» Orange County considers uses for national opioid settlement funds Orange County leaders heard recommendations last week for what the county should do with the tens of millions of dollars it’s set to receive over the next 18 years from national legal settlements with prescription opioid manufacturers and distributors. From 1999 to 2020, more than 564,000 people died from an overdose involving a prescription or illicit opioid. Opioid overdoses further skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, there’s urgency to take action to alleviate the crisis. The plan in Orange County is to dedicate 88% of a regional funding pool to treatment and recovery initiatives. The other 12% will go toward overdose/addiction prevention and research into barriers to care for substance use disorder in the community and unmet community needs. The aim is to expand and enhance existing county programs like a 24-hour recovery hotline and evidence-based treatment program for opioid addiction in the county jail, as well as launch new ones. Ideas include a mobile treatment clinic offering medication-assisted treatment, anti-stigma campaigns, and expanding accessible treatment options on an inpatient and outpatient level for underserved communities, including uninsured and underinsured people.
» Orlando union buster fails to prevent massage therapists from organizing
An anti-union consultant with the local “union avoidance” firm, the Labor Pros, was hired last month to convince massage therapists in Gainesville not to unionize — and failed. According to a union representative, massage therapists at a franchised Hand & Stone massage studio in Gainesville (operated by a woman based in Longwood) voted 22-3 to unionize with the United Food and Commercial Workers union 1625, which also represents workers at Disney World. As far as we know, this makes them the first unionized massage therapists in the state of Florida. Union rep Gary Parody Jr. told *Orlando Weekly* that the massage therapists were inspired by massage therapists at a franchised Elements Massage studio in Colorado who unionized last year.
» Union actors, performers rally at Lake Eola Park amid ongoing national actors’ strike
Nearly a month into a major strike by TV and film actors, Florida performers represented by the Screen Actors Guild — American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) rallied at Lake Eola Park on Thursday, in solidarity with union members nationwide striking for fair compensation, job protections and improved working conditions. The 160,000-member union went on strike July 14, joining 11,500 Hollywood screenwriters who went on strike in May over collapsed negotiations for a new labor contract with entertainment companies and streaming platforms. It’s the two unions’ first joint strike action since 1960 — and a major fixture in this year’s Hot Labor Summer. Union performers in the Sunshine State, represented by SAG-AFTRA, said they’re fighting for fairer compensation for performers (just 12.7% of union members earn enough — $26,470 minimum — to qualify for the union’s health insurance), as well as protection of their images and performances with the advent of artificial technology, better scheduling practices, and reimbursement for relocation expenses when employed away from home. Performers also want access to professional stylists who are qualified to style performers of diverse skin tones and hair textures. Union leaders say that Hollywood studio executives who are reaping billions of dollars off the labor of performers can afford the cost of delivering on their demands. Democratic politicians — State Rep. Anna Eskamani, Congressman Maxwell Frost, and a rep for Congressman Darren Soto — also showed up to the Orlando rally in solidarity, as did other local labor unions and members of the Democratic Socialists of America and Socialist Alternative.
» Advocates call for injunction against Florida’s new immigration law
After filing a constitutional challenge last month, attorneys for migrants and advocates Tuesday asked a federal judge for a preliminary injunction against a new Florida law that makes it a felony to transport into the state people who enter the country without legal documentation. The motion, filed in South Florida, contends that federal law governs issues about transporting migrants, trumping the state law. The sweeping immigration law, approved by Florida’s GOP-controlled legislature earlier this year, includes a prohibition on transporting undocumented people into the state of Florida (including, like, driving an undocumented relative in your car), and requires that businesses with more than 25 employees to use the federal E-Verify system to check the immigration status of workers. Attorneys for the Farmworker Association of Florida and individual plaintiffs filed a lawsuit last month challenging the constitutionality of the transportation prohibition. A preliminary injunction, if granted, could put the prohibition on hold while the case plays out.
» New College eyeballs new president finalists, starts erasing gender studies program
Officials for the New College of Florida last week interviewed three final candidates vying to become the school’s next permanent president, including current Interim President Richard Corcoran. Associate professor Tyler Fisher of UCF and Robert Gervasi, a former interim president at the University of Mount Union in Ohio, were also interviewed for the job. Corcoran, a Republican former speaker of the Florida House and state education commissioner, has helmed the school since February. The direction of the small liberal arts college in Sarasota has dramatically changed since January, when Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed a slew of conservative trustees to the board, including anti-CRT warrior Chris Rufo. The revamped board then voted to remove former president Patricia Okker, replacing her with Corcoran on an interim basis. Meanwhile, a meeting of the trustees that followed the college president interviews got tense when Rufo proposed eliminating New College’s gender studies program. The trustees were advised that the process of eliminating the program would have to involve the state university system’s Board of Governors. The board voted to initiate a process that would lead to the program’s elimination. Trustee Amy Reid, a professor in the gender studies program, and Grace Keenan, the trustees’ student member, voted against that move.
» NOAA updates this year’s hurricane forecast to ‘above normal’
A “near-normal” forecast has become an “above-normal” forecast as this year’s hurricane season enters its peak period. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration last week upgraded its forecast for the season, which started June 1 and will end Nov. 30. “Forecasters believe that current ocean and atmospheric conditions, such as record-warm Atlantic sea surface temperatures, are likely to counterbalance the usually limiting atmospheric conditions associated with the ongoing El Niño event,” the federal agency said in a news release. An average hurricane season produces 14 named storms, with seven hurricanes and three reaching major status. NOAA said Thursday that 14 to 21 named storms are now forecast this year, up from an earlier prediction of 12 to 17 named storms. NOAA is now predicting six to 11 hurricanes, up from an earlier forecast of five to nine. Also, the new forecast said to expect two to five major hurricanes. Named storms are defined as having wind speeds of 39 mph or higher.
Hot Labor Summer continues with a local SAG-AFTRA rally and the first unionized massage therapists in the state, plus New College starts dismantling its gender studies program and other news you may have missed.

Scary. Fascist. Dystopic. Unreal. Painful. Absurd. These are just some of the words Floridians used to describe the proposed HB 999, a specter that loomed over educators this spring. While ultimately tabled, HB 999 spawned SB 266, which passed in early May. Throughout its evolution, this legislation and its foreboding restrictions have targeted the free flow of ideas, threatening to inhibit progressive pedagogy and limit the possibilities for diversity and inclusion at the college level. While Florida has long been treated as a punchline to a national joke about regressive politics, “this is about to be the entire country’s problem,” warned Lorna Bracewell, women’s, gender and sexuality studies program coordinator and an associate professor of political science at Flagler College in St. Augustine. “Every Republican-dominated state legislature is watching closely what is happening in Florida.”
Flagler is a private college that remains insulated from the effects of these bills, for now, but in many ways that is immaterial to the larger issue. HB 999 exemplified “an existential threat to academic freedom and all the ideals that underpin public education,” Bracewell said, ruminating on the bill prior to its tabling. SB 266 is equally catastrophic. “If these policies are permitted to go into effect … it’s a death knell for public education in the state — and it’s not going to be confined to the state.”
The first women’s studies, ethnic studies, and gay and lesbian studies programs — so named at the time — were founded at U.S. universities more than 50 years ago. Since then, these disciplines have become well respected in academia, offering a place for students to challenge assumptions about gender, race and sexuality throughout history and in contemporary culture.
