunts the arroyos looking to replace the children she lost. And though Burke’s version is decidedly her own, she still consulted with scholars, took more than a decade to complete the script and insists on paying homage to the intricacies of the tale. We spoke with Burke ahead of the Madrid Film Festival to learn more. This interview was edited for length and clarity. (Alex De Vore)

What’s the elevator pitch?

The film takes place in 1975 in a ghost town called Cold Gulch, New Mexico, and a young girl, a tomboy, is transplanted there and tries to save an abandoned young mother and baby, even though she’s in peril herself because she and her mom are being hunted by a violent man. Her name’s Rae, she’s 13, she gets pulled into this mystery and also wakes up the ghosts of the town.

[The 1970s are] when I grew up, and I find it to be such a simpler time. It was before the tech boom, and I feel like we heard ghosts and we had more telepathy then. We weren’t relying on our technical devices, so there’s a nostalgia to the time that I thought was beautiful and seemed to resonate more [than] the times of today. The story it’s based on is from that time, the story I asked for when I was up in the Madrid cemetery one night. I said out loud, ‘I’m a writer, if anybody has a story, I’m here.’ And a story came to me about a young mother and her baby. I started writing that, then I later found out a baby was buried up in the Madrid cemetery, so I

I think all my scripts start with a sort of central image that grabs me, and the story expands around that. When I started researching the story it’s based around, it just kept opening up more and more. There’s the little baby in the story buried in the Madrid cemetery that the hero is trying to save. It was a story that haunted me, and after the first draft I gave it to a friend to read—she pointed out it was basically the story of La Llorona. La Llorona is such a huge myth, and there’s no good movie done about her, so that gave me encouragement that a lot of people would get excited about the story. I even ran the script by a La Llorona scholar. I’ve been trying to make the film for 13 years. I mean, I’m a white girl from Cleveland, so I didn’t hear about her there. When my friend pointed it out, I started researching her, and I started to see her everywhere—because she is everywhere in the Southwest. Everyone has stories about her.

I’m hoping the audience will feel the anguish—look at how we’ve destroyed our children and what their lives will be. We’re destroying the beauty and the innocents of the world, and I’m hoping people will feel that remorse. For me it’s about climate change and the destruction of nature. Species are disappearing every day. Even during this phone call we’re losing some. At some point, I imagine, our race will be like, ‘What have we done?’ and we’ll feel that horror of what we can’t reclaim, and that to me is La Llorona.

Given the ongoing WGA/SAG strike, what do you see for the future of DIY and/or indie films?

With the strike, it could actually help me if it goes on a while because my film is in the can.

I hope DIY film has a rebirth and a flourish because of this. I watch Netflix, but there’s a certain level of production value and they all have the same sort of thing going on. The more indie films, they’re scrappier and they usually have a bolder message, and because they are independent they can get away with stuff. Of course, I wouldn’t mind if this eventually made it onto Netflix, but there are different styles and voices and films that are maybe less formulaic. Telling this story, the way it came to me, it was one of the purposes of my life. It was one of the things I wanted to do before I die.

Could Crepas-Oh! brunch/ lunch/dessert spot be better? We doubt it

As longtime readers will surely know, I’m all about those restaurants that don’t feel the need to use words like “curate” or the desire to transform their interiors into impossibly clean spaces with minimalist white walls and tablecloths. Pomp and circumstance are fine for the second-homers who somehow decided that liking ridiculously overcomplicated dining experiences makes them interesting (or for people who scrape up enough cash to splurge). Some of us, though, are normies with not a whole lot of money, and some of us just want a solid meal that won’t force a tough decision later between rent and the dentist. This week, that something comes in the form of Crepas-Oh!, an excellent and affordable Southside eatery completely lacking in pretense.

Make no mistake, Crepas-Oh! is adorable, and its plain exterior belies a clean and cozy atmosphere where the tables are spaced nicely and the lighting creates a relaxed experience. It also offers one of the coolest outdoor dining areas in town, where diners can sit beneath a few tall trees and/or an umbrella and make difficult crepe choices from a stacked menu. A companion and I began a recent afternoon meal there, and deciding between dishes that all sounded too good proved enjoyably tortuous.

