» Disney sues DeSantis in federal court over allegation of ‘government retaliation’; DeSantis countersues

The fight between Disney and the DeSantis administration kicked up another couple of notches last week, after the theme park filed a lawsuit in federal court that alleges “a targeted campaign of government retaliation” against the corporation on the part of DeSantis and his cronies. The lawsuit claims that the DeSantis administration is “weaponizing its power to inflict political punishment” in a manner that is “patently retaliatory, patently anti-business, and patently unconstitutional.” It was filed on April 26, the same day the DeSantis-appointed “Central Florida Tourism Oversight District,” the successor to the Reedy Creek Improvement District, voted to nullify a development deal that went into effect right before DeSantis’ board members were installed in late March. The lawsuit seeks to block the Board’s actions and nullification vote. On Monday, the Tourism Oversight District board voted to countersue Disney and retain control of the district.

» Local state attorney Monique Worrell calls out DeSantis in spicy letter for latest ‘witch hunt’

Orlando-area State Attorney Monique Worrell on Friday released a letter claiming that a local Republican committeewoman is working with the DeSantis administration on another “witch hunt” to get her out of office, like officials did to former Hillsborough County state attorney Andrew Warren. Warren was ousted, by and large, for signing onto statements saying he wouldn’t prosecute cases involving violations of Florida’s 15-week abortion ban or arrest people who provided or received gender-affirming care. Worrell shared in her letter (sent to press) that the state committeewoman has been trying to gather information about the Democrat, like local officials tried to do when she was first elected to office. She writes: “It’s appalling to think that while Ft. Lauderdale was under water, the Governor had people fishing around Orange and Osceola Counties to see which cases he can single out from over 100,000 cases our office has processed since I have taken office, while he prances around Southeast Asia on his dilapidated presidential campaign tour.” No joke, she did write that. If you want to read the full letter, we have it published in full on orlandoweekly.com.

» Tickets for Brightline’s Miami-to-Orlando route go on sale

Get ready: The Miami-based higher-speed rail service Brightline has announced that tickets for routes out of their new Orlando station will go on sale this month. Brightline unveiled their new station at the Orlando International Airport late last month. Arguably, the most eagerly anticipated route departing from this hub will be the Orlando-toMiami trip. There will be 16 round trips between Orlando and Miami daily, with hourly departures planned. The no-stop journey from Orlando to Miami would take about three hours (not a bullet train, but we’ll take it). Trains will depart daily to Miami between 5 a.m. and 8:50 p.m. One-way tickets start at $79 for “Smart” seats and $149 for “Premium” seats. Tickets will be purchased via Brightline’s website or at station kiosks. According to Brightline, the goal is to kick off the new train routes this summer, although the exact date is still TBD.

» The Florida Senate passed an anti-trans bathroom bill as hundreds of drag queens protested at the state Capitol Last week, hundreds of drag queens across Florida (including some of our local queens here in Orlando) traveled up to Tallahassee to protest anti-LGBTQ bills proposed by Republican lawmakers, including a bill that would require trans men and women to use restrooms associated with their sex assigned at birth. That bill, SB 1674, was approved by the Senate the same day as the protest, while a similar House bill was already approved the week before. The Senate version would apply restroom restrictions to public and private schools, as well as government facilities and correctional institutions, including prisons and jails. The House version would apply to restrooms in restaurants, schools and other places, including private businesses. Another bill, targeting drag performances directly (or “adult live performances” — but we’re smart enough to read between the lines) has also been approved by the GOP-controlled Legislature.

» Orlando LGBTQ activists rally at City Hall and ‘spread trans joy’ Locally, LGBTQ activists and allies rallied against the anti-LGBTQ proposals by state lawmakers — including a ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth, the bathroom bill, drag show legislation, and an expansion of the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law — on the

steps of Orlando City Hall last week. The rally, organized largely by Food Not Bombs in Orlando, emphasized a message of standing up for and protecting one another in the community, in the face of laws that activists believe are meant to drive LGBTQ people out of the state and hurt those who can’t afford to leave. A separate event, organized by Peer Support Space and other pro-LGBTQ organizations, offered locals the opportunity to come together and create care packages for LGBTQ Floridians in Orlando and across the state. A little safer than a protest, the goal of that crafting event was to “spread trans joy.” Efforts to undermine human rights (which include trans rights) can have a negative impact on mental health and overall quality of life, so it’s important, activists emphasized, to uplift those who are being marginalized by powerful interests.

» Florida legislators pass laws that could hurt public sector workers and renters

Florida’s Republican-controlled legislature last week also passed an anti-union bill that’s designed to undercut most of the state’s public sector unions (excepting those representing cops, firefighters, corrections and probation officers, and transit workers under certain circumstances), as well as a bill that would wipe out certain renters’ protections Orange County has moved to put into place over the last year, including notice requirements for rent increases above 5% and anti-discrimination protections in housing. Surprisingly, local state Sen. Linda Stewart (who’s term-limited from running for reelection in 2024) was the only Democrat to vote in favor of the latter — a bill that’s expected to, all in all, wipe out 46 ordinances across 35 cities and counties across Florida, approved by local leaders to help address unaffordable housing issues. If signed into law, the bill would preempt to the state all local policies that affect landlord-tenant relations. Translation: Local governments wouldn’t be able to pass (or keep) renter protections that exceed what’s in state law. Republicans rushed to get that one passed on Friday. Democrats filed amendments to both bills (the anti-union bill and the housing bill), but Republicans unceremoniously rejected their proposals, one by one, taking full advantage of their supermajority. The anti-union bill, literally supported only by conservative think tanks and most Republican lawmakers, was opposed by union members across party lines who traveled up to Tallahassee to publicly testify against it.

‘WE THOUGHT WE GOT RID OF THESE’

A Canadian small-dog breeder wants to build a ‘commercial kennel’ in northeast Orlando, but to some, the plans look more like a puppy mill

Apparently, an Orange County ordinance passed in 2021 banning puppy mills didn’t send a strong enough message. A proposed “commercial kennel” in Orlando has raised suspicions among neighbors that the facility might house a dog breeding and puppy selling operation, if built.

The proposal is set for a public hearing on Thursday in the Orange County Board of Zoning Adjustment. The kennel’s location is in northeast Orlando near the border of — no joke — the town of Taintsville. Looking at the cover letter description written by the property owner, listed as Juan David Valencia, people in the area have reason to be wary of the project.

At first glance, some of its details seem admirable. The owner wants to build a “state-of-the-art commercial kennel” with 44 dog runs and a 1,250-square-foot indoor playground. Note, in this case, that we’re not talking about a traditional kennel where people bring their dogs. The facility will only include dogs owned by Valencia. And much less appealing in the kennel’s description is the “nursery room with 10 dog runs (8’ x 3’) [and] a puppy room with 5 runs (8’ x 3’)”. Valencia says he keeps about 80 dogs at a time but wants to build this kennel to host up to 100 dogs. Hoist the red flags.

