COVER, SEPTEMBER 7: “MAJOR BEEF”

BEEF WITH BEEF It is good to see that deBuys and his colleagues at the Quivira Coalition acknowledges that no one knows exactly what New Mexico grasslands were like before the conquistadores introduced cattle. Quivira has been pushing Allan Savory’s theory, reflected in this article, that grasslands need cows to survive, as they once supposedly needed bison. The details of grassland evolution may not yet be known, but clearly grasslands existed before either bison or cows.

Quivira has used the demand for grassfed beef to re-brand (pun intended) public lands ranchers as environmentally friendly.

Grassfed beef is a major part of the problem, not the solution to restoring grasslands.

EMPLOYEES’ RIGHTS [In his response to “Bound Hounds” (News, Aug. 31)], Ed Fields seems to assume that animal lovers are bleeding hearts who want to replace children or because they are wealthy can treat their pets well. My response is that if an individual cannot take loving care of an animal, that individual should not have one. If a pet is being used as a guard dog, even employees deserve to be treated with kindness and care. It is unfortunate that some families live in dangerous neighborhoods. That does not justify harming an animals for ones’ own use. I do defend an animal’s right to humane treatment. As to those who do not believe it is cruel to chain an animal for hours on end, I ask that they live that way for a few hours and determine whether that is awful or not for themselves.

BLUE CORN

Keep your trousers on, Billy!

Suspending disbelief?

G

BY ROBE RT B ASLE R

ather ’round, history buffs, it’s time for another rip-roaring tale of Billy the Kid. New Mexico sort of owns Billy, since he fought, killed and died here. He even spent a few months jailed in Santa Fe, back in 1880.

Roughly every eight minutes, somebody comes forward with a grainy old tintype and claims it’s Billy. You may recall the last one of those supposedly showed the Kid holding a croquet mallet. I’m not making this up.

There is only one authenticated photo of the outlaw, and even that one was published in reverse for many years, leading to the widespread misconception that Billy was left-handed. That photo sold for $2.3 million five years ago, so there’s big money in Billy memorabilia.

Which brings me to the latest round of Billymania.

According to a recent story in The Santa Fe New Mexican, yet another possible photo of the Kid has surfaced, but that’s not all. The guy in this photo is wearing red and yellow striped suspenders, and somebody may still own those as well.

Imagine, owning Billy the Kid’s old suspenders!

That would sure be a nifty thing to have in your collection, right next to Billy the Kid’s toenail clippers and Billy the Kid’s flip phone.

In this new photo, Billy is sitting on a large rock and has three handguns—two pistols and a Derringer in a small holster attached to the suspenders. If it’s real, this would be the most heavily armed Billy ever photographed, unless he was really, really good at swinging that croquet mallet.

The article mentions an unnamed guy in Oklahoma who says he used to own those suspenders but sold them about 35 years ago, so clearly the trail is white-hot. A Western antiques dealer is quoted as

ANSO N STEV ENS- BOLL EN

saying he would like to find the suspenders, and that “Somebody’s got to know where they’re at.”

Grammar aside, who the hell cares? Suspenders once owned by a grunting teenage sociopath? What is wrong with people? In my lifetime, I’ve seen human beings bid on Lee Harvey Oswald’s coffin, Adolf Hitler’s monogrammed bed linens, Bernard Madoff’s underwear and a Pez dispenser owned by Pontius Pilate.

Okay, maybe I made up that last one.

Why will people pay so much to get close to evil— and, more to the point, how can I get a piece of that action? Listen, and I’ll tell you.

This guy who is trying to authenticate the new photo says he has actually located the rock Billy is sitting on. If he can find it, I can, too—it’s a rock, in New Mexico, right? When I find it I’m going to need some sledge hammers and a pickup truck.

That’s right, collectors, get ready for certified chunks of a rock that Billy the Kid’s butt once sat on,

$1,000 each! Billy’s Butt Rocks, the perfect holiday gift!

There is one small bit of irony that I haven’t mentioned yet. The person who bought the left-handed Billy photo back in 2011 was none other than billionaire businessman William Koch, one of those Koch brothers who spend millions funding the most vile, slimy, despicable miscreants the Republicans can find to run for public office.

And while I don’t normally approve of buying artifacts left over from the worst people in history, in Koch’s case I’ll make an exception, because I figure that’s just less money for the nut job politicians.

Hey, Mr. Koch, can I interest you in a genuine Billy’s Butt Rock? And maybe one for your brother?

Federal agencies intervene in Dakota Access, call for broader review of Native involvement in infrastructure projects

BY E LI Z A B E TH M I L L E R E l i za b e t h @ s frepo r ter.co m

O

n the Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend, when bulldozers started moving toward rock cairns and other culturally significant sites recently identified by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, Native Americans gathered first to watch, and then to stop them. The situation escalated as security teams arrived with dogs, and tribal protesters left bloodied and maced. The tribe had just filed papers documenting those sites to the court, and was still awaiting the decision on a requested injunction.

“How would the government or anybody feel if we went and started digging up Gettysburg?” asks Tyler Wade, from the Laguna Pueblo, who had gone to join the protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which has drawn thousands of Native Americans to North Dakota to stand in solidarity.

The Dakota Access Pipeline is a proposed 1,200mile pipeline that would move crude oil across four upper-Midwestern states. Its path cuts within half a mile of the Standing Rock reservation and proposes to bore under Lake Oahe and the Missouri River, the source for drinking water for the reservation’s 8,000 residents, as well as millions of people downstream all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Since April, a growing number of tribes have been represented in an ongoing occupation of the riverbanks and campaign to stop the construction, arguing that local tribes didn’t have the chance to adequately review the area for and defend their cultural sites before construction began.

Their latest efforts through the court systems to obtain an injunction, which challenged the US Army Corps of Engineers permitting process, was denied, but federal agencies’ intervention could affect tribes around the country.

Nearly all of the Dakota Access Pipeline’s path lies on private land, so it needed almost no federal permitting of any kind.

“No federal agency had the ability to prevent DAPL’s construction from proceeding on these private lands,” wrote James Boasberg, US District Court Judge, in the decision issued on Sept. 9. “At most, the [US Army Corps of Engineers] could only have stopped these activities at the banks of a navigable US waterway. An injunction of an unlawful permitting now can, at most, do the same.”

With 48 percent of construction complete and no sign that Dakota Access will stop construction even if the court stopped the permits for the 3 percent

Hundreds of people are camped with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline.

subject to federal jurisdiction, Boasberg wrote, the court was, in fact, “powerless” to prevent the harm for which the tribes sought the injunction.

Minutes later, the Department of Justice, US Army Corps of Engineers and Department of the Interior intervened, pausing construction on land bordering and under Lake Oahe until it could review previous decisions.

“Furthermore, this case has highlighted the need for a serious discussion on whether there should be a nationwide reform with respect to considering tribes’ views on these types of infrastructure projects,” the agencies’ statement reads.

Those conversations should cover how to engage tribes on infrastructure-related reviews and decisions related to tribal lands, resources and treaty rights; and whether new legislation should be proposed to Congress.

“Our voices have been heard,” Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II said in a press release following that announcement. “Native peoples have suffered generations of broken promises and today the federal government said that national reform is needed to better ensure that tribes have a voice on infrastructure projects like this pipeline.”

In New Mexico, representatives from 19 pueblos have signaled their support for Standing Rock, as have chapters of the Navajo Nation and the Mescalero Apache Tribal Council. The Mescalero Apache tribe president wrote, “This is a fight that all tribes face.”

“This decision came out of response to thousands of people going to Standing Rock and speaking up about this, and had people not gone there to defend land and water, I don’t know that the Department of Justice, in collaboration with other federal agencies, would have released anything,” says Rachael Lorenzo, of the Laguna Pueblo and Mescalero Apache tribe. “I do think it’s a step in the right direction. It gives a way for tribes to really help legislators, and I would hope legislators are open to hearing what works for tribes and what doesn’t.”

Having watched the Gold King Mine spill last summer contaminate the land and water for hundreds of Diné people, Lorenzo says, sometimes the conversation seems to stems from a more philosophical core: “The water and the land are so sacred, and they can’t be replaced, so it’s hard for tribal communities and their government to work with federal or state agencies and even just ask the question, ‘Why did this happen in the first place? Why are we in the position of having to come back to the table to explain why this is wrong?’”

In a Sept. 13 memo to employees, Kelcy Warren, chairman of Energy Transfer Partners, which is building the pipeline, declared, first, pride in the project as a safer and more efficient alternative for moving crude oil than the trucks and rails used now.

Of the recent federal request to voluntarily halt construction, he added, “We are committed to completing construction and safely operating the Dakota Access Pipeline within the confines of the law. … We intend to meet with officials in Washington to understand their position and reiterate our commitment to bring the Dakota Access Pipeline into operation.”

The statement also pointed out that much of the pipeline’s route through North Dakota runs adjacent to an existing natural gas pipeline, and that the area has already been “studied, surveyed, and constructed upon—at least twice before—over the past several decades,” and that still, archaeologists, environmental inspectors or trained staff are on-site during construction. He also called concerns about water contamination “unfounded.”

Wade is back in New Mexico for now, but he plans to return to North Dakota as soon as he can.

