COVER, APRIL 11: “NERVOUS ABOUT DATING? #METOO”
YOU CAN’T SIT WITH US As a young, white, college-educated, masculine-centered, lesbian female, who regularly has hostile encounters with mostly middle-aged, mostly white men that have led to violent attacks, this article disheartened me. #MeToo is about those who have encountered abuse/rape/harassment not dating anxiety. Being that the article was about theoretical scenarios of violence and hostility, and moreover about dating anxiety, which occurs for all kinds of well founded reasons, I think it was an inappropriate time to include a conversation about #MeToo which is about something that has in fact happened. How about ‘nervous about dating’ #anxietyattackahh and start your own movement.

LETTERS, MARCH 7: “JUDGING BY THE COVER”
A DIFFERENT TAKE I am a former SFUAD student, now graduate, who read the letter published concerning the cover story “Stairway to Nowhere.” First and foremost, the title (which seemed to be the cause for the letter) accurately captures my SFUAD experience from day one. Though I made friendships and had a valuable education due to the efforts of incredible professors, defending even the campus seems like a desperate cling to yet another for profit institution. Let me rephrase that: I’m sure if you weren’t financially on the hook for the terribly unsafe housing, lack of security and spontaneous fees, it must seem harsh. It isn’t. I’m writing in as the largest part of former SFUAD students who are finding it difficult to defend any aspect of what happened. It is time now to separate the romance of the college experience from the destruction SFUAD ultimately caused on the lives of those speaking out as well as those staying quiet. I wish us all luck moving forward to brighter, more permanent things.

yourself,” Anaya says of his approach. “I did it for so many years. And that’s probably why a lot of people know me.” On opioids, Anaya says he would model a new program off the Safe Passage program in Lee County, Illinois, which encourages people seeking treatment to bring drugs and drug paraphernalia to the sheriff’s office for disposal. Leonard Romero says if he’s elected to the job, he would also want the county to hire several dozen new sheriff’s deputies so there would be more of them “interact[ing] with the public as much as possible and hopefully portray a very positive image to the youth.” Romero, a former sheriff’s deputy whose career also includes a decades-long stint as an SFPD officer and a year and a half with Pojoaque Tribal Police, sees young people as both an educational frontline against opioids and a recruiting pool for future deputies. He recorded $1,400 in contributions. Concerning education on drug use, Romero says, “I think we need to emphasize [it] a little more, perhaps branch into the schools. Because a lot of school kids now are getting involved in opioids, cocaine, stuff like that.” As for how he envisions his deputies interacting with the community, he suggests that for “one day a week, [deputies] interact with public and businesses and find out what’s going on in that particular area of the county.” Linda Ortiz, who ran for sheriff in 2006, also believes deputies should have more of a presence throughout the county. The retired sheriff’s deputy has raised $4,195.12 for the race. “If the community can help us out by being our eyes and ears out there, we’d be able to handle calls a lot quicker, our officers need to get out in rural areas and associate with our community,” Ortiz says. In addition to asking the county for more deputies, Ortiz says she wants to create a mental health division that would provide “across-the-board training for the entire department to manage [a] person with mental health issues” and designate two deputies per shift to respond to service calls involving mental crises. With no Republican seeking the office in the November general election, the winner of the June 8 primary is the presumptive sheriff-elect.

andidates running to be Santa Fe County’s next sheriff will carry out duties that have remained mostly consistent since 1846, when provisional governor Charles Bent installed a sheriff for the newly created Santa Fe County as part of the United States’ colonization of this region. Like sheriffs in Medieval England and, later, the American colonies, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office enforces law and court orders in non-urban areas. The county encompasses 1,911 square miles, from Española city limits in the north to the town of Edgewood in the south. Deputies enforce civil actions by the state District Court, including orders to enforce the legal outcomes of civil disputes and writs allowing deputies to seize property and remove people from homes. Several deputies also patrol the district and magistrate courts. The four Democratic sheriff candidates running in the June primary to succeed incumbent Robert Garcia tell SFR deputies should take more action in non-punitive areas like mental health and opioid abuse, and should build intelligence relationships with people in remote areas of the county. Three out of four also want more deputies, but offered no empirical evidence why they’re needed. Campaign finance records show that Adan Mendoza, who retired with the rank of major from the sheriff’s office in 2016, is far ahead of the other three candidates in electoral contributions, reaching $15,636 as of an April 9 report.

has received small donations from former City Councilor Ron Trujillo and his wife Amber, as well as current Sheriff Robert Garcia and wife Christina, and current Undersheriff Ron Madrid. In February, Mendoza also posted a $5,000 combined contribution from his parents, Gloria and Samuel Mendoza. Last year, Gloria Mendoza became the face of a politically conservative group in Santa Fe whose public reputation was ruined after she and others posted racist and abrasive things online. In an interview, Mendoza says he wants the sheriff’s department to take a greaterer role in stemming opioid abuse, and wants to start a version of the city’s Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion program in the county. Deputies began to carry the anti-overdose medication naloxone in 2014 at his urging. “I’m proud of that accomplishment because the sheriff’s office did something that was not enforcement-based,” Mendoza tells SFR. He also wants to ask the county for an additional 20-30 deputies to saturate rural areas, but acknowledges no objective study has been done to determine whether more are actually needed. FBI statistics show there were 111 violent crimes in 2016, higher than 57 in 2014 but nearer to 94 and 95 in 2012 and 2010, respectively. Data from the sheriff’s office shows burglary crimes fell by almost 40 percent over the last nine years. Manuel Anaya says he has taken a leave of absence from his job as investigator for the Public Regulation Commission to run for sheriff. A former Santa Fe city police officer as well as a former sheriff’s deputy, Anaya says he’s a proponent of officers introducing themselves to residents in their downtime. He’s recorded $2,712.42 in contributions so far. “If there’s no calls for service, then stop by at a residence and introduce

This is not a book of warning; it is a book groping toward an understanding of what it means after 200,000 years of modern humans on a 4.5 billion-yearold Earth to have arrived at this point in history, the Anthropocene. I say “groping toward” because the change has come upon us with disorienting speed. . . . Most citizens ignore or downplay the warnings; many of our intellectuals indulge in wishful thinking; and some influential voices declare that nothing at all is happening, that the scientists are deceiving us. Yet the evidence tells us that so powerful have humans become that we have entered a new and dangerous geological epoch, defined by the fact that the “human imprint on the global environment has now become so large and active that it rivals some of the great forces of Nature in its impact on the functioning of the Earth system.”

The Rio Grande is likely to dry in Albuquerque this summer.
Well, Well With rivers low and expected to keep dropping, Santa Fe depends on groundwater this summer BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
G
roundwater wells that have mostly been resting on the city’s west side since the construction of a Rio Grande diversion are likely to get put back into action this summer. Dismal snowpack and low rainfall so far this spring mean water in the river is scarce. These have long been the plans in Santa Fe, where officials decided in the early 2000s to build a massive infrastructure project to draw water off the river. The Buckman Direct Diversion went online in 2011, becoming a fourth source in the water supply portfolio for Santa Fe’s homes and businesses, along with two well fields and the Rio Grande. Since the reservoirs on the smaller Santa Fe River are also low due to the drought conditions, that leaves the wells.
The city’s policy is to “minimize groundwater use in years when surface water availability is limited—like this year,” reads a memo from water utility staff to diversion board managers late last month explaining the plan. City Water Division Director Rick Carpenter tells SFR he doesn’t anticipate a supply problem this season. “Those wells have all been resting and the water levels are coming up. Two examples that I can give are two Buckman wells that have recovered so much that they have gone artesian, which means that the water is coming out of them, we don’t even have to pump them,” he says. “So the aquifer is recovered. That is always what we had hoped for. If we do have to pump the wells all summer, we should be fine.” Most of the water drawn each year at the Buckman is technically water piped into the Rio Grande over the continental divide from the San Juan River in Colorado to the Chama River in New Mexico. And that—coupled with availability of other water to carry it, and additional water from local reservoirs—has been
able to meet the majority of demand in recent years. Not so for this summer. The memo contemplates two operational scenarios: one in which the diversion is shut down for three months, and one in which it draws just enough water to stay open. Conservation education and restrictions in the city have led to water use generally declining over the past two decades. Officials say the city would likely need about 10,000 acre-feet this year, and given the surface water shortage, just over half that is expected to now come from the wells. During July and August, more water would be produced from wells than any other source. If the rivers stay dry past one or two summers, however, all that could rapidly change, as Carpenter notes. “A long drought that goes for years and years is completely a different challenge than one that goes on for one or two,” he says. The city’s normal dry-season water restrictions are set to kick in from May 1 to Oct. 31, and Carpenter says he’s not aware of any plans to make use rules tougher.
SEASONAL RULES FOR WATER USE Outdoor watering is prohibited from 10 am-6 pm, and is recommended no more than three days a week. No use of power washers or hoses to clean driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, outdoor eating areas and other hard surfaces; Shut-off nozzles on hoses used for hand watering are required.
Last year at this time, snowmelt was pouring down the Rio Grande, flooding riparian restoration projects, filling out farm fields and even pressing against levees. This year, the lack of snowpack throughout the watershed’s mountain ranges has left the Rio Grande low and slow—and dry for 14 miles south of Socorro. Currently, the river is dry through the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. The US Bureau of Reclamation’s Albuquerque office issued the agency’s 2018 forecast for water operations on the Rio Grande on April 11. “It’s fortunate we have those dams and reservoirs up there,” Reclamation’s Albuquerque Area Manager Jennifer Faler said at the meeting, referring to reservoirs in Northern New Mexico. “That’s why we have them.” But later this summer, water stored in upstream reservoirs for the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District and the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority is expected to run out, as is Reclamation’s supplemental water. That refers to water the federal agency leases to boost flows in the river and protect endangered species like the Rio Grande Silvery Minnow. “We do expect to see drying in the Albuquerque reach this year,” Faler said of the stretch of the Rio Grande that runs through the state’s largest city. “And misery loves company,” she said. “On the Pecos [River], we’re expecting zero runoff from snowmelt into the reservoirs this year.” In difficult times, people work together better, she said, adding, “We expect a ton of cooperation this year.” During his presentation of the 2018 operating plan for the
NEWS
Rio Grande, which is compiled each year by Reclamation and the US Army Corps of Engineers, hydrologist Ed Kandl offered more details. In addition to the news about the conservancy district’s stored water and Reclamation’s supplemental water running out, Kandl said New Mexico will likely enter into what’s called Article 7 conditions on the Rio Grande by May. Under the Rio Grande Compact—the agreement under which Colorado, New Mexico and Texas share the river’s water—New Mexico is not allowed to store water in upstream reservoirs if Rio Grande Project storage is less than 400,000 acre-feet in Elephant Butte and Caballo reservoirs. Reclamation’s Rio Grande Project supplies water to Texas, and also farmers in southern New Mexico. Kandl shared slides forecasting flows along the Rio Grande based on the winter’s snowpack analysis. Of the Embudo gage in Northern New Mexico, he said, “We’ll be flirting with 100 [cubic feet per second] throughout most of the year.” (According to 86 years of USGS data, it should average 936.) Already this year, that stretch of the river has been running at less than half what it normally does. The “scariest” one, Kandl said, is the 2018 flows for the Rio Grande at the Central Avenue Bridge in Albuquerque, where the river will likely dry this spring and summer. Kandl and Faler both said area residents should be prepared to see the dry riverbed. “The worst part is still coming,” Kandl said. “Though, maybe we’ll have a good monsoon.” A version of this story was first published by New Mexico Political Report.