Orange County’s ordinance banning pet sales becomes most relevant in a section describing the facility’s opera-

tion. “Within our operation, we rarely allow people into our kennel, but our customers are welcome to visit us by appointment only. Usually, our customers learn about us from word of mouth, dog shows or social media, they are placed on a waiting list, and we contact them once a puppy with their desired characteristics becomes available.”

Michele Wacker lives about 1,300 feet from the proposed facility. She found out about the project two weeks ago and says her community is concerned. “We’re pissed,” she told Orlando Weekly. “I mean, I’ve been in dog rescue for 30 years and cannot believe that this is on my doorstep.”

The proposal could contain language that allows it to evade the ban on pet sales, however. Because the ordinance prohibits retail sales and is specifically aimed at pet stores, a commercial kennel not open to the public could provide an end run around that prohibition.

It’s also worth noting, though, that in its preamble, the ordinance specifically calls out “large-scale, commercial breeding facilities where the health and welfare of the animals is disregarded in order to maximize profits” that are supplying pet stores with dogs and cats.

When Orlando Weekly reached Valencia, who asked to be referred to as David Valencia (he’s referred to as Juan Santa on Board of Zoning Adjustment documents), he said he was in Uruguay looking for a particular breed of dog.

“If you like one, we can talk about it and if I think that

you are the right person for the dog, then you can have it,” Valencia said. “Obviously, there’s a price for it but it’s different than just walking into a pet store. You pick the dog and you pay for it and you walk away. Here with us when you walk away with a puppy, you become part of my life because I need to be sure that you take care of my puppy properly.”

Valencia, who says he’s also a stock trader, told Orlando Weekly he breeds small dogs like toy poodles and Maltese because there aren’t many small breeds available in shelters. He calls his kennel proposal a “family project” and says he plans to live on site with his wife and kids. Currently, Valencia says, he has 64 dogs. In line with his claims of running an ethical business, he says he only breeds dogs once a year and trains puppies before selling them, no younger than 12 weeks.

The Orlando kennel project is not his first foray into dog breeding. Valencia is well-known in Canada for it — “well-known” being a euphemism here. In an email correspondence with Michele Wacker, Donna Powers, co-founder and president of Stop the Mills/The Humane Initiative, said municipalities and cities in the Ontario province have started to ban the sale of pets over the past decade.

“So David, not willing to give up the income of selling tiny cute puppies for $2,600 would move. Then he would have to move again, then again,” Powers said in an email.

Powers says Valencia eventually settled in Bolton, a town north of Toronto and the current headquarters of his business Bright Pets. The Yelp reviews for this business are about what you expect. All six of them gave Bright Pets one star.

“Absolutely the worst place to buy a puppy from. He sold me the wrong breed,” a reviewer named Kristina A. wrote in a post from June 2020. “He says it’s a Maltese and toy poodle mix, however my puppy is 3x the size he should be for his age at 4 months.”

Another poster accused Bright Pets of selling them a sick puppy. Others were concerned they didn’t get the full health information, such as vaccine histories, about the dogs they bought.

Valencia alleges many of the reviews are fake. He also notes he has positive reviews on other sites. On Google Maps, Bright Pets has 4.4 stars from 187 reviews.

Wacker says their concerns extend beyond the dogs’ well-being at the kennel, although that is the most pressing issue. She says having, potentially, 100 dogs running around will be a nuisance for neighbors. In his proposal, Valencia attempts to assuage this concern, saying the dogs will spend most of their time indoors and “at least 30 minutes in the outdoor playground.” That, of course, raises its own issues. Valencia says dogs won’t spend too much time outside because of the Florida heat.

“Sometimes thinking about this I just feel like my head’s going to explode,” Wacker says. “And that’s how all of us feel.” She says she’ll probably move if the kennel is approved.

For what it’s worth, Valencia does seem to genuinely believe that dogs can have a positive impact on people’s lives. But his methods for giving that gift to people remain, to put it nicely, questionable.

The Board of Zoning Adjustment meeting (in which public comment will be heard) on allowing a special exception for Valencia’s commercial kennel is scheduled for Thursday, May 4, at 9 a.m. at the Orange County Administration Building. Wacker says opponents of the proposal will be wearing red to the meeting.

Even if the Board approves it, the kennel will still need approval from Orange County’s Board of County Commissioners.

DOUBLE NEGATIVE

After food service workers at Rollins College filed to unionize, a ‘no-union’ rally popped up on campus — allegedly orchestrated by their Sodexo managers

Dining service workers at Rollins College, employed by Sodexo, gathered at an anti-union rally on campus last week, just two weeks after employees filed a petition to unionize. But workers who support the unionization effort allege that the event was orchestrated by management.

About 25 people attended the “No Union” rally last Tuesday, ostensibly to demonstrate opposition to unionizing with Unite Here Local 362, a hospitality workers union that represents thousands of workers across Florida, including Sodexo food service employees at Disney World. Workers gathered outside of the Bush Science Center at the college in Winter Park, and marched around the campus holding signs with phrases such as “No Union,” “Stop Dictatorship” and “Groovin’ Without a Union.”

But several of the “no-union” attendees, including a senior supervisor who led the rally and who notified Orlando Weekly of the event, were management-level Sodexo employees who likely wouldn’t be eligible for union representation anyway.

“It was bullshit,” Mateo Herrera, a Sodexo dining service worker who has vocally supported the union effort, told Orlando Weekly. “The people who were there? Most of them were managers.”

Some of them were likely rank and file workers who’d be eligible for union membership, he conceded, but he believes that some might have been on the clock, and thus paid — and potentially coerced by management — to be there.

T-shirts decorated with the words “No Union” covered

with a red circle and slash (so, “yes union”?) were distributed among the small group of mostly Black and Hispanic workers, ranging in age, who attended.

Orlando Weekly sent a list of questions to the Sodexo management team at Rollins College last week, and called and left multiple voicemails for the team regarding these allegations, but did not receive a response prior to publication

Federal labor law strictly prohibits employers from interfering with the formation of a union, and protects workers’ rights to form a union, or to choose not to, free from intimidation or coercion by their employer.

Sodexo, a French food and facilities management company that’s worth billions, has a long history of deploying anti-union tactics, although the company consistently denies allegations of anti-union behavior.

In February, Sodexo told Orlando Weekly that they respect employees’ decision to unionize or not to unionize, pointing to the hundreds of contracts they have with Unite Here locally and other labor unions across the country. For instance, the company recently agreed to a contract with Unite Here Local 737 for its Orange County Convention Center food-service employees.