“The construction company is still working, just on the border of those 20-mile lines, so it’s up to us to stop it,” he says. “There was an action where two people locked themselves down to construction to stop construction today. These are every day battles that we’re fighting in order to stop this pipeline.”

If Every Drop Counts City proposes water efficiency ratings system that look to be first of a kind, but the ‘green building’ package isn’t all pretty

BY EL IZABE TH M I LLE R el i zab eth @ s fre p o r te r.co m

T

here’s no fence you can put up around the city and say, “No more people can live here.”

However, cities in the Southwest face the very real prospect of saying, “No more people can live on the water we have here.”

“Water is the true limit to growth in the Southwest,” says Kim Shanahan, executive officer of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association. “From the perspective of the home-building industry, it’s really about how we are going to sustain our limited water resources into the future, or homebuilding won’t exist in New Mexico and Arizona and California.”

That reality makes the introduction of a water efficiency rating in Santa Fe’s proposed update to its residential green building code among its more eyecatching revisions. In keeping with the city’s role as a vanguard for water conservation, Santa Fe looks to be the first jurisdiction in America to craft a water efficiency score that combines indoor and outdoor water use—and as we learn each year in our top 10 water users story, often outdoor use is responsible for the bulk of consumption. If the ordinance passes City Council in October, homebuilders would be required to get a water efficiency rating score of 70, or 30 percent better than the water consumption rate from using standard building code. That’s not a huge savings over current water consumption rates, says Katherine Mortimer, supervising planner with the city’s land use department, but once it’s clear the system works, councilors can set more stringent standards. The same goes for translating this code from single-family residences to commercial and multi-family development.

Other elements of the proposed revisions have raised some questions. Councilor Chris Rivera, reviewing it as part of Public Works Committee, abstained from voting over questions on the fiscal impact report. All other councilors on the committee voted to approve, and it likewise unanimously passed the Sustainable Santa Fe Commission.

These code revisions are expected to minimally affect on the cost of building a home in Santa Fe; their impact on carbon emissions and water consumption is similarly minimal, but just having the conversation is still a rarity.

“Across the country, you do not see this level of intentional thought on green building regulation in many jurisdictions, so a city that is trying to take this on is already a city ahead of the pack,” says Jeremy Sigmon, US Green Building Council’s director of technical policy.

After 25 years of encouraging “beyond code leadership” on an often voluntary basis for sustainable builders, he says, “There are large and looming local, regional and global environmental and health challenges that buildings can address, and we do need some sort of government fix to be able to square up

the opportunity that green building presents with the risk of not doing it correctly.”

The Santa Fe proposal ratchets down the existing required home energy rating system (HERS) index of 70 to 65 starting next year, then to 60 on Jan. 1, 2018.

On average today, homes here score 61. Though the memo ties a possible $5,000 cost to this reduction, Shanahan disagrees with that analysis: “If the average is a 61, and we’re going from a 70 to a 65, the average will not be impacted at all.”

Mortimer agrees that $5,000 is a “worst case scenario” and points out that residents will recoup savings throughout the life of the home as efficiencies in water and electricity pay themselves back when prices for those utilities rise.

The citywide average is helped by construction from Homewise and Habitat for Humanity, Shanahan says. Homes built by those agencies often score in the 50s or even high 40s (the city doesn’t have this analysis available). Larger homes struggle to reach a 70 score. With this update, homes over 3,000 square feet would need to score even lower than the new goal on HERS, by one point per 100 square feet.

“So now we’re coming back and requesting that, should this plan move forward, we need to be realistic about how we’re going to implement the program,” she said. “We are really watching closely the permits coming in and starting to feel like we’re going to have a real crunch on our hands.”

With much of the development coming in the form of model homes, the city will only need to approve the handful of prototypes for and then rubberstamp any permits for that model, Shanahan says. He questions the need for a new position and worries the listed $5,000 and staffing needs could “scuttle the whole process.”

“I would hate to see the city, because of a financial impact report, say we simply can’t afford to do this because we can’t afford to hire more personnel in a time of strain,” he says.

Big picture analysis on how far off-track the city is on its goal of building net zero homes by 2030 and what this effort might do to get back on the rails also hasn’t yet been completed.

There are large and looming local, regional and global environmental and health challenges that buildings can address.

Dropping by five points—though it varies widely from home to home—could be achieved by relatively inexpensive measures such as purchasing a more energy-efficient furnace, using all LED light bulbs, or removing one picture window. For some of those larger homes, yes, it could require the expense of installing solar panels to offset that northeastern-facing bank of picture windows.

In general, the revisions streamline the process by setting one performance-based goal, rather than providing a 33-page checklist of prescriptions. But the revisions increase demands on staff, the city says, to the tune of at least one more full-time employee and expected costs of $123,514 per year, including salary, benefits and equipment like a city-owned vehicle.

When the city decided to hold any current openings vacant through the fiscal year to balance the budget, they eliminated the position planned to take over these tasks, Lisa Martinez, land use director, said during the Public Works committee meeting.

Dr. Gabriela Gonzalez

The Los Alamos National Laboratory, University of New Mexico, St. John’s College, and Santa Fe Community College have partnered to host Dr. Gabriela Gonzalez of Louisiana State University and spokesperson of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. We are honored to have Dr. Gonzalez present at LIGO’s groundbreaking detection of gravitational waves to the local community. The event will be held on September 19th, 2016 in the Grand Ballroom at the Eldorado Hotel. Doors open at 7:00pm and the talk will begin at 7:30pm.

For the first time, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, arriving at the earth from a cataclysmic event in the distant universe. This confirms a major prediction of Albert Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity and opens an unprecedented new window onto the cosmos.

At first glance, the mass shootings that have been very much in the news may seem to be the work of so-called “Alpha Males” who are asserting their dominance over the rest of us. An examination of the data on violence through the lens of evolutionary psychology suggests that the exact opposite is true. It is men on the margins, lacking in status and respect, who are most often the perpetrators of such acts, and it is no mystery why the media often describes mass shooters and terrorists as misfits or loners: in many cases, they are. This lecture will explore the issue of why it is usually men who engage in acts of extreme violence, and why it is almost always young men who do so. A case will be made that the roots of male violence can be found in our evolutionary past, and that a lack of attention from others leads to a lack of status, resulting in a lack of access to women. Combined with a young man’s testosterone and easy access to guns, it creates a toxic, combustible mix. There will be a response from a local Jungian analyst relating this evolutionary psychology approach to Jung’s psychology.

Workshop: Masculinity, Competition, and Violence Saturday, September 17th

Through the lens of evolutionary psychology, the speaker will follow up on Friday’s lecture with an examination of how the violent tendencies of young males interact with other aspects of masculinity such as competitiveness and the drive for status. The implications of masculinity will be explored for how societies conduct business, manage politics, and go to war. Particular attention will be given to “How to Make an Alpha Male, Do We Want Them as Leaders, and When Are They Just Bullies,” “Cultures of Honor,” “Psychology of War,” “The Role of Personality in Male Dominance Behavior,” and “Can Troublesome Masculine Tendencies Be Harnessed for Good.” Lecture, video, response from a local Jungian analyst, and discussion-based activities will be included. We look forward to an exciting exchange of ideas among attendees with diverse points of view.

Secede from Santa Fe! County officials on both sides of the line want Española on their map, but Rio Arriba is suing to take control

tion, meaning the commission had no obligation to publish notice. According to New Mexico law, residents who wish to secede from one county to another must first show that the change will make it “more convenient for the residents of any portion of a county to travel to the county seat of some other contiguous county.” The City of Santa Fe, the administrative center for the county, sits about 25 miles from Española.

spañola is a city in two places. Its southeastern tip comprises the northernmost section of Santa Fe County, while the rest of Española rests in Rio Arriba. So, depending on what side of a jagged county line city residents live on, they may be subject to different tax rates, minimum wage laws and criminal codes.

That’s why some people who live in Española on the Santa Fe side have attempted to become residents of Rio Arriba County, where property and gross receipt taxes are lower.

Rio Arriba’s government, which rio arriba annex supports the effort, also stands to benefit from annexing the territory. Officials estimate that taxing the area in question, which includes about 70 businesses, could bring the county an additional $1 million of annual revenue.

But after holding an executive session, Santa Fe’s five-member County Commission rejected the proposal 4-1 on grounds that it is “legally defective.”

Rio Arriba County’s three commissioners and a group called Citizens for Accessible and Representative Government last month sued the officials who Would you work with a made that decision, claiming that Santa Fe County hastily rejected the annexation petition without pubneighbor while they are hurling lishing adequate notice in a newspaper as required by state law. They also argue that the closed-door discusinsults and untruths at you? sion should have been public.

Martinez believes the county’s decision to reject his petition falls in line with a pattern of ignoring Santa Fe County’s Española constituents. The lawsuit claims Santa Fe County Clerk Geraldine Salazar took To reach Tierra Amarilla, the rural county seat of Rio nearly 60 days to respond to Martinez’ first request to Arriba, residents must drive about 65 miles north.

But Martinez says he would be able to take care approve a proposed petition form.

“We feel they have been delaying this process,” of most business, from paying taxes to registering to Martinez tells SFR. “We have never had a voice in the vote, at the government annex building in Española Santa Fe County government. This is just another ex- two miles away from his house. Only jury duty or jail visits would require him to make the trip to Tierra ample.”