here are certain bands that draw audiences that just magically all become best friends; it’s probably unsurprising that Phish is one of those bands. And old habits die hard, so despite 2014’s breakup with the boyfriend who took me to my first 15-ish shows, I still do my best to make the pilgrimage to Dick’s Sporting Goods Arena near Denver every Labor Day Weekend for a three-night run and tent camping in a soccer field with a few thousand other debauchers. A little background: I’m probably the only kid on the planet on whom DARE (“Just Say No!”) actually worked. I made it through high school and an arts college without ever touching a drug harder than caffeine. In September of 2015, I had just turned 30, and years of singing lessons and the “never smoke anything ever” rule had made me demure every time marijuana came my way at parties. Expectedly, Phish shows are straight-up bacchanalias. There are always families with kids and there are usually AA meetings onsite, but
it’s generally much easier to get high than it is to not. Super-relaxed after having spent a day lounging in the sun, that Friday of the 2015 Labor Day run I headed into the stadium and parked on a cold bleacher. I struck up a conversation with three dudes behind me, and they asked if I was there alone. I said yes. “Oh, man! Congrats!” one said. He rummaged in his pocket. “You smoke?” “Sometimes.” Liar. He pulled out a partially smoked pre-roll. “We killed half of it but there’s plenty left.” I took it and said thanks. I tucked it in my pocket as we waited for the show to start. The night was getting cooler. I had no one to answer to. I was 30 fucking years old and I had earned the right to smoke some weed, dammit. It was legal where I was. I wasn’t singing any time soon. I was with 27,000 of my best friends. So I took a hit. I coughed like an idiot. It didn’t feel like anything. I took another. Okay. I’d wait, now, I guess. Tracking back through obsessively kept set lists from the savants over at Phish.net, I was able to confirm my memory that it really kicked in during “Bathtub Gin.” An easy YouTube search brings me to the recording of that exact performance. And yep, there he goes— pianist Page McConnell starts going off on tangents, there’s a cluster of guitar noodling, and falsetto voices came from what felt like nowhere. Whereas the music had always been fun to listen to and the light shows had

I could hear the main melody buried deep in the noodling. I got it. Further: Music theory made sense. Something about steps and tonal systems, endless variations on a theme? I don’t know. As a teen I dreamed of being a musician, but eventually quit because I wasn’t very good at the intellectual understanding of the art. But this night, music became a language that I spoke fluently. I could get inside the song; understand its nuts and bolts. The lights became a language, and I knew what parts of the music meant what color light. The notes turned inside-out (black and white for piano notes and blue frogs for the guitars). Music made so much sense. According to the 1972 Canadian Le Dain Commission document Inquiry
into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs, “many profound changes in thought and perception are reported by [cannabis] users;” the document—which puts the word “high” in quotation marks, by the way—goes on to reference “the rather amorphous psychological effects of cannabis,” but eventually references a “lack of statistical analyses of the data.” (Not surprisingly, more recent peer-reviewed studies about the cognitive effects of THC only discuss impairment, and the continued puritanical views of its recreational use— not to mention the injustice of millions of “criminals” jailed for selling a substance that I can now use freely—add infuriating layers to the equation.) Of course, at that second, if someone had sat me down in a practice room at Oberlin and quizzed me on music theory, I would have flunked it. But I really felt like I understood. The things I do not understand are beyond me simply because I don’t speak that language. The way in which color functions in someone else’s head is the way in which grammar functions in mine; I speak word-language, and maybe dancers can’t understand that just as I can’t understand dance-language. So I sat and stared. The drum set become a stegosaurus. My sunburned cheeks radiated heat. And I was fine knowing that soon, I’d lose all this knowledge—because, in the end, it wasn’t mine to know.

JUST CAN’T LEAVE THAT PIZZA BEHIND BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
n my entire life I’ve never been skinny. Not that I much care, because, believe me, I’m getting by just fine. Still, for the better part of nine years, I walked almost everywhere. This kept me in more or less OK shape. But then I entered a phase in life that came with more responsibility and significantly more hours at work. It made sense to buy a car and stop the extra hour or two of walking a day. And it all went to hell. Right off the bat, I didn’t feel as well without the daily miles on foot. My sleep began to suffer and the quick meals I was scarfing down between appointments came from drive-thru windows, food trucks or out of the microwave to be eaten over the sink. I drank at least a pot of coffee a day, often more. I was also beginning to take notice of how meat made me feel; I was more lethargic and regularly exhausted. I Pavlov’ed myself with early-evening naps to the point I’d automatically feel sleepy by 5:30 pm, even when I shouldn’t have been. I gained weight. And I ignored it all, because work comes first and I am but a vessel for the obligations therein. It was also around this time that the avalanche of animal rights vid-