Pro-union Sodexo employees at the Rollins College campus, however, have shared a different story about the company’s response to the organizing effort, and students and faculty of the college, located just outside of Orlando, have rallied behind them to support their right to a free and fair union election process.

“We believe as Rollins students that a fair and free elec-

tion is what the workers deserve,” Mikhail Guchkov, a 20-year old Rollins College student, said to a group of about 50 at a student-organized rally in support of workers’ rights on Wednesday.

That rally was organized by a coalition of student groups, including the Young Democratic Socialists of America at Rollins College, the Black Student Union, the Muslim Student Union, and Spectrum, a group for LGBTQ+ students and allies.

“A union is about the workers,” Guchkov said, acknowledging that it’s not up to the students to decide whether union representation is the right choice for the workers, but for those who cook and serve their food, and who clean the cafeterias on campus.

“It is about them voting, and it is about them choosing it in the end. If they decide they don’t want it, that is up to them,” Guchkov said. “But if they decide that they do want it, we want it to be so that they don’t have any sort of pushback.”

A group of about 50 students and faculty marched around the campus, alternating between chants in English — “What’s disgusting? Union busting!” — and chants in Spanish, the native language of many of the employees — “El pueblo unido jamás será vencido” (“The people united will never be defeated”).

Multiple workers who are supportive of the union effort told Orlando Weekly that management has surveilled workers, intimidated workers, and — since launching the organizing campaign — has scheduled some of them for fewer hours, prompting some to seek additional work elsewhere.

Herrera, a young part-time employee who also studies at the University of Central Florida, joked that he’s “just struggling with the broke-ness” before adding that he does feel fortunate to have scholarships and loans that help him stay afloat.

Dining service workers employed by Sodexo at Rollins College — which is itself a wealthy, non-unionized institution — generally make around $15 per hour, with some making more and others less.

A living wage in Orange County, where the college is located, is an estimated $18.85 for a single adult with no children, provided you’re paying less than $1200 in rent per month.

And wages, according to some, can often remain stagnant.

“I’ve heard stories of workers here that have worked here for 20 years and still have a wage of $15 an hour, which is an utterly unlivable wage,” said Liam Gundy, a Sodexo employee.

“I’ve witnessed management ripping, like violently ripping [pro-union] flyers off the walls, I’ve seen many lies expressed by management to try and suppress the voices of the workers,” Gundy added.

Inconsistent scheduling, inadequate healthcare benefits, and preferential status for some employees are other issues workers involved in the organizing drive have voiced.

Rollins College confirmed to Orlando Weekly that they approved both the “pro” and “no” union events last week, but would not reveal who organized the “no” event.

It’s unclear how much anti-union sentiment there actually is among workers who would be eligible to vote on union representation, or if some of those who attended the “no” union event were even aware they wouldn’t be eligible for union membership.

Eric Clinton, president of Unite Here Local 362, told Orlando Weekly last week that a majority of workers had signed petitions in support of unionization.

At least 30% support from eligible employees is required to file a petition for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board.

WHAT THE ‘NO-UNION’ FOLKS ARE SAYING

One of the most vocal anti-union employees who attended and spearheaded the “No Union” rally on Tuesday was Barbara Penaroque, a senior supervisor for Sodexo at Rollins who wouldn’t be eligible for union representation, according to the NLRB petition submitted by workers.

Penaroque initially contacted Orlando Weekly about the rally with the message: “Read your story on the union at rollins college with sodexo and there is another side to the story. There will be a non union rally On Tuesday April 18th from 2:30-4 With actual Sodexo employees and not fake union stand ins.”

A Sodexo employee of over 20 years, Penaroque reeled off a laundry list of concerns about unionization.

One of those concerns, for instance, regarded union dues, which are traditionally paid by union members to support a union’s activities, including collective bargaining.

“We’re paying them money out of our paychecks to support their salaries,” she told Orlando Weekly, referring to union staff.

Because Florida is a right to work state, however, workers represented by Unite Here on-campus would not be required to pay union dues. Workers could voluntarily choose to pay union dues (typically representing a very small percentage of a worker’s paycheck), but doing so would not be required in order for them to share in the

protections of a union contract, such as scheduled raises and job benefits.

Penaroque added, to grunts of frustration and headshaking from those gathered at the rally, that union staff all make over $100,000 annually — well above what the average Sodexo employee earns.

This is also not true. Union staff salaries are public record — anyone can look them up (including those antiunion ralliers). According to the public record records, there is not a single Unite Here Local 362 staffer who had a gross income of $100,000 in 2022.

Penaroque was also concerned about the implications of a worker strike, although it’s unclear when and if that would ever occur. “If they [the union] strike, then we all have to strike,” she told Orlando Weekly Worker strikes, however, have to be authorized by union membership through a vote.

Plus, the national Unite Here labor union and Unite Here Local 362 have strike funds, which (while not always able to cover the entirety of lost wages) can help compensate for lost pay during a strike.

In addition, “no-strike” provisions, which bar unionized workers from going on strike for the duration of a contract, are common in unions’ collective bargaining agreements, including some of those here in Orlando.

The contract with Walt Disney Company, for instance, which also contracts Sodexo workers represented by Unite Here Local 362, includes such a provision.

“I think the biggest point we want to get across is we’re not being mistreated,” Penaroque told Orlando Weekly, which previously reported on subpar wages and paltry

benefits Sodexo workers receive.

Although Penaroque is concerned about paying those union dues, she doesn’t think their wages at the college are insufficient, and believes it’s about on par with what other employers in the region offer for similar work.

Afi Stewart, a sous-chef of four years at Rollins, said she’s happy with what she gets out of her workplace as is, and doesn’t want union representation.

“Everybody loves working here,” Stewart told Orlando Weekly

As a sous-chef, however, Stewart’s job is technically considered a management-level position, so she wouldn’t be eligible for union representation with Unite Here either.

Stewart added, quite passionately, that union reps have been harassing employees, following them to their cars, following them after they get off work. “If they don’t stop, I’m going to call the police,” she said.

In fact, Sodexo management already has called the police, albeit on student organizers from the University of Central Florida who were issued trespass warnings by Winter Park police for passing out pro-union flyers on the private campus.

Union staff have also been kicked off campus by campus security multiple times, according to union staff who Orlando Weekly previously spoke with.

Granted, it’s common for union staff and pro-union workers to find time outside of work hours to approach fellow coworkers about unionization during union drives — and that may not always be welcome.

Ronald Walker, who attended the “No Union” rally, does utility and custodial work in the cafeterias. He doesn’t have experience with labor unions, has never been a union member; in Florida, broadly, most people aren’t.