The legislative attacks on these fields of study illustrate an unprecedented overreach from a Republican-led legislature and
Gov. Ron DeSantis and are symptomatic of a widespread bid for power on the part of reactionary politicians and organizations, as well as their determination to prevent critical examinations of the role of gender, race and sexuality in our daily lives and in public policy.
In this legislative session alone, Florida has either passed or proposed bills that would:
• institute a six-week abortion ban;
• allow individuals to carry concealed firearms without a permit;
• prohibit doctors from treating transgender minors with puberty blockers or hormone therapy;
• outlaw teaching about gender identity or sexual orientation in K-12 classrooms;
• prevent elementary-age girls from discussing menstruation at school; and
• expand eligibility for tuition vouchers, thus diverting funding from public education toward private and religious schools where the curriculum can more easily be manipulated.
“We’re all under siege right now,” said Bonnie Thornton Dill, immediate past dean of the College of Arts and Humanities and professor in the Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Maryland.
Bills like HB 999 and SB 266 are “catching fire” in a number of states across the country, she said, as “part of a larger effort to turn back the clock [by] white supremacist patriarchal leadership.”
To aid these efforts, right-wing Republican governors have been appointing handpicked, far-right members to the boards of trustees at universities in states like Florida and Virginia for years. Related legislation, like the ban on tenure for new faculty winding
its way through the Texas legislature, would then hypothetically allow these same boards to fire faculty whose research or teaching they find objectionable.
Like Florida’s Individual Freedom Act, colloquially known as the “Stop WOKE” Act, which passed last session but was blocked by a federal injunction, HB 999 speciously evoked free thought and expression as its impetus. What it and its successor, SB 266, really amount to are alarmingly broad, misleading and distorted catalogs of what far-right conservatives fear most: that younger generations will be taught to think critically about the rampant misrepresentation and sanitization of American history and the continued discrimination against women, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals.
The original language of HB 999 signals the motives of its proponents: eliminating “critical race theory” from public education. This ideology has real meaning tied to the Frankfurt School model championed by a group of philosophers and social theorists in Europe in the early 20th century who challenged status quo assumptions about social roles and power structures. Now the term has become a fear-mongering buzzword used to imply that unchecked “woke-ism” will lead to the oppression of white people, especially those who are male and heterosexual.
No further evidence of this misinterpretation is needed than the list HB 999 first included as examples of the so-called critical theory that would be outlawed: “Critical Race Theory, Critical Race Studies, Critical Ethnic Studies, Radical Feminist Theory, Radical Gender Theory, Queer Theory, Critical Social Justice, or Intersectionality.”
SB 266 is less specific, but no less detrimental, and will impact all of Florida’s 40 public colleges and universities. Under the guise of

equality, it mandates that universities assess their academic units in order to safeguard against curricula “based on theories that systemic racism, sexism, oppression, and privilege are inherent in the institutions of the United States,” which could decimate degree programs in gender and women’s studies, Africana studies, ethnic studies and queer studies, among others.
Under the new law, even general education courses cannot include the teaching of systemic forms of oppression or the invocation of “identity politics,” which the bill does not define.
Not only do bills restricting academic freedom have the potential to “destroy higher education,” said Leandra Preston, a senior lecturer of women’s and gender studies at the University of Central Florida, “[they] would not permit the kind of critical thought that higher education demands, allows and encourages,” or the research and learning that “leads to transformations and the kind of work that we need to help our ailing nation.”
While the language of SB 266 seems deliberately ambiguous in order to mitigate a direct constitutional challenge, its origins and the fact that legislators even tried to pass the more explicit HB 999 “just to make a political point and to not run afoul of their overlords is terrifying,” said Amy Reid, director of gender studies and a professor of French language and literature at New College of Florida. “They think they can ban ideas.”
Despite the bills’ irrational scope and regardless of whether they pass as originally written, these attacks on gender studies, critical race theory and queer studies have a chilling effect on faculty and students, some of whom already self-censor in their classrooms for fear of reprisal. This is especially the case for junior faculty and graduate students. Diane Price Herndl, department chair of women’s and gender studies at the University of South Florida, laments that the only assistant professor her department has hired in the past decade recently resigned due to the political situation in Florida.
These bills and policies “are going to provoke a real exodus,” Reid said. “It’s going to take years to rebuild the universities.”
Price Herndl said, “My students are furious”; they are “almost apoplectically insulted” by the implication that young people are incapable of critically assessing the information provided them by professors or that they could be so easily indoctrinated as Republican lawmakers claim.
“Why go to college if you aren’t learning from scholars who are actively researching, who are producing knowledge and who you can be in dialogue with about their knowledge production?” asked Nicole Morse, director of the Center for Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies and an assistant professor of media studies at Florida Atlantic University.“That’s the whole point of higher ed.” Additional language in SB 266 outlaws campus programming and organizations that “advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, or promote or engage in political or social activism,” effectively eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) offices that help make campuses welcoming to faculty, staff and students from marginalized communities. The bill will also affect hiring and firing, giving each institution’s president the final say in faculty hiring decisions, regardless of the input of current faculty, and curtail the ability to appeal firing decisions beyond the level of the university president.
“It’s really clear that they’re setting up a system that, if actually implemented the way that it’s designed, can fire people at will because we’re saying and publishing things that they do not like,” Reid warned.
At New College, where Reid teaches, the right-wing takeover is already in high gear. A small public liberal arts college with a student-centered curriculum, the school has been attacked by Republicans for ostensibly being a bastion of liberalism. Its DEI office has already been eliminated. In January, its president, Patricia Okker, was fired and replaced by one of DeSantis’ close
associates. Even before SB 266, its board of trustees, further stacked with DeSantis appointees, was discussing getting rid of gender studies at the college.
At the University of Florida, another DeSantis ally has been installed as president, a sign of the proliferating attempts by the right to take over public education from myriad angles.
A recent report from Inside Higher Ed shows that college and university presidents in Florida have been unwilling to speak out against these bills, perhaps for fear of reprisal. Many faculty and administrators have been told not to make public comments about the legislation, according to a university employee who asked to remain anonymous.
have been donating multimillion-dollar sums to major universities in states like Arizona, New York, Florida and Virginia, potentially garnering the ability to influence public education through endowed professorships, input on hiring and firing decisions made by at least one university, and the creation of new departments and centers that promote their conservative ideology.
While students and faculty have little control over the financial and political machinations of their institutions, when it comes to these bills, they are fighting back: protesting, organizing panels and teach-ins and forming coalitions with groups on campus and beyond. Labor unions across Florida have been meeting weekly and joining with faculty and graduate student unions to help combat the advance of a number of bills and policies that would impact workers’ rights, academic freedom, and freedom from harassment and discrimination.
The attack on higher education in Florida has been receiving pushback not just on a local and statewide level but also from many national organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Council of Learned Societies and the National Women’s Studies Association.
“We believe that this struggle is not just a struggle in the academy but it impacts every aspect of education, particularly PK-12,” said Karsonya Wise Whitehead, president of NWSA. “This is our battle,” she said of her organization, which primarily supports feminist and gender, women’s and sexuality studies programs, and can use its reach and platform to speak up for members in contested parts of the country.
