» Florida’s six-week abortion ban closer to being signed into law

After the Republican-dominated Florida Senate approved a bill banning abortions in Florida after six weeks of pregnancy, the Senate version is teed up for discussion in its own chamber this week. With last week’s vote, the bill (which includes exceptions up to 15 weeks for victims of rape, incest and human trafficking) is closer to reaching the desk of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s said he would sign the legislation into law. But, even if that happens, it will NOT go into effect immediately. As written, the six-week limit would be contingent upon the Florida Supreme Court upholding Florida’s 15-week ban, which has been legally challenged after being signed into law last year. It’s unclear when the court will rule on the challenge, though it probably will be after the legislative session. Florida Democrats say the six-week limit is essentially an all-out ban, because who knows they’re pregnant at six weeks anyway? Plus, with other Florida laws on the books already affecting abortion access (e.g., a 24-hour waiting period between appointments to get an abortion), the process of getting an abortion will just be made that much harder, if not essentially impossible in the state. Because Florida’s long been a safe haven for abortion access in the South, this has implications beyond Florida, but even here, it’s pretty damn scary.

» A bill to restrict gender-affirming treatment for trans Floridians advances

Last week we shared a list of anti-LGBTQ bills proposed by Republicans this session, and many of them are getting closer to being signed into law, including a bill restricting drag performances, as well as legislation that would ban gender-affirming medical care for trans and nonbinary youth and restrict access for adults. The full Florida Senate last week passed the latter, with just one Republican (Gayle Harrell of Stuart) siding with Democrats to vote against it. Supporters of the bill say it’s meant to “protect” children from “experimental” treatments. In fact, gender-affirming medical care, such as puberty blockers, for the treatment of gender dysphoria is endorsed by every major medical association. So critics understandably called bullsh*t on the idea that this is some form of “protection.” Although Florida medical boards already adopted rules earlier this year that banned Florida youth from accessing gender-affirming treatments, this legislation would put those rules into law and could lead to felony charges for doctors who provide the treatments to minors. Under the bill, adults would also have to sign consent forms, developed by the medical boards, to access the treatment. And the bill would prevent the use of telehealth in providing treatments for adults as well. Related: The DeSantis administration last year eliminated Medicaid reimbursements for gender-affirming treatment — a move that’s been challenged in federal court. A federal judge last week rejected a request by DeSantis’ administration to shield a top health official from testifying in that lawsuit.

» PETA calls out SeaWorld Orlando after getting records of dolphin and trainer injuries

Animal rights organization PETA has obtained federal records citing two incidents of animal and trainer injuries sustained at SeaWorld Orlando. The records — one report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and one from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration — show that a dolphin was allegedly attacked by its mates and an orca bit down on a trainer’s wrist, both last year. The USDA report reveals that a 25-yearold dolphin named Rascal sustained serious injuries from dolphins in its enclosure in October. The report notes he had been trembling and unwilling to lift his tail fin. Rascal’s dental arcade had also been worn away, the report says, so he was allegedly unable to defend himself. Just days after, a SeaWorld visitor captured another dolphin seemingly sustaining injuries and bleeding from its face during a dolphin show and posted the video on TikTok. The second report, obtained from OSHA, details a June incident in which a SeaWorld trainer sustained wrist injuries while cleaning the inside of an orca’s mouth. The killer whale unexpectedly closed its mouth with the trainer’s hand inside, leading to the employee suffering multiple bone fractures.

» The LGBT+ Center Orlando opens 2023 scholarships for area students

The scholarship program, which grants recipients $500 each, is open to students who reside in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties and who require financial assistance. Applicants must also hold

a minimum 2.5 GPA and have already been accepted at a college, university or trade school for the 2023-2024 academic year. The deadline for applications is Thursday, June 1, at 5 p.m. Recipients will be notified no later than June 28. To apply, fill out the online application at thecenterorlando.org and email it back to scholarship@thecenterorlando. org.

» Walt Disney World will resume sales of annual passes this month

For the first time since late 2021, Walt Disney World will resume sales of annual passes. (If you were standing outside Thursday, when the news was announced, you probably heard the distant, ecstatic screams of Disney adults everywhere.) The sales of three levels of annual passes — Incredi-Pass, Sorcerer and Pirate Pass — resume online starting April 20. Sales of the Florida resident-exclusive Pixie Dust pass will continue unaffected. For Disney Vacation Club members, the Sorcerer Pass will be available online early on April 13. There will only be a limited number of each tier of pass available, so you’ll need to act fast if you want to claim one.

» Florida pol behind union-busting bill got $19K from business groups last month

Remember that anti-union bill we’ve been reporting on that targets Florida’s public sector unions (with the exception of cops, firefighters, probation and corrections officers)? Turns out the Republican lawmaker behind the Senate version, Sen. Blaise Ingoglia of Spring Hill, raked in at least $19,000 from pro-business organizations just in March alone via his political action committee, weirdly dubbed “Government Gone Wild.” That includes a $4,000 donation from the Associated Builders and Contractors of Florida, an organization that regularly takes anti-union positions and which notably opposed Florida’s 2020 ballot initiative to raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 by October 2026. His PAC also received $10,000 from the Floridians for Economic Advancement, a committee tied to the 2020 “ghost candidates,” as first reported by the Orlando Sentinel

REMOTE CONTROL

Florida’s local elected officials worry state preemption bills could chill local policymaking

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

With a number of controversial proposals advancing through Florida’s state legislature at a rapid pace, some local elected officials in Florida are sounding the alarm on a slew of preemption bills that they worry would undermine efforts to pursue local solutions to issues affecting their communities.

“We’re having a hard time addressing our residents’ housing needs, how to protect vulnerable populations, getting funding for our public schools or [to] conserve our precious natural resources,” said Joshua Simmons, a Coral Springs commissioner, during a press conference last week.

“These attempts by the legislature to stop us from doing our job makes it hard for us to be who we need to be — to be the public servants that we went out and campaigned for,” Simmons added.

Simmons and other local officials from across the state of Florida shared their concerns at a conference organized by Local Progress to discuss several bills filed during Florida’s 60-day legislative session that would preempt (or prevent) local governments from enacting certain policies that exceed state laws and regulations.

For instance, rent control. Or local policies to help combat climate change.

These bills would, in essence, wrest control from local elected officials — such as city and county commissioners — and give that to the state.

“As Floridians weather the worst affordable housing emergency of our lifetimes, our state legislature has filed multiple bills that will make it even harder for local governments to help our communities keep a roof over their heads,” said Orange County commissioner Emily Bonilla.

One bill, described by local attorney Jay Mobley as “corporate greed disguised as tenant-friendly legislation,” would allow landlords and property managers to charge their tenants perpetual non-refundable monthly fees, instead of a refundable upfront security deposit.

Another would prohibit local governments from passing ordinances that bolster tenant protections not already granted to Florida residents under state law — protections like a 60-day notice requirement for rent increases above 5%, a ban on discrimination against tenants based on their source of income, a flood disclosure requirement, or something like Orange County’s “Tenants Bill of Rights.”

In Orange County — and other municipalities across the state — that’s something advocates fought hard for.

“It’s hard not to feel paranoid in this position, because it seems like everything we try to do at the local level, the next session, they try to preempt everything,” said Bonilla.

Another bill, SB 102, already signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, prohibits local governments from capping rent increases — a policy more commonly known as “rent control” or “rent stabilization.”

