» Federal judge strikes down Florida’s ban on Medicaid funding for transgender healthcare

Calling the state’s policy “invidious discrimination” against transgender people, a federal judge ruled that Florida’s ban on Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care (such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy) is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle’s ruling last Wednesday largely echoed a decision he issued earlier this month in a challenge to state restrictions on gender-affirming care for children and adults. “Same record, same findings and conclusions,” Hinkle’s 54-page ruling said. “Gender identity is real.” The ruling came in a lawsuit filed by two adults and the parents of two children against the state Agency for Health Care Administration, which runs most of the Medicaid program. The agency last year adopted a rule banning Medicaid reimbursements to health-care providers for what they called “sex-reassignment” treatments, such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgeries. Hinkle’s ruling addressed only gender-affirming medicines. Hinkle wrote that the state’s ban was “a biased effort to justify a predetermined outcome, not a fair analysis of the evidence.” The conclusion, he added, “was not supported by the evidence and was contrary to generally accepted medical standards.”

» Florida medical board approves emergency rule that allows continuing trans care for children and adults

Another win for LGBTQ+ advocates: The Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine approved an emergency rule that will allow trans minors and adults to continue receiving genderaffirming treatments under certain conditions. Physicians will be able to renew orders for puberty blockers and hormone therapy so long as no changes are made to the prescriptions. This allows for a continuation of care while the medical boards draft other regulations to carry out a new law (SB 254) that makes it harder for trans folks to obtain gender-affirming care. One of the biggest challenges that law presents for trans adults is that it bans nurse practitioners (who prescribe an estimated 80 percent of prescriptions for hormone therapy) from prescribing gender-affirming treatments. Now, only physicians are permitted to. The new law also mandates that the medical boards create “informed consent” forms that patients must sign to receive the care — and what that process will look like exactly is still TBD. Under the rule recently approved by the medical boards, doctors can (for now) renew prescriptions for transgender patients if the prescriptions do not change doses or types of treatment. The boards will finalize and vote on the informed consent forms, and all of the strings attached to that, on June 30.

» Florida professors urge federal appeals court to uphold injunction on ‘Stop WOKE Act’ 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 (that’s right, the one Gov. Ron DeSantis dubbed the “Stop WOKE Act”). A preliminary injunction was issued in November against the law. Attorneys for plaintiffs want the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to back that up. The plaintiffs contend, in part, that the law violates speech rights and academic freedom. “Not since the anti-communist measures of the McCarthy era has a state legislature interfered so directly with the academic freedom of university instructors,” said one of the briefs. “It was in that period, when legislatures, like Florida’s today, sought to suppress views they disfavored, that the Supreme Court developed the First Amendment principles of academic freedom.” But in an April brief filed at the Atlanta-based appeals court, attorneys for the state argued that the previous ruling (the injunction) should be overturned. The 11th Circuit has not indicated whether it will hear oral arguments in the case.

» Brightline celebrates finish of higher-speed train route connecting Orlando to South Florida

Brightline’s Orlando station last week marked the completion of its new higher-speed train line, connecting central and south Florida. A few final touches still need to be addressed in terms of testing, but tickets are now available for the railway’s extended line from Orlando to Miami. Service is expected to start Sept. 1, coinciding with Labor Day weekend. Passengers can expect a swift three-hour journey from Orlando to Miami, as the train reaches speeds of up to 110 miles per hour. Other destinations from this new station include West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and Aventura. Premium tickets begin at $149 one-way. Your standard coach option, the “Smart” option, starts at $79 one-way.

» Orange County expands its free ESOL pilot program for I-Drive employees

The Orange County government has expanded its ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) for Working Adults pilot program, now offering language courses to even more employees who work along International Drive. IMA Medical Group and Paramount Hospitality Management join the inaugural employer, Rosen Hotels & Resorts, to provide space, time, support and pay for participating workers. The program, known as EPIC, was born in 2022, when Orange County’s I-Drive Community Redevelopment Act Advisory Group sought a solution to low employment rates following COVID-19 restrictions in the tourism industry. Classes are taught by UCF Global instructors, who are fluent in Spanish, Kreyòl and English. According to Jennifer Haddad, M.Ed., Program Director, UCF Global Engagement, nearly 64 percent of the participants in this pilot program indicated better work opportunities as a main interest in the program.

» Florida university officials postpone plan to hike tuition for outof-state students

Florida higher-education officials put on hold a request by university presidents to raise tuition for out-of-state students. This came hours after Gov. Ron DeSantis touted efforts to avoid tuition hikes over the past decade. The plan had proposed that universities individually raise tuition by up to 15 percent for students who come from out of state. But Eric Silagy, the board’s vice chairman, announced last Thursday that the plan was being postponed, saying “additional work” is needed before potentially implementing the tuition increase. The presidents of each state university and the chairs of the universities’ boards of trustees had backed the tuition hike idea, in part characterizing it as a way to “prioritize” in-state students. DeSantis, who’s now running for president in 2024, has made keeping Florida’s college and university tuition low a pillar of his higher-education policies. He also has significant sway when it comes to the state university system’s Board of Governors, which oversees Florida’s network of 12 universities.

BACKROOM BRIEFING

DeSantis defends staffers against ethics complaints, vetoes masses of legislators’ projects, and more behind the scenes political moves

BY JIM TURNER, NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Gov. Ron DeSantis last Thursday defended three of his top staff members against ethics complaints related to his presidential campaign.

“I’m confident it was 100 percent totally compliant with anything, and I think it’s just a great testament that people understand we need to change some things in this country,” DeSantis said when asked about the issue during an appearance in Tampa.

DeSantis also said his staff’s support for his campaign is “a very positive thing” and described as “totally frivolous” the complaints filed by Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried, a longtime DeSantis foe.

Based on reporting by NBC News, the complaints filed Wednesday at the Florida Commission on Ethics and Florida Elections Commission targeted DeSantis Chief of Staff James Uthmeier, legislative affairs director Stephanie Kopelousos and policy and budget director Chris Spencer.

“Public officials are employed to serve the people of Florida, not line Ron’s pockets,” Fried said in a statement.

“Any reasonable person could infer from the reporting that our governor was holding the state budget hostage in exchange for political endorsements and donations — actions that are both unethical and illegal,” Fried added. “This corrupt scheme to generate fake support for his failing presidential campaign is both a major threat to our democracy and a sad look into the psyche of a man whose ambitions have driven him and his sycophants to lives of crime.”

The governor’s office has said the staffers engaged in campaign activities in their private time, an explanation that DeSantis backed on Thursday.

“They’ve called friends. Asked for support, donations, all this other stuff,” DeSantis said. “They have every right to do that. They don’t use state resources to do it. Of course not. But you have every right as a private citizen to be engaged and to be involved.”

VETO TOTALS

DeSantis’ veto pen pinched all but 10 of the 139 lawmakers who got local projects and programs into a state budget approved last month by the Legislature.

For some of those 10, it helped to have local projects geared toward hurricane recovery.

Left unscathed were local proposals by House Republicans Carolina Amesty of Windermere, Mike Beltran of Riverview, Adam Botana of Bonita Springs, Stan McClain of Ocala, Lauren Melo of Naples, Kiyan Michael of Jacksonville and Kevin Steele of Dade City and House Democrats Dan Daley of Coral Springs, Susan Valdes of Tampa and Katherine Waldron of Wellington.

In all, DeSantis vetoed $510.9 million from what was a $117 billion budget when passed by the Legislature.

Botana secured $101 million for 18 projects in the Lee County area, topped by $57 million for repairs to the Sanibel Causeway corridor. Hurricane Ian caused massive damage in Lee County and other parts of Southwest Florida when it made landfall in September.

Melo got 21 projects approved, collectively seeking more than $83 million. Most involved storm-hardening efforts, topped by $13 million to build an emergency operations center in Everglades City.