Educators Ms. spoke to for this story echo the warning that what is happening to higher education is only one aspect of a series of attacks on education more broadly.
On top of the expansion of the school voucher system, other proposed bills in Florida would:
• allow anyone in a given county the right to lodge complaints against books in school libraries or other instructional materials they find objectionable;
• give authority to the Department of Education (which reports to the governor) to design the sex education curriculum statewide; and
• ask K-12 schools to create disciplinary policies to punish students for using bathrooms that do not correspond to their sex at birth.
“DeSantis is known to be vindictive, and everybody is worried that if they come against [HB 999], that he will target whatever college or university speaks out against it, that there will be a special veto of their funding,” the source told Ms. Magazine
In January, public colleges and universities in Florida were required to provide the governor’s office with a list of diversity and critical race theory “initiatives” on their campuses.
“The sweeping directive, which provided no instructions for interpreting what constitutes DEI or CRT, yielded a grab bag of hundreds of student organizations, mentorship programs, community outreach initiatives, offices dedicated to federal compliance and a seemingly random assortment of classes,” according to the Miami Herald.
“What’s been really incredible in this moment is to see the solidarity from colleagues who weren’t on these lists toward those of us on the lists,” Morse said.“I thought I would be facing this mostly alone, and instead everyone came together.”
Public education has become both a smokescreen and a convenient scapegoat for radical politicians to enact unpopular policies and attempt to stem the tide of progressive ideas prevalent in younger generations. None of this is new, Thornton Dill stressed. Conservatives are “draw[ing] from the playbook of U.S. history and the actions to suppress and deny and repress and push back strides that Blacks have made, in particular.”
Money and power lie at the root of these acts. In fact, over at least the past decade, far-right ideologues like the Koch brothers
Far from separate issues, these and other restrictions at the K-12 level dovetail with regressive plans for Florida’s public colleges and universities—and further intersect with other attacks on reproductive rights, the LGBTQ+ community and labor unions. Put together, they constitute a concerted effort to push back a century of progress on civil rights.
“We know that constitutionally a ban on an idea cannot hold,” Reid said,“but what damage is done between when they articulate that ban and when you can finally get it thrown out? There are several years of pain, of not learning, of students being driven away, of people being too afraid to speak out, of teachers being afraid, of individuals’ careers being destroyed, of families being uprooted.”
Florida Atlantic University’s Morse added, “The rest of the country can sometimes dismiss what happens in Florida, [but] this is a nationwide right-wing movement to take over education. People who might want to dismiss it as just a wacky Florida thing need to be ready to learn from our experience.”
We can all learn from the organizing and resistance of the students and faculty leading the charge to preserve academic freedom in Florida — and turn the tide of these attacks on higher education, women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants and other marginalized communities nationwide.

‘A WEAK DICTATOR’
DeSantis suspends State Attorney Monique Worrell for ‘incompetence’; Worrell ‘will not be bullied,’ vows to return
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
For the second time in the past year, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended an elected state attorney, this time going after Orlando prosecutor Monique Worrell of the Ninth Judicial Circuit.
During a press conference Wednesday morning in Tallahassee, DeSantis claimed that Worrell, a Democrat,“has been clearly and fundamentally derelict so as to constitute both neglect of duty and incompetence.”
DeSantis issued an executive order suspending Worrell and appointing judge Andrew Bain, also of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, to take over her position. The governor’s executive order cites his authority to do so on account of a state attorney’s “malfeasance, misfeasance, neglect of duty, drunkenness, incompetence, permanent inability to perform official duties, or commission of a felony.”
Worrell represents Orange and Osceola Counties in the Ninth Judicial Circuit. The Democratic state attorney was elected to her position in 2020, earning 66% of the Orange County votes, or nearly 400,000 votes total.
Critics, including DeSantis, have accused Worrell of being “soft on crime.”
Worrell was castigated after a shooting spree in Orlando’s Pine Hills neighborhood earlier this year that left three people dead. Most recently, Worrell was denounced after a man who’d previously been arrested on multiple charges (but not yet convicted) shot two Orlando police officers on Friday, critically injuring them.
Daton Viel had been arrested by Orlando police in March and released on bond weeks later. At the time of the shooting, the 28-year-old had three warrants out for his arrest. He had not gone through trial, and thus had not yet been convicted and found guilty of charges levied against him.
Worrell called a press conference Monday after the Fraternal Order of Police, a labor union representing Orlando police officers, derided her over the shooting in a Facebook post. As she explained, her office is not responsible for setting bond amounts. Nor would the SAO have any control over the fact that Viel bonded out.
DeSantis, who’s currently running for U.S. president with the support of Florida’s largest police union, cited this latest case — part of what he called a pattern by Worrell of avoiding mandatory minimum sentences for drug trafficking, gun crimes, as well as for allowing children “to avoid serious crimes or incarceration altogether” — as grounds for her suspension.
“Prosecutors do have a certain amount of discretion about which cases to bring and which not, but what this state attorney has done is abuse that discretion and has effectively nullified certain laws in the state of Florida,” said DeSantis. “That breaches her duties that she owes to the people of Florida under our state constitution, and provides the basis for the suspension.”
Attorney General Ashely Moody, Polk County sheriff Grady Judd (who Photoshopped Worrell into a “This is fine” meme, earning a grin from DeSantis during the press conference), and Brevard county sheriff Wayne Ivey were also present during DeSantis’ announcement.
No law enforcement from Central Florida — Worrell’s jurisdiction — was present.
DOORSTEPPED
Keisha Mulfort, suspended state attorney Worrell’s chief of staff, was fired while out on maternity leave
At a rally protesting her suspension, Worrell declared “I am your duly elected state attorney, and nothing done by a weak dictator can change that.”
She denounced DeSantis’ claims of “incompetence” and those of Attorney General Ashley Moody, a Republican who claimed Worrell had “made justice in the Ninth Circuit almost an arbitrary coin flip.”
In his announcement of Worrell’s suspension, featuring zero representatives from Central Florida, DeSantis appointed local judge Andrew Bain, 37, to take her place. Bain, a graduate of the University of Miami and Florida A&M University’s College of Law, was appointed to the county bench by DeSantis in 2020.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that he’s also a member of the conservative Federalist Society and received low marks in a judicial qualifications poll by the Central Florida Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys.
Bain shared on Wednesday that his goal as state attorney “is to restore order, restore the faith in the law, restore public trust, and restore our relationship with our fellow [justice] partners … in law enforcement.”
Worrell, and some other vocal critics of the governor’s decision — including State Rep. Anna Eskamani, U.S. Congressman Maxwell Frost, and State Rep. Rita Harris — have described the suspension as a politically motivated attack and a subversion of local democracy by DeSantis, who’s struggling in his campaign for U.S. President.
Data from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement shows the overall crime rate in Orange County dropped 9% from 2020 to 2021. In Osceola County, the crime rate dropped 11% in that same period. Orlando police chief Eric Smith also shared recently that violent crime, including shootings, has decreased in downtown Orlando over the last year.
“In removing a duly elected official, who is also the only Black woman State Attorney in Florida, Gov. DeSantis has made his priorities clear,” State Rep. Rita Harris, D-Orlando, shared in a statement. “He does not care about the will of Floridians, but is actively using us as pawns to energize a national base in his run for higher office.”
