COVER, JUNE 20: “OVERLOOKED AND WRITTEN OFF”
HOPE FOR THE SYSTEM The entire prison system is barbaric, counter productive and detrimental to society and those in the system from inmates to employees. I certainly want those convicted be reformed into good, moral and productive members of society. That said and wished for, I also want the prisoners to make full restitution to those harmed by their crime! It is necessary for the effects of their crime to be fully repaired before they are also repaired as a person. My hope is that they get paid a small amount for their use in prison, but the majority of compensation to go those injured—including the financial burden of legal fees both to the inmate and the victim ... Our system punishes but does not reform people in it. Perhaps if we have faith that all have been reformed we will accept them back with less reserve.

City leaders say it’s a road map, but is it more like leftover blueprints from a heist?

he audit was five months late. Delayed three times. It’s been nearly a year, and the city just closed its books on the 2017 fiscal year ending last June. City Hall knew it wouldn’t be pretty and worked hard to get ahead of the ugly findings. But knowing something ugly is coming doesn’t make the first public glimpse of it less horrifying. The audit found egregious levels of financial tracking weakness across wide parts of Santa Fe’s government. While the city says it’s improving upon its past practices, the latest review coupled with the McHard fraud risk assessment released last fall shows there’s a very real chance the city has closed the barn doors after the cows have gone and no one knows how many are missing. There were so many red flags in the audit that it’s hard to know where to begin. According to State Auditor Wayne Johnson, the most serious issue is that the city can’t effectively track costs for construction projects. Every project in the city flows through a single person—a risky practice, said independent auditors from the firm CliftonLarsonAllen. The financial review found Santa Fe has difficulty keeping track of property as large as vehicles. City staff couldn’t even find water meters to prove that they were in place, as accounts claimed they were. Customer service (which Mayor Alan Webber wants to make a hallmark of his tenure) at the city’s water, sewer and trash services was sorely lacking. While some customers had been given credits by the utilities, they hadn’t been applied to balances, rendering them useless—and effectively ripping off the public. Someone erroneously credited a $1 million payment to a customer, and neither supervisors nor senior financial staff caught it. “The findings showcase some real deficiencies,” Webber said in a news release. “Taken as a whole with the McHard report, the audit gives
us the information we need to attack this problem head-on—to change the way city business is conducted.” Webber released a corrective action plan in advance of the audit that addressed the restructuring the city believes is needed in the Finance Department, including hiring for two new oversight positions. The city also plans to outsource auditing functions previously handled by an internal position. It’s in the process of hiring a firm that will conduct a risk assessment, develop an audit plan for up to 10 audits in the next year and complete the top item on that list. It’s also developing a plan for a forensic audit, which is designed to determine if money is missing from city accounts. As recently as last Wednesday, the city’s Audit Committee and acting finance director were expecting the audit to be released Monday, in line with standard practice at the Office of the State Auditor. But on Thursday evening at 5 pm, the city requested a waiver to allow it to release the audit on Friday. City leaders have already seen its findings, and the decision bore the hallmark of a Friday

Abysmal Audit
afternoon “news dump” tactic in which bad news is released right before the weekend, when the public is less focused on city matters. Despite repeated requests by SFR, a city spokesman didn’t make Webber available for an interview about the findings. The spokesman said the mayor met with city finance staff Friday morning and that there was no reason following the meeting to delay the audit’s release. JoAnne Vigil Coppler, the new city councilor from District 4, tells SFR that the audit wasn’t surprising. “We’ve been hearing about these things for some time now. To me, it’s more of the same,” Vigil Coppler says, adding that the audit shows the breadth of the work the city has to do once Mary McCoy, the new finance director, comes on board. “It’s going to take some time.” A former human resources director for the city, Vigil Coppler says she’s particularly concerned about the status of the city’s purchasing manager, who’s been on paid leave for nine months since the release of the McHard report.
NEWS
“I really don’t know a lot of detail, and I’m not sure I should know [about personnel details as a city councilor]. But to have someone on leave for so long concerns me, because somebody’s not addressing something there,” she tells SFR. Vigil Coppler plans to question senior staff about the lengthy suspension away from a public meeting—at least initially. District 1 Councilor Signe Lindell tells SFR it’s too early to assume a city employee has had their hand in the cookie jar, though there’s certainly been opportunity for it. The audit also contained some striking policy gaffes, including city employees who abandoned parking booths, cranking open the gates and letting people leave for free. The councilor says that should be low-hanging fruit. “Totally unacceptable,” Lindell says. “That’s a management issue and those are things that are good to know and pretty easy to fix.” Both Lindell and former councilor and Finance Committee chairman Carmichael Dominguez point out the city has had high turnover at the top of the Finance Department. When McCoy begins in July, Lindell says it will be her fourth finance director in four years. In its response to the audit, the city acknowledged financial management shortcomings, and also admitted that its tracking of construction projects was seriously flawed. Auditors weren’t able to test the category because the city didn’t have documentation to substantiate any of the costs for the selected project. They did not reveal which construction project it was. Auditors randomly chose 29 assets from the city’s inventory to test. One of those assets was never found. Another had been auctioned off seven years earlier but was still on city books. One couldn’t be identified as city property by a tag. Five city-owned vehicles didn’t have the right identifiers, including unmatched vehicle identification numbers and license plates. Tracking of city property was so lacking that city leaders refused to sign a letter affirming the current value of its inventory. The city’s 2018 fiscal year ends in less than two weeks, and officials must start this process all over again. Typically, the Office of the State Auditor considers such reviews delinquent if they’re not submitted by the middle of December.

Legislators on ICE
New Mexico could become among first states to seek oversight on immigration detention centers
LEFT: Cibola County Correctional Facility holds ICE detainees. BELOW: Members of the NM Dream Team protest outside the ICE offices in Albuquerque.
A
fter spending five months locked up inside two different Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) prisons in New Mexico, Manuel Gonzalez will soon be among the first ICE detainees in the country to have state legislators formally learn about his experience. On July 16 in Santa Fe, the New Mexico Legislature’s interim Courts, Corrections and Justice Committee will hold a hearing—an hour of which is reserved for public comment—on all private prisons in New Mexico that hold federal prisoners. A 51-year-old father of six, Gonzalez has lived in the United States for 38 years—decades he’s spent working in New Mexico’s oil and construction industries. According to his lawyer, Adriel Orozco of the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center, Gonzalez’ detention should never have taken place, given his long languishing application for residency. By the time Orozco could secure Gonzalez’ release in November 2017, he had been sent to the Cibola County Correctional Center, owned by private prison giant CoreCivic near Grants, and then transferred to the Otero County ICE Processing Center, operated near Alamogordo by another for-profit contractor, Management and Training Corporation (MTC). “It’s like being locked up like a dog in a pound,” Gonzalez tells SFR and New Mexico In Depth through an interpreter. “Life here in New Mexico outside of those centers is really calm,” he continues. “But
inside those centers, life is really ugly. Nothing you would ever wish on anyone.” During his time in both lock-ups, Gonzalez says guards wouldn’t give detainees water or access to basic medical care, or allow them to socialize or use blankets during the day—the cells were kept frigid. For a time, he says he slept in a space meant for 17 people in which there were 23. He rarely saw the sun, he says. And the nutrition was so poor that, with his diabetes, his hair began to fall out, his legs swelled and his feet went numb. “All of that is what they should see,” Gonzalez says, referencing New Mexico politicians. “I understand that it’s a prison, or whatever you want to call it. But, one should still be treated as a human being.” At the upcoming hearing, legislators will focus on the prisons which detain people charged with civil immigration violations like Gonzalez. The discussion could broaden at the July hearing and after, particularly given the ever-shifting landscape of the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy and how it may impact New Mexico. With lots of people who crossed the border recently facing criminal charges, an increasing number of migrants are being held in other private federal prisons in the state, under the custody of the US Marshals Service—including moth-
ers who’ve been separated from their children, as detailed in The New Yorker. Meanwhile, whether the opening of new family detention centers will apply to New Mexico, where ICE’s Artesia Family Residential Center closed in 2014 amid widespread reports of women and children facing horrendous conditions, remains an open question.
COURTESY NM DREAM TEAM
BY SARAH MACARAEG @seramak
Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas, an Albuquerque Democrat, has organized the hearing and invited the private companies and feds to participate. The hearing represents a rare move among politicians at the state level, anywhere in the country, to attempt to monitor federal operations in their communities. “To have hundreds or thousands of persons housed within the state of New Mexico that are not under the transparency of local elected officials: That’s not right,” Maestas says.
NEWS
“Even though we’re not federal officials,” says Maestas, “we have the ability to regulate all business within the state of New Mexico. And we need to know who is in what facilities and whether these persons have access to basic human essentials.” The hearing announcement comes as politicians have begun donating campaign contributions from private prison contractors to charitable causes, and it comes amid ongoing scandal surrounding medical care at Cibola. A petition seeking the release of an unnamed asylum seeker whose lawyers say he’s gone a year without treatment for tuberculosis has just been filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center—one month after a trans woman died of HIV-related complications soon after her transfer to Cibola. Representatives of both CoreCivic and MTC emailed that the companies work closely with ICE monitors whom they say work in full-time, on-site oversight roles at their respective facilities. Regional ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa did not answer questions on how many monitors are at each site, whether those monitors are accessible to detainees or if they speak Spanish. Asked whether the $4 billionvalued company would welcome the involvement of state officials in oversight, CoreCivic did not address the question. MTC asserted it would “welcome the opportunity to show how we accomplish our mission”—via site visits scheduled with ICE. In an unscheduled audit, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General found unsanitary conditions and the unjustified use of solitary at Otero in 2017. That’s on top of two in-custody deaths. In addition to its human cost, immigrant detention has become a multi million-dollar business in New Mexico. “It’s simply an inhumane industry that is profiting off of people who are looking for safety,” said Isaac De Luna, the 27-year-old political director of the activism group NM Dream Team. “This is going to be a key moment where our families are going to be able to tell elected officials in our state: This is not a national security issue. This is directly attacking families.” Paula Bui contributed interpretation to this report, which was jointly reported with New Mexico In Depth. COURTS, CORRECTIONS AND JUSTICE COMMITTEE HEARING 1-4 pm Monday July 16. State Capitol Building, Room 307, 490 Old Santa Fe Trail.

ou’ll often hear Santa Feans proudly announce that our community is an all-inclusive one where citizens, regardless of race, creed or gender identity may frolic together to their hearts’ content and free of persecution. Bullshit. We try our best, and perhaps we have served as a semi-safe bastion of acceptance throughout the decades—but, as with anything, there is still much work to be done and things can always improve. SFR is proud to do our small part, then, by bringing in local queer voices to tell their stories and provide their thoughts. Whether they’re lamenting the loss of a dedicated gay bar (page 16), examining their own perceptions of the annual Pride celebrations (page 17), running through a brief history of the art of drag (page 13) or painstakingly illustrating the penis in all its glory (page 15), it’s important that these voices be heard, perhaps now more than ever. This year’s Pride King and Queen chimed in in our first-ever double 3Qs (pages 29 and 33) and our Picks this week (page 21) break down the goings-on. New language is being built every day; new ideas are forming to replace the stodgy old ones. And if the dust ever does settle on a glorious new day who knows how many years from now, it will be clear who was on the right side of history—those who fought, those who loved and those who did what they could in pursuit of that one unalienable truth: We are all human beings and we all have a right to our existence, no matter who we are.