When asked about his job, Walker said that Sodexo has made some small changes recently that have held weight for him.

Until very recently, the company had him working six nights per week, which began to feel unsustainable. “I’m too old,” he shared, walking and talking with Orlando Weekly, trailing behind the rest of the group.

But then, a couple of months ago — around the time Orlando Weekly first reported on the unionization campaign — the company reduced his six nights of work per week to five nights per week.

“The changes that they’ve made is noticeable,” he shared. Making small changes to improve workplace conditions during or before a union drive goes public is a common tactic that employers use to dissuade unionization among employees.

Last year, for instance, Trader Joe’s announced companywide increases in compensation and benefits the same month that workers at a store in Boulder, Colorado filed a petition to unionize.

As Orlando Weekly previously reported, Starbucks has deployed similar tactics in violation of federal labor law, offering raises and new benefits exclusively for workers at non-unionized stores, amid a wave of union organizing at Starbucks locations nationwide.

Eric Clinton, the Local 362 union president, told Orlando Weekly that, as it stands today, they’re currently determining through a collaborative process with Sodexo and the National Labor Relations Board just who will be eligible to vote in the upcoming union election, which doesn’t yet have a set date.

Sodexo apparently wants supervisors to be included in the pool of workers who would be represented by the union. Local 362 is opposed to that, on the grounds that they don’t represent supervisors elsewhere.

Thus far this year, new theme park rides have let me toss turtle shells along Rainbow Road and steer a Lightcycle to victory on Tron’s Game Grid. But none of those high-tech experiences has delivered half the heart-pounding rush as Orlando’s newest attraction, which happens to be located inside its oldest attraction. If you’re yearning to get in touch with the great outdoors and aren’t afraid of heights, it’s time to get a grip with Gatorland’s latest three-in-one adventure, the Croc Rock.

In my mind’s eye, Gatorland remains the sleepy roadside attraction that it was when I arrived here back in the 1990s. So I’m always surprised when I visit and see how it’s expanded, from the half-day diversion of my memory into today’s expanse of zoological edutainment. But when I arrived for my tour of their latest offering before park opening on a recent weekday, I was frankly shocked to see the parking lot already jam-packed with cars and a long line of eager guests already queuing at the ticket booth. As Gatorland park director Mike Hileman tells it, Walt Disney World’s unpopular park pass reservation system has proven an unintended boon for them: Every day guests arrive at the Magic Kingdom expecting to be able to simply buy a ticket, and end up at Gatorland’s gates instead after being turned away by Mickey.

The Mouse’s rejects may not encounter as many giant cartoon fauna at Gatorland, but they will find plenty of authentic Floridian wildlife, starting with the namesake reptilians, who still gather sizable crowds with their “Gator Jumparoo” feeding demonstrations. On the softer side, the park recently adopted a sibling pair of endangered Florida panther cubs — who now have their own waterfall to splash in — and welcomed three adorable newborn goats at its petting menagerie.

As we passed by these aww-inspiring exhibits my pulse began to accelerate as I spotted my destination, the Croc Rock: a towering

monolith named for the V-snouted relatives of Gatorland’s stars. Standing 32 feet tall, the sculpted stone pillar is just the first phase of an intimidating three-part physical challenge, which also includes navigating across a 156-foot-long swaying bridge and flying down a 340-foot-long zip line. Those scary statistics were disclosed in the legal liability waiver I signed before being securely strapped into the snug, sling-like climbing harness that would serve as my lifeline throughout the journey.

With my palms chalked and carabiners clipped, I began my ascent of the Croc Rock, whose man-made sandstone surface offers a mix of both “natural” handholds and manufactured grips like you’d find in an indoor climbing gym, allowing participants to pick their own pathway to the top. Although I used to be an enthusiast in my youth, it’s been decades since I’ve done any serious rock climbing, and about two-thirds of the way up I began to rethink my choice to participate in the experience instead of simply observing the experts, like a smart journalist would. Fortunately for my ego, I managed to reach the summit, and although I ultimately lost my grip after lunging to tap the top, the auto-belay system safely lowered me back to terra firma with only a minor wedgie.

Powered by pure adrenaline, it turns out that I propelled myself up the Croc Rock in just over two minutes, instead of the 10 allot-

ted. As such, I needed a moment or three to catch my breath before ascending the staircase of the neighboring tower for the start of my second challenge, the swaying bridge. Although not as physically demanding as the rock climb, traversing skinny planks wobbling several stories above rugged scrubland was certainly a test of my balance and nerve that brought to mind the ending of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

For the grand finale, Croc Rock participants survive a speedy scenic glide above Gatorland’s watery bayou, with the strip mall across Orange Blossom Trail visible in the backdrop. This zip line ride doesn’t pass over the park’s alligator breeding marsh (as does their five-segment Screamin’ Gator Zip Line, which still operates) but you might glimpse some turtles and fish in the pond below. Personally, I was way too busy wildly woohooing during my 10-second slide to identify any animals along the way.

Gatorland’s 45-minute Croc Rock Adventure costs $45 (which includes admission to the rest of the park), and can be reserved online at gatorland.com. If you want to try it for yourself, you have to be at least 36 inches tall, weigh no more than 275 pounds, and wear pants or shorts and sneakers — because you can’t climb the Croc Rock if you’re wearing Crocs.

DOUGH NUTS

Folks are going ga-ga over the Dough Show’s Egyptian pies, shawarma and kebabs

An Egyptian, a Jordanian and a Turk walk into a restaurant …

Sounds like the start of a Thanksgiving Day joke from your racist uncle, but it’s really the start of the show — the Dough Show, to be exact. I’ve seen it four times, and each time I’ve binged this UCF-area eatery, it leaves me wanting more.

It’s all directed by Ehab Mahmoud, who’s managed to elicit a mesmerizing performance from Alexandrian pastry maestro Ahmed Hammam. The man is the Egyptian equivalent of a pizzaiolo — not of pizza dough, mind you, but of feteer meshaltet, or feteer, as it’s commonly known.

Hammam works, stretches and pounds the gossamer-thin dough before theatrically twirling the pastry disc around his head. And then, like all shows, this dough show must go on: It’s slammed back onto the quartz counter, given a few open-handed slaps, then filled with toppings like house-brined and cured pastrami with Kiri cheese — the Middle East’s answer to Laughing Cow. Hammam folds and crimps the pastry, inverts it, and places

this so-called “Oriental” pie (hey, that’s what it says on the menu) into a 600-degree oven for a few minutes until baked through. No matter the filling, be it mozzarella ($12.99), housemade sausage ($14.99), salami ($14.99) or mixed shawarma ($16.99), the result is magnificent.

