MORNING WORD, MARCH 25:
NEWS, MARCH 25: “ASPHALT COMPANY PLANS UP IN THE AIR”
BILLOWING SMOKE I want to thank Katherine Lewin for keeping the issue of the asphalt plant alive and well. I am sure a public meeting will be postponed at this point because of the virus, but the issue of the plant needs to be continued. As a resident of the Southside I have seen the billowing black smoke coming from the plant when it does operate and there have been mornings where I have not been able to be in my yard due to the toxic fumes. I live off Jaguar close to Cerrillos Road, so it does travel far. I am concerned about the Air Quality Bureau Chief Elizabeth Kuehn’s comment that another public meeting “ is an opportunity to have the applicant present to the public what their proposal was as there is confusion.” That comment makes me believe she is siding with a company that already pollutes our air rather than being concerned about the air quality of Southside residents. I hope this assumption is incorrect. While at this point we are mostly concerned with the virus, as well we should be,

Get the Message Scientists are modeling the way social interactions impact virus outbreaks such as COVID-19
BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl
D
uring his time as a postdoctoral fellow at the Santa Fe Institute, Laurent HébertDufresne, now an assistant professor at the University of Vermont’s Complex Systems Center and Department of Computer Science, began looking at how biological viruses interact with informational memes. Hébert-Dufresne co-authored a February Nature Physics paper on this topic with fellow former SFI postdoc Sam Scarpino and Jean-Gabriel Young from the University of Michigan. SFR spoke with Hébert-Dufresne about this work and its possible application to COVID-19 via phone last week. The interview has been edited for space and clarity. Some of the research for your recent paper started in 2015 when you were at SFI. What sparked your interest? If you remember, late 2014 was the peak of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. A lot of the coverage [in North America] would focus on funeral practices in Sierra Leone and how these cultural traditions were a challenge to the [World Health Organization] in fighting this outbreak. I really got fascinated in how [the way] we talk about public health crises influences the crisis itself, but also the messaging itself

is an integral part of this public health data. Social communication around outbreaks are just as valuable data points as cases and diagnoses from doctors. The measles outbreak in the Philippines also is a really good example, sparked by an entire vaccination movement. I think a lot of what’s going on with coronavirus is going to become yet another example of how social messaging and social communication and social contagion are integral to forecasting emerging outbreaks. What would be helpful for people to understand about exponential growth as it relates to outbreaks? Exponential growth is the idea if patient zero of an outbreak infects two people and those infect two people each and those four human cases infect two people each, those numbers grow very, very, very quickly. So even
Scientist Laurent Hébert-Dufresne first began studying how biological viruses interact with informational memes in 2015 at the Santa Fe Institute.
though it might look like three cases in a big state doesn’t matter that much, it doesn’t take long for those three cases to turn to seven and from seven to turn to close to 20, and within days you’re at hundreds. What exponential growth is telling us is you can’t really rely on a number to estimate what your risks of getting the disease tomorrow are. The risks are growing very, very quickly, versus something like car crashes, where essentially your risks tomorrow in your car are pretty much the same as today. You can’t use the same logic to account for risks as a linear process like car crashes. There is more and more evidence that some outbreaks can grow even faster than exponential growth, so we start thinking about super exponential growth.
…One way to think about super exponential growth is that it’s exponential growth but where the rate of transmission keeps going up. So, maybe in the first generation of transmission, I infect two people and they each infect two people, but eventually they start infecting three people each, four people each, where the rate is going up, and then we need to think about risks in just a completely different way. Are you arguing that’s what’s happening with COVID-19? I don’t think it is, based on the number we’re seeing. It was a concern for me early on just due to the amount of misinformation or people who were convinced that it was just another flu. You said on Twitter that messaging/viral stories/ misinformation are shaping #COVID19. What were you referring to? The first example is the official intervention in Wuhan at first downplayed the outbreak quite a bit. It was messages on social media that went viral and told the government to open temporary shelters that over a few days housed tens of thousands of individuals, so it was made bottom up; it was
people making sure that the public was aware of the risk that forced the hand of the government into taking the situation more seriously. We’re seeing something similar in the US where, in the initial days, it was really fascinating and powerful to me to see how people started social distancing and started talking about the importance of isolation and social distancing before any top-down intervention to close restaurants or close schools and all that. So, I think in a lot of good ways social media has been helping shape this outbreak for the best. We’re going to see…where some people are not taking the disease as seriously as they should and then that’s going to have the opposite effect. You’re quoted in Science Daily saying ‘[T]en friends telling you to go see the new Star Wars movie is different from one friend telling you the same thing ten times.’ Is that a way of understanding simple versus complex contagions? Yes. Exactly. So, in the social sciences when we think about contagion, and here we might be thinking about whether or not to adapt social distancing, the same thing goes: If you have 10 friends telling you to not go out on Friday night, that’s more powerful than a single friend telling you the same thing 10 times. This idea of social reinforcement doesn’t happen in diseases. To give you a gross example: Ten friends sneezing in your face one time each is not that different in terms of exposure to the virus than one friend sneezing 10 times in your face. The classic picture of all epidemiological models is that all that matters are the total exposures to a virus or the pathogens and that holds true for a lot of diseases. It turns out that complex contagion models work very well as a description in terms of interacting diseases. [Using] the example of influenza and pneumonia, if you have both, the pneumonia makes you cough quite a bit and maybe that makes influenza even more transmissible. That means you’re more likely to infect people if you have both than if you just had one of them. These interactions across pathogens looks a lot like a social contagion. We’re at this turning point in mathematical modeling…where we’re trying to go beyond one disease equals one pathogen and acknowledge the interaction across different pathogens. We’re trying to get new tools to do it better, and I think bor-
rowing from what the social sciences have been doing is going to be a key steppingstone. Is COVID-19 following a complex spreading pattern or is it too soon to tell? It’s probably too soon to tell, but the classic exponential growth is holding true and holding true in a lot of different continents, states and regions. What’s interesting to me is to see the different rate of exponential growth in different states, some of which are due to population densities, some of which are due to social behavior. Trying to understand what shapes the exponential rate is a complex question. I think a lot of it has to do with social messaging and has to do with us and not the pathogen itself, obviously. Social media is a relatively new phenomena and contagious diseases are not. Does that make the research you’re doing only relevant in the here and now? What we’re talking about has been always true. Social messaging and the way people talk about outbreaks have always been important in shaping those outbreaks. The reason we’re sort of at a turning point now is because social messaging reaches further than before and we hear about outbreaks way before they hit us, and we hear about them not only from official health agencies but from people all over the world. It’s important now more than ever to account for social messaging around outbreaks, but for the first time we also have the data to help us do so. What are the open questions you’re looking at now? Right now, one key focus of my work and a lot of people at SFI is trying to figure out the next steps. The early work was focused on how likely is this to become a pandemic? And now for the last few weeks, it was more about messaging, making sure people were aware of the risk. The next step for questions is: When is it safe to come out? When is it safe to relax social distancing? That’s a very hard question and that’s the next big open problem. We need a lot of different perspectives to think about that well because there are still consequences for both health and economics, it’s a tough problem but I’m confident that we’ll do good work.