Previously in Florida, implementing rent control was already a complicated, multi-step process that required a local government to first identify (and substantiate) a housing state of emergency and then put rent control up for a vote by residents.

Sound familiar? That’s because Orange County did this last year.

Fifty-nine percent of Orange County voters — over 225,000 residents — voted in favor of a rent stabilization proposal in November that would have, for just one year, capped rent increases to no more than 9.8%.

Think about it: For a $1,200-per-month apartment, that’s $117.60. For a $2,200-per-month apartment, that’s $215.60. Not unreasonable, right?

Unless you’re the Florida Apartment Association or the Florida Realtors — two trade groups that sued the county over the rent cap proposal, blocking it from going into effect.

The Florida Realtors, for its part, celebrated SB 102’s passage.

Now, under state law, pursuing any kind of rent control in Florida is out of the question.

For local elected officials and politicians, that ban (slipped into a broader affordable housing bill like some sort of poison pill) feels targeted.

House Bill 1617, for instance, would prevent local governments from getting public funds to issue community identification.

According to Coral Springs Commissioner Nancy Metayer Brown, being able to receive a community ID “is critical” for Floridians who do not have the necessary requirements to receive a state-issued ID card or driver’s license — such as some formerly incarcerated people and undocumented immigrants.

House Bill 1, an education proposal already signed into law by Gov. DeSantis, could undercut Florida’s public schools, according to critics, and it could cost local school districts. The bill expands Florida’s school voucher program, allowing school children of all income levels to receive taxpayer-funded vouchers that could be used to pay for private school tuition.

The Florida Policy Institute, a progressive think tank, estimates the universal voucher program could cost the state $4 billion.

Another bill would essentially prohibit local policy for more resilient buildings or home energy improvements, while yet another would undermine local attempts to improve water quality or prevent pollution, according to Alissa Jean Schafer, a former Broward County Soil & Water Conservation supervisor.

“Pollution, we know generally, is not just a blanket thing that covers an entire state all at once. It happens usually in very localized instances,” said Schafer, in explanation of the bill’s potential impact. “So to have a bill that would literally handcuff the people that are close to the pollution from doing anything about what is happening to the waterways, for example, in their own neighborhoods is absolutely ridiculous,” she added, calling these bills “political theater.”

Lastly, another big preemption bill would allow businesses to sue local governments for up to $50,000 for passing local ordinances that are “arbitrary or unreasonable” and which harm business owners’ bottom line.

That could include local regulations on things such as noise, vacation rentals, the use of single-use plastics or worker protection policies.

“It’s so broad is the biggest concern — like, it essentially can capture everything,” said Francesca Menes, deputy organizing director for Local Progress.

A similar proposal was passed by the state legislature and vetoed by DeSantis last year.

This year’s version is a “compromise bill,” according to Menes.

“These bills just add insult to injury,” said Bonilla, who was a vocal proponent of Orange County’s rent stabilization proposal. “The bottom line here is that local governments are closest to the communities. We know far better than the state what support our communities need to stay housed.”

A Local Progress poll, conducted last year, found bipartisan support for limiting rent increases — with 8 out of 10 Florida voters polled saying they agreed with the idea.

Florida was the nation’s fastest-growing state last year, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. A grim combination of high demand, a lack of available supply, and corporate greed disrupting the housing market has led to skyrocketing rent prices over the last two years, and there’s not enough safe, affordable housing to go around.

BEYOND HOUSING

But it’s not just proposals that could blunt local elected officials’ attempts to find solutions to Florida’s housing crisis that have them worried.

With about one month left in Florida’s 2023 legislative session, several of these bills are advancing through Florida’s legislature or have already reached Gov. DeSantis’ desk for his signature.

That’s in no small part due to the fact that Florida’s legislature is now controlled by a supermajority of Republicans, who are now capable of streamlining their legislative priorities.

It’s not a level playing field for Democrats, or for general critics of Republican-sponsored bills that are gaining traction.

Still, local elected officials who are worried about the impact this could have on their ability to serve their communities effectively — with Big Government stepping in to tell them what they can and cannot do — say they’re not going down without a fight.

“We’re gonna keep … you know, ringing the alarm bells,” said Coral Springs Commissioner Joshua Simmons. “We really want people to understand where everything is happening and why sometimes it is so difficult for us to do the job that we were voted to do.”

“THESE ATTEMPTS TO STOP US FROM DOING OUR JOBS MAKE IT HARD FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS TO BE WHO WE NEED TO BE.”

BOARD GAMES

Orange County school board member Alicia Farrant claimed the district prioritizes LGBTQ students. That didn’t go over too well.

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

The “protection of children” has been at the forefront of Republican lawmakers’ minds this legislative session (or so they say) with the introduction of a slew of anti-LGBTQ bills targeting gender-affirming healthcare, drag performances, and classroom discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation.

And, on a local level, protecting children has also been a priority for members of the Orange County School Board.

Albeit … in a different way.

During a rule development workshop on Tuesday focused on redeveloping policy regarding classroom and library materials in Orange County Public Schools to be in compliance with state law, school board members spent over an hour reaffirming their commitment to the protection of LGBTQ students, in response to comments from first-term board member Alicia Farrant, a member of the conservative activist group Moms for Liberty.

As Florida school districts face a rising number of challenges to the presence of LGBTQ-themed books in schools, Farrant said the Orange County school district has gone “above and beyond” in affirming LGBTQ youth — to a fault.

“I think this district has done a good job of making sure that kids all feel included,” Farrant said. “But there is a great push for everyone in the community to align with the beliefs of the LGBT community.”

“To constantly bring it back to making sure that the LGBT community feels uplifted, I think this district has done, you know, gone above and beyond,” she added. This didn’t go over well.

Farrant was, in essence, responding to testimony from Clinton McCracken, a middle school art teacher and president of the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association, who spoke during the meeting’s public comment portion just minutes before.

McCracken, whose union represents 14,000 teachers and school staff across the county, shared a personal story to emphasize the importance of retaining books in schools that reflect the diverse backgrounds of students, including LGBTQ youth.

“I was a victim of indoctrination when I was a young child, which created significant trauma,” said McCracken, pointedly repurposing the language of right-wing politicians like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. “My school and my community were unsafe places for me, and although there were physical assaults, too, the daily, hidden but pervasive attacks were much worse, telling me I was alone in this world, that who I was and what I felt was abnormal — that I didn’t belong.

“This is because I didn’t see any LGBTQ role models in my community,” he said. “I never read about any characters like me in a single book in elementary, middle or high school.”

School board chair and former Orange County mayor

Teresa Jacobs, in discussion afterwards, agreed with the sentiment shared by McCracken, and said the board should in the future discuss what they can do to ensure kids have access to books that reflect their diverse experiences and identities.

But Farrant, who has a history of complaining about the presence of books with LGBTQ themes in schools, made a point of saying that indoctrination “can go quite a few ways” and that there are other children in the school district as well who deserve attention.

“We have an entire month for them [LGBTQ people] not only in June, but also in October,” said Farrant. “Many in our community feel that, you know, we can — let’s look at the children as a whole, and let’s focus on their character development, not necessarily what sexuality they have, or maybe religion they have or, you know, where they maybe originated from.”

This earned her swift pushback from her colleagues.