That oven, BTW, is one of a kind in the country. “For sure, 100 percent no one has this kind of oven in the U.S.,” Mahmoud says. The four-ton, bilevel, dual-entry cooking chamber was brought over from Egypt in one piece, and there are two others like it in storage for when the Dough Show inevitably takes its production to other neighborhood venues.

And about that shawarma: It’s made from scratch and spends two days marinating before being skewered onto a vertical spit. In the case of the beef shawarma, it’s topped

with a hunk of lamb fat, allowing those gorgeous juices to flavor the glistening meat.

Thigh and breast make up the chicken shawarma, but I suggest you get the best of both whirly worlds in the mixed shawarma platter ($18.99) which comes with perfectly cooked rice and your choice of salad (tabbouleh, fattoush, metabble or the house salad). All are garden-fresh and all, as well as the rice, are overseen by Dough Show’s Jordanian cook, Manal.

The Turk, Muheelddin, mans the spit, as well as Dough Show’s charcoal-fired grill, over which a roster of kebabs is blazed. I’ve tried the chicken kofta ($17.99) and the lamb kebab ($18.99), and they really couldn’t have been cooked any better. What I found lacking was the flavor in those grilled meats, both of which bordered on the bland. But a dip in a side of tahini made everything right again.

In more dip news, Egyptian hummus ($7.99) is a whole lot creamier than its Levantine counterparts. Mahmoud says acquiring that texture takes a lot of work, but the effort is well worth it. I quite enjoyed dipping their house-made falafel into the luscious spread.

Not surprisingly, their desserts are all homemade too. Spoonfuls of comfort are to be had with the om ali ($6.99), a puff-pastry bread pudding soaked in milk, pistachios, coconut milk and raisins, while the basbousa ($5.99), a semolina cake with nuts and honey, is ideal with a cup of Turkish tea or coffee — neither of which the Dough Show offers. A relatively easy fix, but my eyes return to those feteer pies when it comes to sweet cappers. Yes, sugary versions are offered as well, and I can attest to the scrumminess of both the banana-custard pie ($10.99) and the one stuffed with raisins, coconut and custard ($11.99) — an ender popular among sweet tooths along the Nile Delta.

Yet with all my visits here, I feel like there’s still so much for me to try — the veg pies, the lamb chops, the roasted chicken, the rice pudding. What I’ll gravitate toward, who’s to say? Like the pies Hammam fashions, it’s a toss-up. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

PREMIERES WEDNESDAY:

Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All — Most pop stars would be perfectly content with a documentary film about their life and work. But that’s not good enough for ginger überwuss Ed Sheeran, who somehow needs an entire four-part series to explain how he stuttered his way to global simpdom. The show is also an extended ad for his new album, – (“Subtract”), which follows in the mathematically monikered footsteps of predecessors + (“Plus”), * (“Multiply”), / (“Divide”) and = (“Equals”). Christ, what a 2. (Disney+)

Great British Baking Show: Juniors — The contestants in Season 7 apply their skills to such delicacies as Piggy Rolls, Steamed Panda Buns and Peanut Millionaire’s Shortbread. But will stateside audiences get the joke that those are all nicknames Charles and Camilla used for parts of each other’s anatomy? (Netflix)

Jewish Matchmaking — The folks behind Indian Matchmaking introduce us to Aleeza Ben Shalom, who fixes up folks both in America and the Holy Land. Her adherence to centuries-old tradition might seem like a bit of a stumbling block, but at least it could give Netflix material for a second season of Unorthodox. (Netflix)

PREMIERES THURSDAY:

Bupkis — A series dramatization of the life and struggles of Pete Davidson sounds about as enticing as hosting your comingout party at Grills. But add a dose of Charlie Kaufman and a dash of “Weird Al” Yankovic, and you have an avant-garde romp that submits Edie Falco as Pete’s mom and Joe Pesci as his granddad. The things some people will do — right, Ariana? (Peacock)

Bridgerverse in a prequel series that shows how Charlotte of MecklenburgStrelitz’ marriage to King George III hurtled England into the future. Never again would something as trivial as Black ancestry be able to threaten the underpinnings of the monarchy, because … OOOH, nice one, mates. (Netflix)

The Other Two — As Season 3 commences, Cary and Brooke think they may have finally stepped out of the shadow of their annoyingly famous kid brother … only to find the goalposts of success moved on them yet again. This must be how MaryKate and Ashley feel every time they see a Scarlet Witch sippy cup. (HBO Max)

Sanctuary — Less The Karate Kid than The Bareass Brat, this YA series follows a troubled teen who enters the world of sumo wrestling. But will he come to appreciate it as a genuine religious ritual, not just a chance to score money and chicks? Hope so, because there isn’t a lot of room to sew a Valvoline logo on one of those little thongs. (Netflix)

Star Wars Visions — Volume 2 of the animated anthology series turns a new bunch of international animators loose on the Star Wars franchise, letting them do whatever they want with it. Must be a nice change of pace from the lockstep vision and airtight continuity Disney has exerted over the theatrical films. (Disney+)

PREMIERES FRIDAY:

Disney Intertwined Live — Happy Sinkhole de Mayo, pendejos! Celebrate the holiday with a live concert featuring songs from Intertwined, the Argentine series about an aspiring singer who gains greater insight into her family’s musical history by traveling all the way back to 1994. I understand Frances Bean Cobain tried this, but she just kept finding herself

SUNDAZED

Saharan rock legend Mdou Moctar plays Orlando — it’s a big deal

Thirteen minutes of frenetic and questing and smoldering guitar soloing propelled along by an impossibly tinny drum-machine loop. Swirling sunburnt spacerock recorded live-bootleg style at Nigerian weddings where audience and performer alike are intoxicated by endless musical possibilities and grooves. An emotive acoustic mantra recorded at close range accompanied by claps and cries and haphazard harmonies from a group of comrades.

Welcome to the wild and unpredictable soundworld of firebrand Saharan Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar, via his recent Niger Volume 1 and 2 mini-albums. And these are the outtakes!

Prior to becoming a Tuareg guitar legend, a young Moctar was entranced by YouTube clips of Eddie Van Halen’s sixstring acrobatics. So energized was Moctar that he built a guitar and set about perfecting his own take on that moltenmetal sound, melding that with the sounds of his nomadic Tuareg countrymen (a gospel also being then spread by fellow travelers Tinariwen).

Moctar first garnered worldwide attention from an appearance on the 2010 Music From Saharan Cellphones compilation album, but he had more ambitious projects in the works. Moctar wrote and starred in his own take on Purple Rain — Rain the Color of Blue With a Little Red in It, released in 2015. Successive tours and albums only boosted his name and profile, particularly 2019’s critically lauded breakthrough Ilana: The Creator.

