» DeSantis signs landlord-tenant bill
Gov. Ron DeSantis last Thursday signed a bill that will lead to state law overriding local regulations involving landlords and tenants. The bill (HB 1417) was one of six measures that DeSantis signed Thursday from the 2023 legislative session, which ended May 5. In recent years, cities and counties, including in heavily populated areas such as Miami-Dade, Broward, Orange, Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, have passed ordinances — frequently described as a tenant “bill of rights” — that go beyond a state law known as the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. The ordinances deal with a variety of issues, such as notices about rent increases, notices about fees and notices about changes of ownership. But the bill will lead to the state law trumping — or “preempting” — the local ordinances.
» New state exam results released
The state Department of Education last Thursday published the first round of results from Florida’s new “progress monitoring” system of student assessments in public schools. The new tests, dubbed the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking or FAST exams, were implemented this school year. The Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis last year approved a measure that did away with the state’s previous standardized testing system.
The new system involves students taking tests three times each school year, with the final exams of the year used for state and federal accountability purposes. The results published Tuesday show that 50 percent of students in third through tenth grades scored “on-grade-level or above” on the final exams in English-language arts. In the mathematics end-of-course exams, which were administered to students in third through eighth grades, 56 percent of students scored in the “level 3” range — which represents an on-grade-level score — or higher. State Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. pointed to “significant gains” made by students under the new progress-monitoring system. “The significant gains made by our students this school year prove that progress monitoring is a success. Florida’s teachers were provided immediate feedback following each FAST administration and used that feedback to guide future instruction,” Diaz said in a statement.
» Florida jobless claims dip
Initial jobless claims in Florida declined for two consecutive weeks, according to a report released last Thursday by the U.S. Department of Labor. The report estimated 5,872 first-time unemployment applications were filed in Florida last week, down from a revised count of 6,463 during the week that ended June 17 and 6,921 during the week that ended June 10. The state has averaged 5,737 weekly claims since the start of the year. Florida had a 2.6 percent unemployment rate in May, representing an estimated 287,000 Floridians qualified as unemployed from a labor force of 10.998 million. The state will release a June unemployment report on July 21. Nationally, 239,000 initial claims were filed last week, down 26,000 from the prior week.
» Hurricane changes approved
Gov. Ron DeSantis last Wednesday signed a measure that will make a series of hurricane-related changes to state law. SB 250 will allow people to remain on their properties as they rebuild after storms, require quicker approval of building permits, and set more-exact time frames for removing destroyed boats from state waters. In addition, it will encourage local governments to adopt temporary housing plans for disaster-response workers and prohibit local governments in areas damaged by Hurricane Ian or Hurricane Nicole from imposing moratoriums on construction through Oct. 1, 2024. The bill also will shield utilities from liability for damage caused by hurricane-related power outages.
» Sides battle over free speech rights, academic autonomy
University professors and students are urging a federal appeals court to uphold a decision blocking a 2022 Florida law that would restrict the way race-related concepts can be taught in classrooms — a law that Gov. Ron DeSantis dubbed the “Stop WOKE Act.” Attorneys for two sets of plaintiffs filed briefs last Friday arguing that the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals should back a preliminary injunction that Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued in November against the law. The plaintiffs contend, in part, the law violates speech rights and academic freedom. But attorneys for the state argue that Walker’s ruling should be overturned, saying it “anoints individual professors as universities unto themselves, at liberty under the First Amendment to indoctrinate college students in whatever views they please, no matter how contrary to the
university’s curriculum or how noxious to the people of Florida.” DeSantis made a priority of the law, which lists a series of race-related concepts and says it would constitute discrimination if students are subjected to instruction that “espouses, promotes, advances, inculcates or compels” them to believe the concepts. For example, the law seeks to prohibit instruction that would cause students to “feel guilt, anguish or other forms of psychological distress because of actions, in which the person played no part, committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, national origin or sex.”
» Ex-New College trustee challenges Buchanan
A former New College of Florida trustee who left the board after being denied confirmation by the state Senate has launched a congressional campaign. Eddie Speir filed paperwork last week to enter the 2024 race in Congressional District 16 in Manatee and Sarasota counties. Speir’s candidacy sets up a Republican primary against U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan. Speir criticized the incumbent in a lengthy Twitter post as he announced his run. “I have heard Vern Buchanan is a statesman for (the) Republican Party, but he appears to be more of a statesman for the status quo. We need more,” Speir wrote. Jan Schneider, a Democrat, also is running for the seat. Gov. Ron DeSantis in January appointed Speir, a founder of a private Christian school in Bradenton, as a New College trustee. Speir was part of a slate of six trustees appointed by DeSantis to try to overhaul the small liberal-arts college in Sarasota. While the Senate last month confirmed other members of the New College board, it did not give approval to Speir. DeSantis subsequently appointed Joe Jacquot, a former general counsel to the governor, to serve as a trustee.
» DeSantis vetoes vehicle bill
Gov. Ron DeSantis last Wednesday vetoed a bill that could have made it easier for officials to choose electric cars when buying vehicles for government fleets. The bill (SB 284) would have directed officials making decisions about buying government vehicles to consider the “lowest lifetime ownership costs,” including costs for fuel and maintenance. Also, the measure, which was approved 115-1 in the House and 38-0 in the House, would have directed the Department of Management Services to make recommendations to state agencies about buying electric vehicles, natural gas-fueled vehicles and other types of vehicles powered by renewable energy. DeSantis did not detail a reason for the veto.

NEWCOMERS GUIDE 2023: YOUR KEYS TO THE CITY
Welcome to Orlando! You certainly picked a wild time to move to Florida! (We said this last year, and it has only gotten more true.)
If you’re moving here, you already know about the theme parks — they might even be the reason you’re here — so we tried to keep the focus on Orlando’s deep culture, the places off the beaten path, the knowledge that will help you level up your game.
To that end, we’ve assembled a beginner’s guide to living in the City Beautiful — where to go on a date, what to do during hurricane season, where to find sand and surf, what annual events you absolutely cannot miss and how to pronounce all those weird place names that will soon seem exceedingly normal.
We hope you find value in these tip-filled pages, stick some on your fridge or in your glove box, and, for that matter, stick around and become a faithful Orlando Weekly fan. Happy reading!