Beltran and Valdes each landed just a single item under their names in the spending plan. Waldron had two.

On the other end, 10 senators had 10 or more items vetoed, topped by Sen. Tom Wright, R-New Smyrna Beach, with 21 projects vetoed carrying a combined total of $18.95 million.

The biggest hits from a dollar perspective were suffered by Sen. Ed Hooper, a Clearwater Republican who had $39.6 million in spending vetoed, and Rep. Randy Maggard, a Dade City Republican who had $37.95 million vetoed. The two jointly sponsored a vetoed $30.8 million land-acquisition project.

Rep. Randy Fine, R-Brevard County, Rep. Fiona McFarland, R-Sarasota, and Rep. Chase Tramont, R-Port Orange, took nine vetoes.

In a series of tweets Friday, Fine noted he had secured $33.6 million for 19 projects and that “you can’t get everything you ask for.”

MASK MANDATE MOOT

A federal appeals court last Thursday ended a Floridabased legal fight over whether airplane passengers and other travelers could be required to wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the case is moot, as a mask requirement “no longer exists.”

Tampa-based U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in April 2022 halted a federal mandate that people wear masks on planes, trains and buses to try to prevent the spread of the virus. Mizelle, who was appointed to the federal bench by former President Donald Trump, ruled that the mask requirement exceeded the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s authority under a law known as the Public Health Services Act and refuted arguments that the requirement was a legal sanitation measure.

The dispute went to the Atlanta-based appeals court, but the three-judge panel Thursday vacated Mizelle’s ruling and ordered the case be dismissed as moot. In part, the panel pointed to the end last month of a federally declared public-health emergency. It said the mask mandate, if it had been in effect, would have expired with the end of the public-health emergency.

“By its own terms, the mandate expired after the HHS (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) secretary declared that the public health emergency has ended, and there is no hint that this decision was an effort to avoid further litigation,” said the ruling, written by Judge Charles Wilson and joined by Judges Adalberto Jordan and Andrew Brasher. “Further, nothing in the text of the mandate suggests it can be revived after its expiration, and there is not a grain of evidence that the CDC has any plans to promulgate an identical mandate.”

A FINAL MISSION

Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez last week joined the state’s soon-to-close business-recruitment agency Enterprise Florida to open the Florida pavilion at the 2023 Paris Air Show.

Nuñez also attended the Aerospace Industries Association’s U.S. reception and meetings with officials from Embraer, Lockheed Martin and ST Engineering, a Singaporean multinational technology and engineering group.

On Tuesday, she met with additional companies before an Enterprise Florida event that included Aura Aero and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University signing a memorandum of understanding that is expected to result in about 20 new jobs and internships for student pilots in Volusia County.

“Our presence at the Paris Air Show sends an important signal to this targeted industry that Florida is a leader and has the right talent, infrastructure, and business-friendly climate to support and assist business development and expansion,” Nuñez said in a statement from the governor’s office.

Lawmakers and DeSantis this spring approved a plan that will fold Enterprise Florida’s operations into the Department of Economic Opportunity, which on July 1 will become the Department of Commerce.

The air show is held in odd years, though this year’s is the first since 2019 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Florida has hosted a pavilion for three decades.

TWEET OF THE WEEK:

FLORIDA AIN’T FREE AT ALL

State Senate president Kathleen Passidomo felt a comment by environmental advocate Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch was ‘disrespectful.’ So she punished her.

BY CRAIG PITTMAN, FLORIDA PHOENIX

Maybe you’ve seen or at least heard of the 1941 Humphrey Bogart detective movie The Maltese Falcon. But did you know it was based on a 1930 novel by a real detective?

Dashiell Hammett had been a Pinkerton Agency private eye before he created the fictional private eye Sam Spade and sent him chasing after that valuable bird statue.

There’s a scene in the novel that didn’t appear in the movie version. Spade is talking about solving a missing-persons case involving a guy named Flitcraft. When Spade finds him, he learns that Flitcraft decided to disappear from his settled, orderly life after a beam fell from a building under construction and barely missed him.

“He felt like somebody had taken the lid off life and let him look at the works,” Spade says.

That line about Flitcraft and the beam occurred to me last week when I heard what happened to Jacqui ThurlowLippisch, an award-winning environmental advocate who since 2019 has been a member of the governing board of the South Florida Water Management District.

The role of the beam is played here by the Florida Senate

— a blunt instrument with all the destructive power and intellectual capacity of a falling steel girder. Its impact pulls the lid off and shows you how Florida politics really works these days.

In 2019, when Gov. Ron “Eat a Lamb Testicle and Vote for Me for President!” DeSantis first became governor, he was still pretending to care about the environment. One of his first actions was to demand every single member of the South Florida Water Management District governing board resign so he could appoint replacements who were not in the pocket of Big Sugar.

Thurlow-Lippisch was one of those replacements.

“Jacqui will be a champion for our environment and for Floridians everywhere,” he said then.

She did a lot more than just fill a chair in a West Palm Beach conference room, too.

“Few people in South Florida care more about our troubled waters than Thurlow-Lippisch, and her presence on the board — her constant questioning and requests for district officials to put complex topics into language the layman can understand — has been hugely beneficial,” an environmental group called VoteWater said in a recent alert to its supporters.

When her term expired last year, DeSantis reappointed her,

signaling that he, too, was satisfied with her job performance. But a funny thing happened this spring. The Florida Senate refused to confirm her reappointment. As a result, her last day in office was Monday, June 19.

Some people who know Thurlow-Lippisch wondered if the Senate had just missed her application or had forgotten about her. Nope.

A spokeswoman for Senate President Kathleen Passidomo said the rejection was intentional. It was a deliberate payback for something Thurlow-Lippisch said about the Legislature last year.

Passidomo and other lawmakers thought her comments “disparaged the Legislature and disrespected the constitutional role of duly elected legislators in a public setting,” her spokeswoman said.

Bear in mind, though, that Thurlow-Lippisch said those things while she and a lot of other people were objecting to a sugar-backed bill that powerful lawmakers tried to sneak through, threatening to ruin efforts to revive Lake Okeechobee. Thurlow-Lippisch told me she’s aware that she becomes extremely passionate about Florida’s waterways. One of those is Lake Okeechobee.

“I’m a nice person, a polite person,” she said, “but I’m like a mama bear when I’m protecting my babies.”

You know how DeSantis keeps talking about how free Florida is? Here’s a sign that when it comes to expressing an opinion, Florida ain’t free at all.

[continued on page 13]

Watching the world turning Thurlow-Lippisch has seen adversity before.

Once she was a high-school teacher, engaged to be married. Then, in 2001, she fell from the balcony of a house under construction and broke her neck.

“It happened in one second,” she wrote years later. “And in that second, when what I thought was solid ground under my feet collapsed, and I was falling, watching the world turning, the shining St. Lucie River and blue sky before me, I clearly remember saying to myself: ‘I can’t believe it; this is how I am going to die.’”

She didn’t die, but her life blew up.

“I was unable to take care of myself, my engagement fell apart, so my mother and father took care of me,” she told me. “Also, I could no longer afford my house payments as I was now on disability but with a 60 percent salary reduction.”

As she slowly pieced her life back together, she earned her real estate license. She chose that field “because it allowed for flexible hours, phone work, and the ability to regain my independence and make a living,” she said. “I was in therapy every week learning to walk and hold my head up (literally).”

Selling real estate was hard for her, especially under the circumstances, “but it taught me … respect for people who live on commission and intimate insight into people’s financial and personal struggles,” she said.

It also tied in with her interest in the environment, “because I realized I was never just selling a house,” she told me. “I was selling the beauty and wildlife of the St. Lucie River of my childhood — something precious to me. Something that could make people’s lives better.”

She plunged into politics, eventually becoming the mayor of Sewall’s Point, and meanwhile married an oral surgeon, Dr. Ed Lippisch.