eos on Facebook became harder to ignore. Sobbing pigs trapped in cages and overseas fur farms invaded my feed alongside emotionally devastated mother cows careening after trailers transporting their kidnapped babies to the slaughter. Cows are smarter than they look; pigs are smarter than dogs and, all the while, the vegans I know proffered warnings about the insane cost of water per steak, per chop, per breast, per egg. Meat had to go, and it was maybe even time to go vegan. Week 1 Having been vegetarian for a time some years before, meat was the easiest to leave behind. In many cases, veggie burgers, meatless hot dogs or faux chicken are a fine substitute (though anyone who says they taste just like the real thing is lying to themselves). Items like mushrooms, nuts, fruits and grains round out a diet nicely. Cheese and eggs stayed on the menu, but this was tenuous; my sugar intake rose dramatically. Week 3 Veganism was attempted, and I reached out to a longtime vegan friend who said it was a good idea to not push myself or make strict decisions that were bound to fail. I obsessively read ingredient lists to stay vegan and composed dramatic love ballads to long-lost pizzas. Feeling generally lightheaded resulted in adding supplements to the diet and focusing more on proteins. My general morale and energy levels improved.
Last Day of Week 3 Made pizza. No regrets. Fielded emails from vegan “support” groups that labeled me a monster for not getting it together quicker. Still no meat, but cheese was back; soy cheese is disgusting and we should all just admit it. Exhausted again, but this time by Facebook activists who relentlessly post about veganism without taking the knee jerk “screw you” reflex inherent in humans into account. The plantbased coffee “creamer” I’d been using in the mornings tasted fucking terrible and I went back to regular. Week 6 Still no meat. Clearly needed to label this switch an “experiment” to delude myself, but it worked. Pizza back in the regular rotation (I’m not made of stone), sometimes eggs for breakfast which, frankly, made me feel much more energetic and strong than any vegan or vegetarian item I found. Week 12 Stumbled upon so-called “Impossible Burgers,” plant-based meat substitutes available at certain local restaurants and Whole Foods. Still not the same, but delicious. Add green chile and … cheese? Solid. Sweet potato waffle fries? Glorious. Grilled
cheese sandwiches. Cashew snacks and baby carrots enter regular rotation. Ability to write normal sentences waned like moon. Week I Don’t Even Know Anymore I still haven’t touched meat; regularly eat eggs and cheese. I feel much better on the whole, even if I do still drive most places. Not even sure if I’ve lost weight—I don’t ask questions I don’t want the answers to. I’m not sure if I’ll ever eat meat again, but it doesn’t seem like I will as of this moment. I still take supplements (iron, B-12 and a probiotic), which help; less coffee, more decaf tea. Cheese isn’t a daily occurrence, nor are eggs. My skin seems to be clearing up. My vegan friends say at least I’m doing something. It was never entirely political, though. Maybe that’s selfish, or maybe it’s a matter of self-care. Maybe I just don’t want to look and feel awful for the sake of a burgburg er here and there. Haven’t decided yet. Maybe never will. De Vore is SFR’s culture editor, film critic and music writer.
AGAIN IS THE ONLY WORD THAT MATTERS
BY J E F F P RO CTO R j e f f p r o c t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
leashed my dachshund/demon this morning, Nikes laced up tight and proper, and prepared for our long-running ritual: A 12-minute walk around the neighborhood. We walk regardless of the elements—and it’s as much for me as it is to keep Blaze, an aging and occasionally ill-tempered hound, somewhat less deranged. The jaunt’s final third finds us ascending a somewhat steeply pitched sidewalk, then ’round a corner and home. Today, I paused briefly at my driveway’s edge, ignoring Blaze’s confusion, admiring the view of the mountains and overtaken with a sudden realization: The relatively normal function of my lungs. I wasn’t panting, wheezing or doubled over. Fifteen days ago, this was not so. That’s when I quit smoking. Again. SFR savants will recall a cover story I wrote in 2013 for this newspaper about my foray into vaping—and what was at the time the burgeoning phenomenon of hobbyist-level e-cigs. I vaped for a few years and, for a time, believed my health improved. Slowly, though, the sound of my bedtime breathing came once again to re-
semble a ‘73 VW bug struggling to start on a cold morning. So I quit. Then I started smoking. Again. Sometime in late 2016, I ran completely out of gas during exercise that would leave a moderately healthy human unfazed. I flashed on the possibility of a heart attack. Off, then, to the doctor, who furnished me with the diagnosis that has long been my destiny: mild COPD and emphysema. I hail from Kentucky, see, so it’s safe to say I’ve been smoking a very, very long time. Back home, in the first grade, young tots were not given a box of No. 2 pencils, a primer on healthy living and a pat on the head. Instead, we were handed a hard pack of Marlboros and a bottle of Maker’s Mark and told, “Here, kid, support local industry!” I’ve been burying family members from emphysema since before then—half a dozen so far, at current count. Among my earliest memories, when I was 3 or 4, is when my paternal grandfather came to my parents’ home to die, dull hospital-green oxygen tanks in tow. Precocious, inappropriate journalist-to-be that I was, I asked him one day what it was like. “You know how when you dive into a pool and start swimming across, staying under water for as long as you can?” he rasped. I nodded as if I did.
“It’s like that, only, that moment when you finally come up for air—that perfect, full moment—never comes.” He was 62. I was 42 and light change when the pulmonologist gave me the news about my lungs, which cannot recover because of the disease. It can be arrested, however, and I can maximize what capacity remains. A few days later, I started smoking. Again. My self-destructive streak is quite well-known among the many souls who’ve encountered me through the years. I struggle in myriad facets of living as an adult, often happily dropping the match on things I care about. But in the physical well-being department, I’ve been a conscience-free, ninth-century warlord. Far from the body-as-temple adherent, I’ve treated my corpus as rusted-out dumpster that could never be destroyed. My history of self-improvement is also dotted with somewhat staggering feats of accomplishment. I’ve belly-crawled out of far nastier pits

than nicotine addiction to become a competent—if not respected—reporter and editor, a homeowner and, most recently, trimmed my golf handicap all the way back down to five after several years of not touching a club at all. But by the latter part of last spring, I was laboring to breach that pool water my grandfather had warned me of so many years hence, even with the help of an inhaler. So, I quit smoking. Again. This time with the aid of a medi-
cation that, while admirably blunting cravings for a smoke, induces end-ofthe-world-type anxiety and dreams that place the unlucky user in the middle of nightly medieval battles that would make a Game of Thrones screenwriter blanche. I consumed these cursed pills for 90 days and didn’t smoke. For 63 more, I continued the streak. Then, I started smoking. Again. (Yes, Dear Reader, you may ask: “Why?” Here’s my answer: Because I’m a Kentucky boy, and we smoke, dammit.) This time, it got ugly fast. I visited family in Florida for Christmas and could barely walk across the living room to deliver my niece a present. But I went out back every 90 minutes or so to painfully choke down another American Spirit. I returned home and slogged through the neighborhood streets with Blaze every day for a few months. By late March, I was stopping halfway up the hill every morning and hoping to not pass out. Blaze is 15 or so, naps far more than he used to, and was embarrassed that his walker couldn’t make it 30 more steps. So, a month ago, I got back on the crazy-making meds. A dozen days later, I quit smoking. Again. I’m officially out of the prognostication business after watching Tiger Woods fly a golf ball 340 yards after spinal fusion surgery. So I’m not interested in saying whether it’s gonna stick this time. But I’m a New Mexican now, having lived here 16 years. With that, I believe, comes the singular phenomenon associated with this place, which I have described thusly: We wake up every day with an entirely unwarranted sense of optimism. So, I will say that by the time you encounter this essay, I will not have smoked for 16 days. Beyond that, if you see me out back of the SFR offices on Marcy Street puffing away, feel free to shout a word of encouragement, throw a pipe wrench at me, call me “Fake News” or some combination thereof. Know this, though: I’ll quit smoking. Again. Proctor is contributing editor at SFR and leads The Justice Project at New Mexico In Depth. SFREPORTER.COM

There and Back Again
FINDING THE SPIRIT IN RELIGION, OR SOMETHING LIKE IT
by colonial powers, but that has long attracted spiritual seekers of all kinds. I grew up reading the Bible, praying, speaking in tongues (glossolalia), singing Spanish praise songs, grilling carne asada in the park after Bible study. Other core activities of my childhood included looking things up in our big encyclopedia set, reading Dickens, analyzing Scorsese’s Last Temptation of Christ. My family was religious, of the evangelical Christian variety. And also intellectual. I never really felt coerced by religiosity. I found it interesting; I liked discussing big questions. I felt something real in prayer. I loved my church family. In high school, in the first years of the 2000s, I started connecting some
This way looks very different from the collusion with Empire that many of us have observed in ... mainstream Christianity.

I
remember sitting on this large rock, its solidity cool underneath my body, while the sun beamed down on me with its unparalleled energy. I felt rooted, held. And also free. Warm. Connected. I laughed quietly, a sensation of bubbling joy moving from my core out through my warm limbs. It is moments of transcendence that come immediately to mind as I reflect on what spirit means to me. This particular spiritual “mountaintop experience” happened at a church camp, many years ago—a personal peak experience facilitated by “organized religion.” (Or as some like to joke, “disorganized religion.”)
In this time in our nation, when politics enacted by folks claiming Christian faith are causing harm and heartache and division, I feel the need to reflect not only on how the world is full of magic and divine imagination and transcendence, but also on how we show up together, in community, and how we situate ourselves spiritually in history. This one small moment of spiritual wonder, embedded in the container of organized religion as I attended a weekend retreat, embodies my own complex relationship to spirituality and religion. The distinction between the two is sometimes blurry, but the choice to identify with the religion I was born into feels like an unexpected act of resistance—especially from my home in Santa Fe, a city that was literally named after the Christian religion
dots about immigration. And NAFTA. And the environment. And race. And gender. I participated in Amnesty International events to raise awareness about young women being raped and murdered in Juárez. I co-founded the Gay Straight Alliance at my school. I wore a black armband to school every day after the US invaded Iraq. My family’s religiosity was nominally apolitical and actually conservative, yet I was becoming politically engaged in movements for liberation. I wanted to find that spiritual juice wherever it might be found, but I wanted analysis of power structures too. I couldn’t just pray fervently anymore without naming justice. I wanted to act in the world with the power of Spirit. The religious cultures of others were intriguing and seemed profound in their insights. I learned so much
from worshipping in Gurdwaras, Hindu temples and mosques, from meditating at Tibetan shrines. But these beautiful traditions are not my own, the way my uneasy alliance with Christianity is distinctly my own path. I realized that if I was willing, I could go deeper within my own tradition than I could in any other. And through it all, I came to the somewhat disappointing conclusion that despite my misgivings, I had been raised deeply embedded within a Christian worldview, and that worldview was mine to challenge and explore and plumb the depths of. As a spiritual seeker with deep questions and commitments, I have come to honor my own religious roots and institutional affiliations. I appreciate the universal questions, the feeling of quest for meaning over millennia, the belonging and community—even, and perhaps especially, with people I would never choose as friends. As an activist, being in spiritual community with others keeps me grounded, reminds me of the cycles of history, points me to profound truths, and challenges me again and again to love my neighbor with a love so big I can hardly stand it. So, I am religious. Sometimes I have to swallow hard to say it; to admit that I actually try to follow the way of Jesus. And to claim with love and courage that this way looks very different from the collusion with Empire that many of us have observed in the development of mainstream Christianity. Very different from evangelist Franklin Graham’s endorsement of the supposed faith of our current president. I am also spiritual. I seek sacred connection in many places. Like those few moments on that rock many years ago, where time seemed to stop and I knew in my bones that I was part of the universe, I seek God in religious structure and outside of it. I have a personal spirituality, which is often facilitated by showing up to the communal and the traditional. I am both spiritual and religious, and I don’t think I could have one without the other.