Santa Fe County maintains that Martinez and the Amarilla. Rio Arriba’s county commission, meanpetitioners failed to make the legal case for annexa- while, holds meetings in both towns.

Española

Santa Fe County also claims the lawsuit should be dismissed on procedural grounds. For example, county attorneys wrote in a court filing that the jurisdiction should have been the Steve Herrera Judicial Complex downtown, rather than a Tierra Amarilla court.

On Monday, Henry Roybal, the commissioner who represents the swath of Española in Santa Fe County, issued a statement suggesting Rio Arriba’s lawsuit could jeopardize future collaboration between the two counties.

“Would you work with a neighbor while they are hurling insults and untruths at you?” Roybal writes.

“The benefits of annexation to Santa Fe County residents within Española are far from clear anyway.”

Rio Arriba officials note that Santa Fe County residents already use services located in the northern jurisdiction, including Presbyterian Española Hospital and behavioral health and substance abuse treatment centers. Meanwhile, they point to examples where Santa Fe County could do more.

For example, the Santa Fe County Commission last year dropped a proposal to help fund a 911 dispatch center that serves residents throughout the northern region.

Roybal notes that the commission pulled the funding only after Española sued Santa Fe County over a gross receipts tax increase that businesses on the southern side of the county line says puts them at a competitive disadvantage. (In conjunction with the City of Santa Fe, Santa Fe County runs a dispatch center near the county jail south of the city but it only serves the territory outside Española city limits.)

According to a 2014 analysis by Chris Madrid, economic development director for Rio Arriba County, about a third of all residents’ retail purchases happen outside the community, adding up to about $170 million in economic activity and $13 million in gross receipt tax.

Should the annexation proposal succeed, an estimated $200,000 of added revenue would go to the Española hospital, according to Madrid. He says Rio Arriba County wants to invest any additional money on public safety, roads and senior care in the area.

Ralph Sanchez, a retired welder who lives on the northern side of the county line, says Española has more in common, culturally, with Rio Arriba County than it does Santa Fe. “Rio Arriba should be Rio Arriba, man! Santa Fe is totally different,” he says.

But Evon Garcia, a manager at Central Market, which is directly south of the border, says, “They should leave it the way it is.” She added, “Rio Arriba is not very competent.”

Andrew Lujan, the owner and sole employee of Top Notch Barbershop, a business on the Santa Fe side of Española, agrees. “I feel that it’s more fair to pay Santa Fe wages,” he says. Santa Fe County recently increased its minimum wage to $10.66. When SFR mentioned taxes are lower on the other side of the county line, Lujan responded, “I’ve never thought about it like that, but it doesn’t really bother me. I was brought up in Santa Fe County and I opened a business in Santa Fe County.”

f you listen to either candidate for New Mexico’s secretary of state speak with her supporters, you might get the impression that the race for our statewide chief election official is a referendum on so-called voter ID laws.

Republican Nora Espinoza, a state representative from Roswell, and Democrat Maggie Toulouse Oliver, the Bernalillo County Clerk, have traded barbs on campaign finance, missing forums and their relative experience or inexperience. Both parties have filed ethics complaints against the opposing party’s candidate, though neither succeeded.

But during fundraisers, the issue du jour remains whether voters should be required to present photo identification before casting a ballot.

Republicans frame it as a matter of electoral integrity. They say requiring citizens to present identification at precinct stations prevents voter impersonation. And their messaging has been successful.

(Fifteen states have passed photo ID requirements in recent years. Meanwhile, about 80 percent of Americans support voter ID laws, according to a 2016 Gallup poll.)

Democrats and voting rights advocates, meanwhile, point to research that shows cases of voter impersonation—the crime these laws are designed to prevent—are so rare as to be practically non-existent. One study published by the Washington Post counted 31 credible cases of voter fraud out of more than a billion votes cast from 2000 to 2014.

Critics say the laws are blatant attempts to suppress votes from minority, poor and elderly voters,

VOTER ID DOMINATES THE RACE FOR NEW MEXICO’S CHIEF ELECTION OFFICIAL

who are less likely to possess photo identification, and more likely to encounter barriers towards obtaining it, including time and access to transportation. A federal appeals court in North Carolina this summer struck down that state’s voter ID law on grounds that the provisions “target African Americans with almost surgical precision.”

Although voter ID would ultimately require approval from the New Mexico Legislature, the secretary of state’s office wields considerable power to write a narrative that could help or hurt public support for the policy. New Mexico’s last elected secretary of state, Republican Dianna Duran, made national headlines in 2011 when she suggested during a legislative hearing that 37 foreign nationals voted in the previous year’s general election. Her claim set off a protracted legal battle, the fallout from which Duran’s appointed successor, Brad Winter, is still grappling with today.

The American Civil Liberties Union requested to see documentation to prove her claim. When Duran’s office refused, the ACLU filed a request under the state’s public records law. Duran eventually turned over motor vehicle documents that did not show any evidence of voter fraud. (The issue of voter ID also took center stage during Duran’s 2014 run for re-election, when Toulouse Oliver narrowly lost her first bid for secretary of state.)

New Mexicans typically vote for their chief election official every four years, but scandal has ruptured the standard electoral timeline.

The first Republican to hold the seat since the stock market crash of 1929, Duran stepped down

the same day she pleaded guilty to embezzlement and campaign finance violations last fall. Winter, a Republican appointee from Albuquerque, replaced her. He’ll officiate the Nov. 8 general election, which includes a special race to determine the successor to serve out the rest of Duran’s term through 2018.

Secretary of state is this year’s banner race. No other statewide candidates face challenges this cycle except for a Supreme Court justice in a partisan retention battle. Not governor, lieutenant governor nor attorney general. Voters won’t be picking candidates for either of New Mexico’s US Senate seats either. (All three seats for the US House are in contention, but none hotly.) For many New Mexicans, the candidates for secretary of state will appear inches below the names Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. As Lonna Atkeson, a political scientist at the University of New Mexico, put it to SFR, “There are no other interesting races on the ballot.”

High billing means heavy coffers. Secretary of state has been this cycle’s most expensive race.

Combined, the two candidates have raised more than $700,000. Espinoza has brought in about $267,000, according to campaign finance reports filed Monday. Her most recent report shows significant cash from donors in the ranching and oil and gas industry, including Petroleum Yates Company.

Toulouse Oliver leads her opponent with just over $470,000, 33 percent more than she raised at this point in 2014. Some of her biggest donations came from the League of Conservation Voters, Emily’s List and the NEA Fund for Public Education.

We have great voter laws in the state.

On a Thursday evening, Espinoza mingled with prominent New Mexico Republicans at a Rio Rancho country club. Supporters gnawed through chicken wings on a patio with stunning views of the Sandias.

The roster of attendees evoked a local party convention. Lieutenant Governor John Sanchez spoke.

So did Carla Sonntag, the president of the New Mexico Business Coalition. Justice Judith Nakamura, the governor’s appointee to the state Supreme Court who’s trying to fend off a retention challenge from a Democrat, recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

Candidates running for office, from seats on county commissions to the state senate, took turns introducing themselves at a podium back-dropped by a greenway (hole number nine) adorned with rows of miniature New Mexico state flags.

They gathered to support the guest of honor, Espinoza, a former schoolteacher and owner of a food business. Some offered words. Others gave cash. Ida Mitchell, a local opera singer decked in plastic Viking regalia, performed a political rendition of the Puccini aria, “O mio babbino caro.” (“Oh beloved

Nora / you’ve many years of your career / of dealing with children.”)

“Elections matter and elections have consequences. We need to make sure we have someone sitting in that office up in Santa Fe that is going to protect the ballot box,” said Lieutenant Gov. Sanchez. “And I know she’s going to lead the charge.”

As the sun began to set, Espinoza took to the podium. She spoke at length (about 10 minutes of her 17-minute speech) about the single issue that has defined her campaign.

“What is of true value?” she said. “To have a system that is honest and fair for all New Mexicans.

And what is, remember this, the ethical issue that my opponent is raising? The only ethical issue is voting fraud. They’re not addressing it and that is why we must pass voter ID.” Espinoza mentioned a salacious 2012 scandal in the border town of Sunland Park that involved allegations of solicitation, bribery and extortion. One former city councilor pled guilty to three charges of voter fraud for registering ineligible voters to help boost a mayoral candidate’s chances. (It’s unlikely that a photo ID law would have prevented those cases, as the illegally registered voters submitted absentee ballots.) Espinoza also brought up the case of her colleague, Rep. Idalia Lechuga-Tena (DBernalillo), who admitted to voting in 2003 before she became an American citizen.

“You have heard me say it and I will say it again.

I’m Hispanic and to tell me that I don’t have the ability to get an ID because I’m a minority or Hispanic?” Espinoza told the crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen, we should be upset because that is an insult to New Mexicans. It really is.”

Earlier in the campaign season, she went even further than she did at her fundraiser. Addressing supporters of presidential candidate Donald Trump at a rally for his running mate Mike Pence, Espinoza suggested that Democrats have a “plan” to “drive or carry everyone they can find to the polls and have them vote regardless of eligibility.”

Trump has repeatedly claimed the election will be rigged in favor of Democrats, suggesting fraud will be rampant in states without voter ID policies. “We may have people vote 10 times,” he told the Washington Post.

She also highlighted her opponent’s support of policies that automatically register driver’s license holders to vote, which Espinoza claims would lead to 100,000 non-citizens eligible to participate in elections. (Toulouse Oliver disputes this claim, saying existing DMV checks would prevent that.)