She also began blogging about the area’s waterways and their woes, often posting aerial photos shot from the doctor’s plane. The most recent series documents the spread of blue-green algae across Lake Okeechobee.

Thus, when she took her seat on the South Florida water board, she already knew a lot about issues like water pollution and toxic algae. And when that Senate bill popped up last year, she didn’t hold back in expressing her opinion.

And she wasn’t the only one.

Who to punish

If you grew up watching Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday morning TV, the way I did, then you might remember “I’m Just a Bill” and have an idea of how legislation is supposed to be filed and commented on and voted up or down.

I have to tell you, though, that sometimes sneaky people do their legislating in a sneaky way, especially if they don’t want the public to know what they’re up to.

That’s what happened last year with Senate Bill 2508, which didn’t get filed until late on a Friday evening, a month into the legislative session.

The bill, which suddenly appeared like that villain Voldemort popping up at Harry Potter’s school, was sponsored by Sen. Ben Albritton, a Wauchula citrus grower. But everyone knew that the real wizard behind this malevolent bit of lawmaking was then-Senate President Wilton Simpson, R-Agribusiness Über Alles.

Although it was supposedly just a “budget conforming bill,” SB 2508 contained some major policy changes. It was packed with so much bad stuff that it should have carried one of those Poison Control stickers on the side.

The bill was designed to help Big Sugar control the South Florida water supply, handcuff the South Florida water agency, and hurt both the environment and the residents there.

And it was scheduled to be heard at a single committee meeting the following week.

Some leaders of the South Florida water board scrambled to get to Tallahassee to testify against the bill. So did a lot of environmental activists, including people from a group called Captains for Clean Water.

They did more than merely testify. They “parked their trailered boats in front of our outlandishly phallic Capitol building to protest how we were all getting screwed,” I wrote about it last year.

When all those folks showed up at the committee meeting, did our fine legislators greet these civic-minded citizens with open arms and open minds? They did not. The senators looked at all those common folks who opposed the bill and proceeded to dump on them.

They “were belittled, insulted, told they didn’t know what they were talking about, that they’d been misled,” the water agency’s vice chairman, Scott Wagner, reported at the next governing board meeting.

To make matters worse, he said, a lot of the clean-water advocates were told they could have no more than 45 seconds to speak. Imagine taking time off work, driving six or seven hours to Tallahassee, and then being told you have less than a minute to make your point.

All of the governing board members were upset about how the legislators had acted — dissing the citizenry, then passing the bill. Several said things that expressed their level of outrage. One of them was Thurlow-Lippisch, who said the lawmakers’ attitude was, “Oh well, we’re God. You’re not. We’re in Tallahassee.”

One of Thurlow-Lippisch’s fellow governing board members, Ronald “Alligator Ron” Bergeron — a gator-wrestling, pythonhunting, rodeo-winning, airboat-piloting son of the Everglades — told me last year that the legislators pushing SB 2508 had rocks in their heads. I didn’t disagree with him.

Even DeSantis, hardly the greenest chief executive in Florida history, blasted the bill and its sponsors. He said SB 2508 was being “rammed through the budget process, short-circuiting public engagement and leaving affected agencies in the dark.”

He ended up vetoing the bill, despite its backing by Simpson. But who did the legislators decide to punish? The environmental activist.

Jammed up like an interstate

Thurlow-Lippisch and Bergeron were both up for reappointment in 2022. DeSantis handed them both a second four-year term on the water board. Both needed confirmation from the Senate this year.

Back in 2019, all of DeSantis’ South Florida water appointees went to see the senators all at once. This time, in mid-March, those two went separately, accompanied by a pair of water agency staffers.

Thurlow-Lippisch said she met with various legislators, shook hands, even posed for a photo. But when her party got to the office of Senate President Passidomo, who was Simpson’s top lieutenant last year, she wasn’t invited inside.

You might think that, Thurlow-Lippisch being a real estate agent and Passidomo being a lawyer who specializes in real estate, they would have a lot in common. Apparently, that’s not so.

Instead, when the water agency staffers emerged from Passidomo’s office, “I could see on their faces that something was wrong,” she told me.

“Jacqui,” one of them said, “we have a problem.”

They explained that she had said something a year ago that Passidomo had found insulting. As a result, the Senate president had decided to block her confirmation from even coming to a vote. It was jammed up like a Florida interstate on a holiday weekend — nothing moving.

They didn’t know exactly what she’d said that was so offensive, just that they’d been told she should go home. No need to stay in Tallahassee.

The next day, Thurlow-Lippisch wrote a note to Passidomo. It said in part: “I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and apologize in person for any comments I have made that were disrespectful to you and to the Senate.”

She has never received any response to that note, she told me.

I contacted Passidomo’s spokeswoman, Katie Betta, to ask what happened. Here’s what she told me:

“Many senators, including President Passidomo, were dismayed by Commissioner Thurlow-Lippisch’s public comments disparaging the Legislature and disrespecting the constitutional role of duly elected legislators. Specifically, to state at a public meeting that legislators — who were elected to represent their constituents — think they are God, was inappropriate and disrespectful in the view of President Passidomo.”

When I pointed out that Bergeron, who did get confirmed, had said they all had rocks in their heads, Betta said that was different. Thurlow-Lippisch’s comments had occurred “in a public setting,” as opposed to being published in a column.

I have examined this every which way possible, and I still don’t see the difference.

Suck it up, Buttercup

Over the years, I have heard people say a lot of bad things about our legislators.

I have heard people say they are a gaggle of grinning idiots, a bunch of boneheaded political hacks, a platoon of wannabe fascists, and so forth. Heck, Carl Hiaasen once called the legislative session our “annual festival of whores.”

Sometimes I have said a few of those things myself. That’s called “exercising your First Amendment right to free speech,” which seems to have fallen out of favor in Florida government these days. Only those who march in lockstep with those in charge are looked upon with favor.

I have to admit that I have never before heard our legislators compared to God. His satanic opposition? Sure.

Thurlow-Lippisch didn’t exactly compare them to God Almighty, or even to Morgan Freeman. She was saying that the way they acted, they apparently thought of themselves as the King of Kings.

That’s still not the worst thing anyone’s ever said about Florida legislators — in or out of a public setting. So why punish her?

Gil Smart, executive director of VoteWater, pointed out that Passidomo has received beaucoup campaign contributions from the sugar industry. He suggested that’s who’s behind this delayed retribution. I contacted a sugar industry representative for comment but couldn’t get a straight answer.

The other person I sought comment from was DeSantis. After all, this is a slap at him, with the Senate refusing to even consider one of his choices for an appointed office. Theoretically, he could slap back by reappointing Thurlow-Lippisch and telling Passidomo, “Suck it up, Buttercup.”

Thurlow-Lippisch says she hasn’t heard a peep from the governor’s office. And I couldn’t pry a response out of his media folks. Perhaps that’s because their boss is off campaigning in California and couldn’t care less about Florida.

So, here’s my suggestion. Politicians like winning things, right? Elections, Iowa caucuses, prizes. I say we notify Passidomo that her revenge on Thurlow-Lippisch for speaking out has won her a big prize: the Big Baby Award. If you see her, be sure to congratulate her on being such a Big Baby and ask if she needs a diaper change.

By the way, do you know where I can buy her a really big pacifier to represent the prize? One about the size of a steel beam?

LEAVING NEVERLAND

Orlando theater creator Jeremy Seghers joins the exodus of artists out of Florida

BY SETH KUBERSKY

Thanks to Florida’s current governor, creative artists and members of vulnerable minorities (often the same thing) have been exiting our state en masse via planes, trains, automobiles … and even streetcars.

You can add producer and director Jeremy Seghers to that list; after nearly 20 years contributing to Orlando’s cultural scene, he is (in the immortal words of MuppetVision 3D) moving to Pittsburgh, but not before shaking up Central Florida’s stages one last time with a groundbreaking production of A Streetcar Named Desire that recently wrapped at Timucua. I recently sat down for a “moving moment” with Jeremy to reflect on his wideranging legacy and hear how his swan song shed new light on Tennessee Williams’ classic.

