Supreme Court ruling adds fuel to Florida abortion battles The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Friday to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling drew fiercely polarized reactions in Florida, with Gov. Ron DeSantis saying the state will “work to expand pro-life protections.” The decision, authored by Justice Samuel Alito and backed by the court’s conservative majority, had been expected after a draft opinion was leaked in May. It came a week before a new Florida law is scheduled to take effect that would prevent women from having abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Abortion-rights supporters are fighting the Florida law (HB 5), with a Leon County circuit judge scheduled to hear arguments this week in a request for a temporary injunction to block it. Abortion clinics and a doctor are challenging the law under a privacy clause in the Florida Constitution. DeSantis, who signed the law in April, issued a statement on Twitter praising Friday’s Supreme Court ruling, saying the “prayers of millions have been answered.” “Florida will continue to defend its recently-enacted pro-life reforms against state court challenges, will work to expand pro-life protections, and will stand for life by promoting adoption, foster care and child welfare,” DeSantis said in the Twitter post. Senate President Wilton Simpson, R-Trilby, also praised the decision. “As an adopted child myself, I am grateful for this decision. The court is finally righting a grievous wrong,” Simpson, who is running for state agriculture commissioner, said. But Democrats and other abortion-rights supporters blasted the ruling as an attack on reproductive rights. State Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book, D-Plantation, predicted that Republicans could seek an “all-out” abortion ban in Florida. “With Florida Republicans cruelly proving their appetite for robbing women and girls victimized by the horrific trauma of rape, incest, and human trafficking of their right to an abortion after 15 weeks — period, end of sentence, no exceptions — it is clearly only a matter of time before our state also debates an all-out abortion ban,” Book said. Representative Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, said, “This is a devastating blow to our collective freedom as women and Americans. And it follows a clear and consistent Republican effort to end the right to abortions. We have never lost a constitutional right, and now must make sure that Republicans at every level of government feel the consequences of stripping away our rights and freedoms. … We cannot forget that this fight goes beyond abortion, this decision is tied to other freedoms we have fought for, including same-sex marriage and access to contraception. Though this is a major loss for gender equity and a horrific win for extreme conservatism, we must remember that here in Florida, abortion is still legal. We must remember that Floridians overwhelmingly want abortion to remain legal. We must take these fights with us into the upcoming midterm elections while we continue to support local abortion providers and funds. “This is not the time to shrink or surrender. The antidote to despair is action.”

approved COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months old. Publix has had an integral role in the initial distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine in Florida. The supermarket chain has more than 1,200 stores in seven Southern states, but the bulk —more than 800 — belong to the Sunshine State. A spokesperson for Publix told the Tampa Bay Times the supermarket chain “will not offer the vaccine approved for children ages 4 and under ‘at this time.’” The approach toward the new vaccines tracks with Tallahassee. Florida is the only state that didn’t pre-order the recently approved COVID-19 vaccine for children before the FDA and CDC approved it for emergency use, and Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo recommended against vaccinating otherwise healthy children. According to its website, Publix is still accepting COVID-19 vaccine appointments for children ages 5 and older. The company also offers other child vaccinations, including the flu shot for children as young as 6 months old. Other major pharmacies have begun their vaccination distribution for younger kids: CVS is administering COVID-19 vaccines for those aged 18 months and above, while Walgreens is offering the Pfizer and Moderna shots to children aged 3 years and older, according to their website.

DeSantis vetoes bill that would have allowed businesses to sue cities for lost profits A controversial measure that would have given businesses power to sue cities and counties to recoup lost profits was among five bills that Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed Friday. While the veto of the business measure drew praise from local-government and environmental groups, DeSantis left open the door for lawmakers to consider similar, but more targeted, legislation in the future. DeSantis on Friday also signed 32 bills that passed during the legislative session that ended in March. They included a bill that will allow cities and counties to restrict smoking at beaches and parks that they own and a pandemic-related measure that will prevent emergency orders “directly or indirectly” blocking religious institutions from conducting services or activities. In addition to the business bill, DeSantis’ vetoes included nixing a highprofile measure that would have revamped the state’s alimony laws.

Disney promises to cover abortion travel costs for employees The Walt Disney Company said it would cover travel expenses for its employees seeking an abortion in states where abortion is restricted. The news came after the Supreme Court released a ruling on Friday that overturned the constitutional right to an abortion in the United States. That ruling triggered complete abortion bans and the immediate closure of abortion clinics in many states. “We recognize the impact of the ruling and that we remain committed to providing comprehensive access to quality and affordable care for all of our employees, cast members and their families, including family planning and reproductive care, no matter where they live,” Disney told the Washington Post. Disney is one of several companies that have announced plans to cover travel costs for employees who live in states where abortions are illegal. Lauren Hobart, the CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods, said that her company would provide $4,000 in travel assistance for employees seeking abortions in a post to her LinkedIn. “This benefit will be provided to any teammate, spouse or dependent enrolled in our medical plan, along with one support person,” she wrote. Disney’s announcement is its latest high-profile clash with conservative politics. The company and its parks ran afoul of Florida Republicans earlier this year for criticizing the state’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law. That move resulted in GOP lawmakers stripping Walt Disney World of its independent governmental status in retaliation, as well as a series of GOP protests outside the park’s gates.

NEW NE WS In this release responding to the Florida outbreak, the CDC urges those in known risk groups to get the meningococcal disease vaccine. Meningococcal disease: Very serious, often deadly The two most common types of meningococcal infections are meningitis (an infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord) and bloodstream infection, both of which can quickly become deadly. Seek medical care right away if you have symptoms. Symptoms of meningococcal disease can first appear as a flu-like illness and rapidly worsen.

Serogroup C outbreak among men who have sex with men

Gay men and college students are the most at-risk groups in Florida for meningococcal disease.