Eskamani called the action “politically motivated,” affecting a majority-Democratic part of the state, which she says “should alarm everyone.”
“DeSantis is extreme, unfit to serve, and must be held accountable,” she concluded.
Former State Attorney Andrew Warren of Hillsborough County, elected twice to his position in 2016 and 2020, was also suspended last year by DeSantis after he pledged not to prosecute those seeking or providing gender-affirming care or an abortion. He has sued over the ordeal, but has not been reinstated. DeSantis appointed a “tough on crime” Republican to replace him. Worrell has said she plans to continue her campaign for reelection.
“I will not be bullied by DeSantis or used as a tool in his failing and disastrous presidential campaign,” Worrell wrote in a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. news@orlandoweekly.com
The chief of staff under recently suspended Orlando state attorney Monique Worrell was fired last week while on maternity leave. Keisha Mulfort was notified of her termination on Thursday, one day after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held a press conference in Tallahassee suspending Worrell over allegations of “neglect of duty” and “incompetence.”
But Mulfort, who’s been in and out of the hospital due to complications from the recent birth of her daughter, wasn’t just notified of her termination over the phone or email.
Personnel from the Ninth Judicial District State Attorney’s Office, accompanied by two Orange County sheriff’s deputies, showed up to Mulfort’s door Thursday afternoon to deliver notice of her termination, effective last Wednesday. They also asked her to relinquish items related to her position, such as a cell phone and tablet.
Mulfort said she’d been nursing her 10-week-year-old daughter when they knocked on her door Thursday afternoon. “I’m literally with my daughter right now,” Mulfort can be heard saying in OCSO body camera footage of the encounter obtained by the Orlando Sentinel
“Ma’am, I don’t believe that changes any facts of returning property,” a sheriff’s deputy can be heard saying in response.
Mulfort, who is out on maternity leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, told SAO 9th personnel that they needed to contact her attorney.
“This is unacceptable,” said Mulfort in the video. “I am on FMLA and y’all are coming here like I’m a criminal,” she continued. “Regardless of what has happened at that office, regardless of what you have with Monique Worrell, I am on FMLA and y’all should have made arrangements. That would have been a respectful thing to do.”
Ryan Williams, an attorney who ran against Worrell for State Attorney in 2020, was appointed Chief Assistant Wednesday to serve under the leadership of Andrew Bain, a member of the conservative Federalist Society appointed by DeSantis to replace Worrell as head prosecutor for Orange and Osceola Counties.
Williams reportedly contacted Mulfort Wednesday ahead of law enforcement showing up to her doorstep, to request the office’s social media passwords. In the bodycam footage, Mulfort says those passwords had been changed last month, while she was on leave.
The State Attorney’s Office defended its method of contact in a statement to local media Thursday.
“It is common practice of the State Attorney’s Office to communicate a separation of employment in person. In Ms. Mulfort’s case, attempts to communicate with her to notify her of her separation were unsuccessful,” the statement read. “The State Attorney’s Office followed its standard operating procedures to effectuate the separation process. The State Attorney thanks Ms. Mulfort for her public service.”
A spokesperson for the Orange County Sheriff’s Office told the Sentinel the sheriff was “not aware” that two of his deputies had been enlisted to accompany SAO personnel to Mulfort’s home.
“While it is not uncommon for deputies to provide standby services, this should have been handled exclusively by the sworn investigators at the State Attorney’s Office,” said OCSO spokesperson Michelle Guido. — McKenna Schueler

BEYOND BURGERS
Medellín Burger serves up Colombian comfort with a classic parade of street and home dishes
BY BAO LE-HUU
All restaurants serve food. But some serve memories, a taste of home. Medellín Burger Steak & Bar in Altamonte Springs is one such spot. This Colombian restaurant is an unassuming, casual place with picnic tables outside and a bright dining room inside splashed with color from a mural and floral wall. More than anything, though, it’s a Latin space with a true expat vibe where English is secondary, the kind of place that any diverse city needs. Besides, the language of hospitality is universal, and in that language, Medellín is fluent.
Besides living up to its name with a whole menu section dedicated to hamburgers, Medellín Burger Steak & Bar also offers a full
range of Colombian classics, with many dishes that lean toward comfort and tradition.
The appetizer list, for example, revolves around Latin staples like arepas, empanadas and tostones. Medellín’s chorizo con arepa ($6.99) features exceptional whole Colombian chorizo sausage that’s much more dimensional and nuanced in seasoning than the crumbled kind often found elsewhere. The accompanying arepas are small cornmeal discs fried to a nice crunch. They also offer a variety of empanadas ($2.99 each). Our chicken empanada packed seasoned shredded meat inside a tight, crisp crust.
When it comes to burgers, Colombians have built a reputation of flair for their topping
profiles. Here, the namesake Medellín burger ($12.99) stacks the patty with signature ingredients like mozzarella cheese, avocado, coleslaw, fried potato sticks, fried plantain crisp and tartar sauce.
While the combo might seem an overload to a hamburger traditionalist, the aggregate effect is actually much more harmonious in reality, with the textural dynamism from the crisp tostone and potato sticks being one of the defining virtues. Those who typically like mustard or pickles like me may find this burger lacking in tart contrast, but if you like sweetness and crunch then the Medellín is for you. Make it a combo with a soda and side of simple but perfect fries for an extra $3.50.
One note for burger aficionados: While our overall burger was generally well-executed, the actual patty was treacherously close to well-done. For anyone who likes their meat with some color, maybe make that special request. We weren’t asked how we’d like it cooked, but that could’ve been the language barrier.
Like their hamburgers, Colombians also know how to trick out their hot dogs with pizzazz. In fact, the hot dog chicharron ($9.99) was one of the best bites of the meal. The bun was lined with melted mozzarella cheese, stuffed with a plump frank, and topped festively with caramelized onions, crunchy potato sticks, ketchup drizzle and heavenly chunks of fried pork belly.
Of the traditional plates, we went with the bandeja paisa ($18.99), a big sampler of Colombian favorites including thin grilled steak, chicharrones, Colombian sausage, rice, beans, avocado, fried sweet plantain, arepa and fried egg over rice. It’s a heavy, meat-forward platter that was more substantial than remarkable, but it did include a nice long strip of that decadent fried pork belly. With all that carnivore action, you could use a little roughage — so maybe take advantage of their very reasonably priced side salad option ($2.50) to go with it.
Of the handful of desserts on offer, we followed the recommendation of our kind server and tried the churros ($4.50). These nugget versions of the fried sweet dough — drizzled with caramel and topped with whipped cream and maraschino cherry — were a serviceable but nonetheless sweet ending to a colorful journey of homey delights.
Whether you’re from the old country craving a taste of the motherland or a culinary wayfarer looking for some authentic Colombian flavors, Medellín Burger Steak & Bar will satisfy.

Streaming premieres
BY STEVE SCHNEIDER
(NOTE: With the writers’ and actors’ strikes ongoing, all streaming schedules remain subject to change. Also, the cast of The Witcher may become South Korean at any time.)