Guide to Self-Isolation Social distancing can lead to personal discoveries while we ride it out
W
e’ve heard the phrase “ride it out,” a lot in recent weeks. Our friends who live in hurricane country have always known the meaning of the words. Yet the social distancing and government ordered business shutdowns that we’re living in today have a longer lifespan than a storm. New Mexico schools are officially distance learning through the end of the school year scheduled for May 20, and high school athletics are cancelled
along with everything going on at college campuses. Add that to state rules limiting gatherings to groups of five, restaurants to take-out and hotels to half-capacity, and life during the COVID-19 outbreak is pretty sealed up for a couple months—at least. The president even gave up on Easter last weekend, ordering restrictions to continue through the end of April to slow the spread of the infectious disease. Let’s get to riding it out.
Isolation Recommendations What to read, watch and listen to while you’re safe at home
S
anta Feans are not always good at following the rules, but we know our town has rallied to respond to public health orders intended to slow the spread of COVID-19. This means we’re all doing things at home like reading, watching the tube and listening to tunes. What follows are recommendations about how others are passing the time.
James Reich, author Read: Beyond the Robot: The Life and Work of Colin Wilson by Gary Lachman. In 1956, Colin Wilson’s The Outsider established him as a counter-culture wunderkind, the English Jean-Paul Sartre. Gary Lachman (founding member of Blondie) chronicles how, after this auspicious start, things went horribly wrong, and offers a reappraisal of Wilson as a serious, visionary writer on philosophy, literature and the occult. What better time to read about a genuine ‘outsider’ than while we’re all staying inside? Watch: TV: Westworld: Season One. I grew up with re-runs of the ’70s Yul Brynner
classic (far superior to Crichton’s other ‘theme-park-goes-wrong’ narrative Jurassic Park), so I had some trepidation. And I didn’t have HBO until this week. This TV version makes beautiful use of Julian Jaynes’ cult ‘70s psych book The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, a healthy dose of Jung, and a bit of the old ultraviolence. Listen: Simple Minds: New Gold Dream (81– 82–83–84). I didn’t get to see Simple Minds until some years later at The Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute in London, 1988, with Little Steven, Peter Gabriel and Johnny Marr. It was one of the best days of my life, all told, so I have a lot of nostalgia for this band. This album is one of those unassailable peaks of post-punk Romanticism. If you don’t like it, then we can’t really be friends.
Jono Manson, musician/producer/ audio professional Read: I’ve been reading David Byrne’s How Music Works. It’s cool. Autobiographical, but he’s a real interesting dude. Watch: When I was in solo quarantine for 14 days after coming back from Italy, I was alone in a house with a big
Parasite / Amazon Prime rental
screen TV. At our house, we have no TV at all—so, naturally, I watched movies, and the entire Ken Burns’ Vietnam documentary series (to cheer myself up!). Listen: I’ve been listening to rough mixes of some projects that I’m producing and planning next steps—whenever they might be able to happen.
Jamie Blosser, executive director of Santa Fe Art Institute Read: Decolonizing Wealth by Edgar Villanueva is about the accumulation of wealth and resulting inequitable
philanthropic structures. Villanueva uses Indigenous models of restorative justice to show how money can be de-colonized, and how we can re-imagine it as a resource, like water, to heal divides and restore balance. Watch: Parasite! Listen: (Blosser had a lot of great music recs, but we’re picking this one): Creative Santa Fe Executive Director Cyndi Conn’s pandemic Spotify playlist, which includes “Gimme Shelter” by the Rolling Stones and “My House” by Flo Ri Da.