Drag 101 BY AUSTIN EICHELBERGER @austinsively
S
anta Fe’s long-running drag and variety troupe Jewel Box Cabaret recently disbanded, leaving Santa Fe with much less drag. For the uninitiated, in lieu of a semi-regular live show to catch, here’s a quick rundown of this long tradition of artistic craft and activism that has been both revered and reviled.
So WTF is Drag?
The history of drag is spotty because it was sometimes erased and sometimes never recorded, but the term itself is an acronym from the days of Shakespearean theater when it was considered indecent for a woman to appear onstage (a notion England shared with ancient China, Japan and Greece—all places where men played female roles). Folios from the time have been found with female roles labeled dr.a.g., or DRessed As Girl. Back then, performing as a female had no associations with sexuality, so these first drag performers weren’t ostracized. Some were even celebrated. Though there are conflicting histories of the term after that, the word eventually stuck for people who perform as a different gender than they express offstage. “Drag became a modern art form as ‘female impersonation’ when The Jewel Box Revue was formed in 1939 in New York City,” says Jewel Box Cabaret producer Linda Krauss, who named the Santa Fe show after that historic revue. Even before that in the US, Victorian-era Broadway audiences adored “Fanny and Stella” (born Frederick William Park and Thomas Ernest Boulton, respectively), and so-called male pansy performers exploded in popularity across major cities in the early 1930s. After the founding of The Jewel Box Revue, which lasted well into the ’90s, countless comedians have donned drag; performers like Holly Woodlawn and Candy Darling becoming underground stars in the 1960s and 1970s; the 1990s saw RuPaul rise to international fame that continues today. Today, a drag artist is someone who uses their body as a canvas to mimic and/ or comment on gender and gender roles— some even avoid reality altogether and create drag fantasies, larger-than-life looks and performances that show feelings about gender rather realistically express it. The current spectrum of drag is massive and diverse— there are even successful bio-queens, women who perform as drag queens to comment on their own gender.
A very abbreviated crash course
Every fan of drag must watch the documentaries The Queen, about a drag queen competition in the 1960s; Paris Is Burning, about drag balls in Harlem in the 1980s; and A Drag King Extravaganza, about a drag king convention in the 2000s. As Paris Is Burning shows, modern drag would not exist without performers of color, such as icons Stormé DeLarverie and Marsha P Johnson, many of whom have been hurt or killed in fights for freedom of expression and LGBTQ+ equality, but remain widely unknown and unrecognized.
Tools of the Trade
Obviously make-up, wigs, and fake facial hair are tools that drag performers use, but others aren’t as well-known. Binders, for example, are used by drag kings to flatten their chests for a more pectoral look. Various types of binders, the most basic being wide strips of cloth, have been used for centuries by female-bodied people, such
as women who wanted to serve in the American Civil War and posed as men to do so. Drag performers figured out long ago that you don’t need to be a certain size, just smartly proportioned, and pads are a way to thicken specific parts of the body, altering the performer’s shape so they can use gendered body stereotypes to their advantage. Gaff underwear, or tucking panties, help men pull their family jewels back between their legs to achieve a more feminine groin— some even have inner pockets to hold everything in place.
It’s All Drag
Drag kings, who have male stage personas, are much less celebrated within drag culture and fandom. But such stage personalities are also often not as extra as many drag queens. “Drag kings tend to go for more authentic gender representation,” says Pam Scissom, who performs as Adam Bomb, “rather than going for over-the-top glamour and enter-
tainment.” Aside from more stoic performances, sexism surely has a part to play in the unequal popularity of queens as opposed to kings. Men dressing as women is frequently treated as a joke, notes Scissom, while women dressing as men is often met with aggression, as if it’s okay for men to inhabit female identity but it’s offensive when a woman thinks she can step into a man’s shoes. Some king performers have even used the term “drab,” DRessed As Boy, to differentiate their craft due to the unequal attention and treatment. Then there’s the bitter division of aesthetic: Queens who focus on beauty and pearl-clutching performance moments tend to get a lot of attention because their looks and performances are made to appeal (they have to, since some of them make their living as performers). But on the other end of the spectrum are queens and kings who don’t strive to be palatable, like the great Divine and contestants on the gritty reality show The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, whose sometimes monstrous looks are derived more from horror movies and nightmares than the bright fantasies of fashion magazines and movies. And then there are queens who, like the Boulet Brothers themselves, combine glamour and horror to create modern looks reminiscent of Elvira on acid. Genderfuck performers seek to display attributes of multiple genders at once, like Conchita Wurst, winner of the 2014 Eurovision contest, whose signature look is a full-length gown and a thick black beard. Some performers don’t have a set aesthetic at all, like Nina Bo’nina Banana Fofana Osama Bin Laden Brown, who does everything from glamour make-ups to male celebrity impersonations to animal make-up on their YouTube channel. The best way to get to know the vast world of drag is always to go to local drag shows and follow your favorite performers on social media. “I think everybody should do drag! It’s a magical mirror/window into one’s wildest imagination. Playing dress-up never grows old,” local glamazon Guava Soleil says. “Support the local drag scene by seeking out the nearest show, gathering some friends and enjoying an evening out. And tip a bitch.” WE ARE FAMILY PRIDE CELEBRATION WITH HELLA BELLA 8 pm Saturday June 30. $5-$10. Second Street Brewery (Rufina Taproom), 2920 Rufina St., 954-1068

f your kid has ever come home from school and suddenly wanted to talk about the problematic representations of women on your favorite TV show, we probably worked with them that day. We are sexual violence prevention educators. As representatives from Solace Crisis Treatment Center, we go into schools and community organizations to talk about the things most people either don’t want or don’t know how to talk about. We are some of the people who teach middle school students about consent, alcohol, sex and media representations of sexuality and oppression. We are also transgender—people whose gender is different from what they were assigned at birth. While our individual trans narratives are different, we have a shared experience of not feeling like we were born in the wrong bodies, but that we were born into bodies that were supposed to change; that we weren’t born a boy or girl, but born babies who were looked at by doctors and had our entire futures mapped out with blue and pink hats. Our students don’t always know we are trans, but our transness is always relevant to the topics we teach. Research into what works in preventing sexual violence is a relatively recent endeavor. Most people who work in the
anti-sexual violence field are too busy doing the work of caring for the epidemic level of those who have already been assaulted to stop and figure out exact root causes. For years, Solace Crisis Treatment Center offered prevention programming that was essentially based on a good hunch. And the brave staff had a pretty radical thought for the late ’90s: Homophobia is a form of sexual violence. The organization worked with our public schools to create a program to address such sexual violence (then called project GLYPH, or Gay and Lesbian Youth Preventing Homophobia), and it ran well until members from the conservative Christian organization Focus on the Family stormed the Santa Fe school board in 2001. This led to months of editorials in local newspapers either in support of the program or in fierce opposition—even calling for the boycott of United Way of Santa Fe, which funded project GLYPH. Eventually, after too many school board meetings wherein LGBTQ youth were forced to listen to adults from their community talk about how they were evil, Solace rebranded GLYPH as a broader pro-diversity curriculum. What those staff didn’t know then was that the central concept of their program would be echoed in future frameworks by the Centers for Disease Control and become a core component to every effective sexual violence prevention program in
the country. Now we know that not only are homophobia and transphobia forms of sexual violence, but they are deeply embedded in the roots of violence itself. When a baby is born, doctors or midwives look at its genitals and excitedly exclaim, “it’s a …!” That baby is given a blue or pink hat, which acts not only as a cute accessory or head-warmer, but as a blueprint for how that child is supposed to live their life. If you were to ask a group of fourth-graders, college students or senior citizens about what men and women are expected to eat (meat/salad), feel (anger/everything except for anger) or do for work (construction or CEO/nurse), you’d probably get the same answers across the board. These are gender roles or norms, and while those answering these questions may not believe they should be the expectations, they are clear on what the expectations are and even clearer about the ways in which they might be punished for not following the rules. Rigid gender norms fuel myths about sexual violence, like believing a woman is asking to be assaulted for wearing skimpy clothing, that a man should always make the first move or that LGBTQ people are sexual predators. Such beliefs are built into the same systems that tell girls to be small and boys to be strong and, when they go unchallenged, can contribute to the perpetration of sexual violence. We cannot prevent sexual violence without
dismantling rigid gender norms. Transgender and non-binary people’s very existence is that of a beautiful and complex glitch in a system that doesn’t work for anyone. We are the canary in the coalmine shouting at the top of our lungs: “Hey! Gender roles suck! They are literally killing us!” Unfortunately, our existence outside societal norms puts us in the path of harm. Cisgender (non-transgender) women already widely experience catcalling and high rates of sexual assault in their lifetimes. Further moving outside these gender norms means trans people experience attacks in public spaces, twice the rate of sexual violence and that transgender women of color have a one in eight chance of being murdered. We create programming that centers on people who are most impacted by an issue. In sexual violence work, trans/ non-binary people exist at the center alongside Indigenous women and people with disabilities. But if we create communities that are safer for trans and non-binary people, that safety doesn’t stop where our genders end. Bathrooms designated as gender-neutral (as the City of Santa Fe mandates for single-stall facilities) aren’t only awesome for trans and non-binary people, they’re also great for families and people with disabilities or folks who want more privacy. Policies that protect trans and non-binary students in schools are often connected to changes in dress code policy that curb the policing of girls’ and students of color’s bodies. Creating space for transgender people to exist without fear also tells the kid who loves ballet that he doesn’t need to “man up,” gives permission to intervene when someone sees a coworker being sexually harassed, interrupts rape jokes and believes survivors. As we work with your kids, we may not talk about being trans, but our identities are inextricably linked with the lessons we teach.