MENINGITIS RAVAGES GAY FLORIDA MEN

At least seven deaths have been recorded in Florida from meningococcal disease, in one of the worst outbreaks in U.S. history BY DIANE RA DO AND I SSAC M OR G A N , F LOR I DA P H O E N I X

T

he federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week reported at least seven deaths among gay and bisexual men from the serious meningococcal disease outbreak in Florida and at least 24 cases of the disease. The agency described the situation in a news release as “one of the worst outbreaks of meningococcal disease among gay and bisexual men in U.S. history.” While the CDC referenced those figures last Wednesday, data from the Florida Department of Health showed 44 cases of the disease in 16 counties in Florida as of Wednesday. It’s not clear, though, if those 44 cases include deaths from the disease. The news release last Wednesday afternoon was published by CDC media relations. The state health department is overseen by Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo. The Florida Phoenix contacted the state department of health several times to get information about the meningococcal deaths, but Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern has not responded. The state health department’s website doesn’t show anything about the deaths. And the agency’s Twitter feed doesn’t mention the deaths either, leaving Floridians in the dark on this disease. The federal agency states that “meningococcal disease can lead to meningitis (infection and swelling of the lining of the brain and spinal cord) and septicemia (infection of the bloodstream).” In the CDC’s news release, José R. Romero, M.D., Director, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said, “Getting vaccinated against meningococcal disease is the best way to prevent this serious illness, which can quickly become deadly. … Because of the outbreak in Florida, and the number of Pride events being held across the state in coming weeks, it’s important that gay and bisexual men who live in Florida get vaccinated, and those traveling to Florida talk to their healthcare provider about getting a MenACWY vaccine.” That said, the CDC made clear in the news release that “meningococcal disease can affect anyone and can be deadly.”

Data from the 44 cases from the Florida health department show that Orange County, in the Orlando area, has the largest number of cases, at 13. The other cases are located in Alachua (1 case), Brevard (2), Broward (2), Collier (1), Duval (1), Hardee (1), Hillsborough (1), Lake (3), Lee (4), Leon (3), Miami-Dade (3), Osceola (1), Palm Beach (1), Polk (4) and Seminole (3). Meanwhile, the state health department in Orange County “has been actively engaged in prevention and vaccination efforts to contain the rise of meningococcal cases in the county,” said Kent Donahue, a spokesman from the Orange County health department. “To date, DOH-Orange (County) has participated in 66 community outreach events since February 2022,” Donahue told the Florida Phoenix in an email, adding that it “has provided prevention and vaccination messages to community partners and local medical providers.” The spokesman for the state health department in Orange County did not provide any details about deaths due to the meningococcal disease. Although cases of meningococcal disease have been identified in various age groups, state data show, more young residents have been infected, as of Wednesday. For instance, the most cases (8) have been reported among the 30-34 age group, followed by six cases each identified in age groups of 20-24 and 25-29, as well as five cases among the 35-39 age group. The CDC states that a meningococcal vaccine can be found at a doctor’s office, pharmacy, community health center or local health department. “In Florida, anyone can get a MenACWY vaccine at no cost at any county health department during the outbreak,” the CDC said in the press release. Symptoms of meningococcal disease include fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea/vomiting, or a dark purple rash and the disease can spread “by sharing respiratory and throat secretions (saliva or spit),” the CDC noted. This story ran first at the Florida Phoenix news website.

There is a large, ongoing outbreak of serogroup C meningococcal disease in Florida, primarily among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, including those living with HIV. Recent data show that about half of the cases associated with this outbreak are among Hispanic men. This outbreak is mostly affecting people who live in Florida but has also affected some people who have traveled to Florida. — MenACWY vaccination offers the best protection. In response to the serogroup C outbreak in Florida, CDC is encouraging gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (with or without HIV) to: • Get a MenACWY vaccine if they live in Florida • Talk with their healthcare provider about getting a MenACWY vaccine if they are traveling to Florida. Ideally, people would get vaccinated with one dose (or the 2-dose series for people with HIV) at least 2 weeks before traveling.

CDC is also emphasizing the importance of routine MenACWY vaccination for people with HIV. For the best protection, people with HIV should make sure they have gotten their 2-dose primary series of a MenACWY vaccine and are up to date with booster doses.

Serogroup B cluster among college and university students

Leon County, Florida, also reports an unrelated serogroup B meningococcal disease cluster among college and university students. This cluster has only been reported to affect people living in Florida. — Serogroup B vaccination offers the best protection. In response to the serogroup B cluster in Florida, officials are recommending the following groups of college and university students in Leon County, Florida, consider getting a MenB vaccine series: • College and university undergraduate students • Students living in on-campus housing • Those who participate in a fraternity or sorority

‘BEING FEARFUL OF THE FUTURE’ The radical extremists fraudulently installed on the Supreme Court, a minority enforcing its whims on the American majority, don’t care about torching what little legitimacy they have left. They care only about furthering their ideological agenda BY JEFFREY C. BILLMAN

I

t’s possible that, by the time you read this, five extremists on the Supreme Court will have dismantled abortion rights by giving states the right to dictate women’s health care choices. [Editor’s note: They did; the decision was announced Friday, an hour after this column was filed.] A few hours before I wrote this, on the heels of a series of mass shootings, those same extremists — plus a chief justice who appears moderate only by comparison — ruled that the right to carry guns is so sacrosanct that it matters not whether states’ restrictions do silly things like save lives. In both cases, the majority will likely have drawn on erroneous (Justice Samuel Alito on abortion) and selective (Justice Clarence Thomas on guns) historical interpretations to wrap their ideological fanaticism in originalist flim-flam. The defining principle of contemporary jurisprudence, it seems, is that we’re stuck with whatever the 18th-century patriarchs who founded this country failed to envision — assault rifles, women not being their husband’s property, etc. — because “historical tradition” trumps not just democracy but common goddamn sense. “To justify its regulation,” Thomas wrote in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, “the government may not simply posit that the regulation promotes an important interest. Rather, the government must demonstrate that the regulation is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” To drive home how absurd this “historical tradition” rationale is: The New York gun law the Supreme Court struck down on Thursday is more than a century old. Roe v. Wade will die just short of its 50th birthday. The Supreme Court first recognized an individual’s right to own a gun for self-defense — not to carry a gun outside of the home, just to own it — in … 2008. As Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice, pointed out in the Washington Post: “In 1791, when the Second Amendment was ratified, New York City had 33,000 residents. Today it has more than 8 million. To me, as a resident of New York City, the notion that thousands or hundreds of thousands of people might be walking around armed, thinking themselves a ‘good guy with a gun,’ is, frankly, terrifying.” Justice Thomas, who hasn’t resigned despite his wife’s participation in Donald Trump’s coup attempt, shrugged that aside.