A native of Jacksonville, Seghers studied at Savannah College of Art and Design and lived briefly in Chicago before returning to Florida in the mid-aughts. Wanting to stay close to family, but seeking more culture than Jacksonville could provide, Jeremy was lured to Orlando by the Fringe Festival, first serving as an unpaid assistant to then-producer Beth Marshall; to pay the bills, he worked at Barnes & Noble alongside much-missed Orlando Weekly columnist Billy Manes.

By 2007, he was producing his own Fringe shows, including an ill-fated puppetry fable with Heather Henson, a searing stage adaptation of Mysterious Skin and The Adventures of Normal People in 3D, a free performance where nothing happened for an hour and patrons were forced to pay if they wanted to leave early.

“We had the guy who took the fire extinguisher off the wall and sprayed it around,” recalls Seghers of the infamous social experiment. “That was the show that Beth [Marshall] was in, along with [performance artist] Brian Feldman, who had fallen asleep on the ground in sort of a Dracula position. And so he had this outline of white powder all around him, and we had to wake him up and say, ‘you’re laying in this toxic dust.’ So that was fun.”

Following a sojourn in New York, Seghers returned with a remarkable run of innovative site-specific experiences, including A

Clockwork Orange on I-Drive, Dracula inside a taxidermy shop and Equus in an actual barn (without working air conditioning).

“It was kind of like ‘necessity is the mother of invention,’ really, because I came back, I didn’t have a venue, and I didn’t want to waste any more time,” Seghers says.

In the years since then, Seghers has become sought-after as a freelance director, working across the region from the Villages to Winter Garden; most recently, he mounted Misery at Osceola Arts and the epic two-part Angels in America at Valencia College. For his final local production, Seghers revived a concept he had previously pitched at Osceola Arts, inspired by his friend and collaborator Indigo Leigh, the openly transgender actress and designer who plays the fragile heroine, Blanche DuBois.

“When I was doing pre-production for Angels, I think that kind of sparked something, because there are there are so many connections [and] parallels between Kushner and Williams,” says Seghers. “It’s been widely noted that Blanche and Tennessee Williams are the same. … He wrote a character with queer camp sensibilities, she has a flair for the dramatic; she is an outsider, and Tennessee was an outsider; [so] it’s not that far of a leap to make, having Blanche as a queer character.”

When asked his reasons for leaving town, Seghers cites not only “the political stuff that’s happening right now in Florida,” but also the tribal competitiveness of Orlando’s cliquish theater community.

“If we don’t unify against the real enemy of artists, which is fascism, [then] there’s not going to be anything left,” Jeremy says in farewell. “I hope that a new generation of theater makers will work with their friends to start something and keep it going, [and] then welcome new people in who can bring things that are different from them, not the same. Inclusion is not exclusion, and people need to know the difference.

“Have a vision. Have your own perspective about things [because] there’s so much talent here, and there’s so much potential with that talent.”

Orlando’s arts institutions are increasingly emphasizing the diversity of Central Florida’s cultural community, offering creative outlets for members of historically marginalized communities. But despite those outreach efforts, the fact remains that the vast majority of mainstream artistic opportunities are oriented toward Englishspeakers, which leaves out a significant swath of our area’s Latinx population. In a bid to redress that imbalance, downtown’s Fringe ArtSpace teamed up last weekend with the Latina-led nonprofit Open Scene (opensceneorlando.com) to present the third annual Festival Latinoamericano de Artes Escénicas (Latin American Festival of Performing Arts) — or FLAE — featuring three days devoted to Spanish-language theater and Latin American artists.

Open Scene was founded in 2019 by Venezuelan journalist Thamara Bejarano, debuting with a performance art piece on Church Street at the Creative City Project’s Immerse festival, where they also presented the intriguing “Exquisite Corpse” virtual reality experience three years later. During the pandemic period in between, Open Scene streamed readings of Lorca and Ibsen en español, but it was their Fringe 2022 production of Claudia Vargas Vega’s Raquel, a searing drama about anti-trans violence, that really caught my attention. In addition, Open Scene has held several playwriting contests (their latest, “Escena Abierta,” closes June 30) and created three installments of “Voices,” a series of dramatic documentaries and socially conscious shows.

For this year’s FLAE, Open Scene returned to Church Street and brought to ArtSpace Miami’s Havanafama for a kabuki-inspired interpretation of La Casa de Bernarda Alba and Texas’ Teatro Dallas with Gustavo Ott’s tragicomedy Passport. I stopped by on Saturday for the festival’s grand finale, a “Noche de Zarzuela” revue of the 17th-century Hispanic operatic subgenre by Central Florida Vocal Arts’ Opera del Sol.

The evening began with an hour of live guitar music in the ArtSpace lobby, which was temporarily transformed into a visual art gal-

Best Attraction That’s Not a Theme Park

lery, prior to the main presentation starring soprano Mariangel Cestari, mezzo-soprano Stefanie Diaz, tenor John Teixeira and baritone Jose-Manuel Lopez, under the direction of Bert Rodriguez. These internationally experienced vocalists were supported by a superb chamber quartet fronted by dynamic viola player Daniel Cortes, along with a twirling trio of human chrysanthemums from Raymi Dance.

My last experience with Open Scene, their 2023 Fringe drama La Cantante Vuelve, was undermined by unintelligible high-tech translation devices, so I was thankful they weren’t needed to thoroughly enjoy the Zarzuela; after all, opera has been appreciated across linguistic lines for centuries before supertitles arrived. Bejarano says her company will continue experimenting with “state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technology” that will allow them to offer all their content with subtitles and audio in more than 25 languages.

However, it was evident from the audience’s enthusiastic reception that this colorful, emotionally charged concert didn’t need a school of bionic Babel fish to make an artistic impact.

“The reaction to this week’s festival from both patrons and artists has been overwhelmingly positive,” says Open Scene production director Mariela Saad. “The fact that the public was captivated by every performance is a testament to the quality and appeal of our offer. The great feedback received further reinforces the success of the event. These reactions make us feel extremely pleased and excited about the future. They validate our efforts in building an Open Scene Community that fosters a

shared passion for the arts, culture and their universality.”

If you didn’t make it to this year’s FLAE, you’ll have plenty of future opportunities to see Open Scene in action at Fringe ArtSpace, because they are one of three organizations chosen to join the Collective, Orlando Fringe’s recently relaunched incubator program. Along with Meka King’s Sonflower Joy Music and Without Fear Theatre, Open Space will participate in an 18-month mentoring program, and receive up to $20,000 (plus over $35,000 in in-kind services) to produce multiple shows in Fringe ArtSpace’s season starting next spring. This new program is sponsored by the Downtown Development Board, and spearheaded by Fringe’s newly promoted Creative Learning Producer, Genevieve Bernard [aka, full disclosure, my wife].

“Our hopes for our time with the Collective incubator are filled with excitement and anticipation,” says Saad. “We see this opportunity as a valuable platform for collaboration and growth. Through it, we aim to foster meaningful partnerships, exchange ideas and explore new possibilities together. This collaborative environment will provide us with resources, support and networking opportunities that can help us bring new and innovative projects to our audience. Our goal is to accelerate our growth, expand our reach and continue bringing exciting experiences to the community we serve. We are grateful for this opportunity and optimistic about the positive impact it will have on our organization and all the parties involved.”