hen I leave Michael Freed’s studio on Trades West Road, he sends me off with a warm hug and a book of penis drawings, a special edition catalogue of his from A Penis Show: Razing the Metaphor, which he exhibited a decade ago at the Center for Contemporary Arts. In it, Freed’s hyperrealistic penis drawings are overlaid onto images of phallic metaphor. Some are innocuous (a banana, hard candy), but most suggest violence (a gun, a spear, a drill). “What are we really doing here,” Freed asks, when we form a wall of cultural symbology around the phallus? “By making it so taboo, we give it more power than it should have and make it more fearful than it should be.” Freed was born in Oklahoma City and moved to Santa Fe in 1993, a time when many of his friends at home were dying of AIDS. He spent 17 years in the
Michael Freed, Santa Fe’s queer arts and the arc of explicit representation
gallery business, and now runs the popup gallery Offroad Productions out of his personal studio. He fits into a tradition of gay artists in the city working in explicit representation of sexual identity, which Walter Cooper describes at length in his book, Unbuttoned: Gay Life in the Santa Fe Arts Scene. “Artists tend to paint, draw, sculpt, or photograph what they are drawn to,” Cooper writes. “Male artists who emphasize male genitalia are invariably homeosexual.” Hyperbolic, certainly, but it captures the pathos: Gay male self-definition was in the phallus, in the rippling muscles of neoclassical portraiture, in forthright homoeroticism. Freed might belong to the tail end of such an aesthetic tradition in Santa Fe. By the 1930s, so many queer, class-privileged Anglo artists had convened in Santa Fe to flee the rigidity of East Coast lifestyles that the phrase “Going Santa Fe” became code for sexual experimentation. Cady Wells and Willa Cather were among
a cohort of acclaimed writers and artists who gathered at the home of the gay poet Witter Bynner. The artist Agnes Sims, who had affairs with the writers May Sarton and Mary Louise White, among many others, was at the epicenter of gay female life. “Those who are pushing the edge oftentimes find a point of demarcation,” Freed says, referring to the New Mexico artists who preceded him, carving out new territory in queer and feminist arts. “Judy Chicago, and what she was doing. Georgia O’Keefe, and what she was doing, what she said she was not doing, which she really was doing. They push the boundaries and then things fill in behind them.” In the mid-20th century, Santa Fe’s milieu of queer artists might have made allusions to deviant sexuality, but they generally kept it out of their work. Especially in the case of female artists, any insinuation of queerness could devastate a career. In the 1980s and ’90s, Freed says, representational work became “center stage.” Now, he identifies a generation of younger queer artists in Santa Fe who are not making explicitly queer art. “The context has shifted as our rights— which are a continuous struggle—have. I think a number of younger gay, lesbian, queer artists are looking with a different set of eyes.” Initially, Freed seems irked on the subject, comparing this phenomenon to young women eschewing the term “feminist” while taking for granted the fruits of feminism. “Same thing is happening in the gay community,” he says. Then he relaxes. “It’s all shifting. And and that’s not a bad thing. Then, it was a safe haven and secretive, like a club to belong to, so you felt a camaraderie you don’t anymore.” Like how gay youth can now go out with straight friends, he explains, gay art can commingle with straight art, indistinguishable as such. In 2013, Freed opened Offroad Productions, a quarterly pop-up gallery that served as a way for him to give back to the community that had welcomed him and display the work of alternative and queer
artists. He would curate his summer show, and three guest curators would take on the remaining seasons. In the five years since then, more pop-up galleries have opened in Santa Fe, along with more permanent galleries like 5. Gallery and form & concept, which help to fill the void of esoteric art Freed sought to address. Combined with the fact that queer artists now typically hang their work in standard galleries, this means the need for Offroad has diminished, and Freed has decided to end his quarterly shows. He’ll still hold occasional shows at will. Offroad’s final quarterly show, its fiveyear anniversary, opens on July 21. In its off-hours, Freed’s gallery itself brims with his work and personality. Plush, glittery phallic cacti sprout up from one corner. Pieces of farming equipment from his homestead childhood adorn his walls alongside skulls and skeletons. Friends’ artwork fills his kitchenette. He’s calling his upcoming show The High-Proof Fifth—because it’s “high-proof talent and high-octane fun,” Freed says. Even his press release reveals his sensibility, written as a dialogue between himself (MF) and his gallery (OP). When it comes to the changes the gallery is undergoing, Freed finds himself having to explain his actions: MF: When I started this with you, there was a dearth of options for artists and collectors focusing on the kind of work we like to see, the kind of work I like to make, and the kind of work we like to support. OP: I get that. So are you closing me down? Is this it? Am I done? OMG! Am I dead to you? MF: No. I’m not pulling your plug, drama queen … OP: So … it’s not the “end of the road” for Offroad? *chortles* No, Freed tells Offroad. Not the end; just something different.

Gay Back When Searching for what Santa Fe lost when the gay bars closed
BY J O R DA N E D DY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
E
arly in my time in Santa Fe, way back in 2014, I worked at a Canyon Road gallery with an older gay man I’ll call Mike. In the 1980s, Mike was a reporter for a Hollywood entertainment show, and his moment at the periphery of the spotlight had left its mark. He dressed somewhat like Elton John, with blue-tinted glasses and flashy shoes, and kept his gray hair spiked up in a wild cloud. He was fond of saying, “I have a certain lifestyle to maintain.” In his hours at the gallery, where he was a part-time sales associate, Mike spent most of his time writing an erotic novel that was actually a thinly veiled memoir of his time in Hollywood. Inspired by the success of Fifty Shades of Grey, he planned to self-publish it as an e-book and rake in millions of dol-

lars from bored housewives. It seemed like a fine scheme, except that the novel opened in a gay bathhouse with a “crusty carpet” and only got less heterosexual from there. After work, Mike would walk over to Geronimo for a $20 cocktail. I was a broke 20-something, but occasionally joined him if he offered to pick up the tab. There, he bitched about Santa Fe’s dating scene—“everyone moves here as a couple”—and told me tales of Los Angeles. I was particularly interested in his experiences at the height of the HIV/ AIDS epidemic. Mike had a very Angels in America anecdote in which, while driving his convertible through LA traffic, he had a vision of a deceased friend’s face in the glare of the windshield. As Mike witnessed most of his friends die, he was deeply embedded in LA’s gay club scene. His stories of this time—when he was closeted to his high-powered Hol-

lywood bosses but able to show his true self in dark, pulsating places—made me newly aware of a gulf between my generation of gay men and our forefathers. Due to the fact that more of us— though hardly all of us—can live openly without risking near-universal social censure, we often have a limited understanding of the past significance of public spaces that were specifically coded gay. Gay bars were safe harbors in a violently heteronormative world, but they were much more than that—they cultivated a complex and vibrant subculture that had inherent value outside of its protective function. As Mike chatted away at Geronimo, sometimes I felt like he was a refugee from a baroque alien planet that had turned to glittering space dust. There was longing in his eyes as he reminisced about the days when you networked on a barstool instead of the Grindr grid.
In certain corners of the nation we’ve gained some measure of safety, tolerance and even acceptance—and that’s inarguably great—but we accidentally left behind something important in the process. In Santa Fe, there is no gay bar. I was here for the supposed last gasps of a local gay night life: When the Rouge Cat closed in 2014, drag queen bee Bella Gigante told The Santa Fe New Mexican that it was “the end of an era.” The Blue Rooster, which opened in the same space the next fall, only lasted for 12 months. Rainbow Vision, an LGBTQIA retirement home that was a de facto queer community center, went bankrupt and rebranded around the same time. They join a long line of queer spaces that once dotted the city—like the Cargo Club, the Drama Club and the Paramount from the city’s gay clubbing heyday of the ’80s and ’90s, or Claude’s Bar on Canyon Road from the late 1950s to the 1970s. I have a hunch that, in our current political situation, we’re approaching an era where such sanctuaries will swing back into mode. Gay bars of the past were exclusive for a good reason, but they were majority gay male spaces that often shunned other groups, like lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people. A contemporary version needs to protect, connect and inspire more than one or two letters of LGBTQIA. Let’s call it a queer club. Our local queer club could be a DIY warehouse space off Airport Road (hey, Zephyr), or Lu Lu’s Chinese Cuisine on Cerrillos Road (I mean, it has a dance floor), or the elegant jazz bar Tonic on Water Street. Seriously, let’s anoint someplace in Santa Fe the intersectional, nonbinary, QAF spot, and collectively discover the profound cultural value of such a space. Perhaps, in time, the queer club will multiply from coast to coast like the gay bar did. By then, like the trendsetters we are, queers will have moved on to something even better.
Reclaiming a Riot Working beyond rainbow-Pride and assimilation B Y A N A S TA S I O W R O B E L @anastasio.wrobel
E
very June, the gays and the queers are encouraged to kick off their clothes, bathe in glitter and celebrate their civil rights achievements. A less-popular action is unparticipating and ignoring the shiny, rainbow sex-aesthetic party—why is everyone celebrating when we have so much work to do? The first “pride” was a three-day anti-police riot beginning June 28, 1969, and was led by trans women of color. Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P Johnson and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy are some of those responsible for my freedom as a queer person today. Now, in just 49 short years, Pride seems to only advocate for queers’ assimilation and equality within heteronormative structures like marriage and military service. We have somehow incorporated imperialism with riot, and the result is police cruisers sporting rainbow decals, rainbowpainted crosswalks and nearly 100 antiLGBTQIAP+ legislative bills introduced across the country since 2017, according to the ACLU. For example, HB 2437 in Arizona is what the ACLU has termed an “incomplete protection” bill, as it concerns workplace anti-bias training and sexual harassment, yet lacks designated protection for one’s gender identity. Other anti-transgender bills concern “single-sex facility restrictions,” state “Religious Freedom Restoration Acts,” and protecting adoption and foster care restrictions that adhere to religious beliefs. (A comprehensive list, updated every Monday, can be found at aclu.org.) The truth is simple but startling: We have forgotten who we are fighting against and what we’ve been fighting for. People who celebrate Pride may choose to adorn their bodies in rainbow-colored goods produced with factory labor, using plastic that clogs our oceans and kills our marine life, eventually killing people, too. Meanwhile, shoe giant
Nike chose to appropriate pink triangle iconography into its 2018 Pride sneaker collection, a bizarre implementation given the pink triangle’s original use as a symbol designated by Nazis during WWII to signify homosexuality and queerness. Further, the pink triangle was reclaimed by New York activist group ACT UP during the 1980s when AIDS ravaged the country and the US government was silent, then condemning. Now, it has been regurgitated into an object demanding our consumption. This and a million other things make it hard to conflate politics and Pride into one respectable idea, let alone celebrate it. Overall, things are terrible for the LGBTQIAP+ community. Locally, nationally, globally; only certain queers are thriving. Pride is not marching arm-in-