Dark clouds gather at the United States Supreme Court Building.

“It is true that people sometimes congregate in ‘sensitive places,’ and it is likewise true that law enforcement professionals are usually presumptively available in those locations,” Thomas wrote. “… [But] there is no historical basis for New York to effectively declare the island of Manhattan a ‘sensitive place’ simply because it is crowded and protected generally by the New York City Police Department.” Think about Thomas’ logic: New York can’t stop people from carrying guns in Manhattan just because Manhattan is already swarming with armed cops to protect masses of soft targets. Again, safety is secondary to Thomas’ belief that James Madison — who wrote the Second Amendment 44 years before the Colt revolver hit the market — didn’t mean anything by the words “well-regulated militia” but was fine with randos packing Glocks in Midtown. Make no mistake. This ruling will lead to preventable deaths. Bruen directly affects about a quarter of the country’s population — residents of New York and six states with similar concealed-carry laws. Coincidentally, they include the five states with the lowest per-capita rates of gun violence, as well as California (No. 7) and Maryland (No. 18). That’s not to say New York’s law didn’t have problems that needed to be addressed. As a group of the state’s public defenders explained: “New York enacted its firearm licensing requirement in the early 20th century to prevent immigrants and people of color from possessing guns. Since its enactment, the law has justified discriminatory policing and criminalization of Black and brown people living in urban low-income communities.” In more capable hands, the Court could have struck down New York’s law because of its discriminatory nature. But fighting discrimination doesn’t jibe with Thomas’ apparent goal of returning the United States to a time before flush toilets. The effect of Bruen doesn’t bother me as much as the reasoning that delivered it. Because as much as the majority tried

to minimize the scope of its radicalism — Alito: “All that we decide in this case is that the Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding people to carry a gun outside the home for self-defense” — the practical effect of Bruen’s “historical tradition” demands will eviscerate gun laws for decades to come. But the real takeaway from Bruen — and from Dobbs, the abortion case — is that the majority doesn’t care about torching what little legitimacy it has left. It cares only about furthering its ideological agenda. As I’ve mentioned before — as we should always mention when discussing this iteration of the Roberts Court — Republican presidents have won the popular vote once since 1988, yet they’ve appointed six of the Court’s nine justices. Democratic senators represented about 40 million more Americans than the Republicans who confirmed Trump’s appointees. A Court installed by a minority is enforcing the whims of the minority on the majority — claiming federalism when doing so is convenient, ignoring it when it’s not. In 1937, fresh off a landslide re-election but with a conservative Supreme Court blocking key elements of the New Deal, President Franklin Roosevelt told the American people, “We cannot yield our constitutional destiny to the personal judgment of a few men who, being fearful of the future, would deny us the necessary means of dealing with the present.” The court-packing plan he laid out in that radio address famously failed — though not entirely. Support collapsed only after court-packing became unnecessary; after FDR’s threat, the Court grew suddenly amenable to his reforms. There’s a lesson for modern Democrats watching a revanchist Court unravel a century of progress. So long as the Court’s radicals feel unassailable, the more radical they’ll become.

Mass resignations among creative staff at Garden Theatre, which has been in recent months a beacon of diversity and equity, raise questions about leadership

In the world of theater, it’s some-

times shocking how swiftly a fairy tale can transform into a nightmare. Only a few weeks ago, I was interviewing director Roberta Emerson about her multiracial reimagining of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at the Garden Theatre, a seat-filling example of the diversity and equity that seemed to be flourishing under artistic director Joseph Walsh. While I never had the chance to get to know Walsh personally during his three-year tenure, everyone I’ve spoken with — from Emerson and The Mountaintop director Felichia Chivaughn to Jason Horne, who helmed Ben-Hur in 2020 — was effusive about his efforts to create a safe, inclusive space for artists and staff. So it came as a shock to the theater community when Walsh’s sudden resignation was announced to Garden Theatre supporters in a message dated June 9 from board president Allie L. Braswell, Jr. “We are grateful for Joe’s contributions to Garden Theatre during his successful three-year tenure,” read the letter, which gave no reason for the unexpected move. “He has curated the upcoming season and will work closely with Rob and the Theatre to ensure a smooth transition. We thank Joe for his dedication and wish him success and happiness in his future endeavors.” Many members of the theater community learned about Walsh’s departure on June 10 through a widely shared Facebook post by DaZaria Harris, the Black actress who was acclaimed for her portrayal of Belle in the recent production. Calling the news “heartbreaking and infuriating,” Harris credited Walsh for his “vision of making The Garden and theaters everywhere be a place of safety, inclusion, support and love,” and directly pointed her finger at the “board directors at the Garden and their need to dictate the artistic direction of Joe and the people he led.” Harris’ post provoked a flood of online reaction, with an outpouring of support for Walsh from artists and patrons, as well as current and former employees. At least one, performer Cherry Gonzalez, reported having an “uncomfortable” confrontation with an unnamed board

member over rehearsal space that she called “dehumanizing.” (Becky Roper, the founding board member who owns the adjoining Roper Building that was built to support the theater, was contacted by email but unavailable for comment before press time.) Walsh himself declines to discuss any conflicts with the board on the record, as do other staff members — including artistic consultant Emerson, who supporters say should replace him — but he publicly thanked community members “for having the bravery to speak up, sharing your experiences at the Garden over the past few seasons and speaking your truth.” And in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel’s Matt Palm, Walsh pointed to the stress of working without the help of a permanent managing director — a position the Garden Theatre has been unable to retain since the revolving-door departures of Nao Tsurumaki, Melissa Mason Braillard and Elisa Spencer-Kaplan — as a key factor. The next blow came only a week later, when newly appointed interim artistic director Rob Winn Anderson — who led the theater for a decade prior to his retirement in 2019 — abruptly exited, citing low morale among the staff. That loss was soon followed by the revelation that Chivaughn and the majority of her creative team for A Bronx Tale, which was scheduled to open in August, had quit, causing the production’s cancellation. Furthermore, Chivaughn and Meka King, co-leaders of Central Florida Entertainment Advocacy (CFEA), vacated the seat they shared on the Garden Theatre’s board of directors, stating in their resignation letter that “our presence alone does not denote change, amplification, decision-making power or even valued input. We have learned that even in our presence, the same culture and spirit has continued to thrive among the board. … Through our engagement with the Board we realized that while we were given a seat at the table, we