NORMAN’S CONQUEST

BY FAIYAZ KARA

proverbial script. In three visits to Norman’s, I’ve noticed a consistency and reliability to the offerings. I will likely be indulging in French toast ($38) fashioned from griddled brioche, stuffed with fattened Curacao-scented foie gras, and embellished with passion-fruit caramel and candied lime zest when I dine there a fourth time. But while an American wagyu strip “a la plancha” served with pommes puree, cipollini onions and white asparagus ($145) and double-cut lamb chops “adobo” splashed with chimichurri ($67) were expertly prepared, their ties to “third culture” cooking seemed cursory at best. Same goes for the gorgeous plating of house made pappardelle with braised short rib, morels and English peas in a red wine reduction($56). Salt wasn’t all that was missing from the dish; so was the dish’s roots to “New World Cuisine.”

When it comes to stories that mere food on a plate can tell, it’s Norman’s tasting menu ($155; $220 with wine pairing) that serves as a depository, as well as a reminder of why Van Aken is as relevant a chef today as he’s been at any point in his career.

OPENINGS and CLOSINGS

Unmooring a restaurant from its secure and cushy position inside a luxury hotel chain can prove challenging, even for one as famed and highly regarded as Norman’s. After a 16-year run at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes, Norman Van Aken’s legendary eating house was set adrift for three and a half years before it found a new berth this past March at the Dellagio Town Center in Dr. Phillips.

Robles Molina, the former sous chef who was appointed chef de cuisine, embraced his new role and, along with his James Beard Awardwinning mentor, steered Norman’s dishes to a familiar heading.

Fans of Van Aken’s “New World” cooking couldn’t get to the corner of Sand Lake Road and Della Drive fast enough but, when they did make it there in those opening days and weeks, receptions were surprisingly cool. Many lamented the muted aesthetics of the space. “It doesn’t feel special,” someone said to me, while another similarly grieved, “It doesn’t feel special enough.” Harried servers appeared to be playing catch-up and just when they got into a rhythm, longtime general manager Yusuf Yildiz left to go to the very restaurant that replaced Norman’s inside the Ritz-Carlton. Ouch.

It was a rocky start, no doubt, and without the support of the Ritz, the pressure was on for Van Aken and business partner Kim Wood to right the ship. So they, along with director of sales Laura Fletcher, set out to do just that: Everything from lighting adjustments to hiring a new general manager (Sean McKnight from Ava MediterrAegean) to introducing a tasting menu helped stabilize things. Carlos

Yes, the menu’s LatinCaribbean DNA is still intact, but flavors from Japan and Southeast Asia expand on Van Aken’s “New World” view. Blue crab beignets ($24) dressed with hearts of palm slaw come cemented in a yuzu aioli, while chilled beef tender loin ($17) is given a “tataki” treatment along with a splash of ginger-soy dressing and sunchoke chips. The starters and first plates all fit nicely into the Van Aken ethos, and consciously so.

Tamarind-glazed octopus ($22) crowned with “glass potatoes” — gossamer cracklings made from potato stock and potato starch — are just as seafood-worthy as shrimp and mussel chowder ($22) styled like Brazilian moqueca, with its coconut milk base and flavors of saf fron, orange and star anise adding depth.

In fact, Molina doesn’t veer off course in search of uncharted flavor combinations like some sort of culinary Jacques Cousteau, but rather, sticks to the

“What we seek is to showcase the breadth and diversity of where we live,” reads the intro to the monthly-changing menu, and that includes the ingredients as much as it does the people who work with those ingredients. As we all indulged in a bevy of Gloriann Rivera’s post-meal delights — the sopapilla cheesecake bar ($16) and vanilla “flancocho” cake ($16) show off her skills as pastry chef — a friend of mine looked around and said, “This place looks like a cruise ship from the 1920s.”

“One with a 4,000-bottle wine list,” I managed to add through a mouthful of chocolate crème brûlée ($18) that was unlike any crème brûlée I’d ever enjoyed. But he was right. It did have the feel of an ocean liner of yore and, in that context, I saw the space in a different light: classy, sturdy and capable of navigating through the roughest of seas.

ON (small) SCREENS IN ORLANDO

(NOTE: Premiere dates will get increasingly hypothetical as the writers’ strike continues. Pretty soon, you might have to Jenga and chill!)

PREMIERES WEDNESDAY:

Delete — If you Google “Delete Netflix,” you mostly get suggestions for how to … well, delete Netflix. Which honestly isn’t a bad idea, especially if you’ve already seen all of I Think You Should Leave Season 3. But you might want to stick around for Delete, a Thai series in which an adulterous couple come into possession of a mysterious cell phone that allows them to erase their respective spouses from reality. Damn, that’s two good ideas already, and the week is just getting started. (Netflix)

El Dorado: Everything the Nazis Hate — A combination of archival footage and recreations takes us back to a nightclub that was the epicenter of gay activity in 1920s Berlin, before Hitler’s forces laid waste to the community. Or for a similar experience, you could just visit Southern Nights now. (Netflix) Hijack — How to go from “Let’s roll” to “Let’s talk,” in a short 22 years: When a plane is hijacked by terrorists, the passengers’ hopes for survival rest with one of their own (Idris Elba) who happens to be an expert corporate negotiator. Hey, it’s worth a shot. I just never

imagined you could pacify a hijacker by promising him a corner cell with a window.

(Apple TV+)

Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators — Believe it or not, one of the most popular pastimes of the ’90s was watching spandex-clad ’roid ragers whale the tar out of each other on TV. They even had their own attraction on I-Drive! Now it’s three decades later, and all that’s left of the American Gladiators franchise is this docuseries retrospective. And if you want to see experts in the art of aggression endangering one another’s life and limb for your amusement, you need to go clubbing on Orange Avenue on a weekend night.

(Netflix)

Run Rabbit Run — Sarah Snook of Succession plays a fertility doctor whose daughter appears to be experiencing memories of a past life. Worse yet, that life was mostly spent going to Chuck E. Cheese with the Duggars. (Netflix)

Weekend Family — The French sitcom returns for a second season, with single dad Fred (Eric Judor) still trying to navigate partial custody of his three daughters from three different mothers. Between this and Mamma Mia!, I really feel as if conservatives might be worryingly unduly about Pete Buttigieg’s family. (Disney+)

PREMIERES THURSDAY:

Ooku: The Inner Chambers — This anime series is based on the hoary sci-fi trope of an elite group of men being kept as sex slaves in a female-dominated society. Because if there’s one thing Ian Miles Cheong has learned to appreciate, it’s a seller’s market.

(Netflix)

Secret Chef — The ongoing quest to make each new cooking competition kookier than the last finds a new high-water mark: Contestants are isolated in an underground bunker and take orders from an animated talking hat. See, the secret ingredient is love. And gummies. (Hulu)

Ten Year Old Tom — A new school year brings a new set of milestones for Tom in Season 2, including getting drunk for the very first time. Wait, this kid is still 10, right? Because I was under the impression they’ve moved on to huffing by that age. (Max)

The Witcher — The first five episodes of Season 3 find monster-killer Geralt (Henry Cavill) having to put aside his trademark detachment and confront life’s harsh emotional realities. And speaking of harsh realities, this is the last season for Cavill, who thought bailing from the series would be easy with Superman as a parachute. Learn more about the situation in my upcoming

Hollywood tell-all, Everything Zack Snyder Touches Dies. (Netflix)

PREMIERES FRIDAY:

Celebrity — Becoming an overnight sensation on social media proves to have deadly consequences in the latest provocative K-drama. Among its other diversions, the show will feature an appearance by Yuqi of (G)I-DLE, one of the biggest girl groups in K-pop. Wow, one more “K” and this show would qualify to review history textbooks in Florida. (Netflix)

Is It Cake, Too? — Season 2 invites more intrepid bakers to create cakes that look exactly like household objects, like handbags and athletic shoes. I’d like to see a cake made to resemble a Roomba, but you’d have to have the guts to include the essential ingredient of cat puke. (Netflix)

Nimona — Chloë Grace Moretz voices the title character in this animated feature about a shapeshifting teen who helps a disgraced knight clear his name. “A consistent delight,” says The Hollywood Reporter. “You can’t just shift your shape!” says J.K. Rowling. (Netflix)