Like Duran before her, Espinoza did not respond to phone calls or emails from SFR requesting an interview about her candidacy. When we attempted to confirm the time of the fundraiser that day, an organizer said it would likely be called off. Espinoza granted us 10 minutes to chat with her at the event before someone whisked her away to speak with donors. (She did not return a follow-up phone call.)

After Espinoza finished her Rio Rancho speech, SFR approached the candidate and asked her to comment on studies showing that voter fraud is rare and that some people have a harder time obtaining government-issued identification.

Espinoza disagreed with the suggestion. She offered a comparison to the application process

for government-sponsored benefits programs. “How do they get their checks?” she said. “Those that live off government subsidies, they have to have identification as being citizens of this state, you know, of being an American citizen. To receive that check, they have to fill out documents.

If they’re able to do that, and they have a bank account and they’re able to give that information. Why are we saying those things, they can do, and yet we cannot protect their vote? It doesn’t make sense.”

Contrary to that assertion, while New Mexico requires people to provide identification when applying for state benefits, Human Services Department accepts an array of documents that do not necessarily include a photo ID. In addition to a driver’s license, the state will accept birth certificates, school or church records, insurance cards, wage stubs or letters from community resources, among other forms of identification.

In August, Toulouse Oliver stepped in front of a crowd of donors at a fundraiser held at the Meow Wolf art exhibition in Santa Fe, where she was set to moderate a “Conversation on Voting Rights and Civic Engagement.”

Mayor Javier Gonzales, a former head of the state Democratic Party, lounged on a sofa to her left, along with Zackary Quintero, the president of Young Democrats for New Mexico, and Annie Weinberg, the electoral director of Democracy for America, a national organization that props up progressive candidates.

Other prominent area Democrats, including County Commissioner Liz Stefanics, who is running for state senate, and Marco Serna, a candidate running to be the head prosecutor for the First Judicial District, sat in the audience.

Toulouse Oliver introduced herself as county clerk from “your neighbor to the south,” and said that she has dedicated her nine-year tenure to “expanding access to the ballot box.”

She described her educational background, mentioning a master’s degree in political science from the University of New Mexico, which endowed her with “a little bit” of knowledge about the “founding of our amazing democracy.” When America declared independence from Britain, she noted, its citizens suddenly held tremendous power to govern their new nation.

“Of course there were a lot of debates about exactly which people should be vested with that power,” Toulouse Oliver said. “And those de-

bates that happened at our founding have continued throughout the course of our nation’s history.”

She traced the evolution of American voting rights: In the beginning, only white, male landowners could participate in elections. After the Civil War, African American men were enfranchised. And another 50 years later, women gained the right to vote. But rights don’t equal access, Toulouse Oliver noted. States still found ways to block certain populations from elections, via poll taxes, literacy tests and other mechanisms, until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 ostensibly put those practices to an end.

“Where we are today, things look different. And they taste different. And they smell different,” Toulouse Oliver said, adding that efforts to suppress the vote these days take on subtler forms, like rolling back early voting days and imposing photo ID requirements.

SFR caught back up with Toulouse Oliver a week after the Meow Wolf event. She had just wrapped up a campaign tour in the southwest part of the state. We headed to the Bernalillo County Bureau of Elections’ expansive warehouse, not far from Albuquerque’s downtown plaza, where dozens of volunteers were undergoing the requisite training to register people to vote.

“We have great voter laws in the state,” she told SFR, mentioning convenience centers and the absence of voter ID restrictions. “Even though we’ve had photo ID bills drop before the Legislature and other potentially restrictive legislation, the Legislature has rejected that kind of legislation over and over again.”

Toulouse Oliver had been thinking about a story published over Labor Day weekend by The Santa Fe New Mexican that raised questions about the level of disclosure in both candidates’ campaign finance reports. She had come out hard a few weeks earlier to point out dramatic gaps in the system maintained by the secretary of state to date.

The journalist, Andrew Oxford, noted that certain donors, including lobbyists, company heads and government officials, hid behind vague occupation titles, like “consultant” or “business person.” Hundreds more contributors didn’t list any occupation at all. (Only donors who give more than $150 are required to.)

Sitting in an empty conference room, Toulouse Oliver acknowledged the ambiguity in some of her reports and said she’ll instruct her staff to follow up with donors that give imprecise

information in the future. (She says Monday’s deadline was too late, but will make sure to add that information for the three remaining reporting deadlines.)

Toulouse Oliver also suggested a potential solution to avoid this problem in the future: Add another field to campaign reporting forms that would require contributors to not only list their occupation, but the “nature” of their work as well.

That’s just one of many changes a secretary of state could implement to improve transparency in the political process, she says, especially in the digital storage of the information. SFR pulled up the state elections website on a laptop and asked her to show us around.

She typed “Barrett Toan,” the name of a Santa Febased former health care executive, into the site’s contributor database. Half a dozen listings popped up, with donations upwards of $100,000.

Most listed just Toan’s name. Others listed him and his wife, Paula O’Brien. Toulouse Oliver tapped in O’Brien’s name, which turned up another three listings, and then pointed to the bottom of the screen.

“Maybe down here, there should be a listing for ‘related records.’ For people that have the same employer, people that have the same address,” Toulouse Oliver said.

Next, Toulouse Oliver typed her own name into the site, and noticed a glaring omission.

“Where are my 2008 reports?” she asked, referring to donations she received when running for county clerk. “There are a lot of archives missing.”

In this bitter race, both candidates have lobbed predictable attacks over their opponent’s background in public service.

Tolouse Oliver paints Espinoza as an unprincipled opportunist without relevant experience.

“It’s almost like she just woke up one morning and thought, Oh! I’ll run for secretary of state,” Toulouse Oliver said. She notes that in nearly 10 years of legislating, Espinoza never once sponsored a bill related

to the election process, until the day she made her candidacy official, when her name appeared atop photo ID legislation.

What Espinoza became known for championing in the statehouse, in addition to her love of large hats, however, are conservative causes including a “religious liberty” bill that would allow business owners to discriminate against LGBT people.

Espinoza, for her part, maintains that her legislative history is irrelevant to the office she seeks. “This is an administrative position, and all these newspapers and all these other reporters, they want to go back and—do they not get it?” she said at the Rio Rancho fundraiser. “I’m not running for state representative! I don’t know what their problem is.”

The Republican has attacked Toulouse Oliver for an instance in 2012, when 152 absentee ballots in Bernalillo County did not initially get counted. (They were discovered after the election and sent to the secretary of state’s office before results were certified.)

Espinoza has also hit Toulouse Oliver for a donation made between political action committees (PACs) when the Democrat ran against Duran in 2014. PACS are allowed to support, but are forbidden from directly coordinating with, candidates. An ethics complaint filed earlier this year pointed to a $10,000 donation from one PAC, Verde Voters, to another, SOS for Democracy, that supported Toulouse Oliver. That donation exceeds the limit and should have been reported, Espinoza says. (Toulouse Oliver’s campaign has called the complaint baseless on grounds that it did not directly coordinate with the PAC.) No matter who wins in November, both candidates will be ending long tenures in their respective offices.

Although Espinoza spent the majority of her speech in Rio Rancho on the topic of voter ID, she concluded with a more blatant appeal toward her fellow Republicans, invoking the virtue of sacrifice. Having won her state representative seat with 78 percent of the vote, then rising to chair of the House Education Committee, why would Espinoza give up all she has earned to run for an “administrative” position?

Espinoza said numerous prominent Republicans, including US Rep. Steve Pearce, New Mexico’s only GOP member in Congress, encouraged her to run for Secretary of State. “Everyone said, ‘Nora, we need you to run.’ I could sit there and stay as state representative, and I love being state representative. … But right now, I realized how important it was and I stepped out because I know how important this office is.”

Back at the elections warehouse, Toulouse Oliver wandered between rows of nondescript black boxes that idle for most of their existence, coming out once or twice a year to play a starring role in the democratic process.

“I’m getting nostalgic and I’m getting sad,” says Toulouse Oliver, who has overseen at least 10 elections since beginning her job in 2007. This November’s will be her last hurrah in Bernalillo County. “I’ve spent a lot of hours in this place.”

After forums planned by the League of Women voters did not take place because Espinoza refused to participate, both candidates are scheduled to debate at 10 am on Oct. 16 at Congregation Albert (3800 Louisiana Blvd. NE, Albuquerque).

I stepped out because I know how important this office is.

Note: Thanks to New Mexico Political Report, which shared a recording of Espinoza at the Pence rally.

festival road map In the early days of the After Hours Alliance (AHA), the collective of artists, promoters, musicians and all-around do-gooders had a grand vision that was, at the time, hard to realize. Flash-forward to today, and the annual AHA Festival of Progressive Arts (which begins its sixth iteration this Friday) has grown into a three-day, multilocation arts and music powerhouse looked forward to by thousands. This year is a real doozy, too, with dozens of performances, major installations and, perhaps most importantly, a keen eye for inclusivity across Santa Fe. (Alex De Vore)

DAY 1: XIXA with Thieves & Gypsys The opening event operates in conjunction with music blog meccalecca.com (operated by writer Jonny Leather, who contributed to our annual music issue this year) and takes over the former Undisputed Fitness location inside the Solana Center (915 W Alameda St.). Local indie-rock trio Thieves & Gypsys opens the night with their brand of Strokes-esque rock, and one of the most exciting bands to come through Santa Fe this year closes out the night. Tucson’s XIXA pays homage to the rich world of psychedelic Mexican garage rock bands

with their desert rock/Latin cumbia fusion.