George Johnson, science journalist and author Read: Blindness by José Saramago. In the early days of the pandemic, I was reading (actually listening to) José Saramago’s novel Blindness, about a very different kind of plague. The story is grim but mesmerizing, and solace is long in coming. But what stuck with me were the glints of humanity. Watch: I don’t have a music recommendation, but while I was listening to Blindness I stumbled upon a very absorbing and intelligent television series, Counterpart, on Amazon, with an even stranger plot, centering on an epidemic unfolding in a parallel world.
Beth Gutelius, associate director of the Center for Urban Economic Development at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Santa Fe resident Read: Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good by adrienne maree brown, because what better time than a pandemic to explore the intersection of joy, social justice, and physical feel-good? Listen: The best album of 2019 IMHO was Ancestral Recall by Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah.
Watch: Napolean Dynamite for a good escape and hearty belly laugh.
Annie Liu, Production Manager at the Santa Fe Playhouse Read: I’m reading a play called Hangmen by Martin McDonagh, because our little Playhouse staff started a play reading book club, and we never got to actually do it because of the lockdown. This was my assigned play

listings, including classical and opera from 1900 to the present. Take special note of the Mahler cycle with Claudio Abbado from the Lucerne Festival.
Watch: (She produced a wildly enjoyable video for social media about what the various theater employees are doing during quarantine, so watch that first.) I’m watching the show Gentefied on Netflix, because I’ve heard it was really good but never took the time to pay attention to watch a new show. I usually re-watch random sitcoms as background noise while I do other things.
Garden and Cook: Gardening and fresh air are super important now for good health. Cook most of the time, order the occasional takeout, and walk a couple of miles per day. Our plants are coming up now. We’re looking forward to cleaning up the dead leaves, pruning them, and starting to enjoy the beautiful spring weather.
Listen: I haven’t been listening to much music because I listen to music the most when driving, and I haven’t been out or gone anywhere in almost two weeks. I’ve been playing my own music at home on my guitar though. I play folk punk, and I had been practicing for a gig at the end of this month, but it’s been cancelled.
Read: The Opium Eater series of novels by David Morrel are intense and have to be diluted with heavy splashes of pulp fiction.
Richard Eeds, radio host
Watch: I do news, opinion, controversy all day at work and I need TV and reading to escape and relax. Recommendations include Picard, Better Call Saul, Homeland.
Linda Marianiello, Tierra Contenta resident Read: Reading is so personal, but I recommend going through your bookshelves and revisiting things you love, but haven’t read lately. We love Rudolfo Anaya’s novels, including Bless Me Ultima. Also reading a biography of Dmitri Shostakovich, Testimony, in translation. Watch: YouTube is amazing for all kinds of music video and audio. Highly recommend perusing the historic music
Jamilla Jaramillo, Capital High School student Read: Of course they should always read their local papers (because of the pandemic) stay informed! As well as any kind of book! I’ve been reading The Mists of Avalon and it’s amazing! It’s great, has a lot of woman empowerment!!
Watch: Honestly I’ve been watching Roswell New Mexico! It’s a pretty good show! Listen: I LOVE the Bobby Bones podcasts on Spotify, I’ve been listening to the ones I missed a month ago.
Dana Middleton, Santa Fe National Organization of Women Read: I just finished a book called News of the World (soon to be a film with Tom Hanks) which I so loved. Beautiful story, lovely writing. Just before that I read The Overstory, another great book. (Which someone should make a film out of ). Watch: I am watching DVDs. Netflix, of course. A very quiet little film called The Bookshop (Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy) was thoughtful and just the kind of film I wanted to watch…I did see a timely and fascinating PBS series the other night, Net World World. Listen: The radio; usually NPR or KSFR in the morning. After the Jazz shows on KSFR it will be 95.5 and some classical music to calm down...Then I do go to my CDs and bring out the CDs I haven’t listened to in a long time…Che Tango Quierdo that I got a few years back in Argentina. Maybe some Boz Scaggs (“Beautiful”) or even a few Sting classics.
So You’re Finally Gonna Get Into Video Games Locked down and looking for a hobby? Gaming is the answer, friends BY ALEX DE VORE
I
don’t live with my mother, I don’t dwell in a basement, I’ve never worn an adult diaper to eliminate trips to the bathroom. I have, however, experienced one of the most innovative and exciting narrative mediums known to humankind, and I’ve done it a lot. I’ve traveled to Mars and deep below the sea—I’ve solved puzzles inside mysterious caves, tracked long-dead pirates across the globe, ridden dragons, investigated androids and become Batman, Spider-Man and any number of others. I’ve made real-life friends, learned the history of ancient and not-so-ancient civilizations; I’ve expanded my understanding of the world and, frankly, killed time and surrendered to escapism (not such a bad thing), all from the comfort of my own home. With the COVID-19 quarantine in effect for many, one thing I’ve heard from numerous people is how unprepared they are for the doldrums. This is going to be boring at times, and you can only passively watch so many movies or TV shows in a row. Books are fantastic, obviously, but if you’ve ever found yourself stress reading and repeating the same paragraph with little comprehension, books don’t always come to the rescue. Now’s as good a time as any to get into video games. Let us first set aside the idea of gaming as time killer. We’ll also sidestep the aged and incorrect idea of the game dork. Instead, let’s look to a 2014 study from Oxford that found gaming had a positive effect on dyslexic children. According to study by Vanessa Harrar published the study in Current Biology,
the rapid response time needed to play video games, as well as the visual stimuli, reinforced dyslexic users’ ability to absorb and translate information. Whereas we tend to focus on the phonetics and logic of reading for treating dyslexia, video games’ visual relating of information was more easily consumed and came with a marked improvement. So now that you know these things can be good for you (and in more ways than that one just mentioned), the second argument is in narrative value. Yes, we’re all aware of the disastrous 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie with Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper, but as the medium has evolved and tools have grown more sophisticated, so, too, have storytellers’ abilities to weave their craft. 2013’s The Last of Us, for example—the story of a gruff smuggler who’d lost his daughter just as the world descended into viral chaos and his ultimate road to imperfect redemption—is currently being adapted into an HBO series with creator and original writer Neil Druckman along for the ride. Look as well to games like Assassin’s Creed, What Remains of Edith Finch (which, your Meow Wolf buddies will tell you, majorly inspired their installation), The Walking Dead or even developer Josef Fares’ fantastic Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and we’ve only scratched the surface of narrative possibility. Gone are the days of only brick-breaking and turtle-stomping (though you can still do so), alongside them; instead, a fledgling and blank canvas limited only by the speed of technology and imagination. But if you’re going to do this, you’ll want to do it right. Consoles, which come with arguably the lowest bar of entry and are much less complicated for users than building a PC, aren’t exactly cheap, and each serves a slightly
different purpose. To help, find here a breakdown of the big three—who they’d be appropriate for and why you might want one. Remember that if/once the world goes back to normal, we’re due for a new console generation this fall. Fingers crossed.
ers could find a deal on a refurbished unit. PS4 often has the best exclusives, particularly by developers like From Software (Bloodborne), Naughty Dog (The Last of Us, Uncharted) and Insomniac (Ratchet and Clank, SpiderMan). For my money, even the Pro runs a tad slow, and its cumbersome UI makes things tricky for n00bs. Still, as escapism and game libraries go, this is pound for pound a complete beast. Oh, and check out Horizon Zero Dawn.
Xbox One S and Xbox One X
Think of Microsoft’s machines as a half step below PC in terms of what they can do and to whom the company is catering. Many bemoan the lack of exclusive titles (Xbox is home to Halo and Gears of War) and, despite a robust library of indies, how the S and X models are aimed more at adults than families. Still, with many games going cross-platform (across multiple consoles), it comes down to power. The X model is more expensive, but is easily the most powerful console available— though without a television capable of true 4K and HDR (fancy hi-def terms) the S will more than suit your needs. Xbox also has a great marketplace, and the Gamepass program offers hundreds of downloadable titles for a monthly fee; same goes for Xbox Live, the company’s online subscription service for accessing multiplayer games.
PS4 and PS4Pro
The Pro model of Sony’s Playstation comes with more muscle and a higher pricetag, but casual gamers or newcom-
Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite
The console that put Nintendo back on the map, the Switch can phase from TV console to mobile console. In other words, you can start a game at home then switch (ha!) to the included 6.2 inch 1080p screen and take that bad boy anywhere. These days, that might mean around your house, but it’s still handy when someone wants the big TV. Nintendo flourishes in family fun, so with games like Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey or Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, everyone can rally together. Switch is also home to countless indie titles, bite-sized experiences, some of the biggest games out today (albeit with lesser graphics than its bigger, stronger cousins) and so many old-school NES and SNES games that it becomes an amazing value to older gamers. The Lite version is handheld only, though, so be aware if you’re placing an order and, sadly, accessories ain’t cheap. Regardless, this one’s for you if you want your love affair to remain casual.