Premieres Wednesday:
At Home With the Furys — Retired British heavyweight champ Tyson Fury settles into a life of cozy domesticity in a reality series that gives fair warning of what we’re going to have to settle for as the strikes wane on. Although I have to admit, I have a certain morbid curiosity over Flip This Dungeon With Andrew Tate. (Netflix)
Depp v. Heard — If you pored intently over the livestream of the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial, here’s your chance to watch the highlights again — and pay for it this time! Courtroom footage is said to make up the lion’s share of a three-part docuseries that promises an unbiased and impartial view of the proceedings. I guess “They’re both irredeemable scumbags” is an easier conclusion to reach when pricey reenactors aren’t getting in the way. (Netflix)
Miguel Wants to Fight — A rite of passage in any young boy’s life is when he finally enjoys the privilege of getting his brains beaten out after school. OK, not for you or me or anyone else sane. But it’s still the premise of this comedy in which a high-school junior yearns to become one of the cool kids by getting into his first scrap. And it had better be a quick fight, because I hear the security guards actually try to break these things up when the kids don’t have guns. (Hulu)
Premieres Thursday:
Cold Case Files: DNA Speaks — The great Bill Kurtis brings us another true-crime show about long-dormant cases that get reopened — this one a spinoff with a specific focus on DNA evidence. If we’re lucky, maybe we’ll finally learn which awful family members are guilty of killing all those poor unvaccinated people. (Hulu)
Killing It Season 2 — Having explored the idea of wrestling snakes for a payday in Season 1, Craig and Julia now turn their attention to the slightly less exciting scheme of farming palmetto berries. And lest you think nothing could be less exciting than that, guest stars this season include Kyle Mooney. (Peacock)
A Life Too Short: The Isabella Nardoni Case — A seamy moment in British history gets uncovered as a mother tries to find out why her 5-year-old daughter fell to her death from an apartment window. Given everything else he’s been up to recently, can we please find a way to blame this on Eric Clapton? (Netflix)
My Dad the Bounty Hunter — Season 2 finds Sean and Lisa relying on their mom to set things right after their dad is kidnapped by alien adversaries. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just tell them he went out for smokes? (Netflix)
The Upshaws — New challenges face Mike Epps, Kim Fields and their kin in Part 4, with plot developments ranging from fresh professional opportunities to mental-health issues. I don’t know if I’m ready to see Tootie wrestle
with dissociative identity disorder, but if the other half is Blair Warner I guess it could have its moments. (Netflix)
Premieres Friday: 10 Days of a Bad Man — A Turkish private investigator considers some shady tactics in the second installment of a trilogy that began with last spring’s 10 Days of a Good Man. Can’t wait for the morally ambiguous franchise closer, 10 Days of a Man Who Seems Nice Enough But Is Still No Prize Winner, You Should Excuse Me for Saying. (Netflix)
Bad Things — Barbie’s Hari Nef continues her moment with an LGBT horror flick in which an eerie hotel wreaks shocking changes on a quartet of female and nonbinary visitors. Other members of the cast include Gayle Rankin of G.L.O.W. and none other than Molly Ringwald. Listen, if The Shining had a lineup like that, I might have forgiven Kubrick for faking the moon landing. (Shudder)
Chris Fleming: Hell — The absurdist comic presents an hour of stand-up, sketches and songs that draw from his off-kilter worldview and gender-fluid physicality. Or, as it’s called when you’re 12, “frightening the other campers.” (Peacock)
Harlan Coben’s Shelter — The first in Coben’s Mickey Bolitar series of YA mystery novels gets adapted into an eight-episode series that turns on the disappearance of a teenager from a New Jersey town. But if it takes you eight episodes to figure out why a kid would want to escape New Jersey, let’s just say you
and I went to different high schools. (Prime Video)
LEGO Disney Princess: The Castle Quest — The LEGO versions of Tiana, Moana, Snow White, Rapunzel and Ariel team up to combat an attempted takeover by Gaston in an all-new animated movie. Speaking of girl power, one of these days the entertainment industry is going to hit on the idea of LEGO Barbie, and then we’re really going to wish we hadn’t shitcanned the Sherman Antitrust Act. (Disney+)
Mask Girl — In a thriller series imported from (you guessed it!) South Korea, putting on a mask is all it takes for a lowly office worker to become a streaming sensation. Gosh, you’d almost think somebody was trying to make a subtle metaphor about the anonymity and interchangeability of talent. (Netflix)
The Monkey King — Filmmaker Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer) turns to animation to spin the tale of a superpowered monkey whose crusade against dragons is undermined by his over-inflated sense of self-importance. It’s based on the legend of a real-life Buddhist monk who lived in the 7th century and went by the name of (checks notes) “Gene Simmons.” (Netflix)
New Bandits (Cangaco Novo) — When a Brazilian bank clerk goes in search of his family history, he finds himself heir to a criminal enterprise — a discovery that threatens to compromise all his personal values. This is why you should stick to 23andMe, because the worst thing you can learn there is that you’re part Irish. (Prime Video)
Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie — Everybody’s favorite gateway lesbian gets her very own special, in which we see how she remains an asset to her friends in the Peanuts gang while managing her naturally introverted tendencies. Excuse me, but that isn’t introversion. That’s a natural aversion to having some other kid’s angry parent check your genitals before a track meet. (Apple TV+)
Premieres Tuesday: Lighthouse — The days of honest-to-goodness talk shows are here again as Japanese singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino and comedian Masayasu Wakabayashi sit down to dish on everything that’s going on in their lives and the world. Sure, you’ll probably find it a little hard to relate, but what do you expect from a strike? David Susskind? (Netflix)
Untold: Swamp Kings — Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow and other Gators revisit the early-21st-century heyday of University of Florida football. Personally, I’m not going to put them up there with the ’80s squad until they send a player to Dancing With the Stars. (Netflix)

ALL OVER THIS WASTELAND
Brent Faiyaz turns our dumpster-fire world into musical treasure
BY GABBY MACOGAY
Brent Faiyaz is an exceptional tour de force — not just as a singer, not just as a brand owner, but as an accomplished creative visionary and philanthropist. The 27-year-old Faiyaz is en route to Orlando this week on his “F*ck the World, It’s a Wasteland” tour, a
celebration of his latest album, Wasteland, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 upon its release back in July 2022.
In an interview discussing the release, Faiyaz told Insider last year that the concept behind Wasteland is reminiscent of post-pandemic

confusion, loss and reckless abandon.
“I feel like everybody was in the space where we lost somebody during COVID,” Faiyaz elaborated to Insider, “a lot of civil unrest going on. 2020 was really some of the wildest shit ever, 2020 and 2021 was some of the wildest shit ever. So I think Wasteland to me is what I felt like America was, what this world we’re living in was.”
The initial Wasteland tour announcement followed the rising R&B artist’s recent partnership with UnitedMasters, an alliance that includes the development of a new creative agency, solidifying Faiyaz’s mission to remain an independent artist maintaining autonomy over his work.
The album Wasteland not only puts Faiyaz’s own velvety vocals on display, but also features some heavy-hitting guests, including Alicia Keys, Drake and Tyler, The Creator. As he continues to skyrocket into the upper echelons of R&B and beyond, he draws influence and inspiration from genre-defying sources like Radiohead and Cocteau Twins. There are skits sprinkled throughout the album, weaving an overarching storyline and serving as an intriguing transition between each track.