“We lift up everyone,” board member Angie Gallo asserted, adding that while all children deserve attention, it’s important to lift up children who are marginalized, on account of poverty or any other life circumstances. Retaining books in school libraries that are accessible and which represent their experiences, she said, can be part of that.

First-term board member Maria Salamanca, a Latina woman who identifies as LGBTQ, added that 40% of books banned in U.S. schools contain LGBTQ characters or themes, and 40% have had a protagonist of color, demonstrating clear disparities.

The very policy necessitating their workshop on Tuesday is a “Trojan horse” she said, “to get rid of books of students of color of LGBTQ youth and of religious minorities.”

Allowing a diversity of books on school shelves isn’t “forcing” children to adopt any sexuality or racial identity, she added, despite claims of indoctrination in schools from so-called “parental rights” advocates.

“While I support parents, and I am a very big supporter of parents opting out of inappropriate content that they believe for their child is inappropriate, I do not support other parents telling my kids what they can and can’t read at the policy level, at the district level, or the state level because I don’t want other parents to parent my children with their values,” Salamanca said.

School board member Melissa Byrd, sharing her own thoughts on Farrant’s comments, didn’t mince words.

“It’s hurtful, and it’s insulting,” Byrd said, of Farrant’s claim that LGBTQ youth are prioritized, or held to a “higher standard” above others. “These kids hear every single word that comes out of the mouths of the adults around them, and I would really caution people to be careful about the words they use.”

Jacobs said that anyone who believes LGBTQ students are being prioritized above others probably isn’t aware

that queer and trans youth are at a four times higher risk of suicide.

“I’ve always wanted to believe in your heart and that you’re here for every student,” Jacobs offered generously, speaking to Farrant. “But sometimes your words suggest that you don’t understand quite what it’s like to walk in those shoes, and how important it is for us to show our support to our kids.”

Farrant responded to her colleague’s criticism defensively, and also later defended her use of the term “trans whatever” in reference to a theoretical transgender student during a January school board meeting.

“Since day one, I’ve only been attacked,” Farrant complained. “That I am a bigot, that I’m a hater.”

She added, “When parents are coming in, they’re frustrated and asking for a higher standard, it is not to marginalize children, or to, you know, make certain children feel like they’re not good enough. It is to make sure that they have the best at their fingertips. Books that do not portray their community in a way that is only sexual.”

But critics of the rich donor-funded national book ban campaign that Farrant has moved to advance in Orange County call foul on this notion.

According to a tracker from the Florida Freedom to Read Project, a parent-led activist group that’s critical of book banning (and Farrant, for that matter), at least 11 books have been challenged or removed from Orange County Public Schools, including Genderqueer (a book Farrant herself challenged) and This Book Is Gay

Both have been labeled “problematic” by the DeSantis administration, which has welcomed the support of groups like Moms for Liberty that have galvanized a wave of book banning across the U.S.

Florida’s new policy governing what materials can and cannot remain in schools has consumed hours upon hours of school boards’ time, including in Orange County.

Classroom and library materials, interpreted as “anything made available to a child in the school” according to OCPS deputy general counsel John Palmerini, cannot be “pornographic,” “harmful to minors,” or “obscene” — the latter two of which are defined the same legally, Palmerini told the school board.

But the new policy, requiring certified media specialists to review and approve all materials, has created confusion and frustration across the state. Some of the terms and procedures the new rules require are vague, or not clearly defined.

Some Florida teachers, in the face of a potential felony charge, have gotten rid of their classroom libraries altogether. Earlier this month, the statewide teachers union filed a petition alongside the Florida Freedom to Read Project and Families for Strong Public Schools, challenging new rules from the state Department of Education on this matter, which they characterize as part of a “censorship agenda” by the DeSantis administration.

McCracken, preside of the Orange County teachers union, said on Tuesday it’s a shame the school board has to spend all of this time updating policies as a result of “unnecessary culture wars” created by DeSantis and Florida lawmakers.

“They could have addressed the teacher shortage crisis, increased the average Florida teacher pay from its abysmal 48th in the country, and focused on school safety,” McCracken said Tuesday. “Instead, we are forced to navigate through these recent laws and their negative impact on our students’ education and our teachers’ ability to do their jobs.”

RETURN OF THE JEDI

Former Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith announces his bid for Florida Senate in 2024

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

Offering one bright spot for LGBTQ Floridians in today’s grim political news landscape, former Orlando-area representative Carlos Guillermo Smith, a local champion of equal rights issues, has filed to run for the Florida Senate in 2024.

Smith, the first openly gay Hispanic person elected to the Florida Legislature back in 2016, filed his candidacy with the Florida Division of Elections on Friday, which was first reported by the Orlando Sentinel the same day.

On Saturday, however, Smith formally shared his plans to run for state Senate outside City Hall in downtown Orlando, with fanfare.

“You deserve a champion in Tallahassee that you know and you trust, who will represent working people not corporations, who will fight back against the GOP’s extreme agenda and who will stand up to bullies,” said Smith, flanked by a crowd of supporters on the steps of City Hall including Orlando-area politicians, labor leaders, and advocates for LGBTQ issues, education, gun safety and disability rights.

“We have a massive teacher shortage made worse by an extreme Legislature that has turned our classrooms into political battlefields,” Smith added, later giving a shoutout to Orange County teachers union president and art teacher Clinton McCracken, who was present in the audience. “This community needs someone who’s willing to

put people over politics and willing to put in the work to solve these problems — and you can always count on me to be that person.”

Smith, who served as a state representative in the Florida House from 2016 to 2022, is running for Senate District 17, to replace outgoing state Sen. Linda Stewart (D), who’s restricted from filing for reelection in 2024 due to term limits. As of Monday morning, Smith’s the only person to file candidacy for the seat, which represents a heavily Democratic constituency in Orange County.

On Saturday, Smith was in good company. Democratic leaders such as Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani, as well as Rep. Johanna Lopez, Sen. Victor Torres, Rep. Rita Harris and U.S. Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost were in attendance to show support for Smith’s bid for State Senate.

“When I look at people like Carlos, when I look at people who have survived gun violence, when I look at people who have taken trauma and turned it into action, I have the utmost respect for it because that is how we’re going to change this state. That is how we’re going to change this country,” Frost shared.

“They threw all types of corporate money at him [Smith], all sorts of lies, bigotry, homophobia, to take him out of the state House, but what they didn’t know is they were putting him in the state Senate,” Frost added, earning

both applause and laughter from the crowd gathered.

Last year, Smith lost his bid for reelection to the Florida House to Republican Susan Plasencia after Gov. Ron DeSantis’ redistricting plans in 2022 shifted his district to include parts of eastern Seminole County, which leans Republican. Smith garnered 48% of the vote to Plasencia’s 52%.

Eskamani, who has also often described fellow progressive Smith as her “work husband” (Smith is happily married to husband Jerick Mediavilla), said Smith’s absence in the Legislature has been felt this year. Democrats have been drastically outnumbered in deeply partisan fights over abortion access, housing affordability, public education, LGBTQ+ rights, gun safety and union-busting legislation.

“We are fighting to increase access to gun safety and to reduce community violence, to push back against efforts to erase the LGBTQ+ community, on efforts to ban drag shows and to ban books. We need Carlos’ voice — his representation matters,” said Eskamani.

During his time in the Florida House, Smith was an advocate for gun safety reforms, disability rights, workers’ rights, equal rights for LGBTQ+ Floridians, and public education.