XIXA culls heavily from their shared culture and heritage and reaches across generational and genre lines for a style all at once familiar and engrossing yet innovative and challenging. I’m reminded of the quieter songs of At the Drive In or lesser-known punk acts such as Los Saicos, with a ’60s-ish Donovan feel and tonally fascinating guitar work. XIXA’s pedigree includes members who’ve worked with Calexico, Giant Sand and Bob Dylan, so this is exactly the kind of band AHA should be courting and bringing to town. Well done.

SATURDAY: Sept. 17, 4-10 pm, suggested donation “It’s like an interactive, living Tarot deck with 13 doors; choose a door, choose your fortune,” photographer/co-creator of the gargantuan “Wheel of Fortune” installation, Anne Staveley, tells SFR. “It represents the 22 arcana of the Tarot, the archetypes of being a human being … It really feels alive.” Staveley co-created the “Wheel of Fortune” with photographer and former Santa Fean Jill Sutherland for Burning Man, and Saturday’s Art of the Machine will be its first deployment in Santa Fe. “We get such a diverse range of reaction,” says Sutherland. “We’ve seen people laugh, cry, freak out and fall in love; it’s been a risk and a gamble, but anytime we go out there and take that risk, there has been great reward.”

MUSIC DAY #1

Alameda ST.

FRIDAY: Sept. 16, 8:30 pm, $10-$12 “In bridging the gap between the dry haunt of psychedelic desert rock and the vibrant rhythms of cumbia, XIXA may have the quintessential southwestern sound,” meccalecca.com blogger Jonny Leather says.

Leather served on the musical selection panel for this year’s event and, he says, XIXA was his first choice for the kickoff night headliner. “I felt like they would be a great fit with AHA’s goal of linking other small music scenes to Santa Fe’s,” he says. “The challenge is convincing people that these under-the-radar bands are worth their time, and while the concept of psychedelic cumbia is a great selling point, namedropping members’ affiliations with Calexico and Giant Sand definitely grabs people’s attention.”

DAY #3

SUNDAY: Sept. 18, 1-8 pm, free “I’m excited for Mandy Messina, who is this South African artist living in Oklahoma who is doing this incredible project on identification where she will print these ID cards from different realties. [It’s] almost like, ‘What if we weren’t colonized, how would we identify?’” AHA’s visual arts director Ginger Dunnill says. “Or there’s this artist Hernan Gomez who does these steel sculptures that are, like, impressions of power lines; he never really felt aligned with the arts in Santa Fe … I really think that AHA is something incredibly unique for Santa Fe and it allows artists to show their work without being stuffed into a box.”

Railyard

d Roa s o ill r r Ce DAY 2: The Art of the Machine AHA shifts its location to the parking lot of the former Club Alegria (2797 Agua Fria St.) and its focus to the visual arts with two massive sculptures, an arts truck from local creator SCUBA, a performance from circus/acrobatic troupe Wise Fool and more. Artist Christian Ristow’s impressive mechanical bird sculpture, “Fledgling,” will be there and allows a single user to operate its pedals, which make its wings move. Artists Anne Staveley and Jill Sutherland’s “Wheel of Fortune” makes its Santa Fe debut as well. A massive circle of steel and doors based on the Tarot, there’s no telling what will be revealed behind each entrance, but even if you aren’t a

hippie, you’ll discover your fortune. Given its size and its utilization of performers, it’ll probably be something pretty breathtaking, too. DJ Raashan Ahmand provides the dance jams and there will be food trucks aplenty.

DAY 3: Progressive Arts Fair This is the big one, folks. The day that AHA brings the most to the table. The entire Railyard Plaza becomes a living, breathing arts explosion with well over two dozen artist booths, performance arts galore, two stages crammed with local and touring musicians and much more.

Local post-rockers Future Scars perform alongside High Mayhem’s bizarre cello-

heavy act, The Uninvited Guest and synthpop genius Flamingo Pink, whose Ghosts in the Ground was named one of SFR’s albums of the year this year. Washington DC pop/soul vocalist Be Steadwell is slated to play as well as Denver synth-rock trio Rubedo, future-jazz soloist Angelo Harmsworth and many others. Oh, and it’s free. When stacked against other similar Santa Fe events, AHA is practically untouchable, one of the few creations that seems to cater not just to the elderly or to children, but to those who have so often felt underserved in this community. This is the grand vision dreamed up those six years ago, so be there to support—it’s a no-brainer.

ILLUSTR ATI O N S + STORY BY A MY DAV I S

few years ago I was watching a crappy movie-of-theweek with Sienna Miller playing some Hitchcock blonde, and right then and there I decided to go all glowy-snowy. I had really long silver and chestnut tresses, but that was that and I was ready to transform into a flaxen minx. The next day I was platinum and loving it! I kept it for three years and worked it as a sleek bowl cut, as a sweet Marilyn, as a salty mermaid and finally, as a fried old stripper—I regret not a moment.

What I do regret, however, was having a Pandora’s Box-era Louise Brooks bob, caterpillar-thick eyebrows and candy-apple-red lips for about six years back in the ’80s. I was a Xerox of myself on repeat for years, slowly degenerating, because that’s what happens; a mild form of insanity … ok, maybe not so mild.

How long have you been wearing that same, safe uniform, the same maquillage, the same beard and ’stache, the same trucker hat? You know, the shapeless, albeit comfy, tee with the unflattering crew neck? Matte, nude lips? Same haircut? For 20 years?! Oh, fudgesicle! I judge thee not, for I had square hair.

Literally.

Thoughtlessness can catch up with you and then blammo—you’re 50 and wearing the same oxblood Docs and Ramones tee you wore at 18.

Don’t be a fuddy-duddy; keep playing! But perhaps just change it up. How about a Southern gentleman look á la worn, crinkled linen suit avec a wilting gar-

denia? Seersucker ain’t just for suckers! Dames, how about some Parisian balloon pants and a chic-as-heck houndstooth bolero?

We rent our bodies, yo, why not gut ’em and paint the walls? Make some cool curtains?

Unless it’s an “Eat Shit & Die” tattoo on your nose (even that would garner a chuckle from me), it really doesn’t matter in the big scheme of life.

Every day we get carte blanche to scribble-scrabble up the tabula rasa of ourselves and morph into any fantasy we want.

Yes, even you with the suit and the 9-to-5 job: Try a bow tie! Try a jaunty cap! Why not? Feed your vogue marrow with a chartreuse dickie. Really.

Dickies need to come back!

Being a superstar in your mind takes practice, style, reinvention and flexibility!

Try balls-to-the-wall variety, and DO NOT conform to your humdrum uniform.

An easy breezy way to transition from robot or art-bot is with a quickie hair and or make-up switcheroo.

We of the fairer sex have a fantastic local brand of truly organic makeup from Taos called Vapour.

I swoon for Vapour’s Aura Multi-Use stick in Whisper, and cream up the apples of my cheeks when I want an effortless glow. It shimmers and shines and makes one feel just divine.

From juicy, cherry pink lips to smoldering Bette Davis eyes, Vapour has you covered. Grab some at Cupcake (322 Montezuma Ave., 988-4744) and prepare to transform.

THE CALENDAR

I’m a woman who watches porn—we do exist— and I have a mad crush on a male porn star named Small Hands. Unfortunately, his videos focus less on his handsome face and more on some girl’s ass. Do! Not! Want! Is there a way to ask a porn star to please make a few movies in a certain way? I would like to see some movies that feature less of her and more of him!

-Salivating About Male Performer’s Lovely Exterior “I work with anyone I get hired to work with. I don’t have just one costar,” said Small Hands, porn star, filmmaker, and composer. But the ass you’re referring to, SAMPLE, the ass Small Hands has been seen with most, is the one that belongs to his fiancée, Joanna Angel, the porn star/director/producer who pioneered the “altporn” genre.

“I got into porn because I started dating her,” Small Hands told me after I read him your question. “I’ve been performing for three years, and my GF has been in the game for 12 years. She really put alt-porn on the map—she was the first girl with tattoos to appear on the cover of Hustler magazine.” (Please note: “Altporn” has nothing to do with “alt-right.” The alt-right is about racism, anti-Semitism, and orange fascists—and alt-porn is about tattoos, piercings, and sexy fuckers.)

Regardless of whose ass it is, SAMPLE, you want to see less girl ass and more Small Hands face. Could he make that happen for you?

“Plenty of performers have clips-for-sale stores on their websites, and some make custom video clips for fans,” Small Hands said.

“But I can’t provide special clips for this fan—as much as I would love to—because running our company and editing the films and composing music for them doesn’t leave us much time for anything else.”

If you want to watch porn that focuses more on guys, Small Hands recommends “porn for women” or “porn for couples.”

“I strongly dislike these terms,” said Small Hands, “as I feel they are outdated, sexist, and stereotypical. No one—man or woman—should tell a woman which kind of porn is for her and which kind isn’t. Any pornographic film that a woman finds arousing or entertaining is ‘porn for women.’ But these films do tend to give the guys a little more screen time. Also, there’s always gay porn, which focuses 100 percent on men, so no worry about seeing a lady butt in those movies.”