were not truly given a voice. Oftentimes we went unheard and were never consulted to give guidance and perspective. We were overlooked and trust given instead to people outside of our industry and community. It became increasingly clear that the mission of creating and maintaining the safe, equitable, and inclusive spaces the staff worked so intentionally to build, did not appear to be the mission of all.” In their June 23 announcement of the resignations and cancellations, the Garden Theatre board said their “goal is to continue to work for a diverse and harmonious workplace” and promised to schedule a “listening session” between staff and several board members, facilitated by an “objective third-party expert.” They’ve also said that unspecified board members would transition to non-voting “emeritus” status “as a show of our good faith effort to find common ground.” Although the board insists that they are “committed to resolving these differences and bringing together all those who love theatre and specifically Garden Theatre,” each of their public statements only seems to have stoked the online ire. CFEA has countered, writing that they are “dissatisfied” with the board’s statement, and accused them of “continu[ing] to microagress and diminish the urgency of the concerns of this community and the Garden staff.” Without being an insider, it’s impossible for me to say who is to blame here. But no matter what happens, it’s beyond sad to see what was a shining beacon of progress in Orlando’s arts scene fall so swiftly from grace. I can only advise the board’s leadership to take a long look in the mirror and make the necessary changes before the City of Winter Garden — which legally owns the building — takes an interest in their turmoil. They can ask the folks at Orlando’s Mad Cow Theatre how well that might work out for them. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

ROLLS OFF THE TONGUE

JapAnatolia introduces us to su-chi, sushi-like rolls with a Turkish bite BY FAIYAZ KARA

E

rcument Demir spent a career jetting spiced bulgur. Much like sushi rice, Kurus around the world in a Boeing 777 as uses it as a base to form JapAnatolia’s su-chi a commercial airline pilot for Qatar rolls. The rolls also comprise flour tortillas, Airways, so it makes sense that his first foray cream cheese and mixed veggies, giving them into the world of food would fuse the cuisines a look and feel akin to pinwheels, only prettier. of disparate cultures. What’s a bit puzzling is Kurus crafts seven varieties, each with a that those cuisines are Japanese and Turkish. different exterior component — rare roast And that they’re being served inside a food beef ($8.90), mixed herbs ($8.90), avocourt. In a less-than-bustling shopping mall. In cado ($8.90), gouda ($8.90), Doritos Oviedo. It doesn’t exactly fit the mold of food- ($8.90), collards ($7.90) and the classic, with a tortilla court dining but, hey, shell ($7.90). the death of genre, or its Each has its disappearance, has been JAPANATOLIA own interior heralded across many 1600 Oviedo Mall Blvd., Oviedo customizations. creative forms, so why 407-542-3071 The rare roast not gastronomy? instagram.com/japanatoliafusion beef, for example, Here at JapAnatolia, $$ is flavored with the specialty is “su-chi.” horseradish sauce Before you go scoffing under your breath, know that the “chi” and pomegranate extract, while the colin “su-chi” refers to Turkish çig köfte (pro- lard roll is slicked with a bit of soy. Dill, nounced “chi kofta”) — a spiced beef tartare. parsley and mint lend the mixed herb roll What Demir and su-chi chef Cenk Kurus have a refreshing element, though, no matter your done is create a meatless version made from choice of fish-less roll, they’re all quite fill-

ing, so pace yourself. They even come with a pickled assortment of tomatoes, gherkins and peppers (no ginger with this su-chi). The rolls travel well and hold up nicely the following day too, so don’t feel the need to scarf. Not when there’s a slew of fresh-made cold appetizers to sample. Eleven are offered, and they’re all can’t-miss. If I had to choose four to make my own mezze plate ($9.90), I’d take the red lentil puree, smoked eggplant with tahini, and a couple of drained yogurt dips — one with sautéed shredded carrots, garlic, mayo and olive oil and another made from fermented beetroot, tahini, garlic and olive oil. Demir is quick to offer samples, so just ask, though you likely won’t have to. There are a couple of hot items offered as well — baked chicken in béchamel sauce ($8.99) and meatballs in a mushroom gravy ($8.99). Both are served with a small salad, rice and mashed potatoes, the latter pre-made. It’s old-time comfort fare, which I’m sure Oviedo’s old-timers will appreciate — though, I have to say, they’re a couple of odd additions. Then again, the pair of dishes only further cement JapAnatolia’s genre-defying approach to cookery. There are quite a few desserts offered as well, all made by Demir’s niece, Begum Karakaya, who honed her skills at Norman’s before working as a cook at Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York. No cronuts here, but who needs flaky, buttery pastries when there’s semolina lemon cake ($4.99) and rice pudding ($3.99)? I do, that’s who. That said, I’d get both of these sweet cappers again in a heartbeat. BTW: Karakaya makes the cold apps and the hot items as well. She also bakes fresh borek ($4.99) and other savory pastries yet, inexplicably, the line next door at Mooyah is longer. What JapAnatolia really needs is its own space, but Demir is taking a cautious approach and gauging reaction to the menu before making a more committed financial investment. If anything, a visit to JapAnatolia serves a dual purpose — to respect the diversity of one of the world’s great cuisines, and to pay respects to a once-great institution — the shopping mall. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

QUEST FOR FIRE Orlando ‘evilcore’ legends Bloodlet return (once again) after a lengthy slumber BY MAT THEW MOY ER