He was one of the most vocal critics of DeSantis and the GOP in the Florida Legislature, and — if his speech on Saturday is any indication — he’s not planning to back down.

Citing recent drama with Disney and the DeSantis administration’s messy state takeover of the Disney corporation’s Reedy Creek tax district, Smith said DeSantis could “probably learn a thing or two” about holding corporations accountable from Disney World’s frontline workers, who recently fought for and won an $18 minimum wage with their unions at the Orlando theme park last month.

“The way that you hold corporations accountable is not through hostile government takeovers, vindictive authoritarian policies and temper tantrums,” said Smith. “You hold them accountable by demanding fair wages and benefits and requiring corporations to pay the taxes they owe.”

Some Florida Democrats, like Eskamani, have been pushing for corporate tax reform to close corporate tax loopholes and to ensure that highly profitable companies pay their fair share of Florida taxes.

As the Orlando Sentinel has reported, Florida has one of the easiest-to-avoid corporate taxes in the nation. And companies like the Walt Disney Co. benefit.

With his track record as a progressive, Smith is politically to the left of Sen. Stewart, the sitting District 17 senator. Despite a progressive history as an Orange County commissioner in the early aughts, Stewart was the only Democratic senator to vote in favor of a GOP-backed property insurance bill passed last December that offered no guarantees that rates will actually go down.

Last month, Stewart was also the only Democrat to vote for a Senate bill that’d make it easier for private businesses to sue to stop local ordinances from going into effect.

Florida Republicans gained a supermajority in the state Legislature last year, making it that much easier for them to push through the political priorities, even when there is Democratic resistance.

This means Florida Democrats (and their constituents) have less power over state policies, and honestly makes Democrats’ jobs (and thus, running to hold that job again) less appealing and a lot harder.

“This is return of the Jedi, y’all,” Eskamani said on Saturday, with a laugh, just hours after posting a photo that morning with some Star Wars stormtroopers on social media. Standing side by side with Smith, she added, “The Empire is striking back, and we are coming. We are the resistance.” mschueler@orlandoweekly.com

ONLY IN ORLANDO

Florida Film Festival returns for a 32nd year of bringing wild and wide-ranging cinema

BY MATTHEW MOYER

For a 32nd year, the Florida Film Festival is bringing a slate of adventurous and eclectic cinema — an eye-popping 168 films, in point of fact — to Orlando starting this Friday. The theme this year is “Only in Florida” — further emphasized by promotional imagery of a gent filming himself while strapped to a gator. Anything to get the perfect shot, are we right, fellow Floridians?

FFF kicks off with a local-friendly bang with an opening-night party on Friday, April 14, featuring a screening of You Were My First Boyfriend. The film, directed by Cecilia Aldarondo and Sarah Enid Hagey, was produced in Winter Park and takes a surrealistic and affecting look at teen angst and the lingering wounds of high school. Post-film, everyone decamps to the Tiedtke Amphitheater for a glitzy opening-night soiree.

And that’s just the start of 10 days of cinema from around the world, on subjects ranging from Judy Blume to Pensacola music eccentrics, nudists in the Everglades to fighting Nazis in Finland, 1970s session musicians to dystopian AI, women’s rights in El Salvador to a ghost that eats tears.

And don’t forget the short-films programming blocks — Florida Film Festival is one of just a few Oscar-accredited festivals in the U.S. for animated short films, live-action short films and documentary shorts. This year’s blocks include “Too Much Too Young,” “Swamp and Sunshine” and the always-provocative Midnight

Shorts event. This year’s “party at ground zero” will not disappoint.

As per usual with FFF, there are some big-name guests venturing down to Central Florida to take part in Fest activities. Actor John Cusack is set to be a guest of honor on Friday, April 21, appearing in-person at a screening of one of his particularly iconic films. (Hint: Boombox.)

The “An Evening With John Cusack” spotlight event at the Enzian consists of a screening of the 1989 film Say Anything, along with a post-film Q+A with Cusack.

Iconic alternative-folk duo the Indigo Girls, in between tour stops (in particular a Plaza Live gig the same evening), will be landing at the Enzian on Sunday, April 16 for a daytime screening (and Florida premiere) of verite doc It’s Only Life After All. The film retraces 40 years of essential music, performance and being outand-proud lesbians in turbulent political times.

ALL IMAGES COURTESY FLORIDA FILM FESTIVAL

SO MANY FILMS, SO LITTLE TIME

With almost 170 films being screened over the 10-day festival, there’s no way any human could see all, or even most, of the Florida Film Festival bounty. Experienced festival-goers know that some strategy is involved — and perusing the film schedule early is key. We’ve looked it over pretty closely ourselves and came up with a list of our most-anticipated movies. We encourage you to use the FFF insert in this week’s paper to create your own — or feel free to crib ours.

MIDNIGHT SHORTS

11:59 p.m. Saturday, April 15, Enzian Theater; 11:59 p.m. Saturday, April 22, Regal WPV

When the festival calls it “a homecoming to unleash the freaks,” you pays your money and you takes your seat. Topics explored in this block include bathtub masturbation, haireating, penile enhancement and Wordle.

NAKED GARDENS

Noon Sunday, April 23, Enzian Theater

The non-prurient quality of this documentary shot in Sunsport Gardens Family Nudist Resort, a nudist camp in the Everglades, was undoubtedly enhanced by the filmmakers’ decision to shed their own clothes as well. Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival.

JUDY BLUME FOREVER

7 p.m. Saturday, April 15, Regal WPV

Are you there, Judy? It’s us, everyone. This documentary tells the story of the writer whose books have stood in for sex ed as American public schools become Puritan factories. Without Blume, generations of tweens would have never known what the heck was happening to their minds and bodies.

EGGHEAD & TWINKIE

7 p.m. Sunday, April 16, Regal WPV; 9:15 p.m. Thursday, April 20, Enzian Theater

Sabrina Jie-A-Fa and Louis Tomeo steal hearts in this zippy coming-of-age road movie. The filmmakers have called it a movie “made by Gen-Z for Gen-Z,” and while that may be true, no one doesn’t need the sweet message of friendship it offers.

THE ELEPHANT 6 RECORDING CO.

9:45 p.m. Friday, April 21, Regal WPV; 4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 22, Regal WPV

There’s a certain set of bands — Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples in Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, Dressy Bessy, Ladybug Transistor — that may not be household names, but they rewired the brains of a certain set of people. If you’re one, you know it. And you won’t want to miss this origin story.

Theatrical returns to the Abbey with Jesus: Origins, a theological superhero spoof

In recent months, my column has been filled with farewells from Central Florida artists who are fleeing the state, and the news is full of depressing reports of lawmakers’ latest moves — often, the reasons behind those artists’ departures. This week, we take a break from the doom and gloom to chat with someone who isn’t exiting Orlando, but rather doubling down on bringing new theatrical stories to life here year-round.

It’s been nearly a year since Live Active Cultures last looked in on playwright/director Michael Knight, whose alcohol-soaked original comedy Gothic Manor was a big hit for producer Aaron Safer’s New Generation Theatrical last Halloween. This week, the pair return to the Abbey with Jesus: Origins, a theology-themed superhero spoof that Knight swears isn’t half as blasphemous as it sounds.