NEW COM ERS DEEP CULTURE
Level up, level up
While well-known (sometimes too much so) for theme parks and related diversions, Orlando offers up a constellation of its own unique sights and experiences. If you are indeed new to the city, venture outside the touristy destinations and well-known landmarks to try out some local deep-cuts. There’s a lot of exploring to be done in Orlando, indoors and out.
Tosohatchee Wildlife Management Area
myfwc.com
Tosohatchee Wildlife Management Area (photo above) may be off the beaten path, but its many trails offer a rare solitude typically encountered only in apocalyptic science fiction and doomsday movies. Once within, enjoy hiking the rugged Florida landscapes — quaint ponds, open fields of wildflowers and canopies of hanging moss — populated in the early morning hours by wild turkeys, boar, deer and more birds than Audubon Park documents on its street signs. Butterflies flock here, too; the Palamedes Swallowtail, Gulf Fritillary, Silver-spotted Skipper and Northern Cloudywing are just some of the species commonly seen in summer.
Dickson Azalea Park
orlando.gov
Hidden in plain sight, just off East Robinson Street and North Ferncreek Avenue, Dickson Azalea Park is one of our city’s best-kept secrets. It boasts lots of pretty, blossom-covered trees and longleaf pines. while WPA-era bridges, pavilions and walkways crawl around and over the stream that trickles through the leafy little park. Along with neighboring Langford Park, Dickson Azalea provides a shady oasis just outside of downtown.
Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall facebook.com/unclelous
There is nowhere else like Uncle Lou’s in the City Beautiful — or, we’d wager, Florida at large — a close-quarters, gritty staging area for DIY
music both local and national, where (almost) anything goes. Uncle Lou’s has served as an incubator and proving ground for the Central Florida underground for over a decade. The frills are few and far between in the stripped-down space, but Lou’s is a crucial part of a Mills 50 that is changing in fast-forward all around it.
Wells’ Built Museum wellsbuilt.org
In the 1920s, the former hotel and casino in Parramore built by Dr. William Wells hosted entertainers on the Chitlin’ Circuit — people like Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles and Jackie Robinson. Today, it houses a treasure trove of artifacts and memorabilia of Orlando’s African American community’s history and culture. It’s a testament to change, slow as it sometimes can be.
Renaissance Theatre Co. rentheatre.com
The Renaissance Theatre Co. has transformed the Orlando Ballet’s former rehearsal hall near Loch Haven Park into one of the area’s most active and exciting new entertainment venues. In addition to presenting plays and musicals like Lenox Ave and From Here, “The Ren” also hosts immersive undertakings like Nosferatu and 54, weekly cabarets and Off the Record drag shows, and also serves as an official venue during the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival.
Skycraft skycraftsurplus.com
Skycraft Parts & Surplus, the iconic store that long livened up Winter Park’s skyline with rockets and a flying saucer, may have moved to a newer, bigger, less quirky location on Edgewater Drive, but don’t you worry, their anarchic inventory made the move with them. You’ll find all manner of electronic parts, electrical supplies, hardware, wires and cables, and the people who love them, in the crowded aisles within.
Orlando Zine Fest facebook.com/orlandozinefest
The Orlando Zine Fest is an annual outdoors showcase of local print-tastic creativity happening in December in the Milk District, stylishly after dark. Writers, artists, photographers and compilers from around the region bring fanzines, chapbooks, art books and all manner of independent press works. Last year’s event featured nearly 40 tablers, ranging from SR50 Magazine to No, Nothing to the artist behind the Center for Post-Capitalist History. It’s a great destination for last-minute, local-centric holiday shopping. Print lives in Orlando!
Timucua Arts Foundation
timucua.com
House venues, as a rule, generally don’t last that long. The ecstatic creative highs often end up outweighed by the organizational, logistical and financial lows. But the Timucua Arts Foundation isn’t just any house, not by a long shot. Timucua, headquartered since 2007 in a custom-built residence-cum-grassroots performance space nestled among suburban homes on a quiet SoDo street, presents adventurous music across genre, spoken word, theater productions and everything in between. What other room could hold Lydia Lunch, a night celebrating queer Latine music and an immersive A Streetcar Named Desire with equal aplomb?
Harry P. Leu Gardens leugardens.org
Three miles of paved paths wind through gorgeous botanical displays, including the largest formal rose garden in Florida, a bamboo forest and a butterfly garden. You can also visit the historic on-site house museum. Recently Leu Gardens has also become the staging ground for Creative City Project’s extravagantly staged holiday walk-through experiences, including the Christmas-adjacent Dazzling Nights and the new Halloween-themed Haunting Nights.

10 annual events that you can’t miss
As you’re surely figuring out, there’s plenty to do in Orlando all year ’round, and these have nothing to do with the theme parks. There are arts, sports, cultural festivals, conventions, food and drink events, LGBTQ+ gatherings and sundry other diversions to fit all tastes and fancies. Here’s a rundown of annual events that need to be on your calendar.
Come Out With Pride
comeoutwithpride.com
We know, most of the world does Pride in June. But our favorite downtown parade and party celebrates Orlando’s LGBTQ community in October, a month when it’s not too blazingly hot to be outside. The party keeps going for a long weekend with a huge slate of in-person events, observances, celebrations, a big shindig in Lake Eola, brunches, pre- and after-parties and — yes — the blockbuster parade through downtown Orlando, complete with celebrity grand marshals.
Electric Daisy Carnival
orlando.electricdaisycarnival.com
The premier EDM festival makes a stop at historic Tinker Field every fall to showcase the best in contemporary dance music, otherworldly scenery and psychedelic lightshows. Few festivals around these parts are as immersive as EDC, which boasts multiple themed stages and environments. At this three-day weekender, the eclectic and fantastically attired attendees often overshadow the performers, so if you’re planning to attend you’d better be fabulous.
Florida Film Festival
floridafilmfestival.com
Whether you’re a fan of dramas, comedies, documentaries or shorts, the Florida Film Festival has it all. For over 30 years, this fest has celebrated adventurous cinematic fare from around the world. Headquartered at the Enzian Theater, the fest also takes over nearby screens in a Winter Park multiplex for nearly two weeks of films on all subjects,
special guests, premieres, panel discussions and glitzy parties. And don’t miss the shorts — 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.
Grandma Party Bazaar instagram.com/grandma_party
Handmade crafts from local artisans and live music from local bands make this our favorite quirky stop for last-minute holiday shopping every December. Here you’ll see the work of many of our best artists and artisans, along with bands and DJs, all fortified by Stardust’s food and drinks. Witches, drunks, kids and dogs are all welcome.
Halloween Horror Nights halloweenhorrornights.com
The big daddy fright fest of them all, courtesy of Universal Studios. No matter what they’re cooking up, it will scare the crap out of you. The annual late-night spooktacular — now over 30 years in — offers attendees multiple haunted houses themed on hot scary-movie properties, scare zones and live variety shows.
MegaCon fanexpohq.com/megaconorlando
Central Florida’s largest comic and media convention brings in big names from the worlds of television, film, comics, anime, cosplay and more for a gigantic and colorful celebration of pop culture. Taking over an appreciable chunk of the Convention Center and cramming it full of celebrities, merchandise, cosplay warriors, signings and panel discussions, this is event offers a little something for every fannish taste.
Orlando Beer Festival
orlandobeerfestival.com
Orlando’s only large-scale legitimate craft beer festival attracts brewers and guests from all over Florida. Boasting more than 200 different beverages
for tasting, from refreshingly hazy IPAs to malty lagers and crisp craft pilsners, this fest brings both quality and quantity. The fest also features plenty of local eats, live local music and a Game Zone with — what else? — beer pong.
Orlando Fringe
orlandofringe.org
Thespians from all over the world descend on the theater complex at Loch Haven for two weeks of performances featuring more than 100 shows and hundreds of local, North American and international performers coming together in Central Florida’s biggest annual cultural convergence. Fringe takes over stages at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center, the Orlando Museum of Art and the Orlando Family Stage (plus a few farther-flung locales), hosts an outdoor stage with a busy nightly schedule of local musicians, comedians, dancers and more, and runs a mingle-friendly lawn full of food and drink vendors.
Sanford Porchfest sanfordporchfest.org
A free music festival that takes place on the fourth Saturday of February every year, taking over various residential porches in the downtown area. Rather than stages and festival grounds, this family-friendly daytime extravaganza books over 70 acts and sets them on 17 porches in a walkable grid of Sanford’s idyllic historic residential district.
Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival wpsaf.org
Browse through booths from tons of artists and vendors at one of the country’s oldest, largest and most prestigious juried art festivals. Going strong for over 60 years, this fest is three full days packed with over 200 artists, plenty of works from local students (awww) and hundreds of thousands of art fanatics taking it all in — sprawled all over the bucolic environs of Winter Park along Morse Boulevard.