umans have sparked half of the wildfires in the Southwest, and those fires have consumed about half of the acreage burned in recent years. Just in 2016, that amounted to 200,000 acres. Abandoned campfires started roughly 44 percent of these fires, though vehicle exhaust pipes, cigarette butts, fireworks, power lines and arson were also to blame. The Forest Stewards Guild and the Forest Trust released a report detailing these problems within days of the first blaze in the Santa Fe National Forest this spring, and aim to ignite a conversation around how to reduce such fires. An abandoned campfire started the Osha Fire, which quickly earned 44 personnel and a helicopter tasked with quashing the 36-acre blaze. It was reported Saturday, April 7, and was fully contained by 8 am on Monday, April 9. The Forest Service had the resources ready to go after calling in fire crews weeks ahead of schedule, says Bruce Hill, spokesman for the Santa Fe National Forest. In these dry conditions, fire season is taking off about two months earlier than usual. For those who love to hike, bike and camp in the national forest, there’s already worry about smoke and forest closures, not to mention the other woes that accompany fires. Zander Evans, executive director of the Forest Stewards Guild and author of the recent report, says it’s time to take a look at what more could be done to prevent human-caused fires. “We know that many fires are natural and we need some low-severity fires in our forest as part of their ecology,” Evans says. “But then we see these other fires

like Las Conchas or Tres Lagunas or the Wallow Fire that didn’t have to happen and had really horrible effects for humans and natural communities.” Smokey Bear and his “Remember, only you can prevent forest fires” slogan has been cited among the most successful public awareness campaigns. But it apppears to have been 40 years since anyone studied the effectiveness of current wildfire prevention education efforts. Campfire bans—like the one for the Santa Fe National Forest that started Friday, April 13—seem ineffective, Evans’ report says. The Forest Service issued 51 citations last summer for violations of level one restrictions. Hill agrees there’s a certain level of ignorance, willful or otherwise, about these bans, and they rely on some whistleblowing to track down people breaking the rules. News about restrictions and fire danger often spreads though posted road
signs, some of which are more clear than others. The urban myth among wildfire researchers is that, as Evans writes, “the sign with a shovel and bucket bearing the message ‘required for camping’ has been confused with a message about wilderness hygiene” rather than a checklist for thoroughly extinguishing a fire. Perhaps, in an era of ubiquitous GPS-enabled devices, an upgrade is due? “Given all the new technology and new understanding of selling people things and selling people messages, there have to be new, good ideas out there,” Evans says. “Why can’t we move in the direction of using some of that technology to reach folks?” New approaches for reducing human-started fires could be as advanced as enabling phones to alert people as they enter areas with fire restrictions in place, or as basic as an idea from California to plant flags in fire pits reminding
How not to get shut out of the woods this summer: Talk about fire that a wet fire is a dead fire. While the Forest Service automatically cross-posts the latest news to Facebook and Twitter, nothing more advanced is in the works, Hill says. The Santa Fe National Forest has already restricted fires to developed sites this season, the first in a series of three bans. The next prohibits fires of any kind, stove fires, smoking, operating chainsaws, internal combustion engines and using vehicles off the road. The third stage is a total forest closure—gates close and lock and the presence of law enforcement increases to ticket people who go into the woods anyway. The last closure was in 2013. Making that move hinges on overall fire danger, as well as high-risk occasions like July 4 and its inevitable fireworks, and resource shortages. Stage two is likely to come soon, Hill says. Closures aim to protect the forest from human ignitions, as well as to protect people from being in the backcountry when a fire starts. “Just as the public relies on us to fight wildfires,” Hill says, “the Forest Service counts on the public to help prevent them.” SMOKE IMPACTS: WILDFIRE VS.

WAKE UP Progressive music can feel noodley, self-indulgent—boring, even. But in the case of Albuquerque-based quartet The Coma Recovery, a foundation of atmospheric and bonkers-heavy instrumentation makes the sound feel more akin to mathy post-punk than jazzy nonsense. Eagle-eyed (eared?) New Mexicans will surely know the band by now, but those who’ve yet to become converts, especially in Santa Fe, should know they’ve got new tunes out from Deep Elm Records, the addition of former Future Scars drummer Ben Durfee and an upcoming show at Second Street Brewery’s Rufina Taproom.

You’ve Got Mail Baltimore’s Snail Mail’s glorious return to Santa Fe Previously, when Lindsey Jordan and her band Snail Mail came through Santa Fe, it was to open for indie act Waxahatchee at Meow Wolf last August. Jordan and crew practically stole the show, however, with the selfsame dreamy indie-pop that had skyrocketed the young songwriter out of her bedroom writing and recording sessions to playing alongside bands like Priests, national and international tours, appearances at festivals and, as of that night at Meow Wolf, the love of a brand new super-fan (namely, me). It’s been a whirl of wind since then for Snail Mail who, hot off their second appearance at Austin’s South by Southwest, are set to release their first full-length album Lush with indie label Matador this June. “It was weird for, like, a second,” Jordan tells SFR of the resources inherent with label representation and the switch from DIY roots to a world of pro studios and deadlines. “Now it’s just the deal [and] I’m just psyched we have the resources to make the record.” On Lush, Jordan has really spread her wings; label or no, she’s still firmly
in control of the band and its songwriting, but she also says she’s matured as a songwriter, citing how she now knows “a lot faster when to abandon a song that isn’t working and how much stress to give something.” And it’s quite apparent. On Snail Mail’s debut EP, 2016’s Habit, Jordan’s skill for melodies and guitar (she’s classically trained, y’all) were obvious, but they’ve evolved into more layered and nuanced pieces still rife with her knack for catchy pop and relatable lyrics and still planted in rock. Not half bad for a musician who used to think she’d never want to sing for and lead a band. “I’m such a control freak,” she explains with a laugh. “It makes sense I’d grow into that aspect of myself.” (Alex De Vore)

East Meets West Annual Bollywood Club Invasion hits them double-digits BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
f I ever had to explain our fair city’s musical landscape to an outsider in one sentence, I’d probably say something like, “Blah-blahblah, Americana and—oh! Santa Fe sure loves its dance parties!” Whomever I was explaining this to would probably nod politely with a “whatever, dude” smirk and go about their business, completely unaware of the madness spurred by Meow Wolf (both now and back then), Mesa Recordings, the legendary Diablo Canyon parties that go all night and then some and, as of this year, the 10th iteration of the annual Bollywood Club Invasion. From humble beginnings inside the Sanbusco Center (which is now a school or, like, maybe a rendering plant or something?) to its massive new version in the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, the Bollywood Club Invasion is this weirdly brilliant mix of hot-ass club banger hits and traditional Bollywood jams mashed up and served out alongside improvisational multi-media video creations from artist Agramzu. Mosaic Dance Company is scheduled to appear as well, with special choreography from an honest-to-goodness Bollywood choreographer. The party also boasts a bazaar, food from Jambo, henna, astrology and a special dance lesson at 7 pm just before things kick into high gear.
“I cannot believe it’s been 10 years,” co-founder and multiple SFR Best of Santa Fe DJ winner Sol Bentley says. “The formula, the recipe we’ve found for the party—and it’s a true collective party—really seems to work.” Bentley, you may also know as Dynamite Sol, provides the Western Hemisphere-based music of the equation. His partner Sanjay Schmidt, aka Shobanon, brings in the Bollywood style. This mix sounds almost like it wouldn’t work, and yet it does. “It’s a little difficult with Shobanon living in San Francisco, but we coordinate about how we’d like the energy to flow for weeks leading up to the event,” Bentley explains. “He does his thing, I do mine, and we match up the old Bhangra music and Bollywood classics with new club-stomping soundtracks—

in Santa Fe. “It’s put me on to a lot of great music I might never have heard about—and the interesting thing about Bollywood music is, we’re talking this big umbrella where we say ‘Bollywood,’ but Indian people think of it like Hindi music and Punjabi music. It’s broken up—and I’m still going to try to provide the dance floor burners we DJs call heaters.” Both Bentley and Schmidt donate their sets and proceeds from the Bollywood Club Invasion go the Amma Center of New Mexico. Mata Amritanandamayi, also known as Amma, for those who don’t know, is an internationally touring human-Sanjay Schmidt, aka DJ Shobanon itarian from India who is perhaps best-known for embracing the people of the plus, we’re both drummers by trade, so planet.

am not religious in any sense of the term, but hugging this woman was one of the most significant moments of my lifetime). Amma won’t be on hand for the event, though she does come to Santa Fe somewhat regularly. “For me, working and living in our community, knowing we’re having a really positive impact—and helping people not just through music and community events, but also monetarily—is incredible,” Bentley says. “It’s so great to see it all, even after 10 years of doing this; I get people who tell me that it’s, like, their one big party night a year.” Schmidt feels good about it, too. “I wouldn’t miss this event for anything,” he tells SFR. “It’s a really organic combination of creative energy and atmosphere that is amazing. I always do what I need to do to make it happen.”