A native of central Michigan who says he’s always been a storyteller, Michael Knight started working summer jobs at Orlando’s theme parks in 2008. He says, “I fell in love with Orlando because I noticed that … it’s a huge entertainment hub: full of theater, full of theme parks, full of creative people. We celebrate drag shows, we celebrate people dancing, we celebrate all sorts of different stuff here in Orlando, and it was a place unlike where I grew up. I really wanted to be here: not New York, not L.A. I wanted to be here.”

Knight mounted his first original script at the Orlando Fringe over a decade ago, and scored early success with The Fourplay and Anne Frankenstein. That latter, taboobreaking hit drew Safer to collaborate with him by commissioning a script; the result was Zombie Island, or How to Survive a Wedding With Your Ex, which proved to be the first step in their ongoing partnership. Knight praises Safer as a modern-day businessman who is “really great about being able to fuel the fire and throw logs on it to keep creativity flowing.”

Running April 13-23 is the debut of the duo’s latest provocative genre-bender, which fills in the New Testament’s “lost years” between Jesus’s 13th and 30th birthdays with a comic book–style backstory. Somewhat surprisingly, Knight is not rebelling against some

fundamentalist upbringing — he’s a secular Protestant whose new play was prompted by watching The Star, a largely forgotten animated film about the Nativity. “I was not a very religious person,” admits Knight, “and I wanted to write something that spoke to me, but also was able to [comment] on what I see religion doing.”

The plot of Jesus: Origins sees Jesus (Josh Melendez) dealing with his helicopter mom, Mary (Hannah Lemasters), and absentee dad (Robie Phillips) while learning to wield his supernatural powers for good. Despite that irreverent-sounding summary, Knight insists the play is not a send-up of religion, adding that he’s focus-tested an audio recording of the script on several religious friends and family. “Everyone says this is a great show for people of faith [who] are not afraid, because what it does is it makes Jesus the hero that He is.”

As a result, Knight says, “[I] can’t imagine that anyone who claims to be a Christian, or claims to have love for Jesus and love for their fellow man, would see the show and think that we’ve done something to Jesus that is disrespectful.” Even so, in his view, Jesus is “not here to make sure that drag queens don’t exist; He’s not here to keep guns in your hand. He’s here to save you, to help you. To offer hope and compassion to people who don’t have a lot of money, to people who are hungry, to people who are generally rejected by society. That’s what Jesus stands for.”

In the current political climate, Knight knows his show could potentially attract protest, but he says he’s not afraid of that. “Frankly, we haven’t gotten as much as I want [because]

anytime controversy surrounds something, people want to know what it’s about.”

After Jesus: Origins ascends, New Gen has a full season of productions ahead, including Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night (June 8-17) at the Orlando Repertory Theatre, and the Broadway musicals Spring Awakening (July 21-22) and Next to Normal (Sept. 21-Oct. 1) at the Abbey. Safer is also continuing his commitment to new works, presenting Joshua Harmon’s Significant Other in August and Knight’s Gothic Tavern in November. The follow-up to Gothic Manor won’t continue its plot or carry over characters, but rather transplant the action to Sleepy Hollow for a drunken dive into the mystery of Washington Irving’s Headless Horseman.

“People really loved it,” says Knight of their original Gothic show, “and they seem to glom onto the characters. … People want to come out and have an experience beyond just turning their brain off.” Giving Orlando more year-round opportunities for the kind of original experiences that Knight first discovered at Fringe is exactly what he says New Gen is all about.

Finally, even though Knight feels strongly about the stories New Gen is sharing, he tries not take his art too seriously. “Sometimes heavy-handedness can be damaging and can drive people away,” Knight observes. “There’s heavy everywhere, but if we can also use those voices in a fun way to speak out against what’s happening in the world — and specifically what’s happening here in Florida — if we can do that with our art, then we can make Orlando a safe haven.”

CUTTING FINE FIGURES

Norigami presents superb slices of seafood inside Plant Street Market

BY FAIYAZ KARA

Early last year, I had the pleasure of reviewing David Tsan’s intimate 8-seat omakase concept inside Soupa Saiyan 3 called Soupakase. I said it was “the best value of any omakase in town” and at $65 for 10 servings of high-quality nigiri along with a handroll and soup, it certainly was. But Tsan had bigger plans, so when Soupakase morphed into Norigami and moved into the Plant Street Market in Winter Garden, I was there with bells on, dinga-linga-linging along the way to all the sushi snobs I know. What really impressed — apart from the eight-seat Japandi bar festooned with a custom-made noren that somehow made us forget we were dining in a food hall, or how lesser-found seafood gems like geoduck, needlefish and blackthroat sea perch find their way onto the menu, or how Tsan and chef Shane Birdsell apply precise detailing onto every one of those half dozen or so cuts and slivers — was the price of Tsan’s omakase.

I know, I know, it sounds a bit crass to bring cost into this comparison but, c’mon, $62 is

tip jar

BY FAIYAZ KARA

OPENINGS+CLOSINGS:

$3 cheaper than the omakase at Soupakase. Oh, and you don’t have to order the omakase — there are nearly 25 items on the menu of apps, crudo and nigiri/sashimi/temaki from which to choose. Just don’t go looking for California rolls, fry rolls or cream cheese. But if you’re like me, and don’t live anywhere near Winter Garden, you’ll want to make the most of your trip, so the omakase is the way to go.

You’ll start off with, uhh, cream cheese! It’s a tongue-in-cheek adornment to Tsan’s signature popcorn hamachi plate also prettied with carefully placed slices of yellowtail, dots of avocado puree, radishes and popped sorghum. Then you might be served wee firefly squid with strawberry, cucumber and a key lime vinaigrette akin to leche de tigre.

But what follows is Norigami’s bread and butter or, rather, its fish and rice. Each bite of the piece-by-piece carousel of nigiri carry its own flavor profile — sweet madai (sea bream) topped with umeboshi, fleur de sel and lime juice; delicate shima-aji (striped jack) with matcha salt and

scallion puree; buttery New Zealand king salmon with a coronet of truffle cream and miso sauce; clean and rich kanpachi with peppery yuzu kosho; and on it goes. Every offering feels like the tastiest, until you eat the next one.

Two more faves: colossal shrimp sheened in Cajun mayo, lime and Maldon salt; and a blinged-out “Big Mac” nigiri with A5 wagyu, bluefin tuna belly (otoro), Siberian Osetra caviar and uni. Pretty baller, but just as noteworthy is how Tsan and Birdsell aren’t the least bit ruffled when we unexpectedly throw them a curveball.

One recent visit to Norigami coincided with baseball’s opening day and the Local Butcher & Market inside the food hall were grilling ballpark franks. My dining comrade bought a couple of dogs and presented them to the chefs to see what they could muster. And with that pitch, Tsan and Birdsell hit it out of the park.

We got nigiri featuring a rectangle of that ballpark frank nori-wrapped around sushi rice and topped with pickled mustard seeds and kimchi hot sauce. And about that sushi rice — it is extraordinary. It’s no wonder Tsan has been employed by some of the city’s heavy hitters like Kabooki Sushi and Morimoto Asia.

Tsan ends with a handroll — the blue crab with yuzu mayo and cucumber goes down real easy — and a sweet, delicate castella made from madai. It’s a capper that really showcases the great variety of bites Norigami offers. “The forms are endless, just like origami,” it says on the restaurant’s OpenTable page and it’s hard to disagree. As far as omakases in this city are concerned, I certainly hope this is the shape of things to come.