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan — John Krasinski’s Jack becomes acting deputy director of the CIA in the show’s fourth and final season. Wow, that’s a very slow climb to not very high at all. Mike Pompeo was director, and all he had to do was two seasons as a cabana boy on Temptation Island. (Prime Video)

PREMIERES SATURDAY:

One Piece — The arrival of the seasons “Thriller Bark” and “TV Original 2” adds 55 more episodes to Netflix’s library of anime adventures adapted from the most popular manga in history. Some fans believe it has even outsold the Bible — which isn’t remotely close to true, but isn’t it nice to see Jesus on the defensive for a change? (Netflix)

PREMIERES SUNDAY:

Etheria Film Night 2023 — Entries in the 10th annual festival of horror, science fiction and fantasy films made by women will stream through the end of the month. Also going on until the end of the month: Dudebros clogging up the Etheria and Shudder Twitter feeds with “What is a woman?” (Shudder)

PREMIERES MONDAY:

Unknown: The Lost Pyramid — The first in a quartet of scientifically minded documentaries shadows rival archaeologists as they race to unearth the secrets of ancient Egypt. According to the rules of streaming, the first one to prove Cleopatra was Black gets a development deal. (Netflix)

PREMIERES TUESDAY:

The King Who Never Was — Revisit the rough times and controversial life of Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Naples, who has over the years been accused of murder, criminal association, racketeering, conspiracy, corruption and exploitation of prostitution. This docuseries has answers to any question you might have, including the obvious one: “Naples Italy or Naples Florida?” (Netflix)

LOUD IS THE NEW QUIET

Is this the end? Monolithic metal legends Godflesh finally play Orlando

BY MATTHEW MOYER

While Nero fiddled, Rome burned. And as the world burns in 2023, Godflesh similarly soundtrack the carnage with new song “Nero.”

The legendary U.K. industrial-metal duo — neither of those words seems adequate to sum up Godflesh’s monolithic and hypnotic sound — of Justin K. Broadrick and Ben Green at last broke a lengthy silence that stretched back to 2017’s Post Self album.

Godflesh have always been a band very much in tune with our increasing race towards the apocalypse, but somehow “post-pandemic” and heatpocalypse summer 2023, “Nero” hits a little harder. The sound is classic Godflesh, evoking the rhythmic self-immolation of Pure, where the nominal tools of the metal trade were lashed to tweaked-out drum programming, all toward the ends of submission rather than dominance — an acknowledgement of fragility and vulnerability in the face of (now, near-certain) oblivion.

The day “Nero” was released back in April, improbably, Godflesh announced a North American tour. Even more improbably, this tour includes a Florida date in Orlando at Conduit. (And no NYC show!)

If one is tempted to impose metaphorical meaning on the simplest of gestures, Godflesh materializing in cities across the U.S. feels more than a little like the Four Horsemen coming to check the scene.

And since the end times require good music, Godflesh just released their first new album in years, the aptly named Purge. Besides existing as a standalone song cycle of overwhelming beauty and hurt, it’s doubly intriguing for its conceptual underpinnings.

Purge is Broadrick’s attempt to use his music as a “temporary relief from his diagnosed autism and PTSD” (which brings the tortured howls of, say, “Land Lord” into sharper focus). Purge is also a sequel to Godflesh’s breakthrough album, Pure. Released in 1992, the album had a seismic impact on the metal and alternative worlds. This album was Godflesh at, yes, their most pure. Broadrick and Green revisiting those tools, techniques and emotions for Purge (even the implicit wordplay in the title) are an irresistible proposition, and more than borne out by the finished Purge. Mantric guitar and bass, distorted to hell but in telepathic sync, locked in to a drum machine full of deconstructed boom-bap rap and house-music percussion loops, make for irresistible listening.

What’s that, you want another full-circle note, but make it localized? How about this: In summer 1992, Godflesh were supposed to open for Skinny Puppy at the Edge in Orlando. For whatever reason, it didn’t happen. Now, several decades later, Godflesh will play songs from Pure’s sequel in Florida. Give up and give in.

LOCAL RELEASES

This double shot of Jeff Ilgenfritz is apropos given the current rate of output for the Orlando music scene doyen. If his return with new projects Corvus, Incorporated in 2020 and Florida Slang in 2021 was Ilgenfritz getting back up to speed, this latest one-two combo within a month’s span is him going supersonic.

First, Ilgenfritz unveiled a historical release last month as The Real Fritz with 10-song debut album All In Now. For the myriad bands he’s been in over the past two decades, only now is he finally stepping out with a solo debut. Of course, in Ilgenfritz’s case, solo means not only writing everything but also playing every note himself.

Ilgenfritz’s sound is by now well-known since he’s often been the primary force in his various projects, and The Real Fritz is a natural extension of that rather than a novel new chapter. All In Now is a continuation of his bright indie pop with folk and baroque flourishes, albeit with a notably more pensive tone tempering his usual boyish incandescence.

More than anything, The Real Fritz singularly embodies what scene insiders have long known: that Jeff Ilgenfritz is a fully self-contained force of song. Released by Orlando’s Post Records, All In Now now streams everywhere, but it’s also available on Illuminated Paths as a very limited cassette release.

The other Ilgenfritz-related project to emerge is perhaps even more groundbreaking. Brand-new band Great Graves is a much more serious return to punk for Ilgenfritz than his fun projects like Moonmen From Mars and the Mumpsy Misfits cover album. On their just-released debut — a self-titled five-track EP — Great Graves reveal a hard-

core sound rich in emotional intensity and sonic complexity.

Besides Ilgenfritz — who played guitar, drums and synths on the record — the credentialed trio also features bassist Daniel Orr (American Party Machine) and vocalist Nick Sprysenski (The Punching Contest, Crutch & the Giant Junshi). Together, they mine hardcore’s more interesting and intelligent edges to forge something that’s as expressive as it is fierce.

Much of that emotional range comes from Sprysenski, who’s making an overdue return after many years. In outstanding 2000s band The Punching Contest, he roared with post-hardcore explosiveness. In subsequent solo vehicle Crutch & the Giant Junshi, he bared his scarred folk soul. In Great Graves, Sprysenski is finally able to merge these two powerful sides of his cutting, visceral voice into a stunning duality.

A ferocious convergence of emotion, dynamics and melody, Great Graves are easily one of the most exciting and fresh Orlando bands to emerge this year. Also

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

Bed Bug Guru, Seagate, Way Out, Jewel Gut, Midhouse: This one’s for you forward-looking heads who are forever on the hunt for fresh new talent. It’s a panFlorida showcase comprised entirely of indie-rock bands that are young, under-theradar and, most importantly, promising.

Of particular note are a couple of acts from the north. The big hooks and fat fuzz of Gainesville’s Bed Bug Guru rock like a hazier, heavier Surfer Blood. Jacksonville’s Seagate specialize in fried garage rock with a sweet, woozy aura. Locally, look out for the charged, jangly indie rock of Way Out.

Rounding out the bill will be Orlando indie rockers Midhouse and the debut of Miami’s Jewel Gut. (7 p.m. Friday, June 30, Stardust Video & Coffee, $10-$12)

Laid Back Country Picker, Big Jef Special: Anyone who takes their stage name from a Waylon song is worth consideration, especially if that act is underground cult figure Laid Back Country Picker.

Despite the easygoing moniker, this Kentucky persona is a rollicking country caricature capable of turning out burning guitar licks like goddamn lightning bolts. Add in his wife, Honey — who plays drums dressed in a house coat, curlers and shades — and you’ve got something like the Southern Culture on the Skids edition of the White Stripes.