COURTESY NEW ENERGY ECONOMY
ere in New Mexico, our sun is hard to miss, with mesas and mountains in every direction basking in the characteristic light we all know so well. But as far as an energy source, “we need a lot more outreach to talk about the benefits of solar power,” Cochiti Pueblo solarizes Gene Ka-hee tells SFR. Ka-hee, enviHahn Center with the ronmental technician and general ashelp of New Energy sistance program manager at Cochiti Economy Pueblo, heard about New Energy Economy’s Sol Not Coal Program about two years ago, and began taking the early steps toward solarizing one building in the Pueblo. New Energy Economy, a nonprofit B Corporation, uses a two-pronged strategy: chipping away at what they call the root cause of climate change (extractive energy) through legislation, plus community solarization projects like the one Cochiti Pueblo embarked upon. The organization raised the funds through grants, crowdfunding campaigns and private donors, while Ka-hee spent a significant amount of time researching which building was the best candidate based on age and an electrical study conducted with records from PNM. Ka-hee finally settled on the Hahn Center, the Pueblo’s multipurpose community hub, bringing his findings to the Tribal Council accompanied by Cochiti Pueblo environmental technician Gene Ka-hee (right) New Energy Economy Excelebrates bringing solar to his town with the assist from New ecutive Director Mariel Energy Economy alongside buildings and maintanence Nanasi. personnel Anthony Trujillo.
Nanasi, a civil rights and criminal defense attorney, is a hardliner who leads the organization’s legal interventions (challenging PNM on a number of grounds, for instance) and defines New Energy Economy’s role in Northern New Mexico as bringing solarization “to people of color communities who’ve been left out of the solar revolution.” The money saved on utility bills, she continues, “can be repurposed for that community in a way that aligns with their values.” Ka-hee describes the Tribal Council at Cochiti as “really impressed,” and though a resolution was passed, it wasn’t until January of this year that things really got rolling. The panels are now up and the Pueblo celebrates the installation on April 20 as part of an Earth Day event also geared toward garnering awareness about another environmental burr in the community: solid waste and illegal dumping. The solarization at Cochiti Pueblo, a Keresan-speaking tribe of about 500 residents roughly 25 miles south of Santa Fe, is the biggest project New Energy Economy has funded to date, with 144 roof mount panels recently installed. That’s more than triple that of other projects. Other organizations that have been solarized include the Crownpoint Chapter House in the Navajo Nation, Pueblo of Tesuque’s Taytsugeh Oweengeh Intergenerational Center and Community Garden, Zona del Sol on Santa Fe’s Southside, Monte Vista Organic Farm in the Española Valley, and Tewa Women United, also in Española. New Energy Economy has also helped solarize a number of fire departments in Tesuque and Chimayó and Fire Station #3 in Santa Fe. During the Nixon administration, the Four Corners Area, where a large amount of coal mining and other extractive industries take place, was designated a national sacrifice zone—an area
that is considered to be lost to the damages of industry and extraction. The consequences have indeed been manifold, even as plants begin to shut down. “Since 2008, average residential [utility] rates have gone up 62 percent,” Nanasi says, with rate payers footing the bill for infrastructural costs, maintenance, decommissioning and declamation of coal plants, contamination, and of course electricity. But with solar, once the panels are installed and paid off, there are no long-term costs and thus, she says, no “perverse incentive to continue to invest in archaic modes of energy production.” There are some downsides to solar, however, namely that precious metals must be mined as materials for the panels. Meanwhile, at the Celebration for Earth Day in Cochiti, Ka-hee says he plans to display enlarged versions of past and recent utility bills, which should reflect the new energy savings, to compare them in front of the community. Pueblo officials and Nanasi are scheduled to give speeches, and there are planned dances and presentations about recycling. Kahee also plans to lead an ongoing “Recycle-Bowl” program, part of the initiative Keep America Beautiful, through nearby Keres Elementary School. Ka-hee doesn’t know how much the power bill might drop, but it’s clear that solarizing is part of a long game. And if there’s a cloudy day, he says he expects to connect back to the grid. Otherwise, when the sun shines generously, as it often does, energy can be sold back to PNM. “When we make our prayers,” Ka-hee says, “we make them for the universe, world and waters, and to keep all in balance, healthy and clean even before we pray for people.” CELEBRATION FOR EARTH DAY 10 am-2 pm Friday April 20. Free. Hahn Center, Highway 22, Cochiti Pueblo. For info, call New Energy Economy: 989-7262.

On It Been to Sarawak? Me neither. It’s a region in Borneo, home to a tribe called the Iban, who live along the water in communal longhouses. Along with fantastically ornate ikat textiles, beadwork is a specialty of the Iban. A particularly jaw-dropping display features a 20th-century wedding costume comprised of hundreds of strands of draped beads, threaded to form colorful patterns; at its center is a strip of semi-opaque, tube-shaped carnelian beads, most likely from India. The item’s “train” is a long panel which runs vertically down the bride’s back, its bottom bor-

awaii, the most remote archipelago on the planet, is only home to a few hundred species, all of which reached the isolated paradise thanks to chance. A whopping 75 percent of the island chain’s now-native flowering plants actually got there in seed form, thanks to birds. In other cases, cyclones ripped through South Pacific islands with such force that they actually uprooted seeds and eggs from their natural, bornhere-all-my-life habitats, flinging them thousands of miles across the sea. Though tiny—sometimes infuriatingly tiny, as anyone who’s ever strung a necklace will tell you—beads are not, of course, transported as organically as, say, fruit flies, but they too have unlikely origin stories. Like seeds and larvae, beads have crisscrossed the earth for millennia, destined to be embedded, literally and figuratively, into the fabric of where they land. So how do Murano glass beads from Venice, for example, end up on a headdress in Wyoming? In the vast majority of cases, we’ll never know specifics, but we can still learn a lot about a culture by studying how its artisans decorated their sacred items. The Museum of International Folk Art’s show Beadwork Adorns the World, which opens this Sunday, was curated by Marsha Bol, who also authored the exhibit’s accompanying book. During a recent visit to the museum, Director Khristaan Villela and Curator of Textiles and Dress Carrie Hertz led me into a storage room where nearly 250 items were carefully tagged and arranged, ready for installation. The excitement surrounding a show of this scale, which has been three years in the making and will be up through early 2019, is contagious. “We pretty much covered the entire globe,” Hertz says, “but wanted to group things according to theme, not region.” This means a stone-encrusted silver necklace from Iran might be displayed next to a hammered silver necklace of Mexican origin.
der sewn with bells which clang noisily, announcing her arrival. It’s impressively ornate, and also must be super heavy and somewhat unwieldy to wear. “There are actually stories,” Hertz remarks, “of brides sinking boats because they were so weighted down with beads.” African artwork—which, incidentally, is woefully undershown in Santa Fe—is marvelously represented here. A mid20th century Nigerian fly whisk, covered in mind-boggling arrangements of rainbow-hued beads, is topped with a tuft of horse hair, and though the object is nominally functional, it’s also symbolic. Yoruba leaders would use it as a sort of wand-like instrument, urging followers to speak up, or simply to indicate authority. A Zulu outfit from Durban, South Africa, on loan from the Fowler Museum at UCLA, includes a 7-foot-long headdress.
Look at this stunning wedding costume from the Iban, a tribe from a remote area of Borneo. Look at it!
“It was designed and worn by Zulu rickshaw pullers after the city government required them to wear uniforms,” Hertz explains. “I love that the workers transformed this edict into an opportunity for creative grandiosity, inventing something flamboyant, but nevertheless inspired by traditional Zulu design.” Those of us familiar with Southwestern Pueblo jewelry have seen the delicate, whisper-thin heishe beads typical of regional tribes, but we may not be as aware of Plains Indians beadwork traditions. A pair of baby moccasins, thought to be from the Cheyenne or Lakota nations, is meticulously patterned with seed beads, which cover even the soles of the shoes. According to Bol’s text, moccasins this extravagant were indicators of an especially beloved child, whose status was announced during a Hunka ceremony. “This lifetime designation committed the favored child to take personal responsibility throughout its life for the welfare of others,” she writes. The material most synonymous with beads is surely glass, and that’s plentiful here, but there are also sequins, drilled bones and cowry shells. There are beads made of coins, coral and even whole cloves. Accouterments of course include thread and rope, but also tanned hide, leopard fangs, orangutan teeth and elephant tail hair. Something that seems to be consistent across multiple traditions is the use of brilliant, bold color. “In many cultures, white is worn during mourning—but color,” Hertz says, “is life.” What makes this show so genuinely compelling is that it encourages us not only to learn more about other people, but also to question what we know—or, more probably, what we think we know about cultures other than our own. Before process or even style, Beadwork Adorns the World is concerned with people, each of whom, after all, contain their own mysterious, colorful universes. The show will be up for almost a year, so take a quiet Sunday (or the first Sunday of the month, when all four of Museum Hill’s organizations are free to New Mexico residents) to stroll through. The museum, which is the largest of its kind in the world, hosts rotating exhibits as well as the truly extraordinary permanent installation of globe-spanning objects collected by artist and designer Alexander Girard.