The best & worst decisions you can make in Orlando’s theme parks
Orlando (and the rest of the world) is full of opinions about its theme parks and attractions. Between Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Epcot, SeaWorld and all the rest, it’s not hard to fall victim to the classic tourist mistakes — we’ve all made ’em once or twice. If you’re new here, you’ll definitely need some tips; and if you’re a local, you might learn something new. Here are the best — and worst — decisions you can make when visiting Orlando’s theme parks:
BEST: Planning your visits during off-peak times of the year
Don’t crowd in with all the tourists; you deserve better than that! Crowds can be crazy during July, spring break and Christmas, but late August and September are ideal for enjoying the theme parks with more elbow room.
WORST: Buying your tickets at the gate Disney still demands advance purchase of date-specific passes, and all parks offer web-only discounts. Get your admission online beforehand to save yourself time, money and mental exhaustion.
BEST: Arriving before rope drop
Theme park queues build quickly, and you can often accomplish more in the first operating hour than in the next three. Take advantage of early entry (if you’re eligible) and be at the gates at least 30 minutes before they open, so you can be first in line for your favorite attraction.
WORST: Arriving at the park not yet caffeinated
All the major parks have on-site Starbucks locations, but you’ll be stuck standing in a long line waiting for coffee, just when you should be standing in line for a coaster.
BEST: Asking for a special occasion button Anniversary, birthday, first time at the park? There’s a free button for that! Ask for one at guest services or big gift shops in Disney and the other resorts, and you’ll receive anything from warm wishes to complimentary treats.
WORST: Obstructing other guests to get the perfect photo
Snap a pic and get on with your day. Your Instagram followers have most definitely seen Cinderella’s Castle before.
BEST: Staying hydrated
Somehow, theme parks are impenetrable by cool breezes. Don’t let the heat get the best of you; make sure you’re drinking water, which is available free at any theme park restaurant. Ask about Universal’s refillable cups for bottomless flavored water or sports drinks.
WORST: Drinking around the Worlds
Whether you’re sampling the Wizarding World’s exclusive beers while wearing Hogwarts robes, or taking advantage of SeaWorld’s summer free beer offer, exercise caution while imbibing in the parks. And at EPCOT, always start easy in Canada and end in Mexico.
BEST: Taking advantage of single-rider lines everywhere
Leave your group behind and get to the rides faster. You’re not going to talk much while you’re riding, anyway!
WORST: Trying to Ride Tron Lightcycle/Run or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind without a Virtual Boarding Group or Lightning Lane
Disney’s two newest roller coasters don’t offer traditional standby queues, so start tapping — and be persistent — on Disney World’s app at 7 a.m. for a required reservation if you want to ride these attractions.
BEST: Leaving the park midday for a nap
If you arrived for park opening, you’ll need to conserve some energy to make it to the closing fireworks show. If you live near the park, or are staycationing at an on-site hotel, head back to bed for some shuteye and hydration during the hottest part of the afternoon.
WORST: Forgetting to take a photo of your parking spot
Looking for your lost car in a lot the size of Delaware is not the way you want to come back to reality after a day of magic.

DATES
THE CITY ROMANTIC
Do date night right in Orlando, whoever you are. If you’re new to town, it’s hard to know how to plan out the ideal agenda for maximum (or minimum?) hookup potential. Our editors put together three very different dates, for three very different (hypothetical) couples.
Date No. 1: Caffeinate … somewhere
We love a daytime date, but if you’re in it for a long haul, you’ll need to stay peppy. Orlando absolutely abounds in excellent coffee houses — Deeply and Craft & Common downtown; Lineage in Mills 50 and Audubon Park; New General and Kos in Winter Park; Easy Luck in the Milk District — so your choice may depend on what’s the most convenient to your respective starting points. For the purposes of this guide let’s pick Framework Craft Coffee House for its proximity to our next stop. Framework (1201 N. Mills Ave.) offers creative coffee drinks like smoked Thai tea, macadamia matcha latte and the “baklavatte,” a latte with honey and a toothpicked baklava garnish.
Look at cool stuff at Orlando Museum of Art
Orlando’s flagship art museum is the Orlando Museum of Art (2416 N. Mills Ave.), and if it’s summer, then OMA’s Florida Prize in Contemporary Art exhibition is up. This annual show brings together the best and brightest of Florida artists working today, and takes over the museum’s galleries with a trove of exciting and challenging work. If this is a first (or early-on) date, reactions to/comments on art are always a great way to learn about someone new.
Eat something at the Strand
Now it’s time to have a bite to eat, a glass of wine, and a deeper dissection of what you just saw. Or go for it and grab the third rail: Bring up the nitty-gritty stuff like politics, religion, and dairy versus oat milk. Staying in the Mills 50 corridor, the Strand (807 N. Mills Ave.) is the most romantic choice
you can make for a dinner à deux, with flattering lighting and a small, seasonal menu. The chocolate olive-oil cake is a perennial favorite, and perfect for splitting.
Quick nightcap, or keep it going?
Now you have a decision on your hands. The predictable choice would be to grab a cocktail at one of the several nearby bars — Wally’s, Zymarium, Guesthouse etc. — and you wouldn’t go wrong imbibing at any of those establishments. But if you feel a spark and don’t want the day to end, a trip to the Enzian Theater (1300 Orlando Ave., Maitland), our only arthouse cinema, makes for a magical capper to a magical day. The building surrounded by oaks dripping Spanish moss is charming, and the cuddle-friendly seating indoors has led to many, many relationships launched on these quaint Maitland grounds.
Date No. 2:
Start the evening at Light on the Sugar Bakery
Take a break from Starbucks at this French/ Asian fusion bakery and café. There are two locations, and the Winter Park one (4270 Aloma Ave.) is open until 8 p.m. It’ll be a delightful dilemma to choose just one among the exquisite selection of treats: Will it be the fluffy matcha croissant, the velvety ube macaron, or perhaps the rich and nutty black sesame éclair? You and your partner can opt to enjoy your treats in the cozy ambience of the bakery or take them to go, as our next location welcomes drinks and snacks.
Get creative at All Fired Up
Ignite your creativity and spark a romance at
this cute, funky pottery painting spot. With over 200 clay pieces to choose from, you and your partner can channel your inner artist. Whether you opt for solo masterpieces or combine your artistic forces, it’s a fun chance to create something unique together and test out your teamwork skills.
Fuel up at the Park Avenue Tavern
If you’re hungry from all your creative work, grab a bite to eat at the newly opened Park Avenue Tavern (558 W. New England Ave., Winter Park). The NYC-influenced decor brings a more serious vibe to the table, allowing the perfect space to get into those necessary deep conversations. Clubby though it is, the restaurant retains a lighthearted feel that doesn’t fully weigh down the mood with its comfortable booth seating, natural lighting, and live music.
End the night at the Axe Trap
If things are going well and you don’t want the night to end just yet, roll on over to the Axe Trap (2600 Lee Road). At Winter Park’s first-ever axe-throwing venue, enjoy signature cocktails, a bite to eat or a well-brewed coffee in a circa-1920s industrial warehouse. It’s the perfect blend of caffeine and adrenaline, ensuring a date that’s sharp, stimulating and hits the bull’s-eye.
Date No. 3:
Meet at Stardust Video & Coffee
Rendezvous at this Audubon Park staple (1842 E. Winter Park Road) to grab a drink and work through all the getting-to-know-you chitchat jitters. The bartenders serve up all the spirited staples, and most nights you’ll also find a menu of specialty cocktails. There’s a lot of disaffected cool
in the air here, but what do you want, the robotic politeness of Chick-Fil-A? (Watch your date react!)
Grab a bite at Bikkuri
Yes, there’s Tori Tori right down the road, but this second-floor sushi destination (1919 E. Colonial Drive, upstairs) is great for the dating dynamic. Slide into a booth and order some rolls or sashimi to split — or a boat if you’re trying to really razzle-dazzle — and sip some tea, Kirin or a cocktail while negotiating the next stop at …
Catch a gig
By this point you’re both weary of small talk but would rather die than talk about politics/religion, so why not go catch some live music? Do you go to Uncle Lou’s? Will’s Pub? Timucua? Conduit? The Abbey? Do you stick to local bands or catch a touring act? Do you head for the front and park yourself in front of the stage or linger in the back? It’s a cornucopia of Rorschach tests! Inspired by some audio artistry or ready to roast the no-hopers you just witnessed, keep this party rolling …
End the night with a drink — but where?
You’re now caught in the date-night version of Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” You could pop into Lil Indie’s or Sunroom and grab a very specialty beverage to sip with your companion while people-watching, or you could storm into Whiskey Lou’s or St. Matthew’s or Caboose. Do you still tolerate each other? Are you attempting to prolong the evening, or ditch this loser? These are decisions that you must make soon, as last call approacheth. Choose wisely. We’ve got faith in you, tiger.