This way to the weight room BY JEFF PROCTOR
I
recall a sense of moderate unease during my last trip the the gym: An extra few wipes to clean the StairMaster before battling it, a suspicious glance at the fellow who’d just set down the dumbbells I needed, brave some knee chafing to spare myself the exercise mat, and no chance am I getting in the steam room. Like so many things in this foggy Escher sketch we call reality nowadays, it feels like a lifetime or three ago. It was March 6—five days before the first cases of COVID-19 emerged in New Mexico. On March 19, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s administration officially shut down the gyms as part of ever-tightening restrictions aimed at reducing the virus’ spread. (I like to think gyms were ghost towns by then, but I’m certain they weren’t.) Readers familiar with my oeuvre— meticulous reviews of bloody marys and even less healthful culinary options, disclosure of a chronic lung condition and the documenting of human misery—plus my public facing disdain for most things good might be pausing to ask right about now: Wait, you go the gym? Why, yes. Yes, I do. Well, I did. According to an email I received from my fitness center just before the end of the world, my year anniversary was March 10. For the most part, I’ve taken it quite seriously and am in significantly better shape at 45 than I was at 35. But I’d never worked out at home, save for a few push-ups and unweighted wall squats during perfunctory attempts at “fitness” through the years. What to do?
1330 Rufina Circle P: 505.231.7775
For four days I sulked, certain I was the only wretch alive set to hand his hardwon #gainz over to the damned new coronavirus. Then, lark! The internet! Turns out, half the country was talking about how to ensure tone and mass without being able to sculpt their guns in front of others. Turns out, lots of folks have been doing it for years. I did a little Googling and, soon enough, was off to the races. In the home office closet, behind a stack of old newspapers I’d never want a fire marshal to see, I found one of those blow-up exercise balls. It was still in the box, but the little plastic pump was not. I unearthed that from the garage (under still more old newspapers) and, presto! Things were starting to cook. I’m a journalist, see, and things are tight (please donate at sfreporter.com/ friends!) but I was gonna need more than the ball. I grabbed my sleeve of Clorox wipes and braved the wilds of an area fitness supply store. This was before such places were shut down, but the clerk knew it was just a matter of time. He’d seen two customers all day and was hap-

Much as I miss the steam room—and for me, there’s no cardio substitute for the StairMaster—I almost prefer this to the gym. Blasting the Grateful Dead show of my choice as opposed to hassling with earbuds or enduring the gym’s AC/DCand Train-fueled playlists during workouts may have something to do with this. (Please, no more “Drops of Jupiter.”) I’ve stayed in shape and, as importantly during these increasingly dark times, I’ve done immeasurable favors for my mental health. I know other folks have shifted to online exercise or yoga classes via Zoom, Google Hangouts or pick your technological witchcraft (see the handy list we’ve compiled if this is your jam), but I’m here to say a DIY solo mission cobbled together on the cheap works just as well.