Background: I, a 21-year-old male, enjoy receptive fisting. I’ve also had constipation problems all my life. Question: I saw my doctor recently, and he tried to link my enjoyment of anal sex to my constipation. (Granted, I didn’t tell him EVERYTHING I do down there.) My understanding was that there was no causal relationship, assuming no serious injuries occur. Is there something I don’t know? Was my doctor just trying to be helpful? -Fearing Inner Sanctum Tarnished “There are many myths about anal sex, but this is the first time I’ve heard this one,” said Dr. Peter Shalit, a physician in Seattle and a member of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association. It’s also the first time I’ve heard anyone associate fisting with constipation—typically when fisting is mentioned in the same sentence as constipation, FIST, it’s as a cure. But it’s a myth that fisting cures constipation, of course, along with anal sex being inherently dangerous. “Fisting is a safe activity, provided that both the top and bottom are sober at the time,” said Dr. Shalit. “It does not cause damage or constipation or any other type of bowel problem. The same applies to other anal sexual activities including anal receptive intercourse (getting fucked) and use of toys (dildos, vibrators, etc.) for anal stimulation—again assuming this is voluntary on the part of the bottom and that both partners are not under the influence of mind-altering drugs during sexual activity.” (For safety’s sake, of course, buttfuckers should use condoms and gay and bi men get should get on PrEP.) While many people engage in anal play while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and most emerge unscathed, uninfected, and un-constipated, FIST, getting fucked up before fisting is not a butt sex best practice. A fuckedup top can quickly become an out-of-control top, and a fucked-up bottom can be numb to feelings of discomfort that mean “slow down,” “stop and add more lube,” or “stop altogether.” Despite the fact that millions of people safely engage in anal play, many people believe that anal play does irreparable harm to the anus—or the soul—and that sadly includes many doctors. “There is a misconception that these activities can cause damage by stretching or tearing the tissue, when actually the anus is very elastic and much of the ‘permission to enter’ actually involves intentional relaxation of the muscles by the bottom” and not force applied by the top, Dr. Shalit affirmed. (The top applies gentle pressure, the bottom breathes, relaxes, and opens up.) “If a person suffers from constipation, that should be addressed as its own problem and not blamed on any type of anal sexual activity,” said Dr. Shalit. “In addition: For obvious reasons, it’s not fun to bottom if you’re constipated, so it would be good to have this problem evaluated and treated by a nonjudgmental health-care provider who understands that anal penetration—by fist, penis, or dildo—does not cause constipation.” Finally, FIST, your doctor was misinformed, which is not helpful. If you don’t feel comfortable telling your doctor EVERYTHING you’re doing “down there,” you can find a new doctor—one you can breathe, relax, and open up to (in a different way)—under “find a provider” at GLMA.org. I’m a 35-year old straight male, engaged to my girlfriend of eight years. While we have a good sex life, she often won’t let me finger or lick her. When she does, she enjoys it and easily climaxes while receiving oral sex. But her higher brain functions get in the way, as

she has internalized our culture’s body shaming. She has likened me “sticking my nose down there” to “sticking my head in the toilet.” Whenever I sexy-talk about licking her, she reacts with a mood killing “eww.” But she says she would enjoy it if she could let me. I can’t make heads or tails of it! When we have sex, she cuts foreplay short and gets straight to penetration. Since her pussy is not yet fully aroused and wet, we use lube and I climax long before she does. She feels pleasure and moans, but she really does not value her own orgasm. But I do, and I miss seeing her climax! I wish I could help her overcome her body issues—but when I “use my words,” she feels pressured and can’t relax. I am at a loss. Please help! -Loves Inhibited Carnal Killjoy You could go with a grand, romantic, and slightly demented gesture, LICK: clean the toilet and then stick your head in it to make a point about cleanliness making all the difference—and since the vagina is a self-cleaning organ and your girlfriend showers (so her labia, clit, taint, and butt are clean), you should be able to stick your nose down there. Or you could use your words—but don’t use them when you’re about to have sex, LICK. Do it at a neutral time (a time when you can’t have sex), so she doesn’t feel like you’re attempting to initiate by raising the subject. First, ask her if she enjoyed oral when she allowed you to go down on her. (Remember, the fact that she climaxed isn’t proof that she enjoyed it. Her orgasm is a physiological response; her pleasure is a combo of psychological responses and physiological responses.) If oral is pleasurable for her when she can allow you to go down on her, figure out what was different about those times. Had she just stepped out of the shower? Was she a little tipsy or high? Did you go down there without asking, which didn’t give her higher brain functions/inhibitions a chance to kick in? (Please note: Not asking isn’t an option for new partners or new moves.) If you can figure out what worked and why—freshly showered, mildly buzzed, no questions asked—you won’t have to stick your head in the toilet to prove a point. My boyfriend and I just got back from Berlin, and we had a great time—until the last night. There was a dark room in the basement of this gay bar, and my boyfriend wanted to check it out and I did not. We are monogamous for now—I’m open to opening things up down the road—and I didn’t see the point of going down there. I told him that drunk in a gay bar at 3 a.m. wasn’t the right time to open up our relationship, and he angrily insisted he wasn’t trying to do that. But if we’re monogamous and want to stay monogamous, why go into a dark room at all? -Dude Into Monogamy If it was your boyfriend’s intent to reopen negotiations about monogamy while horny men circled you in a dark room, DIM, that wouldn’t be okay. But it is possible for monogamous couples to enter sexually charged environments like dark rooms, sex parties, or swingers clubs and emerge with their monogamous commitments intact. It’s advisable even—or at least I’ve advised monogamous couples who want to keep things hot to visit those kinds of spaces. Go in for the erotic charge, soak it up, and plow that energy into each other. So next time, go down there. You might have to bat a few hands away, but once the other guys realize you two aren’t there for anyone else, they’ll turn their attentions to others who are.

It’s not every day that students from multiple high schools come together and work together, but for the upcoming first annual Youthquake event (various times ThursdaySunday April 19-April 22. Free or $8, depending on event. youthquakesf.com) at Violet Crown Cinema (1606 Alcaldesa St., 216-5678) and Studio Center of Santa Fe (1614 Paseo de Peralta, 989-4423), that’s exactly what happened. Created at Desert Academy and including students from Santa Fe High, New Mexico School for the Arts, Santa Fe Prep and others, Youthquake highlights the artistic efforts of local teens in a variety of media, and we caught up with organizer and Desert Academy film department head Jake Mulliken to get the lowdown. (Alex De Vore) Where’d the idea come from? I, for one, thought the traditional school arts thing was kind of lame. It was almost like showing up to church—you sit there, you see it, you leave. I’ve done something like this before, but I submitted a grant to the Skylark Foundation in Los Angeles, and originally it was supposed to be, like, a day-long art binge with movies and galleries and stuff. But I got in cahoots with Kim Langbecker from the board at Studio Center, and it turned into this five-day arts event. That was the goal for three years down the road. The real goal with this thing was not to just give Desert Academy a chance, but ... schools in general are really bad at working together, so the idea behind this format was to create a social arts curriculum. The goal is to still, in the next three years, have films up from every school in New Mexico and have an annual week-long New Mexico high school film festival.

The best way to describe it would be ‘eclectic.’ We’ve got some really solid animation and experimental shorts. Students have done everything from focusing on certain techniques; we’ve got a zombie flick, some homages to The Twilight Zone, some ridiculous attempts at comedy. I made the excellent call of showing them David Lynch. We’ve got some really cool abstract, surrealist flicks, too. Did you learn anything new during the process? It’s always kind of interesting that the times I’ve stopped teaching and gone to produce my own stuff with adults, it’s always really frustrating. But the kids, some of them have been doing this their entire childhoods, so they have the skills, but they don’t have the bad habits. There’s not a lot of fear there. They’re willing to takes risks and swing for the fences. It was really cool to watch them and think, ‘Y’know, maybe I should be less rigid in my own work.’ The real thing I learned was to just have fun and go for it.