arm with police during a parade; it is not celebrating our acceptance and inclusion into larger systems of oppression that are openly destructive. Pride is not rooted in the dominion of hyper-sexualized, thin, white bodies—no matter what the advertisements say, this is not the pinnacle of attraction or worthiness. Pride is not binge-drinking for three days, drag queen bingo or a Closet Ball. I am not faulting anyone who participates, nor do I fault someone who doesn’t celebrate Pride. Each one of us has a different opinion about our movement, but
I believe trans, queer and gender variant people offer a glimpse into a different world. We need those windows. I also believe our elders need the protection and benefits marriage affords. I believe it’s complicated, but I love seeing people show themselves off. I love the allure of drag king performances, or the cute lesbian couple making out in the corner. I want to see go-go dancers and glitter booty shorts and I want VPL. But Pride Month practically demands my happiness while depression and capitalism limit my participation. Further, as a gender variant person, couple the daily traumas of acceptance, rejection, protection, danger, in/visibility, the personal ups and downs of an individual life on any given day with my showing up to a corporate-rainbow-party-boozing or homo-normative family event where “love” is my savior—it is just too much to give. No, thank you. I want space to honor and respect our anger and ancestors, instead. Pride is literally getting up in the morning. It’s beginning a day, feeding yourself, making a phone call, taking a breath; Pride is existence. Pride is doing emotional labor whether you want to or not. Pride is losing everything and choosing oneself. Pride is decolonization. Pride is every miniscule action you take, noticed or unnoticed. Pride is correcting your friends’ pronouns in their absence. Pride is doing the work anyway, 24/7/365. What we really need is the decriminalization of gender. We need to abolish ICE. We need accessibility to be at the
forefront of our minds in creating equitable spaces that serve all citizens. We need black and Indigenous reparations. We need universal health care, universal income and universal housing. I want us to thrive. I want more fight, less party. If we are going to celebrate something, then we need to do the hard work first. I think sex workers having autonomy will save us. I think teaching children about gender diversity and dismantling toxic masculinity will save us. Attend a drag show and educate yourself about gender neutrality or attend a trans march and make calls to senators. I know I will save someone just by existing, so I persist. But our focus fixates on normalcy. We are cheating ourselves. We need to think bigger than we have been and we need to start making sure that no one is left behind. Trans voices of color need to lead the way. I don’t care about the rainbow advertisement campaigns in 2018—I care about my community having access to health care, employment or universal income, housing, education, opportunity, safety and resources. I care about Medicaid dissolving. I care about trans people experiencing micro-violence in daily interactions. I care that religion has more freedom than sex workers, black people and trans women combined. It feels like we gave up on the fight and started partying instead, and it is not working for all of us. It is unsustainable. We cannot simply celebrate our existence; we must fight for ourselves until we have everything we deserve. .

SFR: Can you tell me a little bit about the overarching and unifying idea behind the series and how it was developed? CC: It really stemmed from the idea and questions we had about four years ago as an organization; … ‘What can Santa Fe uniquely do that has a major impact on our city and the way our city and state are perceived locally, nationally and internationally?’ That’s why we did the nuclear summit as our kickoff in December 2016. We ended up bringing national leaders from all over the country: artists, musicians, actors, nuclear weapons experts and futurists … and had a tremendously successful three-day conference that shifted the way people perceive nuclear weapons, within the field and beyond. I was really thinking about how might we take the success of that model and really deeply embed

Regarding the first conversation about housing, what are some of the questions and issues you think need to be tackled? A core question we want to bring to this particular conversation is: Who gets to be at the table to have these conversations? So much of the time these decisions are made from the top down, hierarchical, from a very political standpoint or corporate standpoint. We don’t empower the people who are going to be living in those spaces and look at the entire system: housing, education, healthcare. We are really being as widely inclusive as possible about who is speaking at this event, who is attending at this event. All of our materials are in English and Spanish, we have Spanish translators, the information is not just online but we have flyers and posters throughout the entire community. We have a whole new network of community partners to really help us dig deep into making sure the voices at the table represent the entire city. How does having conversations like this move action forward? I think, again, by addressing who is part of the conversation. We go to lectures and we are spoken to, we go to a dialogue and
What connection do you see between Santa Fe’s relationship to these issues and a broader dialogue that goes beyond our city? I was on Mayor [Alan] Webber’s Catalyzing Jobs Committee, and we looked at the question of our history and our cultural legacy and what we’ve always touted as Santa Fe, and how do we combine that with future and sustainability and innovation and globally competing. I don’t think by any means it’s an either/or in order to thrive globally and keep moving forward and grow young and be on that cutting edge of art and technology. We have to also build the basic blocks and make sure our foundation is secure and stable by looking at issues of housing and poverty and how we treat all different aspects of our culture.

T
his week, Creative Santa Fe kicks off its Disruptive Futures series, an initiative aimed—as so much seems to be lately in Santa Fe—toward pivoting the city’s attention forward. Multiple endeavors showcasing cross-disciplinary talks, performances and art installations this last month highlighted the changing ways various sectors are approaching art, science and social issues. This week, I spoke with Creative Santa Fe Executive Director Cyndi Conn about her organization’s upcoming series, which will meld guest speakers, local experts and audience interaction. The series kicks off Thursday June 28 with a program on housing and science fiction, and continues into the fall on a panoply of subjects ranging from nuclear weapons to local news to poverty; the complete schedule are available online at creativesantafe.org/events. This interview has been edited for length.
Can we talk about the word ‘disruptive’? How do you frame the idea of disruptive futures in a positive light, given the disruptive present? We went back and forth as a team about whether that was the right word, and in some ways we’re taking disruptive back. So many of the challenges and negative politics and negative press and what’s happening in the world feels disruptive to our world. What’s positive is shaking up things … and disrupting the assumptions we make.
we hear other people’s expert opinions on topics and if we’re lucky we get to ask our question. Our dialogues are going to include workshops, hands-on interactions, [we will create] zines where people can follow up with their ideas. So what we’re doing with our partners, who are the content drivers, afterward is asking: What can Creative Santa Fe build as a result of these dialogues? In Housing the Future, we are doing a science fiction-writing workshop [with guest speaker Gabriel Teodros from the anthology Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements] with all of these attendees in the audience that night, … giving them context to unleash their imaginations. … The conversation is to get people thinking in a new way to make them feel empowered to feel like there are things they can do as citizens. We want to be an action tank, not a think tank.

The annual Wednesday night bring-a-blanket music-a-thon takes over the athletic field at St. John’s College, and this week finds celebrated trumpet master and composer Ryan Montano getting jazzy. Montano merges influences like jazz and soul into the types of stunning compositions that have placed him in headlining slots at national jazz fests, piping through your radio and firmly into the hearts and minds of jazz fans. Note also that there’s a free shuttle service from the PERA building (1120 Paseo de Peralta, and look for the Santa Fe Pick-Up)—y’know, so you don’t have to worry about parking.

MUSIC FRI/28 SO DIRTY Though Dirty Projectors frontman Dave Longstreth may have famously taken the band into the solo realm (don’t worry, we hear there are plenty of collaborations on the horizon) after his breakup with fellow band member, singer Amber Coffman, his songwriting is strong as ever. Case in point: the upcoming full-length, Lamp Lit Prose, out this July. On the first single, “Break Thru,” Longstreth presides over a delightfully upbeat and poppy rhythm and beat punctuated by as pleasing a kicky guitar lick as can be. “Break Thru” sounds like Paul Simon visited the future or something, and though Longstreth may be working through the things and feeling all the feelings, it really just means we’re in for some great jams.

Pride Cometh Feel the pride We know that many of you have been celebrating Pride throughout the month, but with this weekend come the gathering-party-music-fun aspects of the annual celebrations, and the gatherings are looking mighty fine. “It’s been a part of my life for 11 years and I’m kind of speechless about it,” says Doug Nava, the outgoing president of the Human Rights Alliance, the organization that puts on the events. “I’m a part of history and I’m never going to turn my back on the organization, but it’s time for someone else to take over.” The festivities kick off Friday night at 6 pm with the Closet Ball, an event that finds four drag queen newbies taking the stage at The Lodge for the first time, and half the proceeds go to the Southwest Care Center. The following morning, Pride itself begins with an 11 am parade from the PERA Building down to the Plaza where there will be music, food, information, guest speakers, performances and more. At around 10 pm Saturday night, the afterparty takes over The Palace with DJ Oona rocking the dance jams and proceeds going to the New Mexico Gay Rodeo Association. Finally, on Sunday, attendees can take it back to The Lodge for a decidedly more relaxed pool party with proceeds going to Los Alamos’ burgeoning Pride celebrations, though Nava cautions
there are a limited number of tickets available during the previous day’s Pride on the Plaza, so get one while you can. “We’re being very generous this year, considering we could always use that money,” Nava says, “but it all comes back to you tenfold, I like to say—I’m sad, I’m happy, I’m probably every emotion you can think of.” Let that idea of reciprocity guide you as well, Santa Fe, as you party with Pride, love and understanding. Plus, there’ll be some pretty killer outfits, so … score. (Alex De Vore) CLOSET BALL 6 pm Friday June 29. $10. The Lodge at Santa Fe, 750 N St. Francis Drive, 992-5800.

Golden Rule Golden General, Talia Kosh and the necessity of creation
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
“
I
had someone cry in front of me the other day,” Talia Kosh tells me. It’s a beautiful sunny afternoon and Kosh is gearing up for an upcoming two-Thursday run of shows at Vanessie with her band Golden General. “You’re a lawyer, so they’ll doubt you until they hear your voice, and then it’s, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry I doubted you!’ But I get it—if you do something professionally outside the area of music, it can be difficult to break through people’s preconceived perceptions.”
Outside of the band, Kosh is an attorney. She’s also the president of nonprofit organization New Mexico Lawyers for the Arts (which seeks to help creative types navigate legal matters) and counsel to Meow Wolf in certain areas—she’s not exactly who you’d expect to see shredding a ukulele and belting out impassioned songs about love, loss, heartache and sadness with a Siouxsie and the Banshees, new-wave bent. And yet she is and does, and she’ll continue as long as she can. “My father got me a ukulele, and then after my grandfather died, I found out he’d been an avid player,” she continues.
MUSIC “It’s in the family and I’ve been playing for kind of awhile; I sang in the gospel choir at the College of Charleston, but I didn’t start writing songs until I got the ukulele.” She’d already worked with local vocalist and vocal coach Felecia Ford for years, and by the time she had 15 songs, she put together the band and started playing shows. At first, things were a little more rocking. Take Golden General’s upcoming first single “Clown,” an ode to Kosh’s friend Niko Magadini— who has since passed away— and his punk band Clown. Kosh belts it out like it’s her job while the Pete Townshendesque backing track feels poppy and bright. Lyrically, it’s not the happiest song you’ve ever heard, but it does demand attention and hits a series of musical feel-good highs. Things have changed in recent months, though, and Kosh has stripped down the live show to her voice and her uke and guitarist James Westbay. “Of course the songs have to change up a bit when you don’t have the full band,” she explains, “but I don’t think they’ve changed that much. And I like to think my stuff is approachable enough even without a drummer or bassist.” Such instrumentation is still present on the recorded material, and Kosh and company are still working on the Golden General EP at Kitchen Sink Studios with an assist from local producer Brian Hardgroove and engineering from Jono Manson. She might route a tour once the EP is completed, but she also says she’s already anxious to get back in the studio for a full-length album. “I’ve got enough material,” she says with a laugh, “and I’m also cognizant of my time constraints when it comes to hitting the road. I really
want to focus on writing and recording new material, anyway.” This brings us to Vanessie, a venue that has served, shall we say, a much older clientele with its piano lounge and wine bar aesthetic. It’s attempted to break that mold in the past—unsuccessfully. Kosh’s music, however, can and should appeal to a younger crowd, and it’ll be interesting to see if they can hold onto
I like to think my stuff is approachable enough even without a drummer or bassist. that momentum should the turnout be positive. And it should be. Even in rough mixes provided by Kosh, it’s easy to tell she’s on to something. The proper support could make all the difference. “The gravity of life … I’m aware of it, and I can’t say a lot of my songs are ‘uplifting,’ but they have a sense of humor to them, and that’s something I carry with me,” Kosh says. “I think at this point it’s a necessity in terms of processing my environment—it’s a necessity for me to write.”
GOLDEN GENERAL: 6:30 pm Thursday June 28. $2. Vanessie, 427 W Water St., 982-9966