When was the last time I couldn’t make up my mind at a restaurant? Oh, right— almost never. How fun! In addition to the crepes menu, which is split into sweet and savory options, Crepas-Oh! has a robust lunchy-brunchy menu featuring New Mexican items, classic breakfast foods, burgers, sandwiches, salads and more. As such, we repeatedly sent our server away while trying to make the call. Those noonish Sunday brunches are tough, and one never knows whether to accept the warm embrace of breakfast or the often more

complicated world of lunch. Crepas-Oh! has both tastes covered, though that didn’t make selecting between dishes such as a green chile steak sandwich or the smothered herb and cheese omelette with three eggs and herbes de Provence ($13.95 each) any easier. In the end, we decided to order items from both worlds, including the creprese burger (a massive beef patty served in a crepe with mozzarella, pesto, tomato and a balsamic reduction—y’know, like caprese) and chicken breakfast enchiladas with tomatillo sauce, queso fresco and sour cream ($14.95 each).

For the breakfast fans, let me explain the glory of breakfast enchiladas: They’re phenomenal. In recent years, I’ve seen similar

items on other menus and always wondered before ordering something a little more eggy/pancakey, but making the plunge at Crepas-Oh! was a smart move. The dish comes with two rolled yellow corn enchiladas stuffed with tender chicken that deftly avoids the dryness of bird by being smothered in a mild tomatillo sauce. Usually when it comes to sauces and salsas and breakfast dishes, I err toward the “Chile exists, why bother with something else?!” side of the road, but the house-made tomatillo mingling with the sour cream and queso fresco created a complex series of flavors that complemented the chicken well. And though the contents of my plate felt daunting to behold, I did manage to finish the dish without feeling I’d overeaten. Frankly, I would have happily overeaten for that bright and fresh little

The crepe-rese burger, however, was a revelation. Yes, that wording sounds melodramatic, but it’s a freaking burger in a crepe! The savory burger and the sweet crepe are a brilliant match. The combo works so well in certain arenas—Reese’s cups, for example. Here, the faintest hint of sweetness from the crepe catapulted the burger into legendary status, then brought it right back into earthier flavors with the house-made pesto. Plus, the crepe held up in the hand through the entire meal, though this

one’s worth breaking out the forks, anyway. We mustn’t forget the tomato, either, because those can make or break a burger, and I’m not kidding. At Crepas-Oh!, the tomato came firm and flavorful and became a borderline crisp counter-texture to the gooey mozzarella.

We decided to close the meal with a sweet crepe, though that brought us up against another tricky ordering situation. Nutella in anything is always pretty great, especially with berries or banana ($11.50, or add $1.50 for both), and the tiramisu crepe sounded incredible ($12.50), as did the caramel pecan ($11.50). Once we discovered the crepelime crepe with key lime custard, graham cracker crumbles and a cinnamon-sugar dusting ($11.50), however, all bets were off. The crepe came warm with a more than healthy serving of whipped cream dominating the top.

We’re not sure if it’s Crepas-Oh! chef Kevin Lopez manning the crepes himself down there, but whoever made that thing knows how to achieve the proper crepe requisites: soft and just chewy enough with a satisfying golden brown exterior. Hear me now and believe me if you want—this key lime crepe is literally the best crepe I’ve had in my life, and I’ve been to Paris (which I say to prove a point and not brag, although still, it’s pretty cool to have gone there and chowed on crepes). With a delicious cup of coffee from Red River Roasters, the dessert portion of the meal felt almost sinful, like we were lollygagging with crepes when there was so much more to do.

We left soon after, and the staff were even OK with us taking so long to order that we wound up one of the last tables just before closing. In our defense, if you’re going to drop a creative and affordable menu on our table, we’re going to consider our options for as long as it takes. As it stands, there’s just one option left: Eat at CrepasOh! as often as possible until I’ve tried everything Lopez and company have to offer.

As of Aug. 13, the restaurant’s Facebook page says we can expect a Railyard location soon, so that’ll make things easier no matter what side of town I’m on. Eating literally everything with be tough, though, but I think I can make it work.

Bottoms Review

BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com

Ayo Edebiri is having one hell of a run. Not only does she play the second lead on the wildly popular foodservice drama series The Bear, she picked up some voice work as April O’Neil in Mutant Mayhem, the first good Ninja Turtles outing in who knows how long, and now stars alongside the very funny Rachel Sennott in Bottoms, a sort of teardown of horny teen comedy cinema tropes told in borderline Airplane! type parody.