But even as Faiyaz is making records, topping charts and selling out shows, he still finds himself intertwined with his hometown of Columbia, Maryland, reminiscing about the place where he first began to break into an elusive local music scene that inspired his exuberant passion for R&B.
“I feel for so long, there really wasn’t a bridge to get over here. There wasn’t no bridge to get your shit heard, because when I was coming up, it really wasn’t no Maryland music scene. That shit didn’t exist. So to be in this position now, where I feel I can put a whole lot of talent on, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do,” Faiyaz told Insider.
Aside from his musical pursuits and the recent launch of his fashion brand NUWO, Faiyaz is also a dedicated member of his community, striving to give others a chance to follow in the footsteps that led him to stardom. He tries to put on a benefit concert in his home state each year, along with participating in various initiatives that provide kids with an outlet to express their own talent and creativity.
Faiyaz also launched the Show U Off grant program, an initiative designed to uplift and promote businesses owned by Black women. Although Faiyaz may believe the world to be a “wasteland,” he is exactly the type of artist to make us feel quite the opposite. Even if just for a moment.

Heads up, party people. TLU will be on pause next week for the same reason it is every year at this time. That’s right, our annual Best of Orlando blowout issue will be all up in here. Oh, the anticipation!
LOCAL RELEASES
Since moving to Orlando from Arizona in 2015, theatrical rocker Dane White has been diligently building his artistic résumé. When not drumming with industrial-metal flagbearers Combichrist, he’s been a one-man factory in developing his solo vehicle CyberScream. From conceptualization to writing to singing to playing to production, he’s so far handled every aspect himself.
As aggro as it is glossy, CyberScream merges heavy metal, electronic and pop into a vision of techno-apocalyptic romanticism that simultaneously revels in and lambastes the detritus of modern digital life.
After a 2020 eponymous debut album, White has returned with an ongoing series of short CyberScream mixtapes that launched late last year. The just-released third chapter
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Tim Cappello, C.B. Carlyle & the Desert Angels, Audromeda (of CRUX): What does the buffest, most sex-hipped saxophone player in all of rock & roll history and one of the moodiest Americana acts to ever come out of Central Florida have in common? Other than sharing this one bill, probably not a goddamn thing. But maybe you’re as turned on by sultry sax music as you are by haunted folk songs. It doesn’t matter, weirdo, because both acts are very much worth seeing live.
After etching himself an iconic spot in the 1980s zeitgeist as part of Tina Turner’s band and an exceptionally well-oiled appearance in The Lost Boys, Cappello has been rising again in the underground in recent years now that he’s finally got some solo material out. Local band C.B. Carlyle & the Desert Angels are also theatrical, albeit in a dusty old Western sort of way, with their cinematic tumbleweed songs. Add DJ Audromeda from alternative club night CRUX into the colorful mix and it’ll be a full night steeped in aura. (8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 18, Will’s Pub, $15)
Theo Croker: This gifted young trumpeter was born music royalty as the grandson of jazz great Doc Cheatham. What’s made the Grammy-nominated artist a modern luminary in his own right, though, is his signature talent and vision. While Croker followed in the footsteps of his famous grandfather in instrument, he’s blazed his own accomplished path with a progressive, Afrocentric approach to music that actively and seamlessly connects the dots between jazz, R&B, hip-hop and electronic music. Although he’s actually from nearby Leesburg, this very special engagement will be Croker’s Orlando debut with local soul combo April Brown & the After 5 Band in the opening slot. Now here’s a gallery show where at least you know the art will be certified legit. Too soon? (5:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, Orlando Museum of Art, $89-$149)
— straightforwardly titled Mixtape Vol. 3 — is a two-song bundle of “Humillionaire,” a big stomper that rocks like a more metal-minded Orgy, and “Eternity,” a crooning arena love song that shows a softer and emerging side of CyberScream. Mixtape Vol. 3 now streams everywhere.
Luscious Lisa: Awww shit. Look out, y’all. Orlando’s dirtiest party-rap act are back and will finally be getting nasty live for the first time since 2019. Our own homegrown coed 2 Live Crew aren’t just back on stage, they’re back with new material and will debut four new songs. With a catalog that packs titles like “T-Rex Dick,” “Dem Titties,” “Fap Fap” and “Stutta Pussy,” who knows what new depths of ass-clapping pornography the crew of Luscious Lisa, Scotty Pizza and Shakes Vanilla will cook up next. Guaranteed, though, it’ll be like a hot romp between Peaches and 2 Live Crew. They’ve got even more songs completed, so hopefully this return show will give them the, ahem, thrust to complete the new album. It’s been Luscious Lisa’s longest dry spell yet, so expect them to end it by getting extra wet. Clams and cocks unite! (8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, Tuffy’s Music Box, $10-$15) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Reefer Madness
Breakthrough Theatre Company presents a stage adaptation of 1936’s anti-marijuana propaganda-turnedsatire Reefer Madness. The cult classic film was originally funded by a church and intended to be a cautionary tale to teach parents the dangers of marijuana and drug use. It follows a group of teens as they’re lured into trying marijuana and subsequently become addicted, leading to a series of hit-and-runs, organized crime, manslaughter, murder and madness. It’s littered with violence, orgies and “drug-crazed abandon,” which ultimately contributed to its resurgence in the early ’70s as an unintentional satire of anti-drug moralizing. The film is largely considered one of the worst ever made, so we expect nothing short of greatness. This production runs through Sept. 4. Various times, Breakthrough Theatre Company, 6900 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, breakthroughtheatre.com, $12-$20. — Chloe Greenberg

BLK JOY Fest
Orlando is seeing its third annual BLK JOY Fest this weekend presented by the Black Health Commission, because as organizers put it: “Black joy matters, too.” The festival o ers a space for Black communities and allies to center joy, while continuing to engage in meaningful dialogues about racial disparities in critical components of everyday life, such as housing and healthcare. Through the festival, organizers aim to uplift community resources, health and wellness services and local businesses, featuring primarily Black-owned vendors. But it’s also a time for, as the name suggests, joy: The festival will also feature music, art, food, drinks, games, and interactive activities, with local organizations in attendance to promote social services geared toward fostering a healthy, prosperous and equitable Orlando for all of us. 11 a.m., Lake Lorna Doone Park, 1519 W.

Hip-hop hitmakers across decades are rolling into the City Beautiful for a veritable live mixtape show. You’ve got Onyx, Melly Mel, Nice and Smooth, Black Sheep [what!! worth the admission alone], Chubb Rock, Mr. Cheeks and Positive K all demonstrating the adaptable durability that has kept hip-hop such a thoroughly modern, adaptable and vibrant art form for the past … half-century?

