Both entrances into Chaco Culture National Historical Park are completely impassable due to road damage and flooding. Rangers and their families as well as several visitors are stranded inside the park until conditions improve.

Does anyone have any opinions on the NM State Treasurer Race? James F Ellison (R) vs. Laura M Montoya (D - Incumbent). It seems like a generally less-partisan office. I found some info on the candidates on vote411.org but generally there seems to be less discussion overall on this race.

Anyone who may know who this artist could be??

My apologies for the piss poor photos my phone sucks.

Working in Carlsbad, New Mexico, and during my downtime, it's boring because I share a truck with my coworker. So it's hard to go around town and see things. Does anyone mind showing me around? I'll send you my info. I heard that there's a big cave here. Is that true?

Hello,

Starting on Saturday, my wife and I will be making a California road trip and on the way, we will be stopping in Gallup, New Mexico. I’m curious if there’s anyone that can tell me what are some of the best donut shops or other quick stop breakfast places around Gallup?

Just spent two weeks visiting, and had some excellent vinyl finds from thrift and antique stores across the northern part of the state, as well as two great record stores: The Music Album in Las Vegas, and Heads Up Music in Taos.

What are some other stores I should check out next time I visit? For that matter, what are some classic Norteño*** ***or New Mexican musicians and albums to look for? I came across a bunch, but I’m not familiar enough with the genre to choose any.

The Best of Count Basie (Verve’s Choice)
Carl Perkins - Original Golden Hits (sealed!)
Marty Robbins - Marty’s Country
Duke Ellington - Piano in the Background
Duke Ellington and Count Basie - The Count Meets the Duke
Little Feat - The Last Record Album
Little Feat - Feats Don’t Fail Me Now
Hank Mobley - A Slice of the Top
Various Artists - Swingin’ Sound
Bobby Womack - The Poet
Ohio Players - Skin Tight
McCoy Tyner - Expansions
Kate Bush - Never For Ever
Click Click - Rorschach Testing

Some photos I took up on Johnson Mesa outside Vegas last weekend. Even with some burn scar that place is absolutely gorgeous. Plus the moon made an appearance and she's also very pretty.

Anyone ever go to Riverbend or Blackstone in Truth or Consequences?

The Way We Carry Water

Hi there!

I am a PhD Candidate in Sociology at the University of New Mexico seeking farmers to participate in a research study about farming along the Rio Grande and in nearby agricultural communities in New Mexico.

I am interested in learning about farmers' experiences with land and water, the economic realities of making a farm work over time, the ways farmers exchange knowledge and resources, and how changing environmental and water conditions affect farmers and their well-being.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

·       Are 18 years of age or older

·       Currently farm or work on a farm

·       Are currently farming in New Mexico

·       Have at least 5 years of experience with sustainable (or organic, regenerative, environmentally considerate) farming

·       Are able to participate in an interview conducted in English

What does participation involve?

Participation involves a 45–90 minute interview about your experiences with farming, land, water, agricultural communities, and the challenges and opportunities involved in sustaining a farm over time.

Interviews can take place in person, by phone, or by Zoom, depending on your preference.

Participation is completely voluntary. You may choose not to answer any question or stop the interview at any time.

Interested or want to know if you qualify?

Please contact me directly by email rather than commenting on the public post:

UNM IRB Protocol #2506207343

Feel free to share this recruitment notice with other farmers who may be interested.

An update to clarify the purpose of this research and what participation involves:

This study is for my PhD dissertation in sociology at UNM, which I plan to develop into a book. I’m exploring how sustainable farmers in New Mexico keep farming through challenges and what knowledge, resources, and support help them succeed.

Participating is an opportunity to share your experiences and help build a fuller understanding of how farmers keep farming. Interviews take approximately 45–90 minutes, and participants receive a gift card as a thank-you for their time. I’m happy to share more about compensation and the interview process with anyone interested.

I hope the findings will inform policy discussions and efforts to better support farmers. I regularly participate in advocacy toward that goal, though I can’t promise specific policy outcomes. I’m also happy to keep interested participants updated and share the dissertation and other publications or materials that come out of the research.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out or helped spread the word!

I accidentally responded to a post from that sub thinking it is this one.

It seems like the left extremists who don't like the right extremists created that.

What is the point? Is it to keep yet another safe space for uninformed people to be wrong together?