Moving in
We won’t lie; finding housing in Orlando is a challenge. If you’re hoping to buy, here’s what you need to know now about the real estate market.
Home sales in the Orlando area continue to climb, with 3,150 houses sold in May 2023, up from 2,766 the previous month.
Costs are also up — median home prices have increased every month this year, and the interest rate is 25.4% higher than it was in May 2022 — and houses fly off the shelf, so to speak, averaging less than a month on the market in some areas.
Here’s a partial snapshot of the current market from ORRA, the Orlando Regional Realtor Association (orlandorealtors.org).

SAY IT LIKE A NATIVE
Moving to a new place is equal parts exciting and unsettling — and one of the most nerve-wracking parts can be the first time you try to say a weird place name out loud in front of other people. Here’s a cheat sheet to some of the local streets, cities, parks and springs that might give you pause.
Altamonte Springs: Newcomers often pronounce the first part with four syllables and a long E at the end, but it’s just “ALL-tuh-mont.”
Apalachicola: A quaint little Gulf Coast getaway known for its oysters, though harvests are paused right now. “APP-uh-LATCH-i-cola.”
DeSantis: Our beloved governor. Is it “Dee-Santis” or “Duh-Santis”? Neither! It’s pronounced “ASS-hole.”
Hiawassee: One of those big roads whose name you’ll hear often in traffic reports, and if the reporter is new to town, they’re bound to stumble on it. It’s “HIGH-uh-WAH-see.”
Kissimmee: Just a short jaunt down I-4, this city went from cow town to theme park central when Disney hit the scene. That tourist significance and the presence of “kiss” in the spelling makes it the most-often mispronounced in the area, but sorry, there’s no kissing in Kissimmee. Say “Kih-SIM-ee” and you’ve got it.
Micanopy: A leafy, sleepy hamlet with plenty of antique shops outside Gainesville, also
home to the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings historic homestead. Don’t get confused by the “canopy” in there; it’s “MIK-uh-NOPE-ee.”
Narcoossee: Unincorporated community in east Osceola County and another road whose name you’ll hear mispronounced often in traffic reports: “Nar-KOO-see.”
Osceola: The county next door to Orange contains Kissimmee and many touristy diversions. No long O, no hard C — it’s “Ah-see-OH-lah.”
Oviedo: A nearby city just east of Orlando. Unlike the city in Spain, it’s got three syllables, not four, and no long A sound: “Oh-VEE-doh” (as in Homer Simpson).
Semoran: A major north-south thoroughfare, part of State Road 436, pronounced “SEH-more-on.” Unlike most of the names on this list, not a Native American name but rather a portmanteau: It goes through both SEMinole and ORANge counties.
Wekiwa: You’ll see this spelled both Wekiva and Wekiwa in the names of cities, parks, and springs. The reason for that has to do with the maps being made around the time the white man was stealing the land from the Native Americans, but we’re not here to get bogged down in history. Research suggests it’s properly said with the W, but very few of them are around to correct the 99 percent of locals who pronounce it with a V sound: “Weh-KY-vuh.”
Bonus points: Although the middle word in New Smyrna Beach is properly pronounced “SMIR-nuh,” locals persist in Southernizing it to “Suh-MIR-nuh.” Adopt this mispronunciation and no one will know you haven’t been partying at NSB for years.