Bottoms find’s Edebiri’s Josie and longtime best pal PJ (Sennott, who also co-wrote the script) hitting senior year and desperate to fuck. Think of it like Olivia Wilde’s enjoyable 2019 comedy Booksmart, only sillier and much dirtier. Platonic friends PJ and Josie are queer, and both have leaned heavily into a rumor they served time in juvie over the summer as a means of gaining clout. To get closer to their crushes Brittany and Isabel (Kaia Gerber and Havana Rose Liu), our heroines devise a faux self-defense class that operates under the guise of empowerment while actually operating like a fight club. They bring their teacher Mr. G (a surprisingly hysterical Marshawn Lynch) along for the ride as a faculty advisor.

And so begins the lie, which actually does start to make its participants—a ragtag group of weirdo wom-

+ MARIDUEÑA IS AWESOME; SILLY FUN - CLUNKY WRITING; FEELS RUN-OFTHE-MILL

Despite hitting lower numbers in its opening week than the bigwigs at DC Studios would have liked, Blue Beetle toppled the long-running number-one revenue streak claimed by Greta Gerwig’s Barbie with roughly $25 million in earnings—even if it’s the very epitome of only OK. Sadly, however, Blue Beetle might fall prey to fewer production and marketing machinations due to its Chicano-heavy cast, despite its being full of winners like George Lopez (because somehow studios still think audiences are more interested in white-heavy flicks; remember the bad CGI from the first Black Panther?).

Here we join Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña, Cobra Kai), fresh out of college and returned to his Miami-like fictional home town of Palmera City. He’s not off the plane two seconds before learning his dad (Damián Alcázar) had a heart attack and lost his auto shop business, but nobody wanted to worry him with that stuff while he was at school. Also terrible, the family (including mom Rocio, Elpidia Carrillo; sister Milagro, Belissa Escobedo; grandma Nana, Adriana Barraza; and uncle, Lopez) is about to lose their home to the local mega-corp Kord, which is run by the cartoonishly evil Victoria Kord (Susan Sarandon). Jaime somehow comes into contact with Vicky’s niece

en who join for various reasons—feel empowered. Meanwhile, the players on the school football team led by the irascible and arrogant Jeff (Nicholas Galitzine, who absolutely nails his role as a dangerously entitled prick) feel threatened by the show of feminine solidarity and together set out to destroy the club. Caught up in football fever and a rivalry with a nearby school, the faculty and student body are of no help. Will Josie and PJ bone their crushes? Will the football team get between them? Why does Jeff suck so hard?!

For those who missed the criminally underrated Shiva Baby, being the last time Sennott teamed with Bottoms director Emma Seligman (the film’s other writer), this new one is a must. It identifies so many terrifying high school norms and lambasts them that it almost feels like a public service. From toxic masculinity and sports culture to entitlement, violence and sex, Sennott and Seligman’s script attempts to address the absurdity of what we consider normal, and Edebiri’s deceptively high-strung performance

Jenny (Bruna Marquezine), who has stolen some kind of space beetle (voiced by Becky G) from the company. The thing turns out to be space armor, and so begins Jaime’s Spider-Man-meets-Iron Man journey, all while a movie from a corporation tells us how evil corporations can be.

Maridueña is effortlessly charismatic between his wide-eyed “family forever!” shtick and the pains of a young guy coming to terms with the way the world works while in possession of space armor. Escobedo steals the show as his sister, though, and most scenes are better with her— ditto the rest of the Reyes clan, who collectively find a believable familial dynamic crammed with broad and in-jokes about Mexican family. These are the best parts of Blue Beetle, especially Lopez’s paranoid Uncle Rudy, whose delusions turn out to be warranted.

Sarandon’s evil business lady character is terrible, however. She literally says stuff like, “As you know, our plan is to have the beetle so we can make better weapons!” What We Do in the Shadows’ Harvey Guillén lands on the receiving end of much of this janky exposition, and it’s only sad he doesn’t have a bigger role as he’s proven one of the more interesting actors working today. The rest is exactly what you think it is, though it might be important to see this one so we can prove to Hollywood that we’re ready for fewer Captain Americas and more varied representation. Besides, we want to see what more Maridueña can do with a less formulaic script, and maybe the

steals the show at every turn. Sennott’s funny, too, but wisely gets out of Edebiri’s way. The larger cast of freaks and geeks feels so right.