While we’re on the subject of porn: If you look at Small Hands’ Twitter account—or the Twitter account of any porn performer working today—you’ll notice that most have “NO ON 60” as their avatar. Proposition 60 is a ballot measure in California that is ostensibly about protecting porn performers by requiring them to use condoms and mandates penalties for companies and performers that don’t.

“It’s really meant to drive the porn industry out of California under the guise of performer safety,” said Small Hands. “Among the other problems with this thing is that it could make performers’ private information public. So it’s not really about our safety at all.”

The San Francisco Chronicle urged its readers to vote no on 60 in an editorial published recently “The initiative, however well intended, does not fully reflect the realities of the industry,” the editors wrote, citing industry-standard STI screenings, the growing number of people who self-produce porn, and the emergence of drugs regimens (PrEP) that provide more protection against HIV infection than condoms. But the biggest problem with Proposition 60 is how it could endanger porn performers.

“The measure gives private parties the right to sue a porn producer if state health officials don’t take action, a proviso that invites legal bounty hunting,” the SF Chronicle continues.

26

SEPTEMBER 1 4-20, 2016

•

“Also performers, who often use screen names, could have their identities and addresses made public, a feature that invades privacy and could lead to harm from porn-addled stalkers.”

If you’re a reader who lives in California, please vote no on 60. If you’re a reader who doesn’t live in California, please encourage your friends and relatives living in California to vote no on 60. And if you’re an editor at the SF Chronicle, please retire the term “porn-addled stalkers.” (While some porn stars have indeed been stalked, porn doesn’t cause an otherwise healthy, non-abusive, and sane person to become a stalker.)

Before I let Small Hands get off the phone, I had to ask him about his nom de porn. How did “Small Hands” become his porn name?

“I have tiny hands for a grown-ass man,” said Small Hands, “and Joanna makes fun of me for it. I wrote it down on the forms when I made my first films. It’s kind of a dumb name, but you won’t forget it.”

Any advice for any, say, orange fascists out there who might be insecure about having tiny hands?

“Never be ashamed about having smallerthan-average hands,” said Small Hands. “He should own it. And perspective is your friend, Donald. Put those tiny hands down next to your dick, and your dick is going to look bigger!”

A woman I follow on Instagram—whose account is open for all to follow—shares highly sexualized images of herself daily, e.g., pictures of her at the beach, pictures of her when she’s just waking up, pictures of her in a towel after a shower. Via direct message, I politely inquired about purchasing a pair of her used panties.

She sent me a very rude note in response and then blocked me. I find this hypocritical, considering the highly sexualized nature of the photos she posts. She reads your column, something I know because she posted a photo of one, and I am writing to you in hopes that you will scold this woman for being so hypocritically prudish and also ask her to unblock me.

-Personally Hurt Over This Occurrence She may be a reader, PHOTO, but you’re clearly not. Because I’m on her side, not yours, which any regular reader could have predicted. Someone sharing photos of themselves at the beach, in bed, out of the shower, etc., doesn’t entitle you to their panties any more than someone sharing photos from their colonoscopy entitles you to their turds. There’s no shortage of women online selling their panties, PHOTO, direct your inquires to them.

I think you got things wrong with CUCKS, the man whose husband got upset when he reacted with excitement when his husband shared a fantasy about sleeping with another man. I think CUCKS’s husband got upset because he only wanted more attention from his husband.

Maybe CUCKS’s husband fantasizes about cheating because he wants someone to want him intensely and he doesn’t feel his partner wants him intensely enough. Telling his partner about his fantasy may have just been an attempt to get his partner to show some emotional intensity.

-Tuesday Morning Advice Columning If you’re correct, TMAC, I would advise CUCKS to dump his husband—because who wants to be with someone who plays those kinds of mind games? A person who lies about having a particular fantasy and then shames or guilts their partner for having the wrong reaction isn’t a person worth sharing fantasies with, much less a life.

Poetry isn’t always easy to create or even to digest, but for 89-year old poet Victor di Suvero, writing the stuff isn’t optional so much as a weekly ritual. A lifelong fan of Dante Alighieri’s opus poem, The Divine Comedy, di Suvero has expressed himself over 14 collections and will release his newest poetic works, compiled under the title Once Again, this Saturday at The Lodge at Santa Fe (4 pm, free, 750 N St. Francis Drive, 316-3736). This new compilation finds di Suvero revisiting emotions from his years as a writer and, since we fully believe in the wisdom the comes from a lifetime of experience, we called him up to talk poetry and get some advice. (Alex De Vore) How did you get into the poetry game?

I started early on, when I was about 17 years old, when the government wouldn’t take me into the Army or the Air Corps because I was too young. The Merchant Marines did take me aboard, and the first poems I wrote were all on ships. I went to sea for five years. This was in 1942 to 1947, and all the first poems I wrote were about the sea. My very first collection was called Salt and the Heart’s Horizons.

Why did you specifically gravitate toward poetry as opposed to other forms of literature?

It’s a form where you could let your heart and feelings out and have it all on one page in a concise manner.

Do you have any advice for young or fledgling poets out there?

Yes I do. It is important to express your feelings. Do not be afraid to get your feelings out, because, generally speaking, whether it’s love or it’s daily life or hope, people seem to be afraid to express their feelings.

Everybody has feelings that they want to express; hope is the one feeling that I’ve always had and that I’ve always expressed.

Green Tomato

GWYNETH DOLAND

FOOD

INGREDIENTS: ·· 3 pounds green tomatoes ·· 6 cups sugar ·· 2 lemons, zested and juiced ·· 1 vanilla bean, seeds and pod (optional) ·· 2 tablespoons grated ginger (optional) ·· 2 cinnamon sticks (optional) DIRECTIONS: 1. Core and dice the tomatoes. In a large mixing bowl, toss the tomatoes with the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla, ginger or cinnamon. Let the mixture sit on the counter for a few hours.

Don’t let your unripe harvest go to waste!

2. In a big, heavy bottomed pot over low heat, cook the tomatoes until they’re translucent and the juice has reduced and thickened.

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

3. Fish out the vanilla bean if you used it. Then ladle the mixture into sterilized jars and process according to the recommendations for your altitude.

T

he weather is cooling down as we approach October, which brings the first frost and cooler temperatures that keep tomatoes from developing flavor and ripening to full loveliness. You already know you’re not supposed to put tomatoes in the refrigerator—so why would you leave them out in the garden when it’s as cold as the fridge?

It’s time to start thinking about what to do with all of the green tomatoes that aren’t going to make it outside.

GREEN TOMATO PIE INGREDIENTS: ·· 1 double pie crust ·· 1 cup sugar ·· 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ·· 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg ·· 3 tablespoons instant tapioca ·· 4 cups thinly sliced tomatoes (about 1 3/4 pounds) ·· 1 teaspoon lemon zest ·· 2 tablespoons lemon juice ·· 1/4 cup milk

RIPEN THEM INDOORS If you have a basement, insulated garage or other coolbut-not-cold space, rip the plants up by the roots and let the tomatoes continue to ripen on the withering vines. This is supposed to help preserve and develop flavor. I’m too lazy to do this even if I had a basement, but if you don’t mind the mess, what do you have to lose?

WRAP IT UP Another option is to take your green tomatoes and wrap them individually in newspaper and put them in a few layers in a milk crate or cardboard box. Put the box in that cool place or a closet or wherever you can stash them inside. If you nestle an apple in the box there it will help the tomatoes ripen. They’ll keep this way for weeks, sometimes months, and you’ll have miracle tomatoes long after your neighbors are eating Ragu. I’ve done this with great success. They don’t all ripen and they don’t all taste great but they’re still your awesome tomatoes, which are always going to be better than anything you can get at the store.

COUNTER PRODUCTIVE If you don’t have tons of green tomatoes you can also just leave them on the counter where you can see them. Most of them will eventually turn red. Just be patient.

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE If you grew slicing tomatoes and paste tomatoes, try to eat the slicing ones first. Brandywine tomatoes you pull out of your garage in November may not look pretty enough for a BLT but Romas will still make a killer sauce—even if you add green ones, too!

DIRECTIONS: 1. Prepare the pie crusts and chill the disks of dough for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

They’re not going to get ripe, people.

IT’S EASY BEING GREEN Green tomatoes have a remarkable ability to taste like almost anything else. Think about making a green gazpacho, putting red and green tomatoes in ratatouille, adding green tomatoes to your panzanella or any kind of salsa.

GREEN TOMATO JAM Makes 5 half-pints

If you haven’t canned before, check out the National Center for Home Food Preservation online for great advice, including adjustments for altitude. You’ll have to boil everything longer, and try not to kill people with botulism since it would put a real crimp in your canning future.

You can make this jam plain, just with the lemon, but it is improved with something a little sexier, like vanilla, ginger, cinnamon—and/or roasted, peeled and chopped green chile.

3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and tapioca.

4. Add the tomatoes, lemon zest and lemon juice and toss to combine.

5. Roll out one of the disks of dough until it’s a little less than 12 inches in diameter. Gently lift it into the pie plate.

6. Fill it with the tomato mixture.

7. Roll out the second disk and arrange it over the top of the pie, fold the edges of the top crust over the bottom, tuck them in and crimp them. Cut vent holes in the top crust.