The act of being still
B Y L A U R A PA S K U S
I
LAURA PASKUS
t started years ago. To quell waves of anxiety, I’d sit outside my back door in the morning. With a notebook and favorite pen, I’d close my eyes and listen. The drone of distant traffic, the bang of a screen door. Then: the coo of a mourning dove, the low, sad dog whine of a roadrunner. Bush tits sprinkling themselves within the branches of the pine tree, sparrows popping out from behind the bark where they’ve nested in a neighbor’s dead cottonwood tree. A male house finch, singing for a mate—a sound that makes me think of meadowlarks, but only because I was walking past a meadowlark in South Dakota while chatting with my young daughter, who’d just learned to whistle and belted out the house finch’s song to me over the phone. And that’s how the listening game works. My ability to identify birds by their songs isn’t particularly keen. I can discern the call and response of a pair of goldfinches checking in on one anoth-
er. The ham-radio-tune of a starling and the “krewe” of a Eurasian collared dove. I can’t tell who makes the “pews” and husky “rees!” Most of the cacophony—especially right around dawn, when everyone in the neighborhood greets the day—is mysterious to me. That’s okay. It’s the act of being still, of listening that matters. I like being reminded that I’m one tiny—flightless, basically songless—member of a wild and brilliant community. I like paying attention to who comes through the neighborhood, and at what time of year. Last February, 40 or 50 cedar waxwings descended into the yard, parched for water and ravenous for last summer’s crabapples. In late fall, the juncos arrive; in March, woodpeckers start rattling against the tree in my yard infected with elm scale. And of course, we all greet October’s sandhill cranes. I don’t maintain this exercise regularly; certainly not consistently enough to compile some sort of environmental history of the yard. When the weather turns colder, for example, I return to sprinting through the morning—fitting
Neighbohood birds like this cedar waxwing are sounding off. All you have to do is listen.
While drinking coffee—with my red heeler backed up against me, guarding and always on high-alert—I’d list the sounds around me.
in freelance or school work before waking up my daughter and moving on to the rush of readying for school and work. In early March, I’d resumed listening, drawn out by the warmer mornings, worried about a call-back to the doctor’s and fretting over work and money. While drinking coffee—with my red heeler backed up against me, guarding and always on high-alert—I’d list the sounds around me. Typically, I track the sounds down one page of my notebook, and try to write away the sleepless night’s fears and coming day’s dreads on the facing page. By the end of 20 or 30 minutes, I can walk back into the house, grateful to dwell on such a luminous planet, amazed to live in a city where, if only I give them my attention, 15 to 20 species of birds will yield themselves up to me each morning. Then, a couple of weeks ago… Well, we all know what started happening. It became harder to sleep through the night, and then more difficult to wake at dawn. I worry I’ll never see my mom again, or that something bad will happen to my brother’s family. I miss hugging my friends, hosting a bevy of smart, loud journalists around my dining room table, and inviting my daughter’s friends into our home. I miss weekly hikes in the Sandias with one of my closet friends, drinks with my colleagues, going to the
gym with my daughter. Every single person I care about, from my childhood best friend through my college roommate to every co-worker, relative, and friend I love–each and every one of them right now is worried, scared, and uncertain. I want to reassure each of them, we’ll get through this. We’ll learn some lessons, and as my sister-in-law wrote in an email, come out smarter and stronger for the future. That’s what I want to do. And so in the mornings, I head outside to listen. I look forward to the exercise during the worrisome night, crave it as a way to set a better tone for the day. And while this has always been a solitary exercise—a way to breathe and take a break—now, I’ve started asking people to join me. To also go outside in the morning if they’re able, to listen, and to share with me what they’re hearing. On the mornings when I feel particularly low, the thing that pulls me outside isn’t even the excitement to hear the spotted towhee scratching in last fall’s dried leaves. Or the hope I’ll catch the murders and murders of crows streaming across the early morning sky. It’s the thought that friends might be outside listening. And maybe they need to feel connected—not just to their avian neighbors, but to me, too. Share your mornings by tagging #OurLandNM or @Our_Land_NM on Instagram, or @LauraPaskus on Twitter.

Santa Fe Museums Adapt to Stay-at-Home Order

A trio of local museums turn to online engagement in the age of COVID-19 BY ALEX DE VORE |