BACK TO THE BARRIO:

he sun bleached the pavement as Manuel “Manny” Montoya pointed to places where structures once stood on what is now St. Francis Drive. We were squinting in the light, cars whipping by with nary a sense of hesitation. It is unlikely that most drivers know of the neighborhood which once occupied that swath of land. Montoya looked on, pointing to the median that sits on the stretch of St. Francis between Dunlap and Alto Street, recalling in his slightly gravelly voice the home that stood there. “That used to be where the Valdez family lived.” He pointed out others, too—homes that had been torn down for the construction of what the Montoya family refers to as “the highway.” They’re mostly serious when they say that and, in comparison to what was there before, it is indeed a highway, traffic and all. The traffic, though, is only one symptom of a longer history of disruption the Montoya family spoke about, the era when their barrio was sliced apart. Beginning June 1, 1963, agents working on behalf of the St. Francis Drive Project began contacting homeowners whose houses were located on its proposed path. With a budget of $700,000, those agents were in the process of establishing rightof-way for a road meant to relieve traffic congestion in the downtown area. The construction itself, including a bridge crossing the Santa Fe River, would cost another estimated $750,000. St. Francis Drive’s northern section was set to run from the National Cemetery to Sierra Vista, a stretch of land comprising approx-
Eva Montoya, 99, still refers to St. Francis Drive as “the highway.”
imately 120 homes, each needing to be cleared away. Montoya could name at least five families in the vicinity of the home where he grew up, located at 205 St. Francis Drive. They “were bought out,” he says, having to move elsewhere as the road rolled in. In the process, streets like Dunlap were interrupted from their east-west contiguity, picking up on either side of the main drag. Montoya recalls he “was in awe of the earth movers” that readied the space for a twolane highway that would be flanked by two extra lanes for parking. The building Stone Forest now occupies, located just south of where he grew up, was only partly in the way of the construction project. As a re-
sult, it was sliced in half, one part demoed for St. Francis, the other left intact. Montoya’s mother, Eva Montoya, turned 99 on June 18. Sitting in a kitchen that was added long after the original building was erected in 1927, she mentioned that construction of the road came with a change of address. “We used to be 234 ½ Ambrosio,” she says. All the homes crowded behind hers maintained their Ambrosio identification; hers was a kind of buffer between the road and everyone else, the front yard quite literally becoming an asphalt slab. Now it’s a kind of scar bearing evidence of displacement long covered over. That family home was built by her in-laws: Emilio Montoya and

Vicentita (Barela) Montoya, a renowned seamstress who worked on San Francisco Street. Eva spent the better part of her long life under its roof even as its floorplan morphed over time. Eva, who proudly drove a teal 1966 Impala until she no longer could, sits with one foot up on a chair as she recollects how the area looked before St. Francis changed everything. There used to be a dairy where cows roamed, cordoned off by a barbedwire fence. Elsewhere, open fields were interspersed on the land between neighbor’s houses. There was even a long brick wall just across the way made with brick produced at the state penitentiary, located where Cordova Road and St. Francis Drive now intersect. She had eight children who made their own kites out of papier-maché. Attached to big balls of twine, the kites caught the wind, taking off far into the sky between the fields and houses. In addition to Eva and Manny Montoya, Sam Montoya and granddaughter Jessica Eva Montoya Trujillo all sit around the kitchen table, each recalling a different memory, each recalling a different former neighbor. The banter and recollections all felt very Norteño, even if the stories they weave are tinged with a sense of loss. One neighbor, Manny points out, had a sign on his house that read “No Vendan”—“Don’t Sell.” The family chuckles as they speak of one neighborhood character who carried on just as he had before the road moved in. Affectionately known as Don Papsi, José Lucero pulled his cart with two burros down St. Francis Drive amidst traffic. Known for wearing coveralls every day of his life, Don Papsi drove his cart to the intersection of St. Francis and Alameda before making his way westward toward the feed store. He did that as far back as any of the Montoyas could remember.

When I started dating my husband, he told me he had a low libido. I said I could deal with that. We waited several months before having sex, and then after we started, it was infrequent and impersonal. There was some slow improvement over the three years we dated. Then we got married, and suddenly he had no libido at all. He blamed health problems and assured me he was trying to address them. Despite being diagnosed and successfully treated for multiple physical and mental health issues over time, things only got worse. After four years of marriage, the relationship has become strictly platonic. I can’t even start a conversation about intimacy without him getting irritated. After we married, he also decided he no longer wanted children, and I eventually convinced myself it was probably for the best, given his health. We built our dream home, adopted a pet, and built an outwardly successful life together. I was, if not happy, at least complacent. Until I ran into an ex-boyfriend at a party. We split many years ago on good terms. We ended up talking about how important it is to him to have a biological child—something we talked about a lot when we were dating—and we got physically close, and that got me thinking about how much I missed sex with him. Ever since, I’ve been thinking about him. I think he was hinting that he wants me back, and right now that sounds like the answer to all my problems. But if not, I don’t want to leave my hubby and lose the decent life we built together. Plus, my leaving would hurt my husband’s feelings, his health, and his finances. I also worry that people would blame me because it will look like I left because things were tough. Can I follow up and clarify with my ex before I break it off with my husband, or is that too much like cheating? Is it selfish of me to even consider leaving at this point? I’m a 30-year-old woman, so I don’t have a lot of time left to decide about children. -Indecisively Married Dame On Nearing Exit Here’s something I’ve never seen in my inbox: a letter from someone explaining how sex with their partner was infrequent, impersonal, uninspired, unimaginative, etc. at first but—holy moly—the sex got a fuck of a lot better after the wedding! Now, maybe that happens— maybe that happened for you, dear reader (if so, please write in)—but I can’t imagine it happens often. So, boys and girls and enbies, if the sex isn’t good at or very near the beginning, the passage of time and/or muttering of vows isn’t going to fix it. If sex is important to you—if you wouldn’t be content in a companionate marriage and/or don’t want to wind up in divorce court one day—hold out for someone with whom you click sexually. Okay, IMDONE, either your husband married you under false pretenses—putting out/ in just enough to convince you to marry him and only pretending to want kids—or his goodfaith efforts to resolve his health issues didn’t help (at least where sex is concerned) and he changed his mind about being a dad (perhaps because he doesn’t feel healthy enough to do the work of parenting). Either way, you’re free to go. Even if the sex was good and your husband wanted 30 kids, you’d still be free to go. Whether or not you stay, IMDONE, you should explore your options before making up your mind. So go ahead and call your ex and ask him if he’d like to get coffee with you—in a public place and shortly before an appointment you can’t cancel. Your ex may have been hinting about wanting to get back together, or he may not want to get back together and was engaged in what he thought was a little harmless/nostalgic flirtation—harmless because he

knows you’re married and presumably unavailable. There’s only one way to find out what your ex wants or doesn’t want, and that’s by asking your ex. So ask. And while that convo could be regarded as pre-cheating or cheating-prep or even cheating-adjacent, it isn’t cheating. You married someone who unilaterally changed the terms and conditions of your marriage—no sex, no kids—and you have an absolute right to think through your options. And a husband who won’t even discuss intimacy with you can’t ask you to refrain from contemplating or even discussing intimacy with one of those options. Whether you have that convo with your ex or not, IMDONE, you need to ask yourself if you want to stay in this marriage. You’re only 30 and you wanted and still want kids. Ex-boyfriend or no ex-boyfriend, you can leave your husband—and you can leave him without abandoning him. You can still be there for him emotionally, you can offer what help you can financially, and you can help him secure health insurance. Finally, IMDONE, you frame your choice as the husband or the ex—one or the other— but there is another option. It’s the longest of long shots, I realize, but I’m going to toss it out there anyway: one or the other or both. Your husband would have to agree to an open relationship, and your ex-boyfriend––if, again, he’s interested at all—would have to agree to it, too. Good luck. You ran a letter about a gay man (“Sam”) who has been sucking off his straight friend. Sam said he’s never done this before and isn’t turned on by the idea of “servicing straight guys.” I am a gay man who enjoys sucking off straight guys and I wanted to share my perspective. I’m not trying to “convert” them. I simply find that straight guys have less emotional baggage than most gay guys. A guy’s dick is his proudest possession. They like to have them admired, especially the straight guys who don’t often get much feedback about their dicks from women. I’m very skilled, so it’s a thrill for me to give a guy a lot of pleasure. I like doing things that make other folks happy, and sucking dick is something that’s appreciated. One guy I’ve known for about 20 years, and after many years apart, he is wanting to see me again. I don’t want a relationship; I don’t want to have to think about two people and have to adjust my plans. It’s hard enough to plan for just me. I prefer the friendship and the occasional dick sucking. They can always trust me to be straightforward with them. I will never take advantage of them, even when they get drunk. I like pleasing them and having their trust. And for the big question everybody asks: “Do you get lonely?” No, I don’t. I have all kinds of friends and lots of interests and hobbies. And from time to time, I get to suck a guy’s dick. -Whatever Acronym Works Like most gay guys, WAW, you’ve got some baggage there of your own. You don’t want a relationship—and, hey, that’s fine! Not everyone wants to pair or triple or quad off, and not everyone has to want that. But you’re seeking out straight guys not because they have less baggage on average than gay guys (they don’t), but because straight guys won’t be interested in you romantically, and consequently won’t demand a commitment from you or ask you to prioritize their needs and feelings the way a boyfriend would. So it’s not that you and all the straight guys you’re sucking off are baggage-free, WAW, it’s that your baggage fits so neatly inside theirs that you can momentarily forget you’ve got any at all.