HURRICANES S 20 23
STORMY WEATHER
So, you’ve just moved to Orlando and found out that hurricane season lasts an appreciable portion of the year: June 1-Nov. 30. You’ve probably noticed already that there are thunderstorms almost daily, and June was just the beginning.
Warmer waters fuel more energetic storms, so the super-hot Florida summer is prime time for big tropical storms. From mid-August through late October, there is a higher chance of a hurricane actually making landfall in Florida (the official peak of the season is Sept. 10).
Last year Florida saw two major hurricanes, Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole. In late September, Ian made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane. Ian was responsible for at least $50 billion in damage and over 150 recorded deaths. Just a month later, Hurricane Nicole made landfall, and became the latest mainland U.S. hurricane to do so since 1985. Thankfully, Nicole was much weaker than Ian, but still caused $1 billion in damage and five direct fatalities.
NOAA has forecast that 2023’s six-month hurricane season will have 12 to 17 named storms, with winds of 39 mph or higher. That total is forecast to include five to nine storms topping 74 mph, designated as hurricanes. One to four of the hurricanes are predicted to be Category 3 or higher, with sustained winds of at least 111 mph.
If you’re new to town, storm-related terminology can be confusing (“cone of uncertainty,” whaaa?). The disconnect between the hysteria on TV news meteorologist reports and the casual way your neighbors, landlord, and other locals seem to take it can be just as confusing. Here are the phrases you need to know and the basic steps you need to take.
Let’s go over a few:
· ACE is an acronym for Accumulated Cyclone Energy. This measures the combined duration and strength of tropical cyclones.
· The “cone of uncertainty,” or the error cone, is a cone-shaped graphical representation of the possible track of the tropical storm. The wider the cone, the more uncertain the track of the storm.
· “Spaghetti models” show where a tropical system may go. If the lines are clustered together, the higher the chance of an accurate forecast. When the lines spread apart, this indicates uncertainty in the forecast.
· A tropical depression is a cyclone with maximum winds of less than 39 mph.
· A tropical storm is a storm with maximum wind speeds of 39-73 mph.
· Hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are expected withing 36 hours; a hurricane watch means those conditions may possibly form. (A warning is more serious.)
· Hurricanes come in five categories: Category 1 is dangerous, with wind speeds at 74-95 mph; Category 2 is extremely dangerous and can cause extensive damage with wind speeds at 96-110 mph; Category 3 can cause devastating damage with 111-129 mph wind speed; Category 4 can very well be catastrophic in damage with the wind at 130-156 mph; and Category 5 is horrific with 157 and higher wind speeds.
· The eye is the center of the storm, the relatively calm air in the center. Don’t be fooled into thinking the storm is over.
· Feeder bands are the lines of the thunderstorm and often appear to spiral into the center. In a hurricane, you’ll experience alternating heavier and lighter rain and wind as the bands pass over.
· A storm surge is when the sea level rises because of the hurricane. A majority of injuries and deaths are associated with this factor.
It’s important to be prepared for storms. Pay attention to the news to monitor the track of the storm and if evacuation is needed. Develop a plan to know where to go and how to get there. In Orange County, there are two general population shelters: South Econ Community Park and West Orange Recreation Center. Both places are pet-friendly.
Start to stock up on disaster supplies at the beginning of each summer. Grab enough nonperishable food, water and medicine to last for a minimum of three days. Be prepared for an even longer period of time, as electricity and water could be out for weeks. Have cash on hand, as well as batteries and flashlights, candles and matches. The possibility of being injured in a hurricane is always there, so having a first-aid kit on hand is a must.
Keep copies of important documents in plastic to prevent water damage. Sandbags are often free from local government entities, and will prevent water from leaking under doors.
Don’t be caught off-guard — any category of hurricane should be taken seriously, and anything can happen, particularly as climate change upends longstanding weather expectations. Stay safe!

ROAD TRIPS S 20 23
DRIVE-IN HISTORY: Cassadaga road trip
Cassadaga — the oldest and most active community of psychics and spirit mediums in the United States — was founded in 1875 by George Colby, himself a medium, and has endured and thrived in the years since. Dubbed the “Psychic Capital of the World,” Cassadaga these days is still a can’t-miss destination for the psychically sensitive or curious traveler who wants to see a very different side of Central Florida’s living history. Cassadaga is not a tourist destination, per se. The community is quiet and compact — lightyears away from the sprawl of, say, International Drive — and the residents, though eager to ply their psychic trades, do not make spectacles of themselves. But there’s no shortage of interesting shopping, scenic walks or opportunities for varying types of readings and predictions — including tarot and oracle card readings, aura readings, astrological readings and psychic healers.
Start your journey into the unknown at the Cassadaga Camp Bookstore (1112 Stevens St.), a one-stop shop for crystals, candles, new age music, esoteric tomes, jewelry and, crucially, a good amount of self-published pamphlets, tracts and books that go into the history and philosophies that underlie this town. You can also pick up a house phone in the building and reserve appointments with nearby psychics, and check out bulletin-board postings from local mediums. Aside from the bookstore, another recommended shopping spot is the Cassadaga Psychic Shop (460 Cassadaga Road), which, in addition to a large selection of crystals, herbs, smudges and charms, also offers in-house psychic readings and aura photography.
Grab a free map in one of the shops and go for a wander; it’s going to yield unexpected delights, like the Fairy Garden, a fascinating mix of folk-art assemblages and sincere tokens to sprites all orbiting around the Fairy Throne, a charming and very oversized chair. Other local landmarks include the Eloise Page Meditation Garden, Harmony Hall and the Colby Memorial
Temple. Your trip’s not complete until you perch in the Devil’s Chair, so take a leisurely stroll over to the Lake Helen Cemetery — also the final resting place of many of the original residents — and sit a spell in the frankly sinister stone throne.
For something a little more bucolic, ColbyAlderman Park (1099 Massachusetts St.) offers meditative natural quiet. Note that guided historical walking tours — or “Spirit Encounter Night Tours,” if you’re made of braver stuff — also happen daily for those interested in more context and colorful yarns. Since most mediums and psychics in the area operate out of their homes, the lawn decor and paint jobs of many of the buildings are pretty quirky and amazing. So there’s really no such thing as a wrong turn.
If, at the end of a long day of discovering
SOUNDS OF THE CITY
truths about your inner essence and receiving messages from deceased loved ones, you’re hungry (or you decide that one day in Cassadaga just isn’t enough), hie thee to the Cassadaga Hotel (355 Cassadaga Road). A beautiful old lodgestyle building that merges Twin Peaks with the old South, the building is notable for its elegant decor, and it’s the only restaurant — also a piano bar! — in the area: Sinatra’s. (It’s apparently haunted … of course.) Somewhat at odds with the usually ethereal thematics of Cassadaga, the restaurant has a certain hearty charm augmented by a full bar and a surprisingly large menu. As you either head back home or press on to DeLand in search of further amusement, it doesn’t take a psychic to see that this won’t be your last trip to Cassadaga.