A Taste of Vintage Italia MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN
New food truck offers classically styled pizza at Santa Fe Brewing Company BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
he Santa Fe Brewing Company continues to expand its offerings by playing host to a new food truck called Bruno’s, an independently owned satellite operation separate from the brewery itself. Painted jet-black with a highlighted portrait of a young man from the 1920s—a tribute to the grandfather of the family who owns it—the truck aims to offer an Italian street food experience that seems almost anachronistic against the backdrop of highway and endless skies that is the Brewing Company’s purview. Siblings Angelo and Angelica opreate Bruno’s with a concept inspired by the late family patriarch, Giordano Bruno. He emigrated to America from Milan in the ’20s, but his parents hailed from Tuscany and Naples, respectively. Equipped with an arsenal of recipes local to his family’s origin points, including that most famous culinary offering from Naples, the Neapolitan pizza, he found work as a chef first in Chicago and then New York. Inspired by the vibrant Italian-American food culture of both cities, Giordano made it his mission to bring a similar ethos to the Southwest. Eventually, he settled in Salida, Colorado, and opened a small pool hall with a speakeasy in a secret back room. There he’d continue his love for authentic Italian food, both for the sake of the public and in his home and hearth. The Brunos of today recall Sunday dinners with their grandfather where he taught them how to make everything from
Margherita with sun-dried tomatoes and basil? Audible gasp!
scratch. This included various kinds of sauces, pasta, gelato, sorbetto, cannoli and biscotti. “We learned everything growing up,” says Angelo. “Our sauces, sandwiches and pizza are all versions of our grandfather’s recipes. We took the best parts of what he taught us and turned it into a menu.” The recipes used by the Brunos have been tweaked slightly since then, and you’ll find the truck at the Santa Fe Brewing Company most often, although it do sometimes parks outside the Shift New Mexico dispensary (24 Bisbee Court, 438-1090). The family operates two main trucks, one equipped with a wood-fired oven and another with an espresso machine imported from Italy, a keg for nitro-style coffee and a machine that makes granitas, a dessert with Sicilian origins. The oven was also imported from Italy and is attached to a small trailer, around which a mobile outdoor kitchen
has been constructed where the pizzas are prepared. It weighs over 10,000 pounds and temperatures inside reach 800 degrees, cooking a pizza in 90 seconds. The Brunos plan to expand their operation to include a third truck called Bruno’s Speakeasy Oxygen Bar, at which they hope to offer espresso and oxygen. The main truck, called Bruno’s Wood Fired Pizza Bar, serves Neapolitan-style pizza, stromboli, calzones, bread sticks and, occasionally, a selection of sandwiches that changes every so often. The pizzas are certified by the American branch of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (or AVPN), which was founded in 1984 in Naples to certify pizzerias that use the proper artisan techniques and traditions of making authentic Neapolitan pizza: kneading the dough by hand and using a highly refined Italian type of flour and fresh brewer’s
FOOD
yeast. All the ingredients, from the flour to the cheese, must be fresh, natural and from specific Italian origin points. In the case of Bruno’s, the pizza crust is made with traditional Caputo 00 flour, infused with Santa Fe Brewing Company’s Happy Camper IPA and topped off with Sicilian olive oil. The red sauce is made from San Marzano tomatoes imported from Italy (another requirement for Neapolitan certification), fresh organic tomatoes, olive oil and basil the Brunos grow themselves. “You don’t know what authentic Italian is until you taste it,” Angelo cautions. “We’ve never really thought about it too much, but that’s what we’ve always eaten and always made.” The final product is a pizza unlike anything else in Santa Fe, more in keeping with something you’d find in a deli in New York (the Brunos also do a New York-style thin-crust pizza for private events and catering, but they stick to the Neapolitan style for the Brewing Company’s public). The crust is fresh, light and airy, but the middle is satisfyingly soggy with sauce. Traditionally, Neapolitan pizzas are so wet in the middle they can’t be served by the slice or made larger than 12 inches wide, but the Brunos make their version at 14 inches and a little bit more accessible in terms of the sauce-to-cheese ratio. I tried the margherita ($13.50), topped with sun-dried tomatoes, green chile and pepperoni. It was truly a pleasurable fusion of influences to experience such a classic Italian style of pizza topped with New Mexican green chile. I also sampled the handmade cannoli ($3 each), a tube of flaky dough stuffed with a creamy and sugary ricotta-based filling. These were delicious, although I personally could have done without the neon-red maraschino cherries. But who am I to argue with a family tradition?

BEST MOVIE EVER
Dwayne Johnson goes apeshit 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
OK, hear me out: Rampage, based on the ’80s arcade game of the same name, ain’t that bad. Oh, it’s dumb alright, no question, from beginning to end. But at its core you’ll basically find an overthe-top Godzilla-like movie—and there’s nothing wrong with that, at least not in the summertime blockbuster sense. Dwayne Johnson is Davis Okoye, a soldier-turned-primatologist for the San Diego Zoo. Davis doesn’t much care for people because of something-or-other about poachers he used to hunt for the Army in his previous life (morality!), but he totally gets along with his albino gorilla pal George (friendship!), possibly because George knows ASL and has a weird sense of humor (complexity!), possibly because Johnson is not entirely unlike a gorilla himself (muscles!). Either way, it’s bad news when a black ops science project carried out in space (not kidding) crash lands to Earth, transforming George into a towering behemoth of an ape with rage issues who—get this—goes on a total rampage across heartland America and Chicago. Elsewhere, other fallout from the space-based experiments winds up mutating a wolf and a croc-

odile. They also rampage, with their particular mutations providing them with super powers, like flight or spikes they can shoot out of their bodies or super speed; George, meanwhile, just gets huge. What a ripoff. Turns out the culprit is some mega-corp run by an evil sister-brother team (Watchmen’s Malin Akerman and Jake Lacy of The Office), who both suck so hard in this movie it’s particularly notable. Lucky, though, a beautiful geneticist named Kate (Naomie Harris) who was tricked into developing the rampage-inducing experiment (which was in space, remember) teams up with Johnson to stop the, um, rampaging. Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead) also appears as some shadowy government operative, but his role is literally just him saying stuff like “whirlybird” and “grandpappy” and “this old cowboy” while The Rock is busy asking monsters if they can smell what he’s cooking.
You bet your ass they can. Explosions ensue. Everyone runs places. Helicopters are flown, guns are fired and, like the game itself, buildings are punched into piles of rubble. And then, in a way that isn’t so much subtext as it is a tacked-on, barely-there sentiment, we get the idea that humans don’t always treat animals very nicely. We probably should, lest we become victims of a rampage. Still, there’s no denying Dwayne Johnson’s immutable charm, and not every movie can be Citizen Kane. In fact, sometimes we just gotta see gigantic beasts tear shit up. Rampage, if you will. Note: Rampage also comes in 3-D, though SFR saw the standard version. RAMPAGE Directed by Brad Payton With Johnson, Harris, Morgan, Akerman and Lacy Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 107 min.

John Krasinski and these damn kids shut their damn mouths in A Quiet Place.
+ CLEVER IDEA; BLUNT AND
KRASINSKI SURPRISINGLY RIVETING
- “OH, C’MON!” MOMENTS
John Krasinski dons his writer, director and actor caps for A Quiet Place, a sort of hybrid horror/sci-fi flick set in post-apocalyptia that finds a man and his family forced into constant silence to stay alive. Mysterious creatures have appeared in Farmland, USA, and seeing as they’re blind, they navigate and hunt by sound—kind of like bats, only not adorable. Krasinski’s clan thus adopts a million neat survival tricks to stay ahead of the game. It’s a simple but smart idea, from the clever pathways laid with sand to the series of color-changing lightbulbs strung up around the farm to soundlessly warn of imminent danger. Krasinski plumbs surprisingly moving emotional depths as a father facing loss who must also prepare his kids for the new world order. Ditto for Emily Blunt, also his real-world wife, who conveys terror sans dialogue in very meaningful and downright stressful ways. The children (Noah Jupe, Suburbicon, and Millicent Simmonds, Wonderstruck) are another story

altogether, both in terms of the hammy expressions they lean into and the annoying plot lines with which they’re saddled. Jupe is fine as the token “I’m a-scared!” kid, but Simmonds is particularly bothersome as a melodramatic pre-teen who is deaf (handy, though, since the entire family knows sign language because of it) and definitely blames herself for the film’s harrowing opening sequence. While believable that a young girl would be defiant and moody and self-absorbed, it feels false that she would prioritize these feelings over, say, continuing to breathe. Regardless, both Krasinski and Blunt nail the family dynamic, demonstrating just how far a parent would go to protect their brood. The creature, meanwhile, is the true star of A Quiet Place—a spookily designed monstrosity that harks back to creature-feature horror while asserting its own identity, even if it does owe a debt of gratitude to movie monsters from classics like Alien and Predator. Krasinski and company must be commended for keeping the monster under wraps in the trailers, and trust us—it’s definitely scary. Still, the ultimate resolution isn’t quite as satisfying as it could be, and the no-sound shtick

+ IMPRESSIVE IN SCOPE - ANDERSON’S MOVIES TEND TO FEEL SAME-Y
Wes Anderson’s shtick can come across as cutesy or far too awash in pastel precociousness. However, his stop-motion features—such as 2009’s Fantastic Mr. Fox—don’t succumb to this problem, at least not in the same ways. Cue Isle of Dogs, Anderson’s newest animated effort and one of the most clever and entertaining films of the year. In the not-too-distant future, the Japanese city of Megasaki is overrun with dog flu, an affliction that has made its way to the vast majority of canines, which results in the mayor decreeing every last one be sent to Trash Island, an offshore trash dumping ground otherwise lost to natural disasters. Most of the city’s denizens have been brainwashed by propaganda, save the idealistic students of a local high school’s newspaper and the mayor’s young nephew Atari (Koyu Rankin), who sets off in search of his own dog Spots who was marooned on the island some months ago. There, formerly domesticated dogs, show dogs, stray dogs and mutts eke out a bleak existence, fighting over trash scraps and contaminated water, all while pining for their former lives and loves. Favorite meals are remembered, cushy living situations are recounted and the desperately formed packs observe primitive democracies, unable to choose a singular alpha. Perhaps the greatest moment of Isle of Dogs comes with the realization that the dogs are far more human than those who’ve placed them on Trash Island. Stellar voice work from Ed Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Murray and Bob Balaban truly sells the concept, but Bryan Cranston as Chief is untouchable. Cranston’s ability to sell proud-yetbroken with just his voice speaks volumes about his acting skills, though the design of the dogs is also brilliant, right down to the way their fur blows in the wind. Trash Island itself is smartly designed, conveying utter loneliness despite a population that consistently reveals itself across varying locales such as an abandoned amusement park, an overgrown golf course and the barren coast. Only the dogs speak English and, other than a few scenes with interpreters, the Japanese dialogue is not subtitled. This is a genius move, as we can use context to derive meaning without being led by the hand and it preserves the dogs as the story’s true heroes. We fall in love with Cranston’s Chief and root
tirelessly for Atari, all while culturally impactful and tactfully represented moments highlight Japan’s art, food and daily life with subtlety and grace. It might be too soon to say this is the best film of the year, but Isle of Dogs is a strong contender and should not be missed under any circumstances. (ADV) Violet Crown, PG-13, 111 min.