Bottoms does sadly stop short of truly deconstructing the issues it brings to the surface, though it’s likely that’s a statement in and of itself. We accept so much when we’re young, and the so-called adults often let it ride. Bottoms might as well be a riff on the antiquated idea that boys will be boys, too, and serves up a reminder that everyone has issues. Still, it’s quite funny and very strange and not at all the sort of film we often see in mainstream theaters. If nothing else, if you ever wanted to see a football player get kicked right in his stupid face, your ship has come in.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM

8 + CORE CAST NAILS IT; ANIMATION IS WILD AND FUN; ACTUALLY FUNNY - SOME JOKES FEEL MEME-Y

Whereas an inherent lack of identity in a film like Elemental from animation juggernaut Pixar earlier this summer proves the company seems to be grappling with relevance and a fundamental misunderstanding of the makeup of its audience, newly minted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem from celebrated Hollywood stoner Seth Rogen and longtime writing/producing partner Evan Goldberg captures something special that speaks to moviegoers of all ages.

See, Elemental (and other recent-ish Pixar properties) have struggled to adapt to various ages. Are the Disney-owned studio’s films aimed at today’s kids and their sensibilities? The parents? Neither, it turns out, at least not effectively—oh, how their ’90s heyday feels so, so long ago! Rogen, however, understands the sweet spot lies in using characters that aging nerds recognize, but executing them specifically for kids from the internet era.

In the newest outing for the fearsome fighting teens, heroes Leo (Nicolas Cantu), Donnie (Micah Abbey), Mikey (Shamon Brown Jr.) and

Raph (Brady Noon) long to co-exist with the human world. Their adoptive father, the rat-man Splinter (a very funny Jackie Chan), forbids this!

Enter April O’Neil (The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri), a high school-aged would-be journalist with a penchant for investigation who becomes the recipient of some ninja-based assistance and accepts the turtles; together, they investigate a series of crimes throughout New York City.

It’s not totally a spoiler to say that it’s mutants behind the crimes, but this is where the new TMNT truly shines: embracing the weirdo offshoot characters from the old TMNT days that mainly showed up as toys—characters like cyborg alligator Leatherhead (Rose Byrne), über-’90s skateboarding lizard Mondo Gecko (Paul Rudd), the bizarre Genghis Frog (Hannibal Buress), the impossibly land-based stingray Ray Filet (Post Malone) and the inimitably strange bat Wingnut (What We Do in the Shadows’ Natasia Demetriou) among others. Reworking April as a teen helps, too, as it’s strange, in retrospect, that a bunch of teenage turtles were cavorting through NYC with a grown woman/professional journalist. Edebiri’s nuanced take on the character is wildly enjoyable, too. The interplay between April and the turtles is consistently funny and heartwarming while avoiding schmaltz, making Mutant Mayhem’s risky take on established properties a winner that brings them into the now while paying the proper respect to their roots. Cowabunga, dudes. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG, 99 min.

“Back to the Beginning”—two by two, to the start.