8. Put the pie on a baking sheet that will catch any stray drips.

9. Brush the crust with milk and sprinkle with a little sugar (if desired).

10. Bake the pie 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 375 degrees and bake 30-40 minutes longer, until the crust is brown and the filling is bubbly.

11. Allow the pie to rest and cool before you slice it.

Try to pretend it’s not a weird green inside.

Snowden Review: One-Way Ticket to Moscow

BY JULIE ANN GRIMM editor@sfreporter.com

Oliver Stone doesn’t do short and sweet.

He does long and developed. Most of the time, he’s even really good at doing important, tense, conflicted moments in US history. If there’s a confusing saga that’s worth this kind of unweaving and reassembly, that of domestic surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden seems to qualify; Stone conveys its importance in a story that feels expertly dramatic.

By now, the furor surrounding Snowden’s remarkable 2013 actions has died down, and this biopic that hits

Oliver Stone taps into the world of the infamous whistleblower the highlights of his forever-changed life revives a tale that could fall into the virtual weeds of computer jargon. Instead, it grows into a furious flower under the storied director’s hand and with the solid foundation laid by an earlier award-winning documentary, Citizenfour, directed by Laura Poitras.

Stone is certainly sympathetic to his cause, sticking to the theme that Snowden has continued to preach: He leaked classified documents that revealed extensive data collection methods by the United States government so that the people of the nation could debate their use and consequences. Government officials say Snowden is far

SCORE CARD

nied print journalists who worked to break the story in the Guardian. It’s great that Leo’s Poitras has the unkempt look that you’d expect from a documentarian, yet she seems unnecessarily bedraggled. The real Poitras, a woman who has fearlessly produced a ton of work questioning other government policies, appears in recent photographs looking poised and clear and full of energy.

Nicolas Cage also drops in wearing a familiar character in what is perhaps one of the few stumbles from Stone. We love the close encounters with antique spy equipment, yet we wonder why Cage didn’t get better lines.

Today, Snowden remains in Moscow with his girlfriend Lindsay Mills, whose presence in the film from Shailene Woodley (Divergent), by the way, adds more humanity to Stone’s cyber sphere, if not particular depth. Just a step above being a man without a country, he’s safe there—for the time being—from extradition to the US where he might face long imprisonment.

In a way though, he’s already in prison. And if you’re reading this on your computer or smartphone, so are you.

from a hero, having committed treason on the modern battlefield, and their perspective clearly wears the black hat in Stone’s packed narrative.

Nevertheless, we already knew which side you’re on, Oliver (and not just because of the pre-film reminder to silence phones, in which you say the devices and our voluntary disclosure of digital information will “be our undoing”).

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s (Inception) depiction of boyish Snowden has audiences swooning for a loveable love story while cringing at the difficult decisions he makes. When the camera shifts in the final frames to the real Ed, the transition is seamless enough to reinforce how believable the effort came off.

Adding drama, and a bit of fiction, is Snowden’s close confidant and careerbuilding connection, Corbin O’Brian (Rhys Ifans from The Amazing SpiderMan), who appears from the beginning as a sort of Clint Eastwood-esque scary badass who could make you and all your kinfolk disappear. Modeled after Orwell’s Big Brother, he serves as the face of the community that rationalizes what Snowden’s character in the movie calls the US “running a dragnet on the whole world.”

Then, back to reality, prolific Melissa Leo (The Fighter) plays filmmaker Poitras, the eyes behind Citizenfour, released in 2014. Footage from Stone’s version closely mirrors the effect that Poitras produced when she accompa-

THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK - THE TOURING YEARS Practically everyone is familiar with the story of The Beatles and their rise from the basement venues of Liverpool and Hamburg to unprecedented crowds of screaming fans. For those who weren’t there, however, what is left is a mere idea of what Beatle-Mania was truly like and an intellectual understanding of the insanity sans experience. Director Ron Howard (In the Heart of the Sea) provides an in-depth look into those early years of the band from 1963 to 1966, as well as their impact on the globe in The Beatles: Eight Days a Week-The Touring Years, a new documentary opening at the Center for Contemporary Arts a full two days before hitting its intended home at hulu.com.

Through found footage, hundreds of photographs, television/radio coverage and decades of sound bites and interviews, Howard weaves together one of the most intimate portraits of the Fab Four’s younger days that we’ve ever seen, and it doles out the feels in both jubilant and heartbreaking fashion.

It’s a story that outwardly showcases society’s sick obsession with fame or being famous, but that also examines the psychological toll taken on Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr in a riveting

way. Certainly none of them were opposed to their fame at first, but as the years rolled by and the music creation began to play a secondary role to rabid curiosity and borderline psychotic fandom, we begin to understand why The Beatles eventually became studio hermits and ditched the live shows. Much of the real substance—or at least the consequence of fame—is saved for the final half hour, which is unfortunate despite the fun of watching four close friends take on the world. By the time we get to the famous Shea Stadium concert of ’66 (that’s the one that basically made ‘em quit), we can see exactly why they were burnt out, but Eight Days a Week doesn’t spend quite enough time focused on the actual impact their hectic existence had on their personal lives. It’s excellent to see how much they looked out for one another, and the soundtrack is obviously crammed with Beatles gold, but this one might not have major appeal to those who aren’t Beatle-maniacs or already know the tale.

Eight Days a Week’s Thursday opening will run $20 a pop and benefit the upcoming Santa Fe Independent Film Festival.

MORGAN

When a risk management consultant named Lee Weathers (House of Cards’

Kate Mara) is dispatched to a clandestine science facility in the woods at the behest of the shadowy company for which she works, we slowly learn that it’s not mankind’s place to play God. This is probably where you think something like, “Duh!” But still, it’s something that people in movies seem to have no choice but to learn again and again. At this facility, a bunch of scientists have created a hybrid AI/human for … science reasons, but it would seem the thing’s rapid growth and inability to actually feel emotions—though it can mimic them—make it confused and subsequently cause it to go haywire.

Even actors who have been in great films and turned in fantastic performances can’t save Morgan from itself, and we begin to wonder if Jennifer Jason Leigh, Michelle Yeoh, Toby Jones and Brian Cox were just trying to kill time between worthwhile projects or just needed a couple bucks or something.

Whatever their reason for signing on, they should be ashamed of themselves, as should writers Seth W Owen and director Luke Scott (IMDb them and wonder what the hell their credits are), who sidestep any sort of morality tale or examination of our fascination with technology for cheap … well, they aren’t exactly thrills, so much as they’re stupid moments by which to gauge CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Super-stardom can be a lonely place on a Saturday night, and it’s only Wednesday morning. how much longer you’d have to sit through this bullshit. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 92 min.

HARRY AND AVIS Billed as an indie rom-com, this simple story leaves a lot to the imagination. Although the title suggests otherwise, and despite how Avis takes up her share of the screen, it’s more of a story about Harry. Ever the thinker (often the over-thinker), Harry is a restless and fearful character from writer and director Nathan Hollis (who also plays the titular character).

We’re always suspicious when the lead actor’s name appears so many times in the credits, and the naval-gazing aspect of this movie bears that out. How much of Harry is really Hollis isn’t decipherable, yet we’re willing to bet it’s quite a bit. He’s a classic American millennial, wearing peg-legged denim with an upturned cuff, also sporting a beard and carrying a chip on his shoulder because he’s yet to do something with himself. Avis (Margot Mount) isn’t quite a three-dimensional woman, and it’s not just because she wears lacy white pajamas on a camping trip. Mount certainly conveys that she’s an odd fit for Harry, and so the romance part of their relationship feels appropriately strained. It’s also what makes for some of the entertaining banter between the two. Do they really even like each other or get each other at all? What would they do if they had to solve a real problem together?

Don’t take any outdoor survival tips from these two—or relationship strategies, for that matter.

The three-night stay on a windy hillside looking over Loch Lomond and the rolling Scottish hills behind it forms the backbone of the low-budget effort named an audience favorite at the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival in 2015.

HELL OR HIGH WATER This slow burn tells the tale of Texas brothers Tanner (Ben Foster) and Toby Howard (Chris Pine’s eyebrows), ranchers who turn to bank robbery in order to pay off bank debts and provide for Toby’s estranged family. All the while, Texas Ranger Marcus Hamilton (Jeff Bridges) is hot on their heels with his partner Alberto (House of Cards’ Gil Birmingham).

We’re told constantly that the plan is smart: Rob a specific bank’s various under-secured branches in small Texas towns and then launder the money through Native casinos

located in Oklahoma. And though we can accept that this somehow makes Toby a genius, his unpredictable ex-con brother acts as wild card and begins to muck it all up as he operates outside their agreed-upon tactics.

What could have been a tense catand-mouse story turns sour as Bridges and Birmingham’s relationship makes for something akin to comedic relief. Uh-oh! The old-timer cowboy cop is full of racist little quips for the stoic Native cop—but they’re buddies and love each other despite all the chopbusting! This doesn’t mix entirely well with Pine and Foster’s decidedly more serious scenes, and it’s hard to invest in either duo when the brothers are complete assholes and the cops are borderline bumbling.

The Texas backdrop, however, is gorgeous and embodies place-as-character in a way not so enjoyable since the first season of True Detective’s terrifying Louisiana backcountry.