GRACE UNDER PRESSURE

Laura Jane Grace comes back home to Florida at a crucial time

BY SHELTON HULL

They say you can’t go home again, but that’s not true.

Laura Jane Grace is disproving that, this very week.

Her solo set at the Social on Saturday night is just part of a tour that includes the High Dive in Gainesville as well as stops in Jacksonville, St. Petersburg and Tallahassee. She picked a fine time to come back to Florida, given the current chaos in our politics and our culture. But the timing was no accident for her.

Laura Jane Grace was born in Fort Benning, but she is best-known for the various bands she helped lead in her adopted hometown of Gainesville. The most famous, of course, is Against Me! That band has released seven albums, four EPs and two live albums on six different labels since their founding in 1997. Grace’s second solo album, Stay Alive, was released by Polyvinyl in October 2020, and

she’s released two EPs as well.

After all these years on the road, the logistics of touring remain essentially the same for her, although the all-pervasive influence of technology cannot be denied.

“In some ways, it’s dramatically easier,” Grace says via Zoom from her home in Brooklyn. “But in other ways, it being easier makes it much more stressful, because of how quickly it moves. When I started out, it was literally a matter of writing a letter, putting it in the post box, then waiting however long to hear from some stranger, like, ‘Can we play your house in Rochester, New York?’ And then you’re going out there, totally blind, and you don’t know this person or what the situation will be. We would go out and do tours that were a month long, and maybe like a dozen out of 30 shows booked would actually happen. In the old days, when you were on the

road, and the van broke down, you were pretty much fucked. You’d just have to walk down the road to the nearest gas station to find a pay phone to call a tow truck or whatever.”

Ultimately, artists in her realm make the majority of their income from touring, so Grace, like countless other artists, is still kind of playing catch-up on the money missed during the pandemic.

“We were three shows into a tour, and it got canceled,” she says. “How bands survive is going out and playing live shows, but I’ve tried to put myself in a position where, if something like that ever happens again, the effect isn’t completely devastating.”

These are tumultuous times in Florida, of course, and for Grace the personal is very much political. As one of the leading trans women performers in America, she has long been an influential advocate for LGBTQ+ rights in and around her native state, and she shared our general concern with the direction things are going in.

“Yeah, I don’t mind talking about this stuff at all,” she says. “Honestly, part of me is scared. There’s a part of me that wonders, ‘Could this be my last time touring through Florida?’ Because soon enough, a person like me could be outlawed from existing in the state. In some ways, these things are becoming more and more glaring.”

There are no easy answers, but Laura Jane Grace does not shy away from asking the questions.

LOCAL RELEASES

Once again, Dee Crittenden is proving to be one of Orlando’s more restless artists. Apparently, the prolific Alien Witch and Fabulous Weapon acts aren’t enough to contain this seemingly inexhaustible wellspring of musical ideas, because Crittenden just debuted new solo project Doxy and will soon follow with yet another vessel named Sextoy.

On freshly released maiden album Piss on Fire Call Off the Dogs, Doxy emphasizes Crittenden’s rock side. While the Brian Jonestown Massacre are a key influence, Doxy walks a bleaker path with a skeletal, psychedelic drone. They’re now on Bandcamp but this week you can see them live at their second show ever on Thursday, April 13, at Uncle Lou’s.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

Frankie Rose, Donzii, Fashion Bloc: On Love as Projection, the just-released album on Slumberland, Frankie Rose has taken the most resolute step out yet from her noise-pop beginnings in guitar bands like Dum Dum Girls and Vivian Girls. Rose’s new turn leans deeply electronic and strikes an angelic dream-pop frequency between Ladytron and Lush. It’s a breathtakingly immaculate new watershed for a consistently impressive artist. Rising Miami opener Donzii will add their arty flair and post-punk kaleidoscope to the night while Fashion Bloc will spotlight Mother Juno’s synth-pop side. (8 p.m. Thursday, April 13, Will’s Pub, $15)

Molchat Doma, Nuovo Testamento:

Of all the kinds of music to go viral, post-punk is probably among the least likely. Belarusian band Molchat Doma, however, have proven the exception with an international rise

On Love as Projection, Frankie Rose has taken the most resolute step out yet from her noisepop beginnings. Rose’s new turn leans deeply electronic and strikes an angelic dream-pop frequency between Ladytron and Lush

in profile that was fueled by TikTok and YouTube, until they were properly canonized by tastemaking American label Sacred Bones. I’m not saying this is something any post-punk act should aspire to, but it is quite a nice against-odds story for some good music. After releasing 2020 album Monument in the middle of the pandemic, the cold-wave sensations are finally coming to American shores. Expect throwback, Soviet-era vibes that’ll give you yet another reason to wax nostalgic about Gorbachev.

L.A. opener Nuovo Testamento will show a different, glitzier take on the 1980s with a hedonistic brand of new-wave pop that’s built for flashing lights and smoke machines. (7 p.m. Friday, April 14, The Plaza Live, $29$43)

LTJ Bukem, AK1200, Circle K & MC Collaborator: One of the most direct lifelines to the 1990s glory days when Orlando was a global dance-music hotspot still runs through Iron Cow, and this booking is

proof positive of that ongoing commitment and connection. English DJ/producer LTJ Bukem is a drum & bass giant, a pioneer who led the vanguard of the genre’s more cerebral side from the beginning. His soulful and sophisticated work remains a touchstone of intelligent breakbeat. Add Orlando’s own legendary junglist AK1200 and Torque residents Circle K and MC Collaborator to the mix and you’ve got a who’s who of drum & bass, a continuum that leads right back to Orlando’s music lineage. (9 p.m. Friday, April 14, Iron Cow, $25-$30)

Partiboi69: What’s in a name? Well, in the case of underground club icon Partiboi69, everything. Embodying every part of his ridiculous moniker, this Australian cult hero is as much persona as artist. A figure that’s simultaneously high-concept and lowbrow, Partiboi69 is a living cartoon of bad taste, karate moves and man thongs. Thing is, though, his infectious jams bang pretty hard. Like a dance music collision of Riff Raff and Peaches, he reigns over a hot zone where cheese, trash and art all coexist in uproarious glory. Go keep it 69 with the man in person. (6 p.m. Sunday, April 16, Elixir, $20)

Thomas Milovac: Orlando’s Milovac has been one of the most enterprising forces in the city’s underground jazz scene in recent years, through solo work, ensemble work with exciting acts like free-jazz supergroup Bongus and label work as the boss of Cosmo Sonic Collective. This appearance at the In-Between Series will feature a solo performance by the artist on solo double bass, electric bass and electronics. Considering Milovac’s avant-garde and improv tendencies, this will not be your dad’s jazz. (7 p.m. Monday, April 17, CityArts, $5)