COUCHSURFING
BY STEVE SCHNEIDER
(NOTE: All premiere dates remain subject to change as the writers’ strike continues. Remember when all we had to worry about was George R.R. Martin being a drag-ass?)
Premieres Wednesday:
Back to 15 — In Season 2, Anita returns to her correct place in time as a 30-year-old, only to discover that her trip into the past has messed up her future catastrophically. Come on, like she couldn’t have learned that was a bad idea just by talking to Ezra Miller. Or better yet, Ezra Miller’s agent. (Netflix)
CMA Fest: 50 Years of Fan Fair — Interviews with the likes of Dolly Parton, Vince Gill and Trisha Yearwood trace the history of the humble gathering that became country music’s biggest statement of collective purpose. Well, except for that one year they lost a lot of business to Dave Chappelle’s block party. (Hulu)
Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire — Science fiction, fantasy and technology are the focus of 10 animated shorts by up-and-coming
directors from across the African continent. Disney honchos are saying the project was spurred by the Afrofuturism aesthetic they believe was popularized by their own Black Panther. Then again, they also think “George Clinton” was the handyman on Living Single. (Disney+)
Shadow Detective — In Season 2, we’ll learn if embattled Detective Taek-rok is able to save the life of the young colleague who was blackmailing him, and also who might be taking over that campaign of harassment from now on. I dunno, man: When you’ve had two mortal enemies in as many seasons, I’m starting to think it might be a you problem. (Hulu)
Wham! — Scrapbooks kept by Andrew Ridgeley’s mother are the framing device of a documentary that chronicles his and George Michael’s four-year career as a hit-making team. Funny to think that they only lasted as long as the Confederacy. I expect the memes to be savage, if not quite philosophically coherent. (Netflix)
Premieres Thursday:
Gold Brick — The French show us their idea of sticking it to le homme with a heist comedy about a factory worker who tries to get ahead by stealing high-end perfumes on the job. Hey, if I remember right, that’s how Pepé Le Pew almost beat a molestation rap. (Netflix)
Heart to Heart Season 3 and Kevin Hart: Reality Check — To mark his 44th birthday, Hart drops the new season of his talk show (with guests including Will Ferrell, Dwayne Johnson and Will Smith) and a stand-up special recorded in Vegas, in which he tackles subjects like his feelings about Black Twitter. If he really wants us to sit up and take notice, he could tell us his feelings about black metal, but I guess he has to save something for his 45th. (Peacock)
The Lincoln Lawyer — In the first five episodes of Season 2, attorney Mickey Haller is enjoying the spoils of his newfound success in the legal profession, including having his pick of the very best clients. But pitfalls await. For example, for every great client you land, there’s some deadbeat who wants you to defend him on an espionage rap. (Netflix)
Shaun White: The Last Run — A four-episode docuseries recounts the achievements of the Olympic great in the fields of snowboarding and skateboarding. The narrative isn’t purely linear, bouncing back and forth between the present and key junctures in White’s life and career. Either that, or Warner Bros. Discovery has decided it’s gonna make you watch Tenet one way or another. (Max)
Premieres Friday:
Fatal Seduction — The Mexican telenovela Dark Desires was the template for this South African series that chronicles the fallout of a married professor’s indiscretions. Over 100 years later, we have finally achieved Woodrow Wilson’s goal of every nation having its own equivalent of a Cinemax movie from 1986. (Netflix)
Hack My Home — Three expert renovators show space-challenged homeowners how to make the most of their limited living area. Suggestions range from wild ideas like a bed that descends from the ceiling to simpler solutions, like eliminating one family member per year in a Shirley Jackson–inspired stoning. (Netflix)
The Horror of Dolores Roach — Blumhouse adapts the podcast of the same name into an eight-episode series, keeping the conceit of a Washington Heights masseuse and ex-con who takes drastic steps to remain solvent. It’s a story of cannibalism, empanadas and weed, yet unlike everything else that fits that description, it isn’t available on DoorDash. (Prime Video)
Los Iniciados — Prime Video has clarified that this thriller flick set in a water-deprived future is based on characters and concepts created by Colombian mystery writer Mario Mendoza, but not his actual writings per se. That seems like the kind of disclaimer that would have spared Alan Moore a lot of heartache. (OK, you’re right, probably not.) (Prime Video)
The Out-Laws — Adam Devine plays a bank manager who starts to suspect that his future in-laws (Ellen Barkin and Pierce Brosnan) are the crooks who just knocked over his bank. If I were him, I’d be upgrading my registry from Walmart to the Super Walmart. (Netflix)
Premieres Saturday:
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 2 — New episodes present fresh developments in the last stand of anime hero Ichigo Kurosaki, who goes by the title of Substitute Soul Reaper. It’s a tough job, sure, but the good thing about being a substitute is they only ask for a GED before they let you reap. (Hulu)
Premieres Sunday:
Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead — This anime comedy shows a corporate drone going on a journey of emancipation when a zombie apocalypse inspires him to quit his job and check off every item on his bucket list. Item No. 1: Do a lot of stuff that entails staying out of shopping malls. (Hulu)
Premieres Monday:
Storybots: Answer Time — The cartoon bots are back to answer any question your kids might have in Season 2. Bet you feel silly for having explained gender identity to your 5-year-old, when there was a talking trashcan that was perfectly willing to do it. (Netflix)
Unknown: Killer Robots — Episode 2 of the science-minded docuseries asks if artificial intelligence will be a boon to the military, or if it will lead to catastrophic, unforced errors. Oh, hooray: We can apparently still get worked up about widespread loss of life if it’s unintentional. (Netflix)
Premieres Tuesday:
The Ashley Madison Project — Fun fact: I used to date somebody who had once found a married boyfriend on AshleyMadison.com and made a tidy sum by blackmailing him. I doubt anything in this documentary will be that scandalous; it’ll probably just be the standard litany of lives ruined via boring, ordinary data breaches. As soon as the writers’ strike is over, the streaming services need to come to me for better material. (I’ve dated a lot, fellas!) (Hulu)
Myth of the Zodiac Killer — A two-episode documentary seeks to prove that the so-called Zodiac Killer didn’t really exist. So technically, it doesn’t count as a “true crime” show, does it? Huh? HUH? (Peacock)

Beanies
isn’t
Befitting both their scene backgrounds, the debut of Soy Is Real and Knaladeus as Beanies & Snapbacks is a stylish study in hip-hop tradition. Across 11 tracks, their brand-new self-titled album is stroked in classic true-school hues. The seasoned production of Soy Is Real renders the atmosphere in velvety soul vibes that pop with crisp boom-bap definition. Led by Knaladeus with occasional guest MCs (Javy XI, J. Solo, C4 Crotona, YP aka Young Paul and even Soy himself), the verses roll out in tight, locked-in rap exchanges.
Beanies & Snapbacks concludes on a bittersweet but intensely personal note with album closer “Just For You (For Chris),” a tribute to late Orlando MC Christopher “Crescendo” Mercado, a mutual friend who first connected Knaladeus and Soy Is Real in 2008.
LOCAL RELEASES
Beanies & Snapbacks may sound like a streetwear store specializing in headgear, but it’s actually a new project by Orlando hip-hop veterans Soy Is Real and Knaladeus. While both producer-rappers are individually known here in the O-Zone and are longtime friends who’ve collaborated for 15 years, only now are they emerging with this fresh joint dedicated to their creative union.
More than just the sum of two Orlando hiphop talents, Beanies & Snapbacks is an alliance that yields exponential results in a debut album that’s a work of skill, love and respect. Beanies & Snapbacks now streams everywhere.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Inspired By: Hannah Stokes, Syoma Klochko, Patrick Moreno, Tuesday Villane: The monthly Hannah Stokes-helmed “Inspired By” series at Uncle Lou’s has been a fresh revolving affair
showcasing local talent via their influences. This edition is especially noteworthy because of both the artists and their inspirations. Jazz force Syoma Klochko will channel the almighty Sun Ra, vibraphonist Tuesday Villane will interpret Father John Misty, and host Stokes and keyboardist Patrick Moreno will revive Appalachian folk songs.
In addition to their personally curated covers, the artists will also perform their own original material. It’s a perfect opportunity to discover your new favorite local artist through the lens of your old favorite songs. (9 p.m. Thursday, July 6, Uncle Lou’s, $5)
Teen Suicide: Teen Suicide is a tough band to keep up with. First, the Baltimore-born act has changed names multiple times since their 2009 inception, subsequently going by American Pleasure Club, Julia Brown, Starry Cat and The Hot Sloppy Joe Boys, among others. Moreover, their stylistically itinerant music — which ranges wildly from plaintive indie pop to electro-noise freakouts and beyond — seems powered primarily by the unconventional whims of bandleader Sam Ray.
Well, now they’re back as Teen Suicide and are reconstituted as a proper full band, this time with notable local roots. Synth player (and Sam’s wife) Kitty Ray is from the area, but Teen Suicide’s new lineup is now Orlando strong with Beth McKee’s trusty guitarist Grant Peyton and the rhythm section of Daisy-Chain members Nathan Munizzi (drums) and Sean LaBree (bass).
When they performed here in 2018 as American Pleasure Club, they were heady and impressive. Between their mighty resurrection as Teen Suicide and their new hometown spirit, this return should be historic. (6 p.m. Friday, July 7, The Social, $20)
Bryan Raymond album release shows: Bryan Raymond’s journey from accomplished metal ensemble player to dark-folk soloist simultaneously expands and circles back to his heavy past with the fresh release of latest EP Forward. As signaled in singles “Voices” and “Laugh or Cry,” the longtime lone wolf has recently been bringing in old, credentialed friends to flesh out his soul-baring sound.
The result is that about half of the new EP features full-band arrangements, the most dramatic aspect being backup vocals by accomplished metal rager Scott Angelacos (Junior Bruce, Bloodlet, Hollow Leg).
To celebrate, Raymond is doing a full weekend of intimate performances. The first, on Friday, July 7, will be in his native DeLand at Abbey Bar with country guest Rickey Dickens. The next night, he’ll toast in Orlando with an early show at Lil Indie’s as part of the Sundown Sessions. Both shows are free. (8 p.m. Friday, July 7, Abbey Bar, no cover; 7 p.m. Saturday, July 8, Lil Indie’s, no cover)