Music from Nick Cave sets a tone of constant dread and ramps up the unspoken feeling that Pine’s character never wanted to resort to robbery. This could have (and should have) been explored more deeply, which leaves us with half of a fleshed-out character, a misstep that is all the more disappointing since the entire film otherwise progresses under the assumption that banks are evil, and while they most certainly have proven they are, it seems an ultimately flimsy motivation. Too bad, because Pine’s unease might have translated into a Robin Hood-like regard for the brothers’ actions; Tanner, unfortunately, is never redeemed.

It isn’t that Hell of High Water is boring— more like it feels as if it couldn’t quite realize its full potential. Bridges is always worth watching, even when his lines are goofy, and Birmingham strikes a superb counterpoint to his gruff, old cowpoke demeanor (let’s get this guy more roles, huh?). Regardless, it still isn’t the Coen Brothers; rather, it’s a simple story told just well enough as to not bother anyone. (ADV) DeVargas, Violet Crown, R, 102 min.

KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS

Animation powerhouse Laika, which previously brought us Coraline and ParaNorman, is out to blow our minds all over again with Kubo and the Two Strings, a fable heavily influenced by Japanese mythology and one of the finest films of the year. A young boy with one eye named Kubo (Art Parkinson) spends much of his time caring for his ailing

MOVIES

barf Morgan is super into chess, gray hoodies and rippin’ throats. mother and the rest making money by busking with a magical samisen that can bring origami to life, a power he uses to tell stories to the townspeople.

Mom constantly reminds our young hero that he must never stay out after dark or his grandfather, the evil Moon King (Ralph Fiennes), will come for him and take his other eye. Yikes.

This system works for many years until Kubo accidentally stays out too late during the festival of Obon, a yearly occurrence wherein the souls of departed loved ones supposedly return to speak with the living.

Turns out his mother’s warnings were true, and as soon as the moon hangs in the sky, Kubo is relentlessly pursued by the Moon King’s twin daughters, an evil pair voiced brilliantly by Rooney Mara (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), who do indeed want his other eye. The twins are utterly terrifying but,

with the help of his mother’s magic, Kubo is able to escape. Alone and scared, our hero is joined by a no-nonsense monkey (Charlize Theron), who is a martial arts expert, and a warrior (Matthew McConaughey) cursed to wander the earth without his memories and in anthropomorphized beetle form.

The combination of stop-motion and computer animation is absolutely stunning, from the large-scale action sequences to seemingly unimportant details such as the way hair moves in the wind. From a technical standpoint, Kubo and the Two Strings doesn’t just raise the bar—it demolishes it entirely.

In a medium that never seems to tire of fluff or talking down to kids, this is a brilliant alternative. Smart, funny and thrilling throughout, it very well may go down in film history as one of the greatest animation features of all time. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG, 101 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ARTFUL SOUL CENTER Rob Brezsny

Week of September 14th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) What should you do if your allies get bogged down by excess caution or lazy procrastination? Here’s what I advise: Don’t confront them or berate them. Instead, cheerfully do what must be done without their help. And what action should you take if mediocrity begins to creep into collaborative projects? Try this: Figure out how to restore excellence, and cheerfully make it happen. And how should you proceed if the world around you seems to have fallen prey to fear-induced apathy or courage-shrinking numbness? My suggestion: Cheerfully kick the world’s butt—with gentle but firm good humor.

and replaces them with a new set of rigid beliefs. But I’d like to propose an alternative definition for your use in the coming days. According to my astrological analysis, you now have an extraordinary power to thoroughly wash your own brain—thereby flushing away toxic thoughts and trashy attitudes that might have collected there. I invite you to have maximum fun as you make your inner landscape clean and sparkly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) My astrological divinations suggest that a lightning storm is headed your way, metaphorically speaking. But it shouldn’t inconvenience you much—unless you do the equivalent of getting drunk, TAURUS (April 20-May 20) For the foreseeable future, stumbling out into the wasteland, and screaming curses your main duty is to be in love. Rowdily and innocently toward heaven. (I don’t recommend that.) For best in love. Meticulously and shrewdly in love. In love with results, consider this advice: Take shelter from the whom or what? Everyone and everything—or at least storm, preferably in your favorite sanctuary. Treat yourwith as much of everyone and everything as you can self to more silence and serenity than you usually do. manage.

But that’s exactly what the cosmic omens sug- Her about all the situations you want Her to help you gest is necessary if you want to break through to the transform during the next 12 months. next major chapter of your life story.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Novelist Tom Robbins GEMINI (May 21-June 20) What do you hope to be said this about my work: “I’ve seen the future of when you are all grown up, Gemini? An irresistible American literature and its name is Rob Brezsny.” charmer who is beloved by many and owned by none? Oscar-winning actress Marisa Tomei testified, “Rob A master multi-tasker who’s paid well for the art of Brezsny gets my nomination for best prophet in a never being bored? A versatile virtuoso who is skilled starring role. He’s a script doctor for the soul.” Grammy at brokering truces and making matches and tinkering Award-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz declared, with unique blends? The coming weeks will be a favor- “Rob Brezsny writes everybody’s favorite astrology able time to entertain fantasies like these—to dream column. I dig him for his powerful yet playful insights, about your future success and happiness. You are likely his poetry and his humor.” Are you fed up with my to generate good fortune for yourself as you brainboasts yet, Sagittarius? I will spare you from further storm and play with the pleasurable possibilities. I displays of egomania under one condition: You have to invite you to be as creative as you dare. brag about yourself a lot in the coming days—and not CANCER (June 21-July 22) “Dear Soul Doctor: I have just with understated little chirps and peeps. Your been trying my best to body-surf the flood of feelings expressions of self-appreciation must be lush, that swept me away a few weeks ago. So far I haven’t flamboyant, exultant, witty, and sincere. drowned! That’s good news, right? But I don’t know CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) By normal standards, how much longer I can stay afloat. It’s hard to maintain your progress should be vigorous in the coming weeks. so much concentration. The power and volume of the You may score a new privilege, increase your influence, surge doesn’t seem to be abating.

But accomplishments like those will reach dry land? - Careening Crab.” Dear Careening: be secondary to an even more crucial benchmark: Will Five or six more days, at the most: You won’t have to hold out longer than that. During this last stretch, see if you understand yourself better? Will you cultivate a more robust awareness of your strengths and weaknessyou can enjoy the ride more. Re-imagine your journey es, your needs and your duties? Will you get clear about as a rambunctious adventure rather than a harrowing ordeal. And remember to feel grateful: Not many peo- what you have to learn and what you have to jettison? ple have your capacity to feel so deeply.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If there can be such a thing as a triumphant loss, you will achieve it sometime soon. If anyone can slink in through the back door but make it look like a grand entrance, it’s you. I am in awe of your potential to achieve auspicious reversals and medicinal redefinitions. Plain old simple justice may not be available, but I bet you’ll be able to conjure up some unruly justice that’s just as valuable. To assist you in your cagey maneuvers, I offer this advice: Don’t let your prowess make you overconfident, and always look for ways to use your so-called liabilities to your advantage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) I’m confident that you would never try to sneak through customs with cocainelaced goat meat or a hundred live tarantulas or some equally prohibited contraband. Please use similar caution as you gear up for your rite of passage or metaphorical border crossing. Your intentions should be pure and your conscience clear. Any baggage you take with you should be free of nonsense and delusions. To ensure the best possible outcome, arm yourself with the highest version of brave love that you can imagine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Should you be worried if you have fantasies of seducing a deity, angel, or superhero? Will it be weird if some night soon you dream of VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Caution: You may soon be an erotic rendezvous with a mermaid, satyr, or centaur? exposed to outbreaks of peace, intelligence, and I say no. In fact, I’d regard events like these as healthy mutual admiration. Sweet satisfactions might erupt signs. They would suggest that you’re ready to tap into unexpectedly. Rousing connections could become almost routine, and useful revelations may proliferate. mythic and majestic yearnings that have been buried deep in your psyche. They might mean your imagination Are you prepared to fully accept this surge of grace?

Or will you be suspicious of the chance to feel soulfully wants to steer you toward experiences that will energize the smart animal within you. And this would be in accorsuccessful? I hope you can find a way to at least dance with the most exalted cosmic tendencies. Try saytemporarily adopt an almost comically expansive ing this affirmation: “I am brilliantly primal. I am wildly optimism. That might be a good way to ensure you’re wise. I am divinely surprising.” not blindsided by delight.

I have been trying to document the Israeli occupation for more than twenty years, during which time the occupation has inexorably tightened its grip.

I have sought to record the increasing—and ever more rapid accumulations of war crimes and human rights abuses committed during that period.

It is an exasperating calling to write in Israel what so few want to read.

Burghers, and Muslims. Of their differences, Freeman writes, “To the untrained eye, the physical distinction between the Sinhalese and the Tamil races was so subtle that only the natives could distinguish one from the other, pointing to the drape of a sari, the cheekbones on a face, the scent of hair oil to clarify. But distinctions there were, and the natural order of things would eventually come to pass: resentments would grow.”

In 2015 she edited the anthology Extraordinary Rendition: (American) Writers on Palestine, bringing together the work of 65 writers and poets.

She blogs on literature and politics for the Huffington Post and is a contributing member of the Asian American Literary Review editorial board. Freeman was a Lannan Residency Fellow in 2016.