Lead Into Gold

Perhaps ironically for a genre that broke from decades of rockist traditions to deliver dire technoid broadcasts of a dystopian future (that we’re now living in, thanks?), industrial music is having a big nostalgic moment. You’ve got Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Front 242, Frontline Assembly and lately Skinny Puppy all reformed and hitting the road again. One of the few prominent figures from that 1990s electro-industrial boom who is having it both ways — revising the past without getting mired in the quicksand of throwback sentimentality — is Paul Barker. Barker, the former close collaborator of Ministry’s Al Jourgensen (the Pan to his Luxa), was a driving force in game-changing projects like Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Pigface, Pailhead, PTP and Lard. After 18 years working with Jourgensen, Barker severed ties, preferring to resurrect (at last) his Lead Into Gold vehicle. LIG originally released an album and two singles’ worth of biomechanical warfare as the 1980s faded into the ’90s before going dormant. Now they’re back with a vengeance, issuing new singles and this year’s The Eternal Present It’s a welcome return to form: gleaming industrial-metal stripped of goofy rock (and nu-metal) excess with an elegantly suited Barker leading on bass (the man knows his way around an unforgettable bassline) and vocals. Opening the evening are Tampa’s Aeon Rings and, happily, Bacon Grease from Orlando. Bacon Grease’s Andrea Knight opened for Martin Atkins pre-pandemic, and she has much in common with Barker’s unerring sense of rhythm and propulsion. See some rare intergenerational harmony. 8 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub. org, $15. — Matthew Moyer

FRIDAY, APRIL 14

Katt Williams

Comedy legend Katt Williams returns to Orlando Friday as part of his “2023 & Me Tour.” The stand-up comedian, actor and rapper has made a name for himself with sharp-witted dialogue and always-fresh

of the

material, fearlessly curated in the current social climate: searing burns, no-holdsbarred political jabs and, sure, raunchy sex jokes. Williams has established himself as a force in the comedy industry through years of hard work, selling out shows across the country, recording a number of Netflix specials and even winning an Emmy for his appearance in Atlanta in 2018. With a career chock-full of grand achievements and hilarious yet poignantly crafted comedy, Williams is an act that you definitely won’t want to miss. 8 p.m., Addition Financial Arena, 12777 N. Gemini Blvd., additionfiarena. com, $59-$250. — Gabby

Onyx

Much like iconic duo Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, another iconic duo is ready to go out in a blaze of glory — ’90s-famous rappers Onyx are on the road to both mark a major milestone and say goodbye. Firstly, Onyx celebrates 30 years of seminal debut album Bacdafucup, which brought the world the kinetic 1993 single “Slam.” Down to a duo for this tour, founding members Fredro and Sticky Fingaz will be joined by the unpredictable R.A. the Rugged Man as touring support. B-b-b-but wait it gets worse! If you’re thinking you’ll just catch them the next time around, maybe rethink that. Speaking on a podcast earlier this year, Fredro talked seriously about how this will be his last ride. “I’m retiring, man. Thirty years of hip-hop,” said Fredro. “This is the last year. I’m retiring. Don’t call me for no verses, nothing.” Come out and slam one last glorious time. 6 p.m., Level 13 Event Center/ Soundbar, 5043 Edgewater Drive, facebook. com/level13events, $25-$150. — MM

Florida Groves Festival

This weekend the Florida Groves Festival takes over the Orlando Amphitheater with a cast of headliners poised to play, ahem, blazing sets.

Some of the bigger acts this year include Thievery Corporation, Collie Buddz, Inner Circle, Protoje, Fortunate Youth, Kash’d Out, Bumpin Uglies, Ballyhoo!, Shwayze and the Savi Fernandez Band, among many others. The weekend will also feature a Vendor Village & Convention, the Orlando Sneaker Convention, a tattoo convention, food and drink vendors, live art and installations, live glassblowing and all sorts of thematically on-point information and products. (The latter should assist in enhancing an already heady mood.) Noon, Orlando Amphitheater, 4603 W. Colonial Drive, floridagrovesfest.com, $45-$1200. — MM

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I hope that in the coming weeks, you will keep your mind bubbling with zesty mysteries. I hope you’ll exult in the thrill of riddles that are beyond your current power to solve. If you cultivate an appreciation of uncanny uncertainties, life will soon begin bringing you uncanny certainties. Do you understand the connection between open-hearted curiosity and fertile rewards? Don’t merely tolerate the enigmas you are immersed in — love them!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An old sadness is ripening into practical wisdom. A confusing loss is about to yield a clear revelation you can use to improve your life. In mysterious ways, a broken heart you suffered in the past may become a wild card that inspires you to deepen and expand your love. Wow and hallelujah, Taurus! I’m amazed at the turnarounds that are in the works for you. Sometime in the coming weeks, what wounded you once upon a time will lead to a vibrant healing. Wonderful surprise!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What is the true and proper symbol for your sign, Gemini? Twins standing shoulder to shoulder as they gaze out on the world with curiosity? Or two lovers embracing each other with mischievous adoration in their eyes? Both scenarios can accurately represent your energy, depending on your mood and the phase you’re in. In the coming weeks, I advise you to draw on the potency of both. You will be wise to coordinate the different sides of your personality in pursuit of a goal that interests them all. And you will also place yourself in harmonious alignment with cosmic rhythms as you harness your passionate urge to merge in a good cause.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some scientists speculate that more people suffer from allergies than ever before because civilization has over-sanitized the world. The fetish for scouring away germs and dirt means that our immune systems don’t get enough practice in fending off interlopers. In a sense, they are “bored” because they have too little to do. That’s why they fight stuff that’s not a threat, like tree pollens and animal dander. Hence, we develop allergies to harmless substances. I hope you will apply this lesson as a metaphor in the coming weeks, fellow Cancerian. Be sure the psychological component of your immune system isn’t warding off the wrong people and things. It’s healthy for you to be protective, but not hyper-over-protective in ways that shut out useful influences.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): One night in 1989, Leo evolutionary biologist Margie Profet went to sleep and had a dream that

revealed to her new information about the nature of menstruation. The dream scene was a cartoon of a woman’s reproductive system. It showed little triangles being carried away by the shed menstrual blood. Eureka! As Profet lay in bed in the dark, she intuited a theory that no scientist had ever guessed: that the sloughed-off uterine lining had the key function of eliminating pathogens, represented by the triangles. In subsequent years, she did research to test her idea, supported by studies with electron microscopes. Now her theory is regarded as fact. I predict that many of you Leos will soon receive comparable benefits. Practical guidance will be available in your dreams and twilight awareness and altered states. Pay close attention!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don’t know what is invisible to you. The truths that are out of your reach may as well be hiding. The secret agendas you are not aware of are indeed secret. That’s the notso-good news, Virgo. The excellent news is that you now have the power to uncover the rest of the story, at least some of it. You will be able to penetrate below the surface and find buried riches. You will dig up missing information whose absence has prevented you from understanding what has been transpiring. There may be a surprise or two ahead, but they will ultimately be agents of healing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Visionary philosopher Buckminster Fuller referred to pollution as a potential resource we have not yet figured out how to harvest. A company called Algae Systems does exactly that. It uses wastewater to grow algae that scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and yield carbon-negative biofuels. Can we invoke this approach as a metaphor that’s useful to you? Let’s dream up examples. Suppose you’re a creative artist. You could be inspired by your difficult emotions to compose a great song, story, painting or dance. Or if you’re a lover who is in pain, you could harness your suffering to free yourself of a bad old habit or ensure that an unpleasant history doesn’t repeat itself. Your homework, Libra, is to figure out how to take advantage of a “pollutant” or two in your world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Soon you will graduate from your bumpy lessons and enter a smoother, silkier phase. You will find refuge from the naysayers as you create a liberated new power spot for yourself. In anticipation of this welcome transition, I offer this motivational exhortation from poet Gwendolyn Brooks: “Say to them, say to the down-keepers, the sun-slappers, the self-soilers, the harmony-hushers, ‘Even if you are not ready for day, it cannot always be night.’” I believe you are finished with