by Matt Jones

SFR CLASSIFIEDS

Rob Brezsny Week of September 6th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov says war is “more like a game of poker than chess. On a chess board, the pieces are face up, but poker is essentially a game of incomplete information, a game where you have to guess and act on those guesses.” I suspect that’s helpful information for you these days, Aries. You may not be ensconced in an out-an-out conflict, but the complex situation you’re managing has resemblances to a game of poker. For best results, practice maintaining a poker face. Try to reduce your tells to near zero. Here’s the definition of “tell” as I am using the term: Reflexive or unconscious behavior that reveals information you would rather withhold.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Raised in poverty, Taurusborn Eva Peron became a charismatic politician and actor who served as First Lady of Argentina for six years. The Argentine Congress ultimately gave her the title of “Spiritual Leader of the Nation.” How did she accomplish such a meteoric ascent? “Without fanaticism,” she testified, “one cannot accomplish anything.” But I don’t think her strategy has to be yours in the coming months, Taurus. It will make sense for you to be highly devoted, intensely focused, and strongly motivated—even a bit obsessed in a healthy way. But you won’t need to be fanatical.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Ben H. Winters has useful counsel. “Every choice forecloses on other choices,” he says. “Each step forward leaves a thousand dead possible universes behind you.” I don’t think there are a thousand dead universes after each choice; the number’s more like two or three. But the point is, you must be fully committed to leaving the past behind. Making decisions requires resolve. Second-guessing your brave actions rarely yields constructive results. So are you ready to have fun being firm and determined, Gemini? The cosmic rhythms will be on your side if you do.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Journalist Alexandra Robbins was addressing young people when she gave the following advice, but you will benefit from it regardless of your age: “There is nothing wrong with you just because you haven’t yet met people who share your interests or outlook on life. Know that you will eventually meet people who will appreciate you for being you.” I offer this to you now, Cancerian, because the coming months will bring you into connection with an abundance of like-minded people who are working to create the same kind of world you are. Are you ready to enjoy the richest social life ever?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Author Kevin Kelly is a maverick visionary who has thought a lot about how to create the best possible future. He advocates that we give up hoping for the unrealistic concept of utopia. Instead, he suggests we empower our practical efforts with the term “protopia.” In this model, we “crawl toward betterment,” trying to improve the world by one percent each year. You would be wise to apply a variation on this approach to your personal life in the coming months, Leo. A mere one-percent enhancement is too modest a goal, though. By your birthday in 2024, a six-percent upgrade is realistic, and you could reach as high as 10 percent.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In honor of the Virgo birthday season, I invite you to be exceptionally distinctive and singular in the coming weeks, even idiosyncratic and downright incomparable. That’s not always a comfortable state for you Virgos to inhabit, but right now it’s healthy to experiment with. Here’s counsel from writer Christopher Morley: “Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.” Here’s a bonus quote from Virgo poet Edith Sitwell: “I am not eccentric! It’s just that I am more alive than most people.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you sometimes wish your life was different from what it actually is? Do you criticize yourself for not being a perfect manifestation of your ideal self? Most of us indulge in these fruitless energy drains. One of the chief causes of unhappiness is the fantasy that we are not who we are supposed to be. In accordance with cosmic rhythms, I authorize you to be totally free of these feelings for the next four weeks. As an experiment, I invite you to treasure yourself exactly as you are right now. Congratulate yourself for all the heroic work you have done to be pretty damn good. Use your ingenuity to figure out how to give yourself big doses of sweet and festive love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio novelist Kurt Vonnegut testified, “I want to stay as close on the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge, you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center. Big, undreamed-ofthings—the people on the edge see them first.” I’m not definitively telling you that you should live like Vonnegut, dear Scorpio. To do so, you would have to summon extra courage and alertness. But if you are inclined to explore such a state, the coming weeks will offer you a chance to live on the edge with as much safety, reward, and enjoyment as possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Where there is great love, there are always miracles,” wrote Sagittarian novelist Willa Cather (1873–1947). In accordance with upcoming astrological aspects, I encourage you to prepare the way for such miracles. If you don’t have as much love as you would like, be imaginative as you offer more of the best love you have to give. If there is good but not great love in your life, figure out how you can make it even better. If you are blessed with great love, see if you can transform it into being even more extraordinary. For you Sagittarians, it is the season of generating miracles through the intimate power of marvelous love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author Alexander Woollcott (1187–1943) could be rude and vulgar. He sometimes greeted cohorts by saying, “Hello, Repulsive.” After he read the refined novelist Marcel Proust, he described the experience as “like lying in someone else’s dirty bath water.” But according to Woollcott’s many close and enduring friends, he was often warm, generous, and humble. I bring this to your attention in the hope that you will address any discrepancies between your public persona and your authentic soul. Now is a good time to get your outer and inner selves into greater harmony.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1963, Aquarian author Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique, a groundbreaking book that became a bestseller crucial in launching the feminist movement. She brought to wide cultural awareness “the problem that has no name”: millions of women’s sense of invisibility, powerlessness, and depression. In a later book, Friedan reported on those early days of the awakening: “We couldn’t possibly know where it would lead, but we knew it had to be done.” I encourage you to identify an equivalent quest in your personal life, Aquarius: a project that feels necessary to your future, even if you don’t yet know what that future will turn out to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: All of them make me laugh.”

Piscean poet W. H. Auden said that. After analyzing the astrological omens, I conclude that laughing with those you love is an experience you should especially seek right now. It will be the medicine for anything that’s bothering you. It will loosen obstructions that might be interfering with the arrival of your next valuable teachings. Use your imagination to dream up ways you can place yourself in situations where this magic will unfold.