O

rlando “evilcore” — metalcore with just the right bit of pepper and spite sprinkled in — innovators Bloodlet made a surprise musical return a couple of weeks ago with the release of their first new song in two years, “Stealing Fire.” And “Stealing Fire” is just the herald of an exponential uptick in Bloodlet activity. The band are ending a long performing hiatus — their last show was with Miami’s sludge-gods Torche at Will’s Pub in February 2020 — to head out on the road with heavy peers Darkest Hour and Zao for an East Coast run. This isn’t the first “back-from-the-dead” moment from the Orlando metallic-hardcore legends. After a reign of terror that spanned most of the 1990s, producing albums like the 1996 classic Entheogen on Victory Records, the band would go into hibernation several times, emerging occasionally to play shows or release ever-more-ambitious albums, like the Steve Albini-produced Three Humid Nights in the Cypress Trees in 2002. Bloodlet last reconvened in 2017 and were going strong until the pandemic put the brakes on everything. Now an older and wiser Bloodlet is back, seemingly playing for keeps. Bloodlet start their roadwork in earnest this Friday with a hometown warm-up show at Will’s Pub. (Everything

comes full circle.) Though deeming it a “warm-up” is a slight misnomer, as the lineup is so damned intriguing — a past/present/future précis of Central Floridian heaviness boasting OG lunatics Gargamel! and feral young guns Meatwound and Horsewhip. From there it’s off on some solo East Coat/Midwest headlining dates and then the Darkest Hour tour. But let’s jump back to the surprise release of “Stealing Fire.” Musically and conceptually, “Stealing Fire” is evidence of reclusive time very well spent: a dizzying and oft-majestic three-minute crash and burn of tempos and riffs with lyrics based around the tale of Prometheus, the Titan who stole fire from the Greek gods — allowing humanity to flourish — and was punished in a gruesomely eternal fashion. “Lyrically, it just doesn’t get much more metal than that,” jokes Bloodlet vocalist Scott Angelacos. “I mean, my man was tied to a rock and had his liver eaten every night by an eagle, then it grew back and it would all happen again the next day.” “It’s definitely got elements of old Bloodlet, and I can hear riffs that would be totally at home on Entheogen, and totally at home on Three Humid Nights in the Cypress Trees. It’s also got some elements that are a little bit newer, some

of the sounds that we are moving towards,” says drummer Charles Wright. “And it’s a super fun song to play live.” The Will’s Pub show isn’t the only full-circle element of Bloodlet’s return to the stage. The dates with old friends Darkest Hour are themselves an attempt at picking up where things left off in 2020. “Right before everybody was locked down. I think our last shows with [Darkest Hour] were in January 2020,” says Angelacos. “They’re just trying to take over where they left off and they offered us a tour again.” The invitation from Darkest Hour occasioned a drastic shift in where the band had been directing their energies, as it turns out they’ve been slowly working on new material for an album. Their focus became rehearsing, practicing, regaining that telepathic connection a tight live band requires. “We’re really going back to being in the [practice] room, spending as much time in the room together as we can, and making sure that not only is the technical muscle memory there but that feeling of playing together every day,” explains Wright. “It feels like we’re firing on all cylinders now,” says Angelacos. “There’s a difference in our minds between just having a bunch of songs that you play, and having a cohesive set that feels like it belongs together and hits.” And what’s that about a new record? “It’s kind of hard to say where we’re at with it. We’ve stopped on the writing process, put it aside to get ready to go on the road. But I believe we have five or six songs demoed,” says Angelacos. “We’re getting pretty close. I don’t want us to lock ourselves into a timeline or anything,” says Wright of finishing the album. “But it’s less than a year away, I would think.” By the numbers, “Stealing Fire” is Bloodlet’s first single in roughly two years. And whenever this new record does see the light of day, it will be the band’s first full album in over 20 years. Is there any sort of weight of expectation? “I didn’t think about that until you brought it up!” exclaims Angelacos. “We definitely want to pay attention to who we were in the past and make sure that all those elements are still there. But we’re really trying to do our own thing and we’re trying to bring new elements into it and challenge ourselves.” “One of the blessings and curses of Bloodlet is that if you go back and listen to our catalog, every one of those albums is different from each other,” says Wright. “So when we have this conversation about what makes a Bloodlet song, it’s like ‘Well, which Bloodlet?’ Sometimes we’re punk rock and sometimes we have 11-minute songs and then other times we’re a mid-tempo rock band with shouted vocals. We’re all of those things.” Though it seems like a crapshoot — or defying the gods a la Prometheus? — for bands to make predictions on what the future holds, Bloodlet seems almost optimistic. “We’re really enjoying what we’re writing right now,” says Angelacos. “I’m looking forward to what we’re about to do with the tour and with the record.” “If I look into my crystal ball and say, ‘What does the future hold for Bloodlet?’ I think it’s going to be more shows, it’s going to be more albums,” says Wright. “Now that doesn’t necessarily mean an album a year or anything like that, but it’s certainly not going to be 20 years between this album and whatever comes next.”

THE BEAT

I wasn’t even going to write about this. But apparently, I’m inveterate. I was at the Kraftwerk concert (June 24, Dr. Phillips Center). It was my first show in over two years. The itch, of course, has been there all along. But there are life things more important than covering live music, and I’ve tried to stay as safe as I can for my nearest and dearest. However imprudent I myself feel it is to be “over” a pandemic that’s not over with us, things are getting back to business as usual. So I ventured out to this concert more covertly than I’ve done in nearly 20 years. I hadn’t planned on covering it at all. I didn’t line up press credentials or a photographer (thankfully, our trusty Jim Leatherman was already there). I didn’t even take the opportunity to make it an overdue social thing, save for the sole high-school pal I quietly made plans to go with. Returning after this much time and change in circumstance was fraught enough, so I wanted to go in with as little pressure as possible. I just wanted to go back as a music fan. In the complex calculus of personal considerations I’ve been weighing, this show was the one that I just could not let slip by. For one, it’s Kraftwerk, not just one of my own pet favorites but one of the most seminal, peerless and important music acts of all goddamn time. Furthermore, I never thought I’d get to see them. Their touring demand is worldwide and they’re not exactly road dogs. When their original Orlando date for summer 2020 became a COVID casualty, it seemed fate was against it, plain and simple.