THE CALENDAR with Guava Chiffon
Happy Pride Month DANIEL QUAT
Despite years performing across the country and being a part of Santa Fe’s infamous Jewel Box Cabaret drag show, celebrated local drag queen Guava Chiffon has never been named Pride Queen before this year. Pity, that, but it’s never too late to make things right. (Alex De Vore) How long have you been performing at this point? Wow. 33 years. I kind of started when I was 18, but I didn’t actually go through the whole circuit of bars and everything. I helped a friend move to Las Vegas and they got a job doing celebrity impersonations, I got a job backstage. I’d been a performer, I’d done theater and different types of performance stuff since I was a kid. My grandmother was really instrumental in supporting my dressing up. She had a bunch of wigs and my sister and I would put on her high heels and wigs and have Miss America pageants. But I can’t recall having an urge to be a drag performer. I know the first time someone put makeup on me, I had a very positive response. Now that the Jewel Box Cabaret is closed, what’s next for drag in Santa Fe? I’ve been approached several different times since the Jewel Box wrapped to do another show and to get something else going. I’ve always kind of thought there’d be some fresh blood; I know there are queens who live in this town who’ve had performance careers but have retired. There isn’t a big pool to draw from as far as female impersonators or gender illusionists. What’s going to happen, probably, is that there’s a bunch of youth. A talented young woman named Hester [Sunshine] approached me about doing a drag workshop series, like drag 101, at Meow Wolf, and I guess they’re really looking to try to embrace and have more of a rapport with the gay community, which they really haven’t that I’ve been aware of. There’s a 21-year-old kid who’s going to be in the Closet Ball this year, there’s a whole new generation getting inspired by RuPaul and cosplay, and I think they’re set to pop onto the scene. Any advice to anyone out there who may be struggling with their identity? It’s not lost on me how profound somebody’s first Pride experience can be. I remember my first one, and I never take it for granted. I still know when I go to Pride that you’ll see kids who’ve never been to a gay affair, and even though LGBTQ rights has made some headway, there’s still homophobia out there. People struggle with their identities late into their lives, but going to a Pride celebration is like discovering your tribe and almost like being given permission to be your truth, and it’s in these little increments that you’re given validation as gay youth or trans youth.

Waichisai’s Moving Castle COURTESY TAI MODERN
Three generations of master Japanese artisans merge form and function BY IRIS McLISTER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
Y
ou can’t write about Japanese bamboo art without mentioning tea, or China, or, probably, without the help of an expert like Koichi Okada, who has been at the helm of TAI Modern’s fastidiously curated Japanese bamboo art collection for 20 years. His new show, Three Generations of Wada Waichisai, was nearly 12 years in the making. “We’ve been showing works by the Waichisai family for years,” Okada tells SFR, “but there are very few people who have pieces available and know about the art form.” The gallery acquired work little by little, some of which is for sale and some of which is not, and finally assembled enough to comprise a show which, as Okada explains, “will focus on the birth of modern Japanese bamboo art as we know it.” Three Generations of Wada Waichisai, which opens Friday, is a fascinating little show (there are just 16 pieces in all) for a number of reasons. Maybe most striking, it’s displayed at a nominally contemporary space; a sexy and sleek Railyard gallery (one of the very first to sprout up in the area) directly across from SITE Santa Fe. This exhibit, though, showcases the art of three generations of master artisans, the work of whom spans over a hundred years: a sort of family, um, bamboo tree, if you will. Those in the know associate the Waichisai name with the finest examples of basket-making in Japan. The show, then, offers a rare glimpse of a true art dynasty. In Japan, bamboo traditions wouldn’t exist without the country’s love for karamono, which translates to “Chinese things.” Japanese upper classes venerated the ritual of Chinese tea ceremonies, based on Ming Dynasty-era traditions starting in the 1600s. “For a time,” says Okada, “Chinese goods didn’t really make it to Japan, and so people there started making baskets based on traditional Chinese styles from earlier imports.” These elaborately configured baskets were made to complement elegant, highly refined tea ceremonies. “Japan had tea ceremonies too, which started out somewhat formal and rigid, but over time gave way to more relaxed, salon-style gatherings,” says Okada, referring to the sencha tea ceremony. “There, Japanese intelligentsia, the cultured people, would sip tea and discuss Confucianism, Chinese poetry and artwork.” These gatherings
A&C
necessitated beautiful accoutrements, of course, and hosts sought statement-making baskets for vibrant ikebana displays, or for transporting charcoals and tea utensils. Though Wada Waichisai I (1851-1904) is credited with being a forefather of Japanese bamboo art, there’s little known about the artist himself, and it’s extraordinarily rare to see a basket that can be definitively attributed to him. The kobangata basket on view at TAI Modern, for instance, is one of just two in the world (the other belongs to a private collector in Germany). It’s a lovely mahogany color, constructed with obvious care and purpose, with a delicately arched handle. “It would probably have held seasonal flowers, plants and vegetables—a special centerpiece for a sencha tea ceremony,” says Okada. In some parts of Japan, bamboo is said to represent loyalty, since its hardy, fibrous makeup withstands rain and snow. Wada Waichisai II (1877-1933) is known for his use of black bamboo, as well as for his generally more minimal aesthetic. “He wanted to create his own expression and art—as opposed to adhering strictly to karamono traditions,” Okada explains. Because of its relative malleability, black bamboo can be manipulated into all kinds of forms, in turn presenting the artist with many creative possibilities. To me, works like the narrow flower basket on display by Waichisai II are what we think about when we think about Japanese aesthetic; that is, not karamono, but the restraint, the parity of form so intrinsic to aspects of the country’s traditional architecture, spiritual practices and even food presentation. Japan, of course, is no slouch when it comes to innovation. After all, they produced Sailor Moon and Junya Watanabe and katanas and ramen and an island called Aoshima that’s JUST CATS—and they invented karaoke, but nobody’s perfect, amirite? The youngest Waichisai’s style is slightly more showy than his forebears. He blasts open tradition, literally, with open-mouthed, confident vessels that act as bewitching counterparts to those of his father and granddad. In some, Waichisai III (1899-1975) even adds inlaid metal beads, covered by a coat of black lacquer. Though their creative impulses led them down unique paths, all of the Waichisais had a relationship to sencha tea ceremonies, and all shared a strong desire to perpetuate tradition—injected, indelibly, with their own personal touches.

How does it feel to be crowned Pride King? Wow, it feels really incredible. It’s such an honor. I’m getting an opportunity to heal all the wounded places in me that never got to go to school dances or proms. It’s pretty fun to dress in the clothes that are right for me. I was nominated by my queen, Guava Chiffon. They don’t always have a king and queen, they often have the queen, but they wanted to bring me on.

What does Pride mean to you? Pride is the opposite of shame, and I spent so much of my life feeling shame—of the body I was in, not thinking I could be part of my life. To be an out trans guy and Pride King is indicative of the journey I’ve taken. Now more than ever we can’t afford to go back into the closet. Thank god Stonewall happened, and it’s coming full circle— Pride started as a riot, and I’m not calling for a riot, but I’m calling for action. For people to step up and speak their truth. To know they’re not alone. I just helped out with Los Alamos’ first Pride festival, and I overheard some young kids thinking they were alone and they were so blown away by the turnout, and the turnout was tremendous. Any advice to anyone out there who may be struggling with their identity? I want people to know they aren’t alone and they don’t have to do anything alone ever again. If they can find support online or in their community, now is the time. It’s never too late to be your authentic self, and that doesn’t just cover the LGBTQ+ spectrum. The reality is we need more people on the planet that are living fully embodied and fully authentic lives. I encourage people to reach out, find safe people, and if there isn’t a safe place in their community or in their home, thank God for the internet and the 1-800 numbers. The minute we become introverted or isolated, we’re in trouble, and that’s for humanity as a whole. We have, especially the trans community, the highest rate of suicides. We have to start having all of these uncomfortable conversations. It’s time. It’s coming to a boiling point. On some level, we can’t keep waiting for the next generation to have these conversations. I think we’re all spiritual beings having a human experience, and I hope not too far in the future we’ll be able to get rid of labels and get back to basics.

P
eople actually still play role-playing games, and with gusto. They do. Like—grown-ass adults, even. We’re talking 20-sided dice, people speaking in faux Olde English, folks gathered around a kitchen table until the wee hours, maps of made-up countries drawn in pencil. I had previously been under the impression that those kinds of nerds all migrated over to Reddit, but I was grossly mistaken. And I do not use the word “nerd” in the pejorative; I have a karma-heavy Reddit account and I played RPGs as an adolescent (and, yes, a few times as an adult). I’m on the inside, in a way. Or at least perched on the edge. For those who don’t know RPGs, the most famous of which is Dungeons & Dragons, this is the deal: A small group of people get together and pick various fantasy characters with various skills and various quirks. They’re led by a game master (GM), who has fig-ured out some general storyline or quest for them to pursue, but it’s virtually guaranteed that they will stray from any strict narrative. They interact with each other, meet enemies, meet friends, end up in strange places and so on—and when there is some kind of conflict, they roll a die of many sides to see how aggressive the harm inflicted upon them was. This is all done around a table and sitting in chairs, with words. There are no plastic medieval helmets or foam swords involved, unless it’s
specifically a live-action RPG. (That’s on a whooooole other level.) Sounds kind of stupid until you either do it or watch other people do it. When really imaginative, funny people get together and start making up absurd sto-
rylines with characters like ogres, oozes and socially awkward humanoids, shit gets entertaining fast. Also, playing these games in adulthood, you get to add beer into the mix. Even the kind practiced by teens at a card table, though, has a performative aspect that’s wasted when relegated to mom’s basement.
Turns out that listening to other people play RPGs is having a bit of a moment. The most popular is probably Critical Role, a podcast in which professional voice actors play for three to five hours at a time, which has been running weekly since March 2015—and as of this writing, the latest campaign was six days old and had 312,000 views on YouTube. This is more than some nerds’ side hustle. This is a bona fide thing on the internet. Turns out Santa Fe has one of these live games too. In Plus One To Mischief, a new-ish project that’s part live podcast, part staged reading and part improv show, local actor Kevin Atkinson has brought out of the woodwork a few RPG players who perhaps don’t call themselves actors, but also don’t mind being onstage. I attended the opening campaign on June 19 at the Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing Company (Plus One’s home for this round of events), and the players had a quiet buzz—they weren’t bouncing off the walls, but I could tell they had some strange stuff up their sleeves. They were Aileen Mell (Wilma, a witch, or maybe not a witch?), Tim Brown (Squeak, a space squirrel) and David Tran
(Panini, a slovenly human with a litterbox but no cat). Atkinson, acting as GM, commanded them with the kind of quick wit that could only belong to a lifelong nerd with a degree in performing arts (I acted with him in 2017’s Unnecessary Farce, and I’d call him a low-key come-
back king. He also hosts the Geeks Who Drink pub quiz at Boxcar on Tuesdays, if you’re curious). We were introduced to the characters in a relatively leisurely fashion, but considering Critical Role’s campaigns can run to five hours a pop, that the “first act” of Plus One clocked in at about 90 minutes was actually quite conservative. They didn’t get too far by the time we took a break—they had all left their homes and ended up in different rooms of an architecturally impossible building, talking through walls to one another. All four involved are funny and energetic, but my personal favorite was Mell, whose off-the-cuff humor transcended the easy reach, was surprising and straight-faced while making me laugh heartily out loud. (Trying to get a priest to leave her home, she said she was baking a pie. The priest noted that her oven was cold. “Oh! No wonder it’s taking so long!” she cried somewhat absently.) It drags at times, but few theatrical productions are immune to that—and considering this is mostly improvised and isn’t presented by professional actors, I consider it impressive that it is often even more lively than stuff you pay to see in a traditional theater. Plus, in this kind of venue, if it drags a bit, you can go get anoth another beer or hit the food truck—not a luxury afforded at many other performing arts spaces. I had to skip out at intermission, though, so I was sure to touch base with Atkinson before I left. “I have friends in town, so I need to get back to them. They actually wanted to come, but when I went to tell them I was leaving, they were asleep.” “Oh, good!” Atkinson says, without missing a beat. “I’m just as happy when people sleep through my stuff as when they actually come to it. That’s great.” Writing it here, it sounds pretty biting—but Atkinson’s delivery made it hilarious and actually kind, somehow. This kind of wit can make almost anything funny. Throw a space squirrel in the mix and you’ve got an effortless evening for nerds and notnerds alike. PLUS ONE TO MISCHIEF 7 pm Monday July 2. Free.