Danny Brown + JPEGMafia
My dear departed friend Dave Hargrove and I had a running joke, for years, about the nature of “the new Danny Brown album.” Usually that it was NSFW and released in a format that’s either too messy or too dangerous to play, but still well worth the time and e ort. And that was never too far o . Newer fans may know him best from “The Danny Brown Podcast,” a show that only hints at the man’s voluminous skillset. The underground legend, who’s playing at the Vanguard on Sunday night, has gradually found his way in front of mainstream audiences, building upon his original fanbase, which is practically fanatical about their man, who famously inspired Central Florida rap legend Kitty (fka Kitty Pryde). Born in Detroit in 1981, Brown made an immediate impact on the industry, putting out his first two albums (both of which were excellent) in back to back years, putting him on the map as an artist to watch, and then keep on watching. Brown released his solid sixth album, Quaranta, earlier this year. Brown also dropped his Scaring the Hoes mixtape in March, a collab with New York rapper JPEGMafia, who will be opening for him at Vanguard. That’s Peggy’s second mixtape, in addition to four studio albums, all since 2016; the most recent is LP!, released in 2021. It’s a must-see show for acolytes of boundary-pushing indie rap, featuring two of the most unique talents in the game today. 7 p.m., The Vanguard, 578 N. Orange Ave., thevanguard.live, $35-$39.50. —

Cult Classics: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Despite what Tina “Aunty Entity” Turner sang in the theme song to this 1985 film, I think we can all agree that we do, indeed, need another hero. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the third installment in George Miller’s Road Warrior franchise, finds Max Rockatansky in Bartertown, a trading town run by the aforementioned Aunty. As per Miller’s formula, this is another hardscrabble outpost of post-apocalyptic “civilization” in which Mad Max must first figure out the rules, then break them in order to free the downtrodden. But in this one, everything runs on pig farts! Don’t know about you, but these post-ecocide dystopian future films are starting to seem more like guidebooks than fantasies — be prepared to take notes. 9:30 p.m., Enzian Theater, 1300 Orlando Ave., Maitland, 407-629-0054, enzian.org, $11. — Jessica Bryce Young
Max and Iggor Cavalera: Morbid Devastation
In a move that may be interpreted as light heresy by more zealous metal fans, brothers Max and Iggor Cavalera this year released rerecorded versions of the classic first two albums (Morbid Visions, Bestial Devastation) from their equally classic death-metal band Sepultura. It takes some guts to reinterpret material (even though it’s theirs) that still sounds so utterly fresh and urgent, nearly 40 years on from their release. What was once the sound of a cadre of sociopathic Brazilian teens kicking savagely back against everything through a lens of Venom, Bathory and Kreator is now leavened with decades of life experience, increased musical skill and a slightly di erent sense of urgency, as now the entire world is on fire. The Cavalera brothers — Sepultura has been cleaved through band conflicts — are now taking this reimag-
ined music on the road with their Morbid Devastation Tour. Florida, this is your only chance (well there’s Pensacola too, but geez is that even Florida?) to see these two legends go all teenage rage. You owe it to yourself.

BY ROB BREZSNY
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Unless you are French, chances are you have never heard of SaintJohn Perse (1887–1975). He was a renowned diplomat for the French government and a poet who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Now he’s virtually unknown outside of his home country. Can we draw useful lessons for your use, Leo? Well, I suspect that in the coming months, you may very well come into greater prominence and wield more clout. But it’s crucial for the long-term health of your soul that during this building time, you are in service to nurturing your soul as much as your ego. The worldly power and pride you achieve will ultimately fade like Perse’s. But the spiritual growth you accomplish will endure forever.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination.” Virgo author Christopher Isherwood said that. I’m offering his thought because I believe life will be spectacularly not bad for you in the coming weeks — whether or not you have a good physique. In fact, I’m guessing life will be downright enjoyable, creative and fruitful. In part, that’s because you will be the beneficiary of a stream of luck. And in part, your gentle triumphs and graceful productiveness will unfold because you will be exceptionally imaginative.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “You know how crazy love can make you,” write Mary D. Esselman and Elizabeth Ash Vélez in their book Love Poems for Real Life. “On any given day, you’re insanely happy, maniacally miserable, kooky with contentment or bonkers with boredom — and that’s in a good relationship.” They add, “You have to be a little nuts to commit yourself, body and soul, to one other person — one wonderful, goofy, fallible person — in the hope that happily-ever-after really does exist.” The authors make good points, but their view of togetherness will be less than fully applicable to you in the coming months. I suspect life will bring you boons as you focus your intelligence on creating well-grounded, nourishing, non-melodramatic bonds with trustworthy allies.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I don’t adopt anyone’s ideas — I have my own.” So proclaimed Scorpio author Ivan Turgenev (1818–1883). Really, Ivan? Were you never influenced by someone else’s concepts, principles, art or opinions? The fact is that all of us live in a world created and shaped by the ideas of others. We should celebrate that wondrous privilege! We should be pleased we don’t have to produce everything from scratch under our own power. As for you Scorpios reading this oracle, I urge you to be the anti-Turgenev in the coming weeks. Rejoice
at how interconnected you are — and take full advantage of it. Treasure the teachings that have made you who you are. Sing your gratitude for those who have forged the world you love to live in. You now have the power to be an extraordinary networker.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Tibetan term lenchak is often translated as “karmic debt.” It refers to the unconscious conditioning and bad old habits that attract us to people we would be better off not engaging. I will be bold and declare that sometime soon, you will have fully paid off a lenchak that has caused you relationship problems. Congrats! You are almost free of a long-running delusion. You don’t actually need an influence you thought you needed.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you’re like many of us, you have a set bathing routine. In the shower or bath, you start your cleansing process with one particular action, like washing your face, and go on to other tasks in the same sequence every time. Some people live most of their lives this way: following well-established patterns in all they do. I’m not criticizing that approach, though it doesn’t work for me. I need more unpredictability and variety. Anyway, Capricorn, I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will benefit from trying my practice. Have fun creating variations on your standard patterns. Enjoy being a novelty freak with the daily details.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In July 1812, composer Ludwig van Beethoven wrote a 10-page love letter to a woman he called “My Angel” and “Immortal Beloved.” He never sent it, and scholars are still unsure of the addressee’s identity. The message included lines like “you — my everything, my happiness … my solace — my everything” and “forever thine, forever mine, forever us.” I hope you will soon have sound reasons for composing your own version of an “Immortal Beloved” letter. According to my astrological analysis, it’s time for your tender passion to fully bloom. If there’s not a specific person who warrants such a message, write it to an imaginary lover.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): At age 32, artist Peter Milton realized the colors he thought he used in his paintings were different from what his viewers saw. He got his eyes tested and discovered he had color blindness. For example, what he regarded as gray with a hint of yellow, others perceived as green. Shocked, he launched an unexpected adjustment. For the next 40 years, all his paintings were black and white only. They made him famous and have been exhibited in major museums. I love how he capitalized on an
apparent disability and made it his strength. I invite you to consider a comparable move in the coming months.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Lincoln Calibration Sphere 1 is a hollow globe of aluminum launched into Earth orbit in 1965. Fifty-eight years later, it continues to circle the planet — and is still doing the job it was designed to do. It enables ground-based radar devices to perform necessary calibrations. I propose we celebrate and honor the faithfulness of this magic sphere. May it serve as an inspiring symbol for you in the coming months. More than ever before, you have the potential to do what you were made to do — and with exceptional steadiness and potency. I hope you will be a pillar of inspiring stability for those you care about.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Live as though you’re living a second time and as though the first time you lived, you did it wrong, and now you’re trying to do things right.” Holocaust survivor and author Viktor Frankl offered this advice. I wouldn’t want to adhere to such a demanding practice every day of my life. But I think it can be an especially worthwhile exercise for you in the coming weeks. You will have a substantial capacity to learn from your past; to prevent mediocre histories from repeating themselves; to escape the ruts of your habit mind and instigate fresh trends.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Jamie Zafron wrote an article titled “To Anyone Who Thinks They’re Falling Behind in Life.” She says, “Sometimes you need two more years of life experience before you can make your masterpiece into something that will feel real and true and raw. Sometimes you’re not falling in love because whatever you need to know about yourself is only knowable through solitude. Sometimes you haven’t met your next collaborator. Sometimes your sadness encircles you because, one day, it will be the opus upon which you build your life.” This is excellent advice for you in the coming months, dear Gemini. You’ll be in a phase of incubation, preparing the way for your Next Big Thing. Honor the gritty, unspectacular work you have ahead! It will pay off.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’re entering a phase when you will generate maximum luck if you favor what’s short and sweet instead of what’s long and complicated. You will attract the resources you need if you identify what they are with crisp precision and do not indulge in fuzzy indecision. The world will conspire in your favor to the degree that you avoid equivocating. So please say precisely what you mean! Be a beacon of clear, relaxed focus!