Kraftwerk were breathtaking in a show that was a masterstroke of conceptual artistry, digital mystique and monolithic legend. Their famous 3-D show brought the group’s iconic aesthetic to life

why we keep doing it, why we’ll always keep doing it, no matter what.

NoCap

When listening to Alabama rapper NoCap, born Kobe Vidal Crawford, one gets the feeling he is already world-renowned hip-hop royalty like Lil Baby or Future. With a melodic voice and heavy beats, NoCap’s music is a perfect soundtrack for the summer, whether at a party or in the car with the stereo cranked. Collaborations with well-known producers like CashMoney AP have put NoCap on a collision course with maintream success. In 2019, his single “Ghetto Angels” went platinum, and he proudly displayed the plaque to a sold-out crowd at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC. His latest album, Mr. Crawford, came out this year, with features from big names like Kodak Black and Internet Money and a distinctly Southern sound that occasionally delves into subtle blues and gospel shades. 10 p.m., The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave., foundationpresents.com, $38-80. F R I D AY, J U LY 1

James Hype

British DJ, James Hype comes to Orlando, bringing his fresh take on EDM to hungry stateside audiences. If you’re a fan of EDM veteran Duke Dumont, give James Hype a chance; he has a huge following in Europe, reaching platinum status with hit-making remixes of songs by Rita Ora and Bruno Mars. In 2017, Hype reached No. 1 on the U.K. dance single charts with his song “More Than Friends.” After that, “Ferrari” racked up 45 million streams. At present Hype boasts 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify. His latest single, a remix of Claptone’s “Beautiful,” has already netted 400,000 streams. This is a must-see show for ravers of all ages. 9 p.m., The Vanguard, 578 N. Orange Ave., thevanguard. live, $19-39. S AT U R D AY, J U LY 2

Take a trip to the past as one of the most popular forms of mass entertainment returns to Orlando. Originating in the 1880s, vaudeville was the pop culture of its day, an eclectic showcase of live talent that enraptured audiences before movies and television whisked

them away; a typical vaudeville show would include everything from acrobatics to singing, dancing, magic and comedy. This evening will feature artists like Shelley Keelor, Michael Scott Ross and the LCO — a 35-piece orchestra led by Rick Kissinger, featuring some of Florida’s finest musicians. Be prepared for some cabaret moves and sounds that swing from jazz and klezmer to big-band and Broadway. After all, as once was said, anything goes in vaudeville. 7:30 p.m. Alexis and Jim Pugh Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $65-85.

Leatherette Orlando swamp-gothic quartet Leatherete are back, armed with smoky and moody new performance clip “Live at the Blue Motel” and ready to show off a clutch of new hymns from an upcoming album. The band are a cracking proposition live, usually in total Birthday Party drama/anguish mode — all tortured shapes and distorted twang. Opening are (actually) young, hungry and incredibly loud locals Fond and the Amphetamines, along with a special appearance by the spectral and bewitching Gainesvillian duo Room 13 — making their Orlando debut. This one’s worth the effort to brave the longweekend crowds. 8 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $10. S U N D AY, J U LY 3

Call In Dead

Ready to celebrate America?? No? Us either. If you’re not so much into the whole “Huzzah America and its omnipotent, theocrat Supreme Court!” thing happening the next day, why don’t you avail yourself of this smorgasbord of toplevel Floridian (and one Georgia band) hardcore, punk and sleazy rock? Headliners Call in Dead are going hard and socking toxic masculinity in the jaw with new single “Patriarchy,” and this will be a homecoming show after a pretty hectic run of East Coast tour dates. Call in Dead will be joined by Old Habits, Tv Generation, Horribles, Rotten Stitches and The Rottens. Oh, there will be fireworks and sweaty fun all right, guaranteed. You can find that at Lou’s any night without having to venture out to Lake Eola or Red Hot and Boom. 6 p.m., Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall, 1016 N. Mills Ave., $15.

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● JUNE 29-JULY 5, 2022 ● orlandoweekly.com


CANCER (June 21-July 22): Filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard believes there’s only one way to find a sense of meaning, and that is to fill your life to the bursting point; to be in love with your experience; to celebrate the flow of events wherever it takes you. When you do that, Godard says, you have no need or urge to ask questions like “Why am I here?” or “What is my purpose?” The richness of your story is the ultimate response to every enigma. As I contemplate these ideas, I say: Wow! That’s an intensely vibrant way to live. Personally, I’m not able to sustain it all the time. But I think most of us would benefit from such an approach for brief periods now and then. And I believe you have just entered one of those phases. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I asked Leo readers to provide their insights about the topic “How to Be a Leo.” Here are responses that line up with your current astrological omens. 1) “People should try to understand you’re only bossing them around for their benefit.” — Harlow Hunt. 2) “Be alert for the intense shadows you may cast with your intense brightness. Consider the possibility that even if they seem iffy or dicey, they have value and even blessings to offer.” — Cannarius Kansen. 3) “Never break your own heart. Never apologize for showering yourself with kindness and adoration.” — Amy Clear. 4) “At the moment of orgasm, scream out your own name.” — Bethany Grace. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s your birthright as a Virgo to become a master of capitalizing on difficulties. You have great potential to detect opportunities coalescing in the midst of trouble. You can develop a knack for spotting the order that’s hiding in the chaos. Now is a time when you should wield these skills with artistry, my dear — both for your own benefit and for the betterment of everyone whose lives you touch. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): One of my heroes died in 2021: the magnificent Libran author bell hooks (who didn’t capitalize her name). She was the most imaginative and independent-minded activist I knew. Till her last day, she articulated one-of-a-kind truths about social justice; she maintained her uncompromising originality. But it wasn’t easy. She wrote, “No insurgent intellectual, no dissenting critical voice in this society escapes the pressure to conform. We are all vulnerable. We can all be had, co-opted, bought. There is no special grace that rescues any of us. There is only a constant struggle.” I bring this to your attention, Libra, because I suspect the coming weeks will require your strenuous efforts to remain true to your high standards and unique vision of reality.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You now have the power to make yourself even more beautiful than you already are. You are extraordinarily open to beautifying influences, and there will be an abundance of beautifying influences coming your way. I trust you understand I’m not referring to the kinds of beauty that are worshiped by conventional wisdom. Rather, I mean the elegance, allure, charm and grace that you behold in old trees and gorgeous architecture and enchanting music and people with soulful idiosyncrasies. P.S. — The coming weeks will also be a favorable time to redefine the meaning of beauty for yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s the Season for Expressing Your Love — and for expanding and deepening the ways you express your love. I invite you to speak the following quotes to the right person: 1) “Your head is a living forest full of songbirds.” — E.E. Cummings. 2) “Lovers continuously reach each other’s boundaries.” — Rainer Maria Rilke. 3) “You’re my favorite unfolding story.” — Ann Patchett. 4) “My lifetime listens to yours.” — Muriel Rukeyser. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the coming weeks, make sure you do NOT fit this description articulated by Capricorn novelist Haruki Murakami: “You’re seeking something, but at the same time, you are running away for all you’re worth.” If there is any goal about which you feel conflicted like that, dear Capricorn, now is a good time to clear away your confusion. If you are in some sense undercutting yourself, perhaps unconsciously, now is the time to expose your inner saboteur and seek the necessary healing. July will be SelfUnification Month. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Tweeter named Luxuryblkwomen articulates one of her ongoing goals: “bridging the gap between me and my ideal self, one day at a time.” I’d love it if you would adopt a similar aspiration in the coming months. You’re going to be exceptionally skilled at all types of bridge-building, including the kind that connects you to the hero you’ll be in the future. I mean, you are already a hero in my eyes, but I know you will ultimately become an even more fulfilled and refined version of your best self. Now is a favorable time to do the holy work of forging stronger links to that star-to-be. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A blogger named Lissar suggests that the cherry blossom is an apt symbol for you Pisceans. She describes you as “transient, lissome, blooming, lovely, fragile yet memorable and recurring, in tune with nature.” Lissar says you “mystify yet charm,” and that your