Brittany Metz: Apperception
Installation artist and educator Brittany Metz’s new solo exhibition, Apperception, opens at Hollerbach’s Art Haus in Sanford this Thursday night, a perfect way to wash away all the ugly-Americanisms of the last few days if there ever was one. Metz explores concepts of being present and our human perception of time’s flow through a range of media including video art, cyanotypes, altered periodicals and collage sculptures. “Our mental state is constantly in flux, oscillating between the past and future,” said Metz previously of her work. “Ultimately, holding the viewer in the present through the experiences I create, similar to meditation, is my desire.” Commissions from any sales will be donated via Hollerbach’s to Zebra Youth. Apperception will be on view at Hollerbach’s through Sept. 14. 6 p.m., Hollerbach’s Art Haus, 205 E. First St., Sanford, hollerbachsarthaus.com, free. — Matthew Moyer
Larry’s Market Run
Going to the market, y’all need anything? It’s not what you think. Rapper Larry June brings his Larry’s Market Run tour to Orlando this week, for one of a pair of Florida shows. The Bay Area MC kicked o his 47-date U.S. tour back in May in Minneapolis and has been going strong since. June is touring behind his adventurous new album — a collaboration with producer the Alchemist — The Great Escape. 7 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, houseofblues.com, $39.50-$89.50. — MM

A portion of the proceeds from each performance will go toward the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. Watch out for rabbits and flying swords, however. 8 p.m., Walt Disney Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter. org, $25-$85. — Gabby Macogay

BY ROB BREZSNY
CANCER (June 21-July 22): I wrote my horoscope column for over 10 years before it began to get widely syndicated. What changed? I became a better writer and oracle, for one thing. My tenacity was inexhaustible. I was always striving to improve my craft, even when the rewards were meager. Another important factor in my eventual success was my persistence in marketing. I did a lot of hard work to ensure the right publications knew about me. I suspect, fellow Cancerian, that 2024 is likely to bring you a comparable breakthrough in a labor of love you have been cultivating for a long time. And the coming months of 2023 will be key in setting the stage for that breakthrough.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Maybe you wish you cared more deeply about a certain situation. Your lack of empathy and passion may feel like a hole in your soul. If so, I have good news. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to find the missing power, to tap into the warm, wet feelings that could motivate your quest for greater connection. Here’s a good way to begin the process: Forget everything you think you know about the situation with which you want more engagement. Arrive at an empty, still point that enables you to observe the situation as if you were seeing it for the first time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are in an astrological phase when you’ll be wise to wrangle with puzzles and enigmas. Whether or not you come up with crisp solutions isn’t as crucial as your earnest efforts to limber up your mind. For best results, don’t worry and sweat about it; have fun! Now I’ll provide a sample riddle to get you in the mood. It’s adapted from a text by David Wallechinsky and Irving Wallace. You are standing before two identical closed doors: one leading to grime and confusion, the other to revelation and joy. Before the doors stand two figures: an angel who always tells the truth and a demon who always lies. But they look alike, and you may ask only one question to help you choose what door to take. What do you do? (Possible answer: Ask either character what the other would say if you asked which door to take, then open the opposite door.)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I found a study that concluded just 6.1. percent of online horoscopes provide legitimate predictions about the future. Furthermore, the research indicated, 62.3 percent of them consist of bland, generic pabulum of no value to the recipient. I disagree with these assessments.
Chani Nicholas, Michael Lutin, Susan Miller and Jessica Shepherd are a few of many regular horoscope writers whose work I find interesting. My own astrological oracles are useful, too. And by the way, how can anyone
have the hubris to decide which horoscopes are helpful and which are not? This thing we do is a highly subjective art, not an objective science. In the spirit of my comments here, Libra, and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to declare your independence from so-called experts and authorities who tell you they know what’s valid and worthwhile for you. Here’s your motto: “I’m the authoritative boss of my own truth.”
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Is it a fact that our bodies are made of stardust? Absolutely true, says planetary scientist Dr. Ashley King. Nearly all the elements comprising our flesh, nerves, bones and blood were originally forged in at least one star, maybe more. Some of the stuff we are made of lived a very long time in a star that eventually exploded: a supernova. Here’s another amazing revelation about you: You are composed of atoms that have existed for almost 14 billion years. I bring these startling realities to your attention, Scorpio, in honor of the most expansive phase of your astrological cycle. You have a mandate to deepen and broaden and enlarge your understanding of who you are and where you came from.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I foresee that August will be a time of experiments and explorations. Life will be in a generous mood toward you, tempting and teasing you with opportunities from beyond your circle of expectations. But let’s not get carried away until it makes cosmic sense to get carried away. I don’t want to urge you to embrace wild hope prematurely. Between now and the end of July, I advise you to enjoy sensible gambles and measured adventures. It’s OK to go deep and be rigorous, but save the full intensity for later.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Is there a crucial half-conscious question lurking in the underside of your mind? A smoldering doubt or muffled perplexity that’s important for you to address? I suspect there is. Now it’s time to coax it up to the surface of your awareness so you may deal with it forthrightly. You must not let it smolder there in its hiding place. Here’s the good news, Capricorn: If you bring the dilemma or confusion or worry into the full light of your consciousness, it will ultimately lead you to unexpected treasure. Be brave!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In Larry McMurtry’s novel Duane’s Depressed, the life of the main character has come to a standstill. He no longer enjoys his job. The fates of his kids are too complicated for him to know how to respond. He has a lot of feelings but has little skill in expressing them. At a loss
about how to change his circumstances, he takes a small and basic step: He stops driving his pickup truck and instead walks everywhere he needs to go. Your current stasis is nowhere near as dire as Duane’s, Aquarius. But I do recommend you consider his approach to initiating transformation: Start small and basic.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author K.V. Patel writes, “As children, we laugh fully with the whole body. We laugh with everything we have.” In the coming weeks, Pisces, I would love for you to regularly indulge in just that: total delight and release. Furthermore, I predict you will be more able than usual to summon uproarious life-affirming amusement from the depths of your enchanted soul. Further furthermore, I believe you will have more reasons than ever before to throw your head back and unleash your entire self in rippling bursts of healing hysterical hilarity. To get started, practice chuckling, giggling and chortling for one minute right now.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Genius physicist Albert Einstein said, “The formulation of a problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old questions from new angles, requires creative imagination and makes real advances.” What he said here applies to our personal dilemmas, too. When we figure out the right questions to ask, we are more than halfway toward a clear resolution. This is always true, of course, but it will be an especially crucial principle for you in the coming weeks.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.” So said Taurus biologist and anthropologist Thomas Huxley (1825-1895). I don’t think you will have to be quite so forceful as that in the coming weeks. But I hope you’re willing to further your education by rebelling against what you already know. And I hope you will be boisterously skeptical about conventional wisdom and trendy ideas. Have fun cultivating a feisty approach to learning! The more time you spend exploring beyond the borders of your familiar world, the better.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Hooray and hallelujah! You’ve been experimenting with the perks of being pragmatic and well-grounded. You have been extra intent on translating your ideals into effective actions. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen you so dedicated to enjoying the simple pleasures. I love that you’re investigating the wonders of being as down-to-earth as you dare. Congratulations! Keep doing this honorable work.