COURTESY ARTSTEPS
ou’ll need to make your own virtual reality goggles first. That sounds hard, but it’s not like you don’t have a lot of time on your hands right now. And anyway, it’s not so hard, as I recently learned with a fun tutorial from instructables.com (you’ll need a shoebox, scissors, a gluestick some velcro and two 45mm biconvex lenses. That last one is tricky, but you can get them on Amazon; just remember you want two). Next, download the artsteps app to your phone. Now, search for “IAIA.” This will take you to IAIA’s Museum of Contemporary Native Arts. Click “watch,” put on those goggles and you’re practically inside MoCNA and virtually touring one of its newest exhibits: Indigenous Futurisms: Transcending Past/Present/Future. It’s all thanks to MoCNA’s senior manager of education, Winoka Yepa (Diné). She designed the virtual space through the artsteps app’s toolset, which allows users to render virtual environments; Yepa started the project roughly a month ago, and it has become one of the most intriguing assets from a local museum. Period. “It’s a pretty simple program,” she tells SFR. “It’s something that could be easily used by anyone.” And it’s free. In the case of Indigenous Futurisms, Yepa worked with high-quality digital photography to recreate the exhibit, which features a staggering list of Native artists including Daniel McCoy (Muscogee Creek/ Citizen Band Potawatomi), Elizabeth LaPensée (Anishinaabe/Métis), Sarah Sense (Chitimacha), Steven Paul Judd (Kiowa/Choctaw) and so many others. Pieces explore popular sci-fi imagery from Alien to Star Wars, as well as more realistic points of inspiration, in sculpture, painting, textiles, clothing and much more. Back in the app, intuitive virtual buttons make strolling the show a breeze.
Taking the museum experience virtual.
“Walking” up to any work, users can summon popup windows with more info about the artists and their intent—there’s even an option to view the exhibit sans goggles. I just wanted to point out that they’re fun. This is only the beginning. Yepa says she’s kicking around the idea of creating another virtual exhibit with artsteps for the IAIA BFA senior show. “It went up around the same week we started getting COVID-19 cases in New Mexico,” she explains. “It was only up for about a week.” She also sees the artsteps tools as a possibility for other local museums and galleries. Such tools will become important as more museums adapt to sequestered audiences. The various teams at the New Mexico Museum of Art, for example, have been racking their brains for ways to foster and continue engagement. “We want to make sure all our departments are represented and have equal op-
portunity to engage our audience and get the work out there,” librarian and archivist Sophie Friedman tells SFR. “We have an ongoing list.” Friedman says staff is working on short and long term strategies, but immediate projects are focused on web and social media engagement. On the museum’s Facebook page, various departments are showcasing a more behind-the-scenes look at how the museum works. Friedman and others are creating a series of posts celebrating women in the arts to mark the 100-year anniversary of women’s suffrage; they’re also crowdsourcing to see what women artists the museum’s fans most appreciate. On Instagram, the museum is kicking off a hashtag (#nmavirtualexhibit) for artists to use when posting. Those posts will then be reviewed by curatorial staff for potential inclusion on the @newmexicomartmuseum page’s future virtual exhibits—a rare submissions opportunity according to Friedman.
“We have a new assistant curator who started, like, a month ago,” Friedman says. “This idea was hers.” That assistant curator is Jana Gottshalk, formerly of the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and the mind behind that museum’s critically beloved 2018 GenNext show. Elsewhere, the museum’s tried and true curatorial staff of Merry Scully, Christian Waguespack and Katherine Ware continue working, though their specific upcoming exhibits have not been announced. “Every day, all seven days of the week, we have a different series assigned as either a Facebook or Instagram post, story or both to different departments,” Friedman adds. “What we’re trying to do is provide a virtual presence, an idea of what we do when we’re physically open.” Up on Museum Hill, Khristtan Villela, the Museum of International Folk Art’s executive director, is facing similar challenges. MoIFA’s online presence is already strong with a massive, searchable archive, downloadable lesson plans in English and Spanish and more, but COVID-19 has led to plans for virtual tours, extended online experiences, docent blogs, potential video series and a new YouTube channel that already boasts 47 videos with curators, artists and others. “We’re assessing all kinds of possibilities,” Villela says. “For example, there’s a team right now from New Mexico Highlands [University] assisting us with a micro-website for the [Yokai: Ghosts and Demons of Japan] exhibit; we had worked with a professor in Kyoto and his students, and they taped several ghost stories…those are ideally suited to go up online.” The museum has already been handing out bags of free art supplies along with meals provided through Santa Fe Public Schools and, according to Villela, will continue to evolve and adapt.

Ours are the chileptin wild chiles from the NMSU Chile Pepper Institute, which Walker says are known as “the mother of all pepper” and are very close to the wild chiles that can be found growing in Texas and Arizona. The bad news for you is that the institute can’t fulfill online orders right now. We learned this the hard way and had been waiting for each day’s mail in vain. Luckily, we ordered one packet of what turned out to be NMSU pepper seeds from the Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds Co. (rareseeds.com) in Missouri and they arrived. Santa Fe’s nurseries also carry several varieties and as of this writing, Agua Fria Nursery (aguafrianursery.com) remained open, for example. Choosing a variety that is cultivated for Northern New Mexico matters, as our short growing season and chilly nights can take their toll on positive outcomes. Española Improved and Chimayo are two landrace chiles the university sells and that Walker recommends for Santa Fe. Our region’s last average frost falls on May 15. Plant these seeds inside about six to eight weeks before that date (so, like, soon).
“If you really want to go all out for your pepper seedlings, they respond really well to bottom heat. Many real die-hard gardeners will actually have grow mats that will be placed under those germinating seedlings that keep the soil warm,” Walker says. “You don’t want the soil to be less than 60 degrees, that is going to really slow or stunt growth. And, really, 80 degrees soil temperature is optimum.”
GR
First: Choose your seeds.
It’s hard to comprehend less-windy, warmer days, but they are coming. When you are ready to transplant to outside, make sure to ease the seedlings into it with limited exposure for a week or two before you make the big move—known as “hardening off.” “If you don’t have a garden spot ready with soil that you have been building over the years, container gardens work great, especially for plants like chile peppers. Even a one-gallon pot, you can grow a chile pretty successfully in,” says Walker, noting it’s a good idea to make a soil mound to bolster the delicate stem against spring winds. Chile research has been a staple at NMSU for decades, and even though the campus is temporarily closed, the work continues. Paul Bosland, the scientist/ breeder who established the Chile Pepper Institute, retired last year, and his replacement has not been named, but Danise Coon, associate research scientist, has already made plans for this year’s “show and tell plot.” Since the plot is in Las Cruces, the growing season has already begun. Walker plans to help move transplants into the field soon with other volunteers, she says, “The E few of us that are out there keeping LI JU the chile research going are going to all get together to make sure that these plots get planted one way or the other.” N

e’ve found ourselves with unplanned time at home this spring, and the discovery comes with all sorts of uncertainty about the future. When figuring out the source of your next roll of toilet paper feels daunting and you need to turn away from the latest numbers and curves and disease vectors, may we suggest turning to something ancient and hopeful? Plant something to eat later. The Southside condo I share with my husband and three cats has a tiny outdoor space that is largely consumed each year by our garden, so we were already planning this seasonal task before COVID-19 sent the community into tailspin. But it’s not too late for you and yours to get in on the action. In fact, it’s right on time for one of our favorite annual crops: chile. SFR caught up with Stephanie Walker, a New Mexico State University vegetable specialist, to walk us through tips for making the most of self-isolation to set ourselves up for chiles in the fall. “With the current world situation, it really does drive home the point that local control over our food is important. For even people who have fallen off with gardening, it’s a good time to do that now,” she says. “Starting chile seeds inside as trans-

plants is a great way to get a good head start on your garden.”
Use dried peat pods or a bag of potting soil if you’ve got it at home already. If not, you can still bring in something from last year’s container or the ground. Walker recommends baking it until it reaches 160 degrees to kill the bacteria that could thwart germination.
A sunny window rocks, but even a source like an incandescent light bulb helps seedlings thrive early on. Don’t keep them sopping but don’t let them dry out. “You’ll quickly kill germinating seeds or transplants that have been outside if you let the roots dry out,” she warns.