“presence is a balm, yet awe-inspiring and moving.” Of course, like all of us, you also have your share of less graceful qualities. And that’s not a bad thing! We’re all here to learn the art of growing into our ripe selves. It’s part of the fun of being alive. But I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will be an extra close match for Lissar’s description. You are at the peak of your power to delight and beguile us. ARIES (March 21-April 19): In her poem “Two Skins,” Bahamian writer Lynn Sweeting writes, “There is a moment in every snake’s life when she wears two skins: one you can see, about to be shed, one you cannot see, the skin under the skin, waiting.” I suspect you now have metaphorical resemblances to a snake on the verge of molting, Aries. Congratulations on your imminent rebirth! Here’s a tip: The snake’s old skin doesn’t always just fall away; she may need to take aggressive action to tear it open and strip it off, like by rubbing her head against a rock. Be ready to perform a comparable task. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Imagine a world 300 years from now,” writes Japanese novelist Minae Mizumura, “a world in which not only the best-educated people but also the brightest minds and the deepest souls express themselves only in English. Imagine the world subjected to the tyranny of a singular ‘Logos.’ What a narrow, pitiful and horrid world that would be!” Even though I am primarily an English speaker, I agree with her. I don’t want a world purged of diversity. Don’t want a monolithic culture. Don’t want everyone to think and speak the same. I hope you share my passion for multiplicity, Taurus — especially these days. In my astrological opinion, you’ll thrive if you immerse yourself in a celebratory riot of variety. I hope you will seek out influences you’re not usually exposed to. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Imagine you’re not a person, but a medley of four magical ingredients. What would they be? A Gemini baker named Jasmine says, “ripe persimmons, green hills after a rain, a sparkling new Viking Black Glass oven and a prize-winning show horse.” A Gemini social worker named Amarantha says she would be made of “Florence and the Machine’s song ‘Sky Full of Song,’ a grove of birch trees, a blue cashmere knee-length sweater and three black cats sleeping in the sun.” A Gemini delivery driver named Altoona says, “freshly harvested cannabis buds, a bird-loving wetlands at twilight, Rebecca Solnit’s book Hope in the Darkness and the Haleakala shield volcano in Maui.” And now, Gemini, what about you? Identify your medley of four magical ingredients. The time is right to re-imagine the poetry of YOU. orlandoweekly.com

Urgent! Orange County Animal Services has over 140 cats in our care in our facility and over 310 cats in foster care. We need your help spreading the word for foster parents and adopters. We have so many cats under our care, and the number continues to grow every day. Litter after litter of kittens is brought in, even after we tell people to give the mom a chance to return before removing kittens. Before jumping to the rescue, quietly observe from a safe distance to determine if the mother is present. If the kittens are clean and asleep, the mom is caring for them. Place them out of the sun and out of harm’s way. If you have observed them for 24 hours and the mother has not returned, then bring them in for care, or care for them yourself until they are eight weeks or older. We call this our Wait ’til 8 program: We can provide you with everything you need to care for neonatal kittens, so the shelter is not overwhelmed. You can care for them until they are eight weeks old or weigh 2 pounds. At this point the kittens are healthy, and strong enough to be placed for adoption. Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.