“TOPSIDE”
BY DAN SAVAGE
I’m a 41-year-old cis woman and have experienced a significant amount of physical and emotional abuse in my relationships. I recently started dating again and met a really great guy who told me that he was interested in having a Dom/sub relationship. I thought that would be it and told him so — given my experiences, I wasn’t interested in being his sub — but it turns out he wants me to be his Dom. The thought of being the one in control kind of fascinates me and it feels very sexy to think about. But I am so used to worrying about the very scary and very real repercussions of even having an opinion after everything I have experienced in the past that I’m finding it difficult to navigate this. His interest aren’t in the whips-and-chains wheelhouse; it’s more like wanting to please someone who is demanding and bossy.
Do you have any tips, suggestions, or resources you would recommend for me to learn more and be the best Dom Goddess I can possibly be?
Woman Having Extreme Excitement
“Take it slow,” says Midori. “That’s always my first piece of advice: Take it slow. Then take small steps while remembering to center yourself and your joy first.”
An author, artist, educator, and public speaker on sexuality and kink for more than two decades, Midori created the ForteFemme Women’s Dominance Intensive (fortefemme. com) to help women to explore domination thoughtfully and authentically.
“Everyone talks about new relationship energy, and NRE is real,” Midori says, “but new relationship dynamic energy — NRDE — is just as real. NRDE feels just like NRE in important ways. In both cases, enthusiasm can get the better of us. We find ourselves wanting to do-all-the-things-all-at-once. In our excitement we can bite off more than we can chew, and then wind up feeling queasy and upset after. Right now WHEE should allow the sweet spiciness of all the new and exciting things she’s thinking about to continue to percolate while building confidence in herself.”
Once you’re ready to get started — once you’re ready to experiment — take small steps.
“There’s a giant difference between Dominance and submissive play scenes and D/s relationships, even if the names imply they’re the same thing,” Midori says. “I always refer to the latter as Consented Hierarchical Opted-In Relationships, or CHOIR for short — I know, too cute by half — but it’s helpful to make this distinction between saying yes to a small scene and entering into a D/s relationship.”
Even if you ultimately want a D/s relationship, you should start with some simple play.
“Play is about your fun for tonight,” Midori says, “CHOIR is about structures of decision-making that can encompass ordinary daily life stuff as well as play time. It’s common for folks to mix these up, which can lead to unnecessary pressure, confusion about boundaries, expectation conflict, and other decidedly un-fun feelings. This confusion is so common that I have an online class called “So You Want D/s. Now What?” to help people figure out which is which and how to enjoy them both.”
And your first small step — that first playful scene — doesn’t have to look like BDSM porn. You don’t need gear, outfits or a dedicated play space.
“WHEE should experiment with adding a power dynamic to her already existing sex life,” Midori says. “It’s an exercise I call ‘Will You to You Will.’ Take all the hot vanilla sex stuff you’re already enjoying — the things you’re probably already asking for — and turn the ask into a directive. ‘Will you kiss me?’ becomes ‘You will kiss me.’ ‘Will you lick me?’ becomes “You will lick me.’ ‘Do you want to fuck me?’ becomes ‘We are going to fuck.’”
It’s about what you want.
“Think about what would please you,” Midori says. “That’s what centering yourself and your joy is about. Many of us have been conditioned, in the course of our daily lives, to think of others first and not check in on our own wants. A consensual, collaborative D/s play scene can be a lovely way to break down these self-erasing, destabilizing habits. But to do that — to go there — you have to
honestly ask yourself, ’What would please me right now?’ It might not be something thought of as kinky or sexual. Do you want your hair brushed? You can tell him to brush your hair. Do you want a story read to you? You can tell him to read to you. Do you want dinner cooked and served with him dressed or undressed in a pleasing manner? And then for him to do the dishes? As Westley says to Buttercup, ‘As you wish.’”

Fourteen years ago, I fell for a woman who was into watching guy-on-guy oral sex. I indulged her fetish on multiple occasions at play parties and during pre-arranged hotel encounters with bisexual guys. While I only did this to please her, I enjoyed these MMF encounters because I got off on her getting off. At the time I thought maybe I was bisexual and had been in denial. But after we broke up, I’ve come to believe I am in fact not bi and instead straight. My argument is that I’ve never been romantically attracted to a man. I’ve never gone down on a man without a woman telling me to — and it’s not as if there aren’t any opportunities for me to do so. All that being said, do you think I’m straight?
Sucker For Dom Women
Sure.
How do furries happen? The kink just seems so random. And why are there so many furries now but no furries in ancient history?
Fathoming Unusual Roles
Cartoons. Disney. Mascots. While not everyone who gets off on dressing up in fursuits and/or animal mascot costumes has the same origin story, FUR, many furries trace their kink to the anthropomorphized animal characters they were exposed to in childhood. Now, most kids who watch Disney movies don’t grow up to be furries, just as most kids who take a swim class don’t grow up to have Speedo fetishes or rubber swim cap fetishes. But a certain tiny percentage of all three groups do. Since we can’t predict which random environmental stimuli a kid might fixate on — and therefore can’t predict whose childhood fixations will become adult sexual obsessions — there’s no controlling for kinks. No one’s kinks are consciously chosen, and if they seem random, it’s because they kinda-sorta are random.
As for the ancients: Anthropomorphized animals didn’t come to dominate childhood until the 20th century — Disney was founded in 1923, Looney Tunes was founded in 1930 — but there were adults running around out there with marionette fetishes acquired at puppet shows before Mickey and Bugs took over. (There are still marionette fetishists out there.) As for the actual ancients, the Roman emperor Nero (37-68 AD) used to dress up in animal skins and pretend to be a wild boar at orgies — according to historians who may have been biased against him — and there are lots of examples of ancient people dressing up as animals for religious festivals and holidays; some of festivals included sacred sexual rites, but some of them were just fuck fests because people are — and have always been — kinky freaks.