BEST MOVIE EVER
The 1980s dreamscape BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
10
Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon have a filmmaker son named Jack Henry Robbins. Did you know that? Well, they do, and to his credit, he shamelessly roped them into producing and appearing in his first widely-released feature, VHYes. And though normally I’d say something about how it must be nice, how it’s kind of gross, in the case of Robbins’ first opus, it’s a godsend that his folks helped him realize his movie. VHYES is one of the most delightfully strange and self-aware pieces of filmmaking I’ve ever seen. In fact, if I were hard-pressed to pick a shortfall when it comes to Robbins’ work, the only thing that comes to mind is how it’s aimed squarely at ’80s and ’90s kids; those born after need not apply—this is not for you. It’s shot entirely on VHS, and no, it’s not like a Stranger Things situation wherein it doesn’t matter if you remember riding bikes with dorks or the mall being a mecca of lust and commerce and kicky hairdos…VHYes captures a look and a vibe you truly need to have experienced to appreciate. That’s not meant to exclude, nor does it inherently make VHYes a better movie than others. It’s just what it is. We open with a kid named Ralph (Mason McNulty) on Christmas Day as he unwraps a VHS camcorder. Any semblance of normal quickly dissipates as two things start happening: Ralph re-

+ BEST THING EVER! - PATTON’S PERSONALITY HARD AT FIRST; LONGER THAN NECESSARY
You’d be forgiven for not knowing the name Mark Patton, but you’ve most assuredly heard of his work: Patton was the star of 1985’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, the sequel to the 1984 horror classic starring Johnny Depp, Heather Langenkamp and Robert Englund—the movie that brought us Freddy Kruger. Patton was Jesse, a super-hot teen whose body is being taken over by Freddy who hopes to escape the dream world. Audiences balked at screenwriter David Chaskin’s possession tale, however, causing Patton to quit acting and move into obscurity in Mexico. Nobody heard from him for more than 20 years. But then something interesting happened. Nightmare 2 achieved a sort of cult status over the following decades, but it wasn’t for its cheesiness or the iconic Freddy…Nightmare 2, it turns out, is a super-gay movie. I say this without a hint of homophobia—its gayness is actually a well-documented thing based in the movie’s subtext, male nudity, S&M bar scene and Patton’s acting choices (including an infamous dance number and a rather feminine scream). But while the hot-headed homophobes of the era were busy hating out of fear and insecurity and the shameful handling of the 1980s 20

peatedly shoots short and pointless footage of the world around him, and he realizes he can record late night television directly to the camcorder. We descend powerlessly into various shows and movies already in progress, and Robbins’ versions of programming reads like the dream version of something one barely remembers. There’s the Bob Ross-esque Joan (The State’s Kerri Kenney) who begins her painting with trees and happy clouds before advising us to “move on to the spaceships;” later, she watches us sleep. There’s the QVC-esque salesman (Thomas Lennon, also of The State) at odds with his onscreen partner/offscreen ex-wife, both of whom are selling cocaine as cooking supplies. There’s even second-rate pornography, with the good stuff edited for television, of course, and a spineless Antiques Roadshow-like host (Mark Proksch of What We Do in the Shadows) with a penchant for the macabre. There’s the painfully uncomfortable live music show with host Lou (Charlyne Yi) and her parents, a number of absurdly violent fake commercials, literal aliens and, wonderful-
AIDS crisis, an entire generation of closeted young gay men found a hero and some representation, even if it wasn’t intended. In the Patton-produced Scream, Queen, we follow him on the 2015 horror convention circuit as he unpacks what being in the film wrought for his life and career. Through interviews with Patton, horror fans and now-grownup gay men who love the movie, a picture emerges of Hollywood cruelty and the terrible homophobia of lowered expectations; Patton is on a mission to get an apology from the person he believes ruined his life, but he’s doling out hopeful tidbits about growing up gay in a time when it was more terrifying to do so. He’s a challenging hero, a seeming egomaniac and broken never-was who holds grudges for decades. Cast and crew from Nightmare 2 make appearances, but they’re mainly inconsequential outside of a showdown with writer Chaskin who, by the way, might just be a huge piece of shit. But almost none of that matters as much as the convention-goers and horror flick fans who tell us what it meant to have a handsome young man take on the de facto “last girl” horror trope. We realize Patton is right to hold that grudge. Is it ego-maniacal to want redemption or understanding or even just a simple apology? It’s more courageous, really, and a means for an accidental queer icon—who turned his later fame into activism—to show others it’s alright to stand up and hold their truths.. (Alex De Vore)

ly, an ode to classic horror that makes it in under the wire and weirds everything out even further… maybe there’s even a murder. Meanwhile, Robbins throws in references to political unrest with blink-and-miss-it nods to climate change and immigration, all while peripheral concepts of infidelity and skewed realities cinch tighter around us amongst Ralph’s filming habits— habits that will read familiar to literally anyone whose folks had a camcorder. Oh, this might not be for you. It probably isn’t. But aging pop culture fanatics are sure to fall in love, as are the elder statesmen of the millennial set. This is pure nostalgia distorted by a visionary that, while at times unnerving and challenging, is truly special. If the journey is the destination, Robbins absolutely nailed it. Enter if you dare.
CRIP CAMP