“PRIDE AND PREFERENCE” Hi folks: I’m taking a week off, so this week’s “Savage Love” is a reprint of a column that was originally published in 2016. I hope everyone has a happy and safe Pride. Please be careful out there. — Dan As a queer man of color — I’m Asian — I feel wounded whenever I am exposed to gay men in New York City, Toronto or any city where white gay men dominate. Gay men reject me because of my race and no one admits to their sexual racism. I understand that sexual attraction is subconscious for many people. But it is unfair for a gay Asian like myself to be constantly marginalized and rejected. I fight for gay rights, too. I believe in equality, too. I had the same pain of being gay in high school and the same fears when coming out, too. Why is there no acceptance, no space, no welcome for me in this white-painted gay community? I’m 6-foot-1, 160 pounds, fit and very good-looking. What can I do? I might as well be a sexless monk. Enraged Dude Details Infuriating Experience “I relate to a lot of what EDDIE is feeling here,” says Joel Kim Booster, a Brooklynbased writer and comedian. “The doubleedged sword of living in a city with a large gay community is that the community gets so large that we finally have the opportunity to marginalize people within it.” Jeff Chu, a writer who also lives in Brooklyn, can relate: “Racism still thrives in the gay community, just as in broader society,” says Chu. “Many of us who are Asian American come out of the closet and walk into this weird bamboo cage, where we’re either fetishized or ignored. Many times I’d go into a gay bar and see guys playing out some gross interracial porno in their heads — with me playing the part of their Chinese pocket gay. Others (the ones I was interested in, to be candid) would act as if I were wearing an invisibility cheongsam.” Chu feels there’s plenty of blame to go around for this sad state of affairs. “It’s the gay media,” says Chu. “It’s Hollywood. Even with all the LGBT characters we have on TV now, what images do we have of Asian American ones? It’s that LGBT-rights organizations still haven’t diversified enough, especially in their leadership. And it’s all of us, when we’re lazy and don’t confront our own prejudices.” Booster and Chu are right: Racism is a problem in the gay community, some people within are unfairly and cruelly marginalized, and we all need to confront our own prejudices. Even you, EDDIE. You cite your height (tall!), weight (slim!) and looks (VGL!) as proof you’ve faced sexual rejection based solely on your race. But short, heavy, average-looking/unconventionally-attractive guys face rejection for not being tall, lean or conventionally hot, just as you’ve faced rejection for not being white. (Obviously the cultural baggage and biases that inform a preference for tall guys is a lot less toxic than the cultural baggage and biases that

inform a preference for white guys — duh.) “As a stereotypically short Chinese guy, my first reaction to reading EDDIE’s letter? Damn, he’s 6-foot-1! I’m jealous,” says Chu. “And that’s also part of the problem. I, like many others, have internalized an ideal: tall, gym-perfected, blah blah blah — and, above all, white.” Booster was also struck by your stats. “It’s hard for me to wrap my head around any 6-foot-1, fit, VGL guy having trouble getting laid,” says Booster. “On paper, this is the gay ideal! I don’t really consider myself any of those things — and I have a perfectly respectable amount of sex.” Booster, who somehow manages to have plenty of sex in New York’s “white-painted gay community,” had some practical tips for you. “EDDIE should stay away from the apps if the experience becomes too negative,” Booster says. “If logging on to a hookup app bums him out, take a break. Being a double minority can be isolating, but living in a big city can be great. There are meet-ups and clubs and activities for all stripes. Join a gay volleyball league — truly where gay Asian men thrive — or find one of the many gay Asian nights at one of the gay bars around the city. They’re out there.” Chu has also managed to find romantic success in New York. “I’ve been where EDDIE is, except shorter, less fit and less good-looking, and somehow I found a husband,” he says. “The monastery wasn’t my calling, and I suspect it’s not EDDIE’s either.” A quick word to gay white men: It’s fine to have “preferences.” But we need to examine our preferences and give some thought to the cultural forces that may have shaped them. Do yourself the favor of making sure your preferences are actually yours, and not some limited and limiting racist “preference” pounded into your head by TV, movies and porn. And while preferences are allowed (and gay men of color

have them, too), there’s no excuse for littering Grindr or Tinder or Recon — or your conversations in bars — with dehumanizing garbage like “no Asians,” “no Blacks,” “no femmes,” “no fatties,” etc. (But “no Republicans” is fine.) The last word goes to Booster: “A note to the rice queens who will undoubtedly write in about this man: We like that you like us. But liking us solely because of our race can be uncomfortable at best, and creepy as hell at worst. In my experience, it’s perfectly OK to keep some of those preferences behind the curtain while you get to know us a bit as humans first.” Follow Joel Kim Booster on Twitter (@ihatejoelkim) and be sure to watch his wonderful new movie Fire Island, streaming now on Hulu. Jeff Chu is the author of Does Jesus Really Love Me?: A Gay Christian’s Pilgrimage in Search of God in America; follow him on Twitter: @jeffchu. I recently moved to the South, and on Grindr I’m noticing a lot more racist messaging in profiles, sometimes as overt as “no Blacks” and “no Asians.” I’m wondering what I can (or should) do as a chat user? Is it sufficient just to block these people? Should I flag their profiles? Or should I message them and ask them to change their profile? Grinding Endlessly Against Racism Ugh, “just my preference” gays. JMPGs pop up everywhere, of course, but they’re thicker on the ground in more conservative areas. And while you can find examples of white gays in their 30s and 40s (and older) doing this kind of crap, it sometimes seems to be more prevalent among younger gay white men. These young guys — often recently out and from overwhelmingly white areas — get online and start saying dumb, racist shit. So long as they stay in Kansas or Utah, GEAR,

they don’t get a lot of pushback. But once a JMPG moves to Chicago or Los Angeles, they suddenly encounter pushback. Other gay men … reformed JMPGs or never-were JMPGs … start to get in their faces about how unacceptable and harmful this shit is. Decent gay men of all ages and races despair over this “just my preference” crap because it never seems to stop. But that’s not true; it does stop. After gay people who know better (and are better) get in the face of a JMPG, his latent moral imagination can kick into gear. The JMPG starts to think about how it would feel to be on the receiving end of this shit; maybe he recalls the Golden Rule back from Sunday School, perhaps he makes a few non-white friends and listens to them. Maybe he even starts to question his own precious preferences. (Are they his actual preferences? Or did he mindlessly adopt preferences assigned to him by Hollywood and porn?) And then maybe — hopefully, ideally — he stops being a JMPG. Even if he figures out that, yes, he’s primarily attracted to other white guys, he realizes he can act on his preferences — he can fuck the guys he wants to fuck — without needlessly disparaging anyone along the way. What happens next … well, what happens next is kinda depressing. Another young and/ or dumb JMPG moves to town and the whole someone-needs-to-get-in-his-face process starts up all over again. So, when you see a JMPG with “no Blacks” or “no Asians” or “no fats” or “no femmes” in their profile, GEAR, push back. Tell him he’s being an asshole. Getting through to JMPGs is slow, one-dudeat-a-time work, but you can be part of the solution.