It’s the kind of twisted and clever Deep South burlesque that might make J.D. Wilkes smirk. This one will be special. (8 p.m. Sunday, July 2, Will’s Pub, $15) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Beetlejuice

The musical reimagining of Beetlejuice has become a spooktacular sensation that captivated audiences on Broadway and is currently running at the Dr. Phillips Center. Inspired by Tim Burton’s beloved 1988 film, the production follows the recently deceased Adam and Barbara Maitland as they navigate the afterlife and attempt to haunt their former house, crossing paths with the titular Beetlejuice, a charismatic bio-exorcist with a knack for the supernatural (and a taste for stripes) who is a little too eager to “assist” the Maitlands in their ghostly misadventures. The role of Beetlejuice is played by Broadway lifer Justin Collette (School of Rock, Rock of Ages). Joining him is Isabella Esler, as the Maitlands’ gothy daughter, Lydia. Under the direction of Alex Timbers, Beetlejuice the Musical, the Musical, the Musical brings the iconic characters and twisted world of Burton’s film to life on stage. See it three times even!

Ensemble Quelconque

Audubon Park bookstore Joybird keeps the doors open late this weekend for a combo “book browsing” and avant-garde music event. Headliners Ensemble Quelconque are a newer project that we’ve not seen yet and who seem to have tabula-rasa’d their Bandcamp, so it’s all new to us. But we have it on good authority that there will be prepared piano and gong-bowing (a la Tatsuya Nakatani) employed. Derek Dunn will provide more-than-able musical support with a set that promises to incorporate acoustic guitar, synth and bowed cymbal/percussion. While his experiments with the latter two are great, his acoustic playing is a thing of wonder, a pure and unhurried John Fahey evocation. Get there early. 7 p.m., Joybird Books, 3018 Corrine Drive, facebook. com/joybirdbooks, free. — Matthew Moyer

Uncomfortable Brunch: The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover

Nothing goes together like transgressive cinema and eggs benny (bear with us here) … especially when the film in question is the stylish 1989 crime flick The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover The film takes place in a chic London restaurant, Le Hollandais (see!), co-owned by a loathsome gangster (Michael Gambon) who holds court there every night, attended by his resentful wife (Helen Mirren in high-glam Gaultier) and thuggish minions. Upon its release in 1989, it was practically a blockbuster by arthouse measures, and introduced director Peter Greenaway to wider American audiences. This one’s not streaming anywhere, kiddies, and it’s even fairly difficult to procure on Blu-ray, so this is a do-notmiss edition of Josh Martin and company’s stillgoing-strong Uncomfortable Brunch series.

Whether or not you’re in the patriotic mood this year, Fourth of July is still a great opportunity to kick back with a hot dog and soak up some good old-fashioned American vibes. This year, firework viewing spots are sure to fill up, so plan accordingly to make sure you have the chance to ooh! and ahh! at some of these explosive festivities.

Here are all the fireworks shows and July 4th celebration events going on in the Orlando area this year.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Hexes nullified! Jinxes abolished! Demons banished! Adversaries outwitted! Liabilities diminished! Bad habits replaced with good habits! These are some of the glorious developments possible for you in the coming months, Cancerian. Am I exaggerating? Maybe a little. But if so, not much. In my vision of your future, you will be the embodiment of a lucky charm and a repository of blessed mojo. You are embarking on a phase when it will make logical sense to be an optimist. Can you sweep all the dross and mess out of your sphere? No, but I bet you can do at least 80 percent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the book Curious Facts in the History of Insects, Frank Cowan tells a perhaps legendary story about how mayors were selected in the medieval Swedish town of Hurdenburg. The candidates would set their chins on a table with their long beards spread out in front of them. A louse, a tiny parasitic insect, would be put in the middle of the table. Whichever beard the creature crawled to and chose as its new landing spot would reveal the man who would become the town’s new leader. I beg you not to do anything like this, Leo. The decisions you and your allies make should be grounded in good evidence and sound reason, not blind chance. And please avoid parasitical influences completely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I rebel against the gurus and teachers who tell us our stories are delusional indulgences that interfere with our enlightenment. I reject their insistence that our personal tales are distractions from our spiritual work. Virgo author A.S. Byatt speaks for me: “Narration is as much a part of human nature as breath and the circulation of the blood.” I love and honor the stories of my own destiny, and I encourage you to love and honor yours. Having said that, I will let you know that now is an excellent time to jettison the stories that feel demoralizing and draining — even as you celebrate the stories that embody your genuine beauty. For extra credit: Tell the soulful stories of your life to anyone who is receptive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the Mayan calendar, each of the 20 day names is associated with a natural phenomenon. The day called Kawak is paired with rainstorms. Ik’ is connected with wind and breath. Kab’an is earth, Manik’ is deer and Chikchan is the snake. Now would be a great time for you to engage in an imaginative exercise inspired by the Mayans. Why? Because this is an ideal phase of your cycle to break up your routine, to reinvent the regular rhythm, to introduce innovations in how you experience the flow of the time. Just for fun, why not

give each of the next 14 days a playful nickname or descriptor? This Friday could be Crescent Moon, for example. Saturday might be Wonderment, Sunday can be Dazzle Sweet and Monday, Good Darkness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): From 998 till 1030, Scorpio-born leader Mahmud Ghaznavi ruled the vast Ghaznavid empire, which stretched from current-day Iran to central Asia and northwestern India. Like so many of history’s strong men, he was obsessed with military conquest. Unlike many others, though, he treasured culture and learning. You’ve heard of poet laureates? He had 400 of them. According to some tales, he rewarded one wordsmith with a mouthful of pearls. In accordance with astrological omens, I encourage you to be more like the Mahmud who loved beauty and art and less like the Mahmud who enjoyed fighting. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to fill your world with grace and elegance and magnificence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): About 1,740 years ago, before she became a Catholic saint, Margaret of Antioch got swallowed whole by Satan, who was disguised as a dragon. Or so the old story goes. But Margaret was undaunted. There in the beast’s innards, Margaret calmly made the sign of the cross over and over with her right hand. Meanwhile, the wooden cross in her left hand magically swelled to an enormous size that ruptured the beast, enabling her to escape. After that, because of her triumph, expectant mothers and women in labor regarded Margaret as their patron saint. Your upcoming test won’t be anywhere near as demanding as hers, Sagittarius, but I bet you will ace it — and ultimately garner sweet rewards.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricornborn Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) was an astronomer and mathematician who was an instrumental innovator in the Scientific Revolution. Among his many breakthrough accomplishments were his insights about the laws of planetary motion. Books he wrote were crucial forerunners of Isaac Newton’s theories about gravitation. But here’s an unexpected twist: Kepler was also a practicing astrologer who interpreted the charts of many people, including three emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. In the spirit of Kepler’s ability to bridge seemingly opposing perspectives, Capricorn, I invite you to be a paragon of mediation and conciliation in the coming weeks. Always be looking for ways to heal splits and forge connections. Assume you have an extraordinary power to blend elements that no one can else can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Dear Restless Runaway: During the next 10

months, life will offer you these invitations. No. 1: Identify the land that excites you and stabilizes you. No. 2: Spend lots of relaxing time on that land. No. 3: Define the exact nature of the niche or situation where your talents and desires will be most gracefully expressed. No. 4: Take steps to create or gather the family you want. No. 5: Take steps to create or gather the community you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’d love you to be a deep-feeling freethinker in the coming weeks. I will cheer you on if you nurture your emotional intelligence as you liberate yourself from outmoded beliefs and opinions. Celebrate your precious sensitivity, dear Pisces, even as you use your fine mind to reevaluate your vision of what the future holds. It’s a perfect time to glory in rich sentiments and exult in creative ideas.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Visionary author Peter McWilliams wrote, “One of the most enjoyable aspects of solitude is doing what you want when you want to do it, with the absolute freedom to change what you’re doing at will. Solitude removes all the ‘negotiating’ we need to do when we’re with others.” I’ll add a caveat: Some of us have more to learn about enjoying solitude. We may experience it as a loss or deprivation. But here’s the good news, Aries — in the coming weeks, you will be extra inspired to cultivate the benefits that come from being alone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The 18thcentury French engineer Étienne Bottineau invented nauscopy, the art of detecting sailing ships at a great distance, well beyond the horizon. This was before the invention of radar. Bottineau said his skill was not rooted in sorcery or luck, but from his careful study of changes in the atmosphere, wind and sea. Did you guess that Bottineau was a Taurus? Your tribe has a special capacity for arriving at seemingly magical understandings by harnessing your sensitivity to natural signals. Your intuition thrives as you closely observe the practical details of how the world works. This superpower will be at a peak in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to a Welsh proverb, “Three fears weaken the heart: fear of the truth; fear of the devil; fear of poverty.” I suspect the first of those three is most likely to worm its way into your awareness during the coming weeks. So let’s see what we can do to diminish its power over you. Here’s one possibility: Believe me when I tell you that even if the truth’s arrival is initially disturbing or disruptive, it will ultimately be healing and liberating. It should be welcomed, not feared.