+ HISTORY YOU DIDN’T KNOW - SOME ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE FEELS LIKE PADDING
One of the funniest/saddest things about American history is how most everything we hold dear came about as the product of civil disobedience, yet those in power remind us that while it was heroic in the past, it’s absurd in the present. But let’s rewind the tape to the mid-1970s; the Catskills in upstate New York, and Camp Jened, a summer camp designed for disabled youths, and the unlikely starting point of a large-scale civil rights movement that spanned decades and changed the course of human history. In the new Netflix documentary Crip Camp (produced by the Obamas), filmmakers James Lebrecht, Nicole Newnham give the anthropology treatment to the Americans with Disabilities Act, tracing its origins to the impact of Camp Jened at a time when institutions like Willowbrook were the norm (look it up if you don’t know, but be warned that it’s beyond awful). As one subject says in the doc, it was commonplace for the disabled to be thrown into institutions and forgotten, but Jened treated them as human beings. It shouldn’t have been novel then, it shouldn’t be novel now, but as we continuously learn throughout Crip Camp, people don’t like thinking about things that make them uncomfortable, and despite ramps and accessible buses, the disabled are still undervalued, underestimated and abused.
VHYES Directed by Robbins With McNulty, Lennon, Kenney, Proksch and Yi Amazon, NR, 72 min.
Cut back to 1977, though, when things were so much worse—and here’s where the civil disobedience comes back into play—as former Jened camper Judy Heumann and her compatriots formed alliances with the Black Panthers, created activist groups up and down California and led such historical actions as the San Francisco federal building sit-in. Heumann becomes the film’s main focus in a way, a tireless advocate for the disabled and a ferocious speaker and doer. Still, with an almost unbelievable amount of footage shot at Camp Jened and at the various actions that followed in years after, it’s easy to appreciate how even the most seemingly inconsequential disabled camper played an important part. Heumann is still alive and fighting, and glimpses of her at 18, becoming radicalized at a hippie-run summer camp in upstate New York, are almost as fun as seeing her verbally eviscerate glad-handing politicians in the ’70s. So maybe Crip Camp says something about the indomitable human spirit, and maybe it’s just important viewing for people who had no idea how bad it was or still is today for the disabled. Either way, its ultimate magic comes from the simple understanding that when pissed off people get together and disobey, great things can happen. In the midst of a pandemic that’s laying bare the failings of capitalism this might strike especially hot, but Crip Camp should remain important anytime. Show it to everyone you can and take it the fuck seriously. (Alex De Vore)

BUBBA and CAGNEY were rescued from a public shelter, after they and another two cats as well as a dog, were surrendered by the surviving partner of their human who succumbed to cancer. BUBBA and CAGNEY are very outgoing and social. They are approximately 6 years old and are very bonded. They need to be adopted together.
CHICKPEA was brought to F&F by a rescue partner in Western NM who found her as an abandoned stray, but realized she was social and likely adoptable. CHICKPEA is approximately a year old, and enjoys gentle attention and affection. Once she knows and trusts you, she is a very loving sweet girl. She would do best in a home without young children or dogs, but would be fine with another gentle cat companion.

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of April 1st
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “If all the world’s a stage, where the hell is the teleprompter,” asks aphorist Sami Feiring. In my astrological opinion, you Aries are the least likely of all the signs to identify with that perspective. While everyone else might wish they could be better prepared for the nonstop improvisational tests of everyday life, most of you tend to prefer what I call the “naked spontaneity” approach. If you were indeed given the chance to use a teleprompter, you’d probably ignore it. Everything I just said is especially and intensely true for you right now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How hard are you willing to work on your most important relationships? How might your life change for the better if you gave them your most potent resourcefulness and panache? The next eight weeks will be a favorable time for you to attend to these matters, Libra. During this fertile time, you will have unprecedented power to reinvigorate togetherness with imaginative innovations. I propose you undertake the following task: Treat your intimate alliances as creative art projects that warrant your supreme ingenuity.

I suspect the first to admit it.” In the coming weeks, I’ll be fine if Transmedium Energy Healing. you merely match her mild level of apology—just as Worker’s Compensation and there’s an equally erroneous prophecy or unwarranted Auto Accidents Insurance expectation impacting your life right now.

One way accepted 505-501-0439 cess or phenomenon that seems to be nearing an end may in fact reinvent or resurrect itself, going on to last for quite some time. I suggest you clear away any misapprehensions you or others might have about it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I invite you to remember what you were thinking and feeling around your birthday in 2019. Were there specific goals you hoped to accomplish between then and your birthday in 2020? Were there bad old habits you aimed to dissolve and good new habits you proposed to instigate? Was there a lingering wound you aspired to heal or a debilitating memory you longed to conquer? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to take inventory of your progress in projects like those. And if you find that you have achieved less than you had hoped, I trust you will dedicate yourself to playing catch-up in the weeks between now and your birthday. You may be amazed at how much ground you can cover.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you have been thinking of adopting a child or getting pregnant with a new child, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to enter a new phase of rumination about that possibility. If you’ve been dreaming off and on about a big project that could activate your dormant creative powers and captivate your imagination for a long time to come, now would be a perfect moment to get more practical about it. If you have fantasized about finding a new role that would allow you to express even more of your beauty and intelligence, you have arrived at a fertile phase to move to the next stage of that fantasy.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For decades, the city of Sacramento, California suffered from severe floods when the Sacramento and American Rivers overflowed VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo-born Jack Ma is their banks.