your worthwhile but ponderous struggles, Scorpio. Get ready for an excursion toward luminous grace.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I periodically seek the counsel of a Sagittarian psychic. She’s half-feral and sometimes speaks in riddles. She tells me she occasionally converses by phone with a person she calls “the ex-Prime Minister of Narnia.” I confided in her that lately it has been a challenge for me to keep up with you Sagittarians because you have been expanding beyond the reach of my concepts. She gave me a pronouncement that felt vaguely helpful, though it was also a bit over my head: “The Archer may be quite luxuriously curious and furiously hilarious; studiously lascivious and victoriously delirious; salubriously industrious but never lugubriously laborious.” Here’s how I interpret that: Right now, pretty much anything is possible if you embrace unpredictability.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I’m not insane,” says Capricorn actor Jared Leto. “I’m voluntarily indifferent to conventional rationality.” That attitude might serve you well in the coming weeks. You could wield it to break open opportunities that were previously closed due to excess caution. I suspect you’re beginning a fun phase of self-discovery when you will learn a lot about yourself. As you do, I hope you will experiment with being at least somewhat indifferent to conventional rationality. Be willing to be surprised. Be receptive to changing your mind about yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): People of all genders feel urges to embellish their native beauty with cosmetic enhancements. I myself haven’t done so, but I cheer on those who use their flesh for artistic experiments. At the same time, I am also a big fan of us loving ourselves exactly as we are. And I’m hoping that in the coming weeks, you will emphasize the latter over the former. I urge you to indulge in an intense period of maximum self-appreciation. Tell yourself daily how gorgeous and brilliant you are. Tell others, too! Cultivate a glowing pride in the gifts you offer the world. If anyone complains, tell them you’re doing the homework your astrologer gave you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I encourage you to amplify the message you have been trying to deliver. If there has been any shyness or timidity in your demeanor, purge it. If you have been less than forthright in speaking the whole truth and nothing but the truth, boost your clarity and frankness. Is there anything you could do to help your audience be more receptive? Any tenderness you could express to stimulate their willingness and ability to see you truly?

I married my high school girlfriend after college. We were happy, and the sex was fantastic. Then she fell in love with a woman and came out — just to me — as bisexual or possibly a lesbian. Our relationship somehow survived this tumult, and we decided to start a family. We are now in our 50s, our children are grown, and I have not had sex for approximately two decades. My wife long ago lost any desire for intimacy with me or anyone else. My sex drive is as strong as ever but limited to strictly solo activities. My wife remains mostly closeted in terms of not being out to her friends and family, with one exception: one of her sisters, who is single. My wife is overseas currently (for work) and we’ve been geographically separated for four years now.

That’s the background. I’m writing to you about the bizarre event that took place over the weekend: I was texting with my wife’s sister and out of the blue she writes that she has my wife’s permission to sleep with me. This was totally unexpected and caused a panic attack on my part. It felt wrong. I was at a loss as to what to say. She assured me, still via text, that this was OK with my wife and it would be a safe “sister-in-law with benefits” arrangement. She also has physical needs that are unmet, as she is single, so we’d be helping each other.

My wife and I had discussed having an “open” marriage, with each of us seeking “girlfriends.” My wife has said she is OK with this, but I am not, as I fear having a girlfriend — I fear either of us having a girlfriend — could throw our home and family life into chaos and potentially result in divorce, which wouldn’t be fair to the children. Believing my sister-in-law actually had my wife’s permission to at least raise the

subject, I went a bit down the road with her via text (things got explicit) and I experienced something I haven’t for 20 years: the elation of an imminent sexual encounter. Of course, I needed reassurance that my wife was actually OK with this, so I asked her. Well, it seems there was a major misunderstanding. My wife was appalled, utterly so. According to my wife, her sister “joked” about sleeping with me when the two of them were discussing the details of their relationships and their sexualities, and my wife only jokingly agreed. Now I feel guilty that I even considered having sex with my wife’s sister, to say nothing of the guilt I feel about the wedge this has driven into a close sisterly relationship.

My wife doesn’t want to discuss this any further. I get that it is weird, especially if it were to be condoned by all parties. But I want to share more about how I feel with my wife. I don’t think she understands how depressing it is to feel that you’ll never be intimate with anyone ever again. That may not be a struggle for my wife, who says she feels no sexual urges at all, but it is for me.

I’ve been told by both my wife and my sister-in-law to forget this conversation ever happened, so we can all move on. But I find I can’t move on. So, what do I do?

Seeking Insight Somewhere

First, I’m not the Supreme Court. I can’t overrule your wife and order her to discuss something she refuses to discuss, SIS, much less order your wife to allow you — the husband she doesn’t wanna fuck — to go and fuck her sister, who, despite having raised the subject, to disastrous effect, also doesn’t want to discuss the matter further. If you need to talk about this at length with

someone, SIS, confide in a friend and/or talk to a therapist.

Second, you haven’t had sex in 20 years, SIS, and it’s understandable that you entertained the first serious offer you’d gotten in decades. Your wife’s sister essentially offered a cheeseburger to a starving man. That you took a tiny little bite out of that cheeseburger before thinking to ask your vegan spouse if it was OK for you to have a cheeseburger … albeit a cheeseburger made with ground sister meat … isn’t something your wife should hold against you for the rest of your life, even if she’d rather not discuss it.

Third, you have your wife’s permission to fuck other women — even date other women — so long as you aren’t dating and/or fucking one of her relatives. So, instead of grieving the pussy you’re never gonna get again (your wife’s) or allowing yourself to obsess about the pussy you never should’ve been offered (your sister-in-law’s), SIS, I would encourage you to get some pussy that doesn’t share quite so much of its DNA with your wife. Prioritizing stability when your kids were young was completely commendable, SIS, but your kids are grown now. And if you’re so starved for sex that you find yourself jumping at highly inappropriate offers — and “sister-in-law with benefits” more than meets that threshold — you would be welladvised to seek sex with a more appropriate potential partner than to wait for the next inappropriate offer that comes along. Yes, sex can create chaos. Hell, sometimes I think sex is chaos. But controlled chaos > uncontrolled chaos.

Fourth and finally, SIS, your wife tells you she’s asexual and does not experi-

ence desire … and while that may be true … there’s a chance it’s not. While asexuality is both real and valid and vice-versa, people have been known to lie to their spouses about important things no one should lie about. And maybe I’m old and jaded, and maybe I should keep my mouth shut, but I could see someone who married her cis male high school sweetheart before realizing she was maybe/probably/most likely a lesbian claiming to be asexual — not just to get her off the hook of having to fuck her husband, whom she may actually love, but to spare her husband’s feelings. It’s not that she doesn’t want to have sex with you, but that she doesn’t want to have sex with anyone. And that may be true. Your wife could be asexual. Or she could have a girlfriend on the side of the world that you don’t know about.

P.S. Maybe I’m jaded and maybe my sample is skewed (definitely my sample is skewed), but something about the conversation your wife had with her sister — the disastrous conversation that led to this whole mess — has my spidey senses tingling. Seeing as your wife is asexual and decades into a loving but sexless marriage and she and her sister were close … she wouldn’t have much to say to her sister during a conversation about their relationships and their sexualities? Besides “still asexual” and “still married,” of course, but I can’t imagine those two statements would elicit the joke your sister-in-law made and the misunderstanding it led to.

P.P.S. Now go get laid.