Moctar and company have gained fame as innovative

interpreters of North African assouf — Saharan desert blues — and each new album has seen Moctar and his musical comrades expand and evolve their sound, enthralling audiences, yes, but always leaving room for elements of chance inspiration.

Now Moctar and his equally adventurous bandmates — guitarist Ahmoudou Madassane, bassist Mikey Coltun and drummer Souleymane Ibrahim — are in the states to play Austin Psych Fest, New Orleans Jazz Fest and Miami’s Afro Roots Fest. Mixed in are headlining dates around those appearances, one being Thursday’s date at the Social.

This is a big deal for Orlando music fiends, and with the visa process for international touring musicians only getting more labyrinthine, Kafka-esque and cost-prohibitive, this is not something to do the ol’ midweek flake on.

Orlando Weekly spoke with Moctar’s creative foil, bassist and producer Mikey Coltun days before the U.S. tour kicked off, fresh off a sold-out run of Australian and New Zealand shows.

We asked Coltun about the beginnings of his creative partnership with Moctar, and he remembered a fannish leap of faith, contacting Moctar’s old label and working with them to bring the musician stateside for the first time in 2017. Coltun ended up tour-managing a few dates … and in the van, fate intervened.

“I was driving them on the first show and Mdou found out I played bass. They never had a bass player. Mdou said, ‘OK, you’re gonna play with us tonight.’ I borrowed a bass at the

show and it was pretty instantaneous that we connected. I looked at him and he looked back and smiled.”

From that one show, Coltun joined the band on the rest of the tour and would end up managing and then later producing the band’s albums.

Following that initial U.S. tour, Moctar invited Coltun to visit Niger, where he would live for a few months. While there he was immersed in the not-so-surprising commonalities between American DIY punk and the local Tuareg musicians’ similarly DIY sensibilities.

“It was in Niger that I played three weddings a day for a couple months and really got to dig into the Tuareg wedding culture. I had spent time in Mali before this, but Niger was a whole different scene, especially the Agadez Tuareg scene. It was pretty immediate that I felt this commonality between the DIY punk world I grew up in in DC vs. the Agadez Tuareg world,” says Coltun. “Everyone is helping carry and set stuff up, all the weddings are in the middle of a desert or outside a house with a generator powering everything, things are breaking constantly but there is this fuck-it attitude of ‘just keep going, we can make it work.’ It was that mentality that was similar to what I grew up with in punk and DIY.”

This sense of creative freedom — setting up anywhere and just ripping — extends to all aspects of Moctar’s creative and musical life. Coltun speaks of an improvisatory dynamic onstage where the music is built from the ground up nightly.

“We never do a setlist. We never talk about the music we’re going to play. The shows are all improvised and every night it’s different. Mdou will noodle at the beginning of a song hinting at a melody and then we’re all in,” says Coltun. “Songs could last anywhere from five minutes to 20 minutes and we improvise off these melodies, changing things up all the time. It’s all spontaneous. I’ve said this before, but Mdou has the best band. He could do whatever the fuck he wants and Ahmoudou, Souleymane and I are there with him.”

Speaking of doing whatever the fuck one wants, Moctar’s Niger Vol. 1 and 2 EPs fly in the face of the traditional notion of album as sacrosanct statement, preferring a fieldrecording style to document the creative process, released by eminent indie Matador.

“I travel to Niger once or twice a year since I started going in 2017 and collecting field recordings. I wanted people to hear the source of this music unedited, raw and in its natural environment, from weddings to jamming out in the middle of nowhere to spontaneous gatherings of musicians sitting down playing music and drinking tea,” says Coltun. “It’s important for people to understand where this music comes from and that’s what the Niger EPs are all about.”

We ask with no small amount of trepidation about preconceptions of the Sunshine State heading into the tour. Coltun plays it cool, remembering a band adventure in Orlando back in 2019. “We had a day off near Orlando on that tour so a friend of ours hooked us up with Disney World tickets. I had been before as a kid, but the rest of the band had not, so that was really exciting and honestly life-changing for them,” recalls Coltun. “Florida feels like its own country with its own set of rules.”

Which should sit well with a quartet of musicians committed to living by their own particular musical rules. And doing whatever the fuck they want, of course.

LOCAL RELEASES

Over the past decade, Orlando’s Dan Mason has become a preeminent name in vaporwave, and few of his works epitomize that quite like his latest release, Compilation Singles. As the name indicates, this six-song EP is a roundup of singles specially made for various compilations, mostly from the past year. The comps were curated by vaporwave labels across the U.S. and even in the U.K., and feature Mason alongside other genre stars like Skylar Spence and Luxury Elite.

Despite these songs’ diffuse origins, Compilation Singles is a colorful, cohesive and salient collection that’s a prime gateway into Mason’s well-crafted world of nostalgia. Because they were all conceived as singles, each song here makes its own complete and concise statement. Together, they’re a loaded ride of immediate hits.

What Compilation Singles particularly underscores is the pop craft that distinguishes Mason. Rather than the hazy, abstract ether that many of his vaporwave peers weave, Mason’s compositions are clear songs of pop clarity and structure, sometimes complete with singing. “Summer Splash,” for example, is even ready for the dance floor.

Moreover, in a genre heavily based on sampling, Mason stands apart for his original sounds. With the exception of “Your Touch,” all the tracks on Compilation Singles are almost entirely free of samples, a modus operandi that he’s largely maintained for years. While other vaporwave artists achieve the requisite 1980s vibes by straight plundering, Mason faithfully recreates the soft-focus aura from scratch. And instead of burying it all in reverb, he keeps it considerably more crisp and distilled than his contemporaries.

Compilation Singles is a beacon of pastel retro electronics that’s rendered in vivid hi-def. It’s a tight, stylish package that’s as definitive and sharp a collection as Dan

New Jack City Live

1991’s New Jack City was in many ways a watershed moment for American cinema. A bleak parable of the Reagan-era crack epidemic, Melvin Van Peebles’ film was masterfully cast, with Wesley Snipes as drug lord Nino Brown and a pre-SUV Ice T playing Detective Scotty Appleton. It still hits and is always worth a watch. Which brings us to the present day, in which playwright Je’Caryous Johnson has adapted the film into a touring stage production. Johnson doesn’t skimp on star power: Allen Payne returns as the malevolent Gee Money, Naughty by Nature’s Treach steps into the Nino Brown Role and Big Daddy Kane portrays Van Peeble’s Stone.

You Blew It!