n a town overflowing with fabulous restaurants, talented chefs and gorgeous local ingredients, it makes sense that the medical cannabis dispensaries would have some pretty serious game when it comes to edibles. Santa Fe is a hotspot for foodies, and luckily there are loads of places for patients who don’t want to make any sacrifices in terms of flavor.
Best Daze
4641 Airport Road, 585-4937 bestdaze.com The edibles at Best Daze are strong across the board, from 200 mg gummies ($24) to 50 mg cannabis-infused chocolate disks ($7.50). The latter come in a range of delicious flavors, from dark chocolate and espresso (with an added kick from a sativa infusion) to a white chocolate and strawberry paired with indica. There’s even a selection of donuts that come with either a strawberry or chocolate glaze, each for $4.20—expensive for a donut, but reasonable given the secret ingredient. It tasted delicious, but hands-down my favorite specialty item involved the dispensary’s unique “nannobis,” a delivery system that involves a nano-sized emulsion of THC. These were flavored “potsicles” which come in 50 mg or 25 mg doses for $10 and $5.50, respectively. The benefits of nannobis are enhanced therapeutic effects and a minimized hangover, and I

Fruit of the Earth Organics 901 Early St., 310-7917 fruitoftheearthorganics.com
Fruit of the Earth has an excellent selection of edibles, packaged in biodegradable brown bags. All the cannabis is grown outdoors and organically, and owner Lyra Barron operates the neighboring Edible Alchemy as well, although all the edibles for Fruit of the Earth are made in a separate facility to avoid cross-contamination. Organically made treats come in flavors like piña colada and red chile, produced in delightful miniatures at various doses. There are plenty of low-glycemic options for those wishing to avoid sugar, although you wouldn’t know it from the indulgent taste. My favorite were the $10 indica lemon bars which, at 10 mg apiece, I found easy to eat without overindulging.
Kure Cannabis

cannabis and makes almost all its own edibles in-house. Since Kure doesn’t have to make products to satisfy a broad audience, the edibles have an almost boutique, gourmet quality about them, particularly the chocolate bars. These are single-origin beanto-bar delights, which owners Minka Ingersoll and Frederick Lucas process in-house from cacao pods sourced from countries such as Bolivia and Peru. The bars come in different doses ($15 for 100 mg, $10 for 50 and $5 for 25) and, in addi addition to artisan chocolate, Kure offers a full menu of products, such as Kure Coolers, which are fresh-squeezed infused juices. I had the 12 oz indica watermelon cucumber mint ($12), which I would highly recommend as a refreshing warm-weather treat. I also snacked on organic lemon mini cupcakes ($4). At 10 mg of sativa apiece, these were a light, breezy style of high that left me feeling remarkably clear-headed as I went about my day. CBD options are also available, although these are produced under the separate business heading of Kure Wellness, which handles all the non-regulated products. The dispensary itself is cheerful and friendly, even allowing people to bring their dogs (and letting them indulge in flavored CBD doggie treats once in a while too).
Minerva Canna
1710 Cerrillos Road, 982-1090 minervacanna.com As the superlative dispensary in Santa Fe for flavorful edibles in manageable doses, the baked goods at Minerva are so good I find myself wishing I could get them undosed just so I could nosh on them all day whenever I wanted. Executive baker

gor Bethany Orbison crafts gorgeous magic bars, lemon squares, somecheesecake, gummies and cookies, some intimes with a seasonal bent. She takes in spiration from classic snacks that have the sheen of nostalgia, such as Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, and makes fromscratch versions featuring high-quality, organic ingredients. All the chocolate used in house is sourced from Valrhona, a French chocolate manufacturer based in Tain-l’Hermitage, the high-quality flavoring oils are from a company called Lorann that services pharmacies and health practitioners, and the pork gelatin used to make gummies is made from skin rather than any gnarly bits, sourced from Altamira by way of Denver. Orbison also plans to incorporate house-made ice cream into the menu. Doses are kept reasonably low, often clocking in at 80 mg for a large square baked good. Her attention to detail pays off immensely, as her edibles taste fantastic. My favorites were a dark chocolate coffee and sea salt cookie ($12), which knocked me out of this world in more ways than one. A similarly priced raspberry oatmeal square was delicious crumbled up over yogurt for a late-night snack. Patient Windy Carter prefers the liquid options. “My favorite drinks in town are Minerva’s lemonade and Arnold Palmers,” she says, “and I also love the peanut butter gold bars.”

+ DINOS ARE
When Laura Dern and Sam Neil craned their necks to behold a wandering pack of brontosauruses in the original Jurassic Park 25 years ago, the music swelled, the emotions bubbled and audiences were filled with a deep sense of awe. When Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard run afoul of whatever dinosaurs happen their way in the franchise’s newest entry, it is painfully obvious that this series needs to go extinct. Welcome to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a tired and way-too-long slog from JA Bayona, director of the excellent 2007 horror film The Orphanage. This bad boy doesn’t even register on the dumb summer popcorn flick scale thanks to its retreading of old material disguised as homage, parallel utter lack of acting and story quality, and heavy-handed performances from everyone throughout. When last we left our heroes, they’d escaped yet another dino theme park gone awry and now, just like in the third Jurassic Park (that’s the one where Sam Neil goes back to the island for some reason), they must return on some misguided animal rights mission because—get this—turns out

there was a volcano there the whole time and it’s active suddenly and nobody wants the dinos to die. Again. Oof. But it turns out the guys behind the mercy mission are animal traffickers hired by yet another generation of ne’er-do-wells (plus BD Wong, again, for who-knows-why) who plan on getting rich through dino-cloning and genetic manipulation; people start getting eaten and our heroes must intervene or, like, more people gonna get eaten. Pratt seems bored here as an animal behaviorist (yeah, right) and is not even allowed to do that rogue-ish smarm-charm for which he’s become known in better movies like Guardians of the Galaxy. Howard, meanwhile, brings no heat whatsoever to the role of a former exec now laboring under a nonprofit change of heart and trying to save animals because life is sacred or something. Other cast members exist, it’s just they matter so little that one almost wonders why they appear in
the first place. Comic relief? Depth? If so, you’d never know it, and the script certainly isn’t doing them any favors, nor are the endless chase scenes, perilous moments of dino terror or beyond-silly narrative. With news of any Star Wars spinoffs biting the dust this week due to low box office numbers, we can only hope moviegoers enact a similar takedown of the Jurassic movies. Steven Spielberg captured something special with his first adaptation of the Michel Crichton universe all those years ago. Today’s attempts feel stale and business-like, the sort of product churned out to take advantage of nostalgia and a slap in the face of everyone who ever felt a sense of wonder for the idea of prehistoric beasts.

TRUTH IS CRAZIER THAN FICTION
- NOT ENUF SUMMER FILMS LIKE THIS
Award-winning director Bart Layton (The Imposter) writes and directs this brilliant take on the true story of four college kids who nearly got away with a rare book robbery in the early aughts. With clever editing and fantastic performances throughout, the film cuts back and forth between reenactments of the ill-fated heist’s planning stages and bumbling execution, and interviews with the real-life robbers themselves, weaving a story that is at turns hilarious, jaw-dropping and heart-wrenching. It all begins when Spencer (Barry Keoghan) confesses to his thieving friend Warren (American Horror Story vet Evan Peters) that he feels his life has no purpose. Oh, and that there’s this book of original Audubon paintings at his college library worth millions. The charismatic Warren soon wrangles more accomplices willing to see the heist through but, as they soon find out, it’s not as easy as they’d thought. Unlike other heist films, American Animals presents its players as operating with a

A telling moment of Bruce LaBruce’s 2017 film The Misandrists comes 10 minutes in when a young woman, Ute (Victoire Laly), sits tersely on a bed, lamenting that men are the pigs of the world. Not the animal—God no, we like animals; men are the cops of the world. Ute is one of 13 members of the all-woman Female Liberation Army (FLA), a so-called army of lovers and the brainchild of the glamorous ideologue Big Mother (Susanne Sachße). They all live in a chic villa in the isolated German countryside. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

supply spooky-little-kid vibes in a quiet, capable way. It is delightfully surprising, then, that the true revelations behind the family’s troubles are nothing like what early looks and trailers led us to believe. Instead, Hereditary becomes a twisted vision of sheer evil and artistry that takes its time and builds slowly, sometimes excruciatingly, right up to its bizarre, horrifying conclusion. (Alex De Vore) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 127 min.
SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY
6
Wait a minute. Is Toni Collette breaking down crying in Hereditary because there IS life after death and, as such, there are no true consequences to our actions meaning that ours is an endless cycle or hollow, painful experiences, signifying absolutely nothing?
But their lesbian separatist idyll is threatened when a male political fugitive stumbles into their territory and one girl takes pity, secretly harboring him in the basement of their strictly no-boys-allowed homestead. “When are we going to posit ourselves authentically as subjects?” Ute huffs, pacing beside the bed. Her companion smiles coyly. “I know how we can posit ourselves, authentically, as subjects,” she replies, and they descend into girlish erotics. They must, because the sisters of the FLA are LaBruce’s kitschy concoction; but instead of sugar and spice and everything nice, they’re one part critical theory (“Don’t quote Schopenhauer to me,” one girl jeers at another), one part second-wave feminist utopian rhetoric and one part eye candy for the male voyeur, and markedly so; the girls don ass-flashing schoolgirl kilts, hold all-group pillow fights, and chase each other through meadows. White underwear flutters on the clothesline. Despite B-movie acting and a low-grade cultish charm, The Misandrists troubled me enough to keep my mind grappling with its politics long after the credits—in large part because it’s hard to know just what its politics are. The creators don’t show their hands, at one moment giving the FLA a satirical treatment (their rhetoric is full of cringey jargon like “Ger-woman-y” and “womanual”), and the next elevating their ideals as real tools of justice. Gender essentialism is the group’s credo, and violently anti-trans sen-
timent is sometimes condemned, sometimes rewarded in the movie’s world. Perhaps in line with a feminist critique of authoritarian leadership, the “womanager” Big Mother is the story’s most flawed and ultimately violent character (as to the violence, I seriously caution the squeamish). The bad acting quickly becomes forgivable, and after that, endearing. The film is good fun for the viewer with a radical streak in her heart, since it’s filled with bits of revolutionary dialogue and visual Easter eggs, like a mural of anarchist Emma Goldman in the background of one bedroom scene. Probably best to know: It’s porn-heavy, and how much “good fun” that is will hinge on your tastes. Politically, it can be hard to resolve when to cheer and when to balk. Except for conservatives. Conservatives will definitely balk the whole time. True to title, if you can’t stomach a little misandry, stay away! (Eva Rosenfeld) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 91 min.