I got married in 2001. Our sex life was mostly fine, but it was always a little weird because I’m the only woman he’d ever been with — not only sexually, but in a relationship at all. I was 23, he was 30. We bought a house, had a couple of kids, etc., and our sex life settled into a great groove for a couple of years after the second kid was born. But in 2017 it hit the skids. He started having ED problems, but when I’d try to talk about it, he’d get angry and defensive. I tried to rewrite the sexual script, but that never worked. Finally in the fall of 2021, I made an appointment for marriage counseling. We were making progress at first, but then I realized that all he wanted to do was bitch about his job and his in-laws. He never came to me to initiate sex or conversations about sex, I had to do all the emotional labor around the issue, and it was like trying to clap with one hand.

I felt like I was watching a slow-motion train wreck with echoes of your column in the back of my mind. All the things: increasing emotional distance, my own lack of desire because I feel like I’d just get shot down again, my deteriorating sense of self-worth. In the end the thing that was the most painful wasn’t the lack of sex, it was our total inability to talk about the lack of sex. He refused to discuss it. Or he’d say he wanted sex but then do nothing about it or, even worse, sabotage my efforts. In one of our last sessions, our marriage counselor pushed him on the medications for ED. He said he would make an appointment but never did.

The lack of sex was like a cancer that rotted out the core of my marriage. On the outside everything was great, we got along, we worked well together, and we were excellent co-parents. But inside I was dying. I couldn’t cheat; I’m too introverted for that. So the rejections and hits to my self-esteem kept coming. My mental health deteriorated, but I couldn’t talk to him about that either.

Anyway, I ended it in February of this year. I now live with my mom about two miles down the road. And now we get along like good friends. We continue to co-parent well, we work together, all that. Once I removed “marriage expectations” from the relationship, turns out he’s great! A really good and helpful friend! I now suspect he wanted out but couldn’t do the “end it” bit, so I had to be the bad guy. I’m spending a lot of time in therapy but it’s still hard. I mean, it’s way better now because I don’t want to “un-alive” myself anymore (as the kids say these days), but I still have a lot of grief.

I’ve been reading your column since I was a teenager. I wanted to let you know that all the stuff you’ve said about a situation where in a monogamous marriage one partner stops wanting to have sex is 100% true. It was so strange to know in the back of my head exactly what was happening to me and my marriage but also not feel like I could do anything about it. I suspect you hear this type of thing on the regular.

Tried Everything And Regret Staying

This is going to sound random, TEARS, but bear with me: There’s this meme that flies around whenever a man does something stupid — it’s in constant circulation —that you’ve probably seen: “Men will literally [X] instead of going to therapy.”

Well, a tortured and not very funny version of that meme kept popping into my head while I was reading your very long letter: “Straight people will literally do anything to save their marriages — including going to therapy — but not fuck other people.”

I don’t blame you for leaving your husband, TEARS, and if anyone is to blame for the collapse of your marriage, it’s him. Constant sexual rejection can lay waste to a person’s self-esteem, particularly when we’re rejected by someone with whom we once enjoyed a strong sexual connection. Being left to wonder what the fuck is wrong can leave a person feeling terrible about their normal and healthy sexual desires even years after a sexless relationship ends. Your husband owed you an explanation, at the very least, and he couldn’t even give you that.

But a crazy thing happened once you left him: Once you accepted that you couldn’t make the sex work and stopped trying — which you only did after you tried almost everything (spicing things up, taking the initiative, finding a couples counselor) — suddenly everything that worked about your marriage came into focus. You started to get along again. You realized you still enjoyed his company. You could appreciate parenting with him. Once you removed your “marriage expectations” from the equation, once you dropped your sexual expectations, you could suddenly see — using your words here — that the man you married was still pretty great.

Don’t get me wrong, TEARS: Your sexual expectations were perfectly reasonable. But we expect a lot from marriage-as-an-institution these days — perhaps too much.

“Never before have our expectations of marriage taken on such epic proportions,”

writes psychotherapist and bestselling author Esther Perel. “We still want everything the traditional family was meant to provide — security, respectability, property, and children — but now we also want our partner to love us, to desire us, to be interested in us. We should be best friends and trusted confidants, and passionate lovers to boot.”

When our marriages fail to live up to every last one of our expectations — and no marriage lives up to every expectation — what do we then? It’s a question all married people face at some point. When our marriages fall short, when the person we married fails to meet or ceases to meet an important need, we have two options: We can adjust our expectations and make accommodations and allowances accordingly, TEARS, or we can end our marriages.

This is a long way of me saying … I think there was an accommodation you could’ve asked of your husband. You say you’ve been reading me for a long time, TEARS, so I’m a little disappointed that it didn’t occur to at least try adjusting your “marriage expectations” before you left. I’m not talking about cheating — you say you’re too introverted for cheating — but getting permission from your husband to get sex elsewhere. Since everything else was working (you get along, enjoy each other’s company, you parent well together), maybe the one thing you ruled out — fucking other people — was the thing that could’ve saved your marriage.

You’re not the first person I’ve heard from over the last 30 years with the same story: a sexless marriage, conflict, misery, counseling until someone walks out — usually the one who misses sex — and then everything that was good about the relationship, all the reasons you might want to stay in the marriage, come into focus. Once the conflict over sex is removed, the relationship flourishes again.

Now, sexual incompatibility is a perfectly legitimate reason to end a sexual relationship, TEARS. Monogamy is important to many

people, and some people would rather start over trying to find someone new — not easy for an introvert — than give ethical nonmonogamy a chance. But more people might be inclined to give ethical non-monogamy a chance, and more marriages might be saved, if couples counselors, sex therapists and sexadvice columnists didn’t insist that sexless marriages are a problem that can always be solved. Date nights, scheduled sex, pot edibles and wine are great, but they’re not going to turn someone who still loves you but doesn’t wanna fuck you into someone who loves you and does wanna fuck you. (I recently saw a post by a sex therapist on Instagram extolling the benefits of scheduled sex — anticipation fuels desire! — but scheduling sex with someone who doesn’t wanna fuck you isn’t gonna fill that person with desire. It’s not anticipation they’re going to feel, it’s dread — dreading the sex they don’t want to have, and dreading the disappointment they’re going to inflict.)

There may have been too much damage done to save your marriage — too much rejection over too many years, too few answers, too little effort — but many marriages become more-or-less companionate over time than anyone seems willing to acknowledge. (Well, anyone other than Amy Schumer in her new stand-up special on Netflix.) If we expected sexlessness in our marriages eventually and set our marital expectations accordingly, TEARS, those of us who are still fucking our spouses 20 years in would be pleasantly surprised, and those of us who hadn’t fucked our spouses in years might feel less betrayed and devastated. And if we could wrap our heads around the kinds of accommodations that could make a sexless marriage less unbearable — some license, some leeway, some safe and discreet outlets — more good, loving and decent marriages like yours might survive.