Give the people what they want. And the people want a You Blew It! reunion. Five years since the Orlando punks’ hiatus, the band is back together and playing two shows at Will’s Pub. The weekend features an impressive lineup, including Into It Over It, Glazed, 0 Miles Per Hour, Woolbright and Shy Dog Mountain Resort. When we asked “why now?,” You Blew It! frontman Tanner Jones offered these words. “I’m not so sure You Blew It ever really intended to break up when we broke up. As time progressed, however, other aspects of our lives began taking more precedence,” says Jones. “When some friends from the band’s early days approached us about playing their 10-year anniversary in Cape Coral, it seemed like a great excuse to get the time-specific line-up back together for a show. When that one sold out so quickly, it felt only natural to bring it to Orlando. We were massively caught off guard, and so excited for the opportunity to dust off some songs from a moment that’s very special to us.” 8 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N.

Stuntman and Florida horror icon Ricou Browning may no longer be with us, but his iconic role as the Creature from the Black Lagoon — one of the Mount Rushmore of Universal Monsters — will hopefully be forever. Filmed partly in nearby Silver Springs — not, in fact, the Amazon — Creature, a tale of humanity’s greed and callous disregard for nature (with a Gill-Man thrown in to drive it home), was suffused with Florida humidity and grit and muck, adding scenery in its own way as iconic as Dracula’s castle. As part of Cult Classics, it will be screened in glorious 3-D as originally intended (why else were there so many foreboding shots of the Creature’s webbed claw slowly creeping toward the foreground?). For fans of Floridiana or just a good B&W horror flick, this is one you don’t want to miss. 9:30 p.m., Enzian Theater, 1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland, enzian.org, $11. — MM

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’ve selected a passage to serve as one of your prime themes during the rest of 2023. It comes from poet Jane Shore. She writes, “Now I feel I am learning how to grow into the space I was always meant to occupy, into a self I can know.” Dear Taurus, you will have the opportunity to grow ever more assured and self-possessed as you embody Shore’s description in the coming months. Congratulations in advance on the progress you will make to more fully activate your soul’s code.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Georges Rouault (1871–1958) was a Gemini painter who bequeathed the world over 3,000 works of art. There might have been even more. But years before he died, he burned 315 of his unfinished paintings. He felt they were imperfect, and he would never have time or be motivated to finish them. I think the coming weeks would be a good time for you to enjoy a comparable purge, Gemini. Are there things in your world that don’t mean much to you anymore and are simply taking up space? Consider the possibility of freeing yourself from their stale energy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Britain occupied India for almost 200 years. It was a ruthless and undemocratic exploitation that steadily drained India’s wealth and resources. Mahatma Gandhi wasn’t the only leader who fought British oppression, but he was among the most effective. In 1930, he led a 24-day, 240-mile march to protest the empire’s tyrannical salt tax. This action was instrumental in energizing the Indian independence movement that ultimately culminated in India’s freedom. I vote to make Gandhi one of your inspirational role models in the coming months. Are you ready to launch a liberation project? Stage a constructive rebellion? Martial the collaborative energies of your people in a holy cause?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As crucial as it is to take responsibility, it is also essential to recognize where our responsibilities end and what should be left for others to do. For example, we usually shouldn’t do work for other people that they can just as easily do for themselves. We shouldn’t sacrifice doing the work that only we can do and get sidetracked doing work that many people can do. To be effective and to find fulfillment in life, it’s vital for us to discover what truly needs to be within our care and what should be outside of our care. I see the coming weeks as a favorable time for you to clarify the boundary between these two.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo-born Marie Laveau (1801–1881) was a powerful Voodoo priestess, herbalist, activist

and midwife in New Orleans. According to legend, she could walk on water, summon clairvoyant visions, safely suck the poison out of a snake’s jowls, and cast spells to help her clients achieve their heart’s desires. There is also a wealth of more tangible evidence that she was a community activist who healed the sick, volunteered as an advocate for prisoners, provided free teachings and did rituals for needy people who couldn’t pay her. I hereby assign her to be your inspirational role model for the coming weeks. I suspect you will have extra power to help people in both mysterious and practical ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What are the best methods to exorcize our personal demons, ghosts and goblins? Or at least subdue them and neutralize their ill effects? We all have such phantoms at work in our psyches, corroding our confidence and undermining our intentions. One approach I don’t recommend is to get mad at yourself for having these interlopers. Never do that. The demons’ strategy, you see, is to manipulate you into being mean and cruel to yourself. To drive them away, I suggest you shower yourself with love and kindness. That seriously reduces their ability to trick you and hurt you — and may even put them into a deep sleep. Now is an excellent time to try this approach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As she matured, Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath wrote, “I am learning how to compromise the wild dream ideals and the necessary realities without such screaming pain.” I believe you’re ready to go even further than Plath was able to, dear Scorpio. In the coming weeks, you could not merely “compromise” the wild dream ideals and the necessary realities. You could synergize them and get them to collaborate in satisfying ways. Bonus: I bet you will accomplish this feat without screaming pain. In fact, you may generate surprising pleasures that delight you with their revelations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some primates use herbal and clay medicines to self-medicate. Great apes, chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas ingest a variety of ingredients that fight against parasitic infection and help relieve various gastrointestinal disturbances. (More info: tinyurl. com/primatesselfmedicate.) Our ancestors learned the same healing arts, though far more extensively. And many Indigenous people today still practice this kind of self-care. With these thoughts in mind, Sagittarius, I urge you to spend quality time in the coming weeks deepening your understanding of how to heal and nurture yourself. The kinds of “medicines”

you might draw on could be herbs, and may also be music, stories, colors, scents, books, relationships and adventures.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The mythic traditions of all cultures are replete with tales of clashes and combats. If we draw on these tales to deduce what activity humans enjoy more than any other, we might conclude that it’s fighting with each other. But I hope you will avoid this normal habit as much as possible during the next three weeks, Capricorn. I am encouraging you to actively repress all inclinations to tangle. Just for now, I believe you will cast a wildly benevolent magic spell on your mental and physical health if you avoid arguments and skirmishes. Here’s a helpful tip: In each situation you’re involved in, focus on sustaining a vision of the most graceful, positive outcome.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Is there a person who could serve as your Über Mother for a while? This would be a wise and tender maternal ally who gives you the extra nurturing you need, along with steady doses of warm, crisp advice on how to weave your way through your labyrinthine decisions. Your temporary Über Mother could be any gender, really. They would love and accept you for exactly who you are, even as they stoke your confidence to pursue your sweet dreams about the future. Supportive and inspirational. Reassuring and invigorating. Championing you and consecrating you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Congratulations on acquiring the Big New Riddle! I trust it will inspire you to grow wiser and kinder and wilder over the coming months. I’ve compiled some clues to help you unravel and ultimately solve this challenging and fascinating mystery. No. 1: Refrain from calling on any strength that’s stingy or pinched. Ally yourself solely with generous power. No. 2: Avoid putting your faith in trivial and irrelevant “benefits.” Hold out for the most soulful assistance. No. 3: The answer to key questions may often be, “Make new connections and enhance existing connections.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Before forming the band called the Beatles, John Lennon, George Harrison and Paul McCartney performed under various other names: the Quarrymen, Japage 3, and Johnny and the Moondogs. I suspect you are currently at your own equivalent of the Johnny and the Moondogs phase. You’re building momentum. You’re gathering the tools and resources you need. But you have not yet found the exact title, descriptor or definition for your enterprise. I suggest you be extra alert for its arrival in the coming weeks.