+ ORIGINAL AND TRULY SCARY - SOME SCENES LAG AND FEEL SHOEHORNED IN
Director Ari Aster firmly asserts his place within the pantheon of new wave horror cinema auteurs with Hereditary, his first full-length film and a decidedly terrifying yet subtle experi-
ence that keeps up with—or even surpasses— other 21st-century highlights such as 2014’s It Follows. Aster’s world is one that feels all at once dreamlike and haunting, yet all too real, like a nightmare one can’t shake or a long-residing and throbbing pain from outside the physical realm. Here we meet Annie (Toni Collette), an artist and mother grappling with the recent death of her estranged mother. Annie has seemingly cobbled together quite the life, from her husband (Gabriel Byrne) and children to her thriving arts practice and gallery representation. But when an unspeakable accident occurs, the dynamic between the family is inextricably changed, and her entire existence begins to unravel while those closest to her begin to suspect she’s struggling with mental illness and misplaced grief. At her best, Collette achieves a measured balance between protective mother, loving wife and grieving woman; at her worst, she errs too far toward hammy. Still, her character is believably flawed and human even as we question whether her new circumstances are real or imagined (think Essie Davis’ wonderful sleep-deprived flirtation with insanity in the brilliant Australian horror film The Babadook). Elsewhere, Byrne is underused and middle sections drag under the weight of early shocking scenes. Alex Wolff (from that new Jumanji) stands out, however, as a son dealing with his own guilt and confusion, while newcomer Milly Shapiro helps
+ EVEN WHEN IT AIN’T GREAT, STAR WARS IS STILL PRETTY FUN
- LOW STAKES; BORING HUMOR
Every time it seems young Han Solo is about to face some overwhelming and perilous situation in the newest Star Wars offshoot film, a little voice in the back of our head says, “Yeah, but we know it’s gonna be OK.” We know he’ll live, we know he’ll fight another day, we know that no matter what else happens, he’ll one day rescue a princess, fall in love, have a smarmy goth kid who goes full Sith and on and on. And there’s the rub, even if it’s from a film that famously lost its original directors and brought on Ron “Willow” Howard to reshoot a hefty number of scenes. In Solo: A Star Wars Story, we get the lowdown on what made Han Solo Han Solo, from his early adventures and his surname to his lost love and iconic friendships with that Kashyyykian champion himself Chewbacca and the super-sexy Lando Calrissian. But a significant chunk of the story falls flat under our preconceived notions about the character, leaving audiences to force-chuckle at that irritating movie trope wherein someone says something like, “You should fight for something more than yourself!” We know, of course, that he will one day. Hail Caesar’s Alden Ehrenreich is more than capable as young Han, a rogue-ish type with a killer smile enamored by the idea of an outlaw lifestyle, but ultimately a survivor with a heart of gold. After a difficult upbringing in the slums of some planet, Han winds up fighting for the Empire in hopes of becoming a pilot, but Q’ira, the woman he left behind (Emilia Clarke of Game of Thrones), preys on him always. Han is thus wrapped up in the intergalactic game of smuggling and thievery to try and make a buck and get back to her. Under the wing of the criminal Beckett (Woody Harrelson, Cheers), Han learns and grows and evolves and blah blah blah. Donald Glover’s turn as Lando becomes the most exciting part of the film as Glover nails that Billy Dee Williams vocal affect and plants the CONTINUED ON PAGE 43

We have bad news for the now-canceled Solo spin-off Space Train. Jay kay. seeds of self-preservation we know from The Empire Strikes Back. Harrelson shines as well as the unscrupulous space burglar with shifting allegiances and priorities. Clarke, meanwhile, feels a tad goofy and underused, a romantic interest whose backstory becomes “Don’t worry about it.” But Han’s doing-it-for-the-girl thing seems a fine enough motivation as any, even if a more complete idea of his guilt over not saving Q’ira is poorly explored; Chewie remains his most important relationship. And it’s middling low-stakes fun through the galaxy, though in comparison to 2016’s Rogue One—a story with characters we hadn’t forged feelings about a million years ago—the Star Wars world has felt much more fresh and intriguing. Everything here is tempered by what we already know and lacks a certain drama because of that. Oh, and enough with the sassy robots, Star Wars. It’s starting to feel stale.

of a number of cases she presided over and how she handled them. She is funny and composed, an avid arts and opera fan who seemingly never tires and takes seriously her charge to work for the American people. For Ginsburg, we learn (or re-learn) that the job is never about partisanship or special interests; it’s about helping to shape the country in a way that is mutually beneficial for all. She’s not naive, however, and plans to continue the fight, she says, “so long as she can go at it full-steam.” There are no signs of stopping, and it’s endlessly inspiring and amusing to observe her boom within pop culture. Be warned, however, that some of the content may drive one mad—from the shamelessly one-sided ideology of old white men and pervasive lack of equality in America, to the level to which Ginsburg has constantly had to rise in order to prove herself. Tirelessly. Again and again. Still, we’re glad to know she’s still out there crusading, and we can only hope RBG is shown to everyone—particularly young people—for a long time to come. (ADV) Violet Crown, PG, 98 min.

Now in her mid-80s, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is enjoying a bit of late-in-life rockstar status. Much of this has to do with her shuffling more toward liberalism after George W Bush appointed two conservative justices during his presidential tenure (Ginsburg was decidedly more moderate in her rulings beforehand) and the subsequent numerous dissenting opinions she’s filed, such as against a 2014 ruling that found crafts mega-corp Hobby Lobby wouldn’t need to take women’s reproductive health into account within its employee health coverage. Regardless, she’s come to be known as a bit of a badass and an icon not just for feminism, but fighting for what’s morally right. American history fans are no doubt aware of Ginsburg’s track record dating back to the 1970s when, as a lawyer, she first argued before the Supreme Court and worked to turn the tide for women in this country. About time, then, that she’d become the focus of a documentary—and a damn fine one at that. In RBG, from documentarians Julie Cohen and Betsy West, we finally get the full picture. It’s a tale of breaking boundaries and emotional resonance wherein Ginsburg is proven to be not only a staunch ally to women, but to men, people of color and indeed the American underdog. Through interviews with friends, family, former clients and current colleagues, a sense of deep admiration from all sides of the aisle emerges proving that even those who might disagree with Ginsburg can’t help but be drawn to her grace and enamored with her style and accomplishments.

This wonderful cat was surrendered because his owner was no longer living where they could have a pet. TEMPERAMENT: FERDINAND [FERDIE] is very social and inquisitive. He is currently being fostered in a home with several small dogs with whom he is quite comfortable. However, he and the other male cat do not get along, but he might be fine with a female. Although not a purebred Maine Coon, FERDINAND has a wonderful thick coat with a white tip on his tail and a small blaze on his chest. AGE: Approx. 3/26/16.

Week of June 27th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your best ideas and soundest decisions will materialize as if by magic while you’re lounging around doing nothing in a worry-free environment. So please make sure you have an abundance of relaxed slack and unhurried grace. Treat yourself to record-setting levels of comfort and self-care. Do whatever’s necessary for you to feel as safe as you have ever felt. I realize these prescriptions might ostensibly clash with your fiery Aries nature. But if you meditate on them for even two minutes, I bet you’ll agree they’re exquisitely appropriate for you right now.
tion, but in my opinion, that’s what is most likely to motivate you to do the right thing. Here’s another splashy prompt, courtesy of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre: “We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made us.”
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): André René Roussimoff, also known as André the Giant, was a French actor and professional wrestler. He was 7 feet, 4 inches tall and weighed 520 pounds. As you might imagine, he ate and drank extravagantly. On one festive occasion, he quaffed 119 bottles of beer in six hours. Judging from your curTAURUS (April 20-May 20): “It is always what is under rent astrological indicators, Scorpio, I suspect you may pressure in us, especially under pressure of concealment be ready for a binge like that. JUST KIDDING! I sincerely — that explodes in poetry.” Taurus poet Adrienne Rich hope you won’t indulge in such wasteful forms of “pleawrote that in an essay about the poet Emily Dickinson. She sure.” The coming days should be a time when you was describing the process of tapping into potent but bur- engage in a focused pursuit of uplifting and healthy ied feelings so as to create beautiful works of literature.

You’ve got to was perhaps touting a similar principle when, after start turning big, bright fantasies into crisp, no-nonsense teasing and tormenting me for two hours, she scrawled realities. In light of these shifting conditions, I suspect you on my bathroom mirror in lipstick, “Sometimes you can no longer use your good intentions as leverage, but enjoy life better if you don’t understand it.” Then there’s must deliver more tangible signs of commitment.

For extra credit, pump your writer G. K. Chesterton: “We need to be happy in this fist ten times each day as you growl, “Victory is mine!” wonderland without once being merely comfortable.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s not so bad to temporarily lose your bearings. What’s bad is not capitalizing on the disruption that caused you to lose your bearings. So I propose that you regard the fresh commotion as a blessing. Use it as motivation to initiate radical changes. For example, escape the illusions and deceptions that caused you to lose your bearings. Explore unruly emotions that may be at the root of the superpowers you will fully develop in the future. Transform yourself into a brave self-healer who is newly receptive to a host of medicinal clues that were not previously accessible.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ecologists in Mexico City investigated why certain sparrows and finches use humans’ discarded cigarette butts in building their nests. They found that cellulose acetate, a chemical in the butts, protects the nests by repelling parasitic mites. Is there a metaphorical lesson you might draw from the birds’ ingenious adaptation, Aquarius? Could you find good use for what might seem to be dross or debris? My analysis of the astrological omens says that this possibility is worth meditating on.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I suspect that sometime VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s my list of demands: 1. soon you will come into possession of an enchanted Avoid hanging out with people who are unreceptive to potion or pixie dust or a pouch full of magic beans — or your influence. 2.