“AGE PLAYED”
BY DAN SAVAGE
I’m a single straight man in my 40s. I date women in their 20s-50s. I hooked up with a 21-year-old woman recently, which is the youngest age I’d consider dating. Except after we had sex, she told me she was actually much younger than 21. I did not break the law. I live in a state which has a surprisingly low age of consent, and she is above it, but barely. This was not about me making assumptions about her age. She explicitly told me via text that she was 21, and that was the age she listed on the dating app where we matched. She looks 21, she told me she has a job and lives on her own, and shared several stories that would only make sense if she was 21. I realize now she made some of this up. I cut off contact with her immediately.
Even though it’s not illegal, it still feels pretty bad. I honestly feel like crap. Even though what I did was not illegal, I honestly feel like maybe it should be. A lot of people would say I did something wrong by sleeping with a 21-year-old woman in the first place (or what I thought was a 21-year-old woman), or by not checking more carefully. (Should I have asked to see her ID or something?) But someone lied to me, and I had sex I would otherwise not have had, and now I feel sick about it.
I can’t eat, I’ve been drinking too much, and I just can’t shake this feeling that I’m the worst and that my life is somehow over. The whole idea of sex seems disgusting to me now. Is this as big a deal as I’m making it out to be? Is it appropriate for me to feel like something has been done to me, or am I just trying to feel like a victim? I didn’t think that there was anything wrong with dating a 21-year-old woman, and I’ve always tried to be ethical when dating women younger than me, but now I feel pretty sleazy about it.
Worries Over Recent Sexual Experience
No one who reads your letter — and no one reading my response — wants me to help you. No one want me to write something that will make you feel better, or less sleazy, because no one is rooting for you to get back on the apps. Sorry, WORSE, but people don’t have much sympathy for straight men in their 40s who claim to have accidentally fucked teenage girls. And that’s what we’re talking about, right? This girl was over the age consent in the state where you live, WORSE, but just barely; and the age of consent in the state where you live is “surprisingly low.” So, this woman — this girl — was under the age of consent in other states. Which means she was 16 or 17 years old.
Now, most people will assume — most people will reasonably assume — that you, an experienced man in his 40s, should’ve been able to figure that out before you fucked that teenager. And if you didn’t figure that out, it was because you didn’t want to figure that out until after you fucked that teenager.
But in fairness to you, and at the risk of pissing off literally every other person reading this column — please, God, tear off my fingers — there are teenagers out there who look older than they actually are. We’ve all known 16-year-olds who don’t get carded when they buy beer because they look at least five years older. Some of us were those 16-year-olds. On the flip side, we all know 21-year-olds who look like they’re 16. Some of us were those 21-year-olds.
Something else we should all know by now: Sometimes teenagers get on dating and hookup apps and lie about their ages. So, when an older person matches with someone who claims to be anywhere from 18 and 21 — whether the older person is two years older or two decades older — it’s incumbent on the older person to make sure the younger person is not a minor.
And while there isn’t a lot of sympathy for straight guys who accidentally fuck teenage girls, if things went down the way you described them, and you had sex you wouldn’t have consented to if you hadn’t been misled … then you have a right to feel violated. “Rape by deception,” obtaining someone’s consent to sex under false pretenses, is a hotly debated area of law, but cases like yours — much older men fucking teenage girls — aren’t usually cited by advocates for making “rape by deception” a crime.
Very few people are going see you as the victim, WORSE, and most people will feel that if you were deceived by anyone — and that’s going to be a big “if” for most people — you deceived yourself. But you’re not asking people to vote on whether you’re allowed to feel awful
about what you did (fucking a teenager) and/or what was done to you (being lied to by a teenager). You’re entitled to feel however you feel.
On top of those awful feelings, you’re also feeling a lingering sense of panic about how much more trouble your dick could’ve gotten you into. If you were in another state, or if this girl was a tiny bit younger, you could’ve wound up on a sex-offender registry. In the time that elapsed between finding out how young this girl actually was and googling the age of consent in the state where you live, WORSE, your life must have flashed before your eyes.
So, what do you do now? Raise the fucking floor. If you stop hooking up with women under the age of, say, 30, your odds of finding yourself in this situation again — your odds of running the risk of arrest and imprisonment again — would plummet. And if you ever wind up matching with one of those rare 30-year-old women who look like they could be 17, ask to see her I.D.
Having an affair with a married man. (I know, I know.) And while this might seem counterproductive to my position, I am trying to convince him to ask his wife to renew their efforts at marriage counseling. Not because I think it could save his marriage, it might be beyond saving, but I think he needs to make an honest effort at telling his wife what he thinks and feels and needs, and it might be a safe space for that. They tried it before, he says, and the sessions became all about her, her feelings, her needs, and I don’t think he’s really voiced most of what he’s going through with her. Instead, I become the dumping ground for all that, and while I’m happy to help him, I’m not a trained therapist. I also think he should ask his wife to open the marriage, because from what he describes, he’s not ready to leave her yet. (Financial considerations.) And marriage counseling might be a safe space to
approach the topic. How do I get him and his wife to make the effort, so I can stop being their de-facto therapist?
Mistress In Middle
You can stop being their de-facto therapist right now. You aren’t obligated to listen to your lover complain about his marriage until he starts seeing a marriage counselor with his wife again. Set a boundary: “Dumping in me is fine, dumping on me is not.”
And while you don’t mention how long this affair has been going on, MIM, I’m guessing it’s been going on for a while, seeing as you’re sick of being dumped on. (The dumping in must be pretty spectacular.) So, at this point, MIM, you’ve heard every complaint your lover has about his wife and his marriage a dozen times or more. You’ve patiently listened, you’ve lovingly consoled, you’ve fucking fucked … and now you need to tell your lover you’re done. Not done fucking him, but done listening to him complain. You’re his mistress, not his therapist, and it’s unfair of him to expect you to play both those roles.
A word of warning: You’re pushing your lover, who says he doesn’t want to end his marriage, to get back into couples counseling and say a bunch of things to his wife that can’t be unsaid and that could wind up ending their marriage. If you’re hoping to go from side piece to queen consort — consciously or subconsciously — you don’t want your fingerprints on their divorce. The other woman is always at risk of being blamed, but if your lover takes your advice and his marriage collapses as a direct result, you could wind up with the blame, not the man.