orlandoweekly.com ● MAY 3-9, 2023 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY 37

I have been involved in a long-distance situationship (intimate friends) for three years. We live in different states. We met in person, then became friends online, and that is where the relationship blossomed. I went to visit her once for a week, and it was a very intimate and fun experience for both of us, although she did mention while I was there that she noticed my body odor. I took care of that ASAP, and it didn’t seem like a big deal, and it only seemed to come up when she was angry or frustrated about something. We have been planning on another visit, but she keeps bringing up my BO problem and has even said, “If it’s as bad as it was last time, you have to get a hotel room and can’t stay with me, and I won’t kiss you or fuck you.” Which is confusing because we were very intimate last time, she seemed to be enjoying herself quite a bit, and even told me how much she enjoyed the sex for weeks afterwards.

This issue arose months after that visit. Should I take her advice and be super diligent about BO or is this some sort of emotional manipulation or gaslighting? My close friends tell me they never notice my body odor — they don’t get as close to me, of course, because I’m not fucking them — and I shower at least once daily and use deodorant every day and brush my teeth multiple times a day. I realize I have BO sometimes, but I take care of it when I do. Also, and here’s the dinger, she has untreated BPD.

Oddly Disrespectful Odor Request

That’s quite the dinger you dropped there at the end of your letter, ODOR.

Adults with untreated and severe BPD — bipolar disorder — sometimes experience olfactory hallucinations, i.e., they sometimes smell things that aren’t there, in addition to sometimes seeing things that aren’t there and hearing things that aren’t there. Some studies have shown that olfactory hallucinations are more common than auditory ones — again, among adults with untreated and severe cases of BDP.

Now, I don’t know whether your fuck buddy is experiencing olfactory hallucinations. I don’t even know if your fuck buddy has BPD. I don’t know why anyone would lie about something like that, but this woman’s behavior seems kind of erratic — itself a symptom of BPD — and people lie about things they shouldn’t all the time. But I do know, and can say with some certainty, that no one who’s as diligent about his personal hygiene as you claim to be, ODOR, is walking around with terrible BO. You have a scent, of course; all people do. And once in a while someone is gonna be turned off by your natural, baseline, freshly showered scent for reasons that can’t be explained. If that was the case here — if it was just one of those chemical things, just one of those hormonal things, just one of those

“QUESTIONS”

pheromonal things — then you didn’t do anything wrong, ODOR, and you can’t do anything about it.

Of course, it’s possible you’re lying to me about your personal hygiene, ODOR, and it’s possible your friends are lying to you about your BO. It’s also possible this woman didn’t feel safe being honest with you when you visited her — when you were standing there in her apartment, stinking the place up — and she pretended that shower solved the BO problem and pretended to enjoy the sex because she was worried you would react badly if she was honest with you about how unhappy she was. But if that was the case, ODOR — if you really smelled that bad — why would she make plans to see you again? If your body odor was really that bad, if you smell so bad she has to threaten you in advance with getting a hotel room, why would she want to fuck you again?

Only she knows the answer to those questions, ODOR, so here’s one you can answer: Why do you wanna see this woman again? BPD or no BPD, she doesn’t seem … like a very nice person. Decades ago, I might’ve said, “Don’t stick your dick in crazy,” but that expression is ableist, first and foremost, and it has a long history of being used to control women. For fear of being labeled “crazy,” and therefore unworthy of having some random guy’s dick stuck in her, countless women were manipulated into putting up with terrible behavior, from poor personal hygiene to unsatisfying sex to much worse.

So, I’m not using that awful expression — I’m mentioning it, not using it (angry readers are invited to Google “use/mention

distinction”) — but I would like to revise it: Don’t stick your dick in unkind. And whatever else is going on with this woman, she’s being unkind to you. Tell her she’s going to need that hotel room after all, ODOR, because you won’t be available to see her — and be insulted by her — when she comes to town.

I’ve begun to think I am a lesbian. I’m 29 years old, and I’ve only been with men up to now. The first guy I was with was sexually abusive and convinced me that sexually servicing a man regardless of how I felt was the norm. I carried this into my next decade-long, mostly long-distance relationship with a man, another relationship that involved a general disregard for sexual boundaries. (At one point when I refused PIV to prevent pregnancy, he joked about pinning me down and “just sticking it in.”) I didn’t realize that being happy in a long-term sexual relationship was even possible. The thing is, while remembering most of the sexual things I’ve done disgusts me, and while I find myself uninterested in the male form, I did enjoy making out with someone and being held. But while I am now repulsed by the thought of being with a man, I have no experience with women at this late age and having actively sought out relationships with men makes me think I can’t be gay. Why would I have sought out sex acts which now disgust me? Why did I pursue men if that wasn’t what I wanted?

Done With Men

Lesbianism is not a consolation prize; lesbianism is not a severance package a woman is handed on her way out of a shitty straight relationship. Lesbianism is a romantic and sexual orientation. It’s a positive force — it’s

about what (and who) a woman is drawn to, not what (and who) a woman is repulsed by. I mean, think about it … if having shitty relationships with men turned women into lesbians, DWM, there wouldn’t be any straight women left. Hell, if having shitty relationships with men turned people off men generally, DWM, there wouldn’t be any gay men left either. Straight guys with shitty ex-girlfriends would go gay, lesbians with shitty ex-wives would go straight, and bisexuals wouldn’t know what (or who) to do.

So, after reading your letter, DWM, I have few questions for you: Are you attracted to women? When you think about making out with someone and being held, do you see yourself with a woman? Does the thought of having sex with a woman turn you on? Do you get aroused when you think about going down on a woman, being gone down on by a woman, and doing all the other sexy sex things women do with women? If the answer to each of these questions is “yes,” DWM, then you might be a lesbian.

Many women realize they’re lesbians later in life, DWM, so your experience — years in unsatisfying straight relationships before coming out — wouldn’t be an uncommon one; you wouldn’t be the first lesbian who struggled to dig her authentic homosexuality out from under compulsory heterosexuality.

Lots of women go through the motions with men — putting up with their smelly bodies and their vaguely threatening “jokes” about sexual violence — before coming to the realization it wasn’t men they wanted at all, or not men they wanted exclusively.