+ LOOKS SOOOO COOL; EXCITING - WHY THEY GOTTA PIGEON-HOLE NERDS LIKE THAT?!
For nerds, it’s going to be hard to not feel personally attacked, capitalized upon or made fun of by the next-level pandering at play in Spielberg’s Ready Player One, adapted from the Ernest Cline novel of the same name. Somehow, though, among the literally countless Easter eggs and cutesy reminders of the nerd properties loved by children and (as the film beats us over the head with) supposedly stunted adults, lies one of the finest uses of CGI in modern film bogged down by a simplistic paint-by-numbers story about how love was the real treasure the whole time. In futuristic Ohio—which is somehow the most advanced place on the planet— young Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan, X-Men Apocalypse) lives out his Charlie Bucket-esque existence by escaping into the OASIS, a bonkers virtual reality world created by a couple of nerds who are, respectively, dead and missing. One such nerd (the dead one) announced there was a secret game within the game upon his
We had a similar “oh, wow” expression while screening Isle of Dogs.
death, the winner of which would take over the OASIS and be so totally super-rich it’s nuts. Thus, Wade—who goes by Parzival online—and the other Gunters (a term that sounds filthy as fuck, but simply applies to Easter egg hunters and players of said secret game) spend their days searching for clues. Of course, over the years since the creator’s death, no one has found anything—until now, when everybody starts finding everything all the damn time, thrusting Wade into a shadow war with the IOI, a shady company that wants control of the OASIS for itself. The rest plays out like a combination of Willy Wonka and a fashion nerd’s wet dream as licensing from dozens of gaming, film, music and toy properties pops up everywhere. At all times. Relentlessly. Sheridan is A-OK as the young Wade though, since we mostly spend time with his anime-like avatar, we never really get a feel for him. Same goes for the clan (a gaming term; Google it) he reluctantly joins, which includes flat performances from no-name kids and Master of None star/scribe Lena Waithe. No matter, though, since their dialogue is generally a bunch of pap about how hard their lives have been and/or references to nerd stuff. Wade’s love interest, Art3mis (Olivia Cooke, Bates Motel), is just fine as well, though we’ll hand it to her for being a mostly strong character with clear-cut motivations of her own … y’know, outside of Wade.
Yes, Ready Player One looks incredible, and yes, those of a certain age will feel that pang of nostalgia when they see characters from Gundam, Godzilla, Halo, Overwatch or The Iron Giant doing crazy crap to hit songs of the 1980s while toys like Madballs or things like Monty Python’s Holy Hand Grenade pop up. But when certain nerds are diluted into clumsy-with-women, gaming-obsessed and antisocial weirdos who shit on their friends for having dared to miss out on any pop culture reference whatsoever, one can’t help but feel Cline, and by extension, Spielberg, have a fairly narrow, mainstream view of the culture. Methinks Cline wanted to convey Wade (or himself) heroically, when he’s really just onedimensional at best. Ah well, at least they gave one character a gun from Gears of War without making a big-ass deal out of it. And it’s pretty. The end. (ADV) Jean Cocteau Cinema, Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 140 min.

evalleyshelter.org • petango.com/espanola Bart came to us having been through what was most likely and attack by a larger dog. He was in very bad shape physically and emotionally for a while, but has now been treated, and is well on the road to recovery! As a result of this experience, he’s been a bit timid, but he comes out of his shell more and more every day and will make a sweet companion in a home with other small dog (he loves small dog company!) or as a solo dog to folks looking for a sweet snuggler! He gets very protective over his handler so caution must be taken.
Bart
A little d u d e with an attitude — that’s Hank! Seriously, he’s a chi with a sweet side, but it takes a bit of time for him to let you see it. Hank is about 3 and a half years old. He’s had some experiences with children that were not positive, so it’s left him a bit scared and snappy with them. Hank gets along great with other small dogs his size, so he would thrive in that adults-only home who love their sassy little dogs! Please give Hank a chance.

film, The Death of Stalin—which may just be one of the darkest comedies ever made—doesn’t even bother. We join the top brass of Russia circa 1953, a time when comrade Stalin’s lust for power made him paranoid and kill lists were the nightly norm. Here, his top men work hard at assuaging the man, staying up too late watching cowboy movies and enlisting their wives as sounding boards for what drunken banter plays well with their fearful leader. But when Stalin takes ill and the likes of Kruschev (Steve Buscemi), Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor) and Beria (Simon Russell Beale) enter a power vacuum, hilarity and all hell break loose, making for some of the most cringe-worthy and excellently funny writing we’ve ever seen. Stalin ultimately proves a wild and capable farce, with powerful and self-absorbed yet pitiful and ridiculous men each attempting to grasp power before their colleagues. An early sequence that finds various Russian ministers forced to admit they’ve either imprisoned or killed their country’s best doctors, thereby making suitable aid for Stalin impossible, is particularly hysterical as each flounders to justify the absurd shape of things. Buscemi shines particularly in these moments, a bit of a toad whose story we all (of course) know, but a terrified boob grasping for self-preservation. Tambor wows as well, taking a more idiotic yet soft tack as Stalin’s deputy who maybe just wanted to fly under the radar but obviously can’t anymore. And the madness grows and twists until we hate pretty much everyone even as we might understand how they created such dire straits for themselves. All the while, Iannucci’s keen sensibilities throttle the movie forward, rarely taking a beat and relentlessly bringing the laughs. Will you feel guilty for some of the things you find funny? Absolutely. But so enjoyably you won’t much care. Do not miss this movie. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, Violet Crown, R, 107 min. BLACK PANTHER

+ CULTURALLY IMPACTFUL; BADASS WOMEN
- HEAVIER STUFF LOST IN THE NOISE
Someplace between the joyous celebration of all things African culture and the tremendous principal cast of all black actors in Black Panther lies a fairly run-of-the-mill comic book movie narrative, but it almost seems at this point that if we’re hitting any Marvel Studios movie in search of the non-formulaic, we’re going to be sorely disappointed. We enter the fictional African nation of Wakanda as its prince, the mighty T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman, 42), is set to take the throne following his father’s murder (which you may have seen in Captain America: Civil War). For hundreds of years Wakanda has thrived thanks to the also-fictional vibranium, a metal so precious and powerful that it can make any far-fetched sci-fi dreams come true; a metal that just so happens to exist only there. Up until now, pretty much no outsiders have entered Wakanda, but when a mysterious former US soldier (Michael B Jordan, Creed) starts poking around and trying to find his way in for nefarious reasons, T’Challa must confront heavy truths about his country, his people and the heartbreaking past of African Americans. Fill things out with utterly badass women like Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Okoye (Danai Gurira), and we’re really getting somewhere. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, Black Panther is a complete triumph. The costuming and hair, the production design and, frankly, the hot-as-fire score and soundtrack (thanks for the hit jams, Kendrick Lamar!) are all glorious.

White nerd in your 30s? Ready Player One wants to impress you so badly.
Where it falters, however, is in its attempts at a deep story. At the very edges of the action lies surface information about colonization and racism, but we never dive deep enough into these concepts in any meaningful way. Rather, they’re mentioned briefly between kickass fight scenes which, yes, are kickass, but how refreshing and potentially valuable it might be to see a comic book film dissect something real. Still, the requisite explosions and shaky morality plays are there, along with the always-fantastic character actor Andy Serkis. Perhaps director-writer Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station) is simply dipping his toes into the concept of a heavier (or more grounded) direction, and we really hope he gets there with a sequel. For now, though, Black Panther is still a gorgeous film and the most culturally significant Marvel outing to date—that’s something all on its own. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 134 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of April 18th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the early history of the automobile, electric engines were more popular and common than gasoline-powered engines. They were less noisy, dirty, smelly, and difficult to operate. It’s too bad that thereafter the technology for gasoline cars developed at a faster rate than the technology for electric cars. By the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, the petroleum-suckers were in ascendance. They have remained so ever since, playing a significant role in our world’s ongoing environmental degradation. Moral of the story: Sometimes the original idea or the early model or the first try is better. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should consider applying this hypothesis to your current state of affairs.
Lynch incorporated the tune anyway. Surprise! Blue Velvet was nominated for an Academy Award and played a big role in reviving Orbison’s fame. Later the singer came to appreciate not only the career boost, but also Lynch’s unusual aesthetic, testifying that the film gave his song an “otherworldly quality that added a whole new dimension.” Now let’s meditate on how this story might serve as a parable for your life. Was there an opportunity that you once turned down but will benefit from anyway? Or is there a current opportunity that maybe you shouldn’t turn down, even if it seems odd?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve been to the Land of No Return and back more than anyone. But soon you’ll be visiting a remote enclave in this realm that TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Chesapeake Bay is a you’re not very familiar with.
