» The big news: Hurricane Idalia hits Florida

The big news that dominated news headlines last week was Hurricane Idalia, which made landfall in Taylor County, 75 miles from Tallahassee, as an “extremely dangerous” Category 3 hurricane early Wednesday morning. Orange County was under a tropical storm warning at the time, and as far as we know, mostly just saw rain showers and wind, although Mayor Demings still made an effort to hold news conferences with updates throughout, with Orange and surrounding counties opening up sandbag locations in case of flooding. A string of colleges and universities (e.g. UCF) as well as school districts canceled classes and/or campus activities on Wednesday. The News Service of Florida reported that more than half a million Floridians lost power during the storm. State Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie said crews started “search, secure and stabilize” recovery efforts shortly after the hurricane made landfall. Idalia pushed sea waters up to 16 feet in some areas of the Gulf Coast, but the storm was expected to cause less damage than Hurricane Ian. Searching for residents in sparsely populated communities and helping them, however, can take time, said Guthrie.

» Biden steps in to help with hurricane recovery and relief efforts

A day after Idalia hit, President Joe Biden approved a federal disaster declaration to help state and local recovery efforts in the most hard-hit areas. The federal declaration opens the door to such assistance as grants for temporary housing and home repairs and low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, the White House news release said. It would also make money available to help with debris removal and emergency-protective measures in the designated counties. The federal government will pick up 100 percent of such costs for a 30-day period “of the state’s choosing,” the White House said. Gov. Ron DeSantis had earlier requested a major disaster declaration for 25 counties, seeking “expedited federal assistance” to help pay for debris removal and provide temporary housing.

» Orlando rallies to repaint murals vandalized with anti-LGBTQ messages and hate symbols

Local activists, community members and officials gathered at the sites of two Orlando murals on Mills Avenue the weekend before last, just hours after the sites were vandalized with anti-LGBTQ messages and hate symbols. The murals, located near The Center Orlando and Zebra Youth, were defaced with anti-LGBTQ+ language Friday, according to a social media post from The Center. Messages like “Gay is not OK,” and “Save kids’ eyes from trans lies,” as well as swastikas and Iron Crosses, covered the murals. A sign was also stuck to the wall reading “Knights of the Black Sun,” a known white nationalist and neo-Nazi group. But Orlandoans quickly jumped into action, and within 24 hours, all of it was repainted over. Kim Murphy, the artist who created the murals, was joined by Zebra Youth staff, City Commissioner Patty Sheehan and other community members to paint over the graffiti. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer shared on social media in response to the vandalism: “Hate has no place in our city. Zebra Youth and The Center are important parts of our community, providing services to LGBTQ+ residents. Here in Orlando, we will continue to support these organizations and continue our work to create an inclusive city.” Orlando Police have said they’re actively investigating the incident. Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to call OPD or contact @CrimelineFL anonymously at 1-800-423-TIPS.

» Brightline’s official Orlando debut has been delayed again

The company announced last week that Brightline has pushed its service to Orlando once again, delaying its Orlando service to Sept. 21. Brightline had also announced earlier this month it would delay service, which was set to begin Labor Day weekend. They’re offering refunds for trips booked between Orlando and South Florida for Sept. 7 through the 21st, when it will (maybe? finally?) begin its service. Passengers who had trips booked during those days will also receive a premium trip voucher for use at a different date and a discount offer to use with rental car company Avis. Brightline released a statement saying it has “added a few more days to our work schedule to complete the final stages of certification and testing.”

» OCSO fanny pack search ruled unconstitutional

A state appeals court said last week that Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputies making an arrest needed a warrant before searching a fanny pack that contained a gun. A three-judge panel of the

6th District Court of Appeal ruled in favor of Jamari Jean, who sought to suppress evidence of the gun and ammunition in the fanny pack. The ruling said Orange County deputies had a warrant for Jean’s arrest on charges of aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm, and apprehended him after he rode up to his home on a bike. After Jean was handcuffed, deputies took the locked fanny pack, found a key and opened it. Jean was later convicted of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon. An Orange County circuit judge denied Jean’s motion to suppress the evidence. But while deputies had a warrant to arrest Jean on other charges, the appeals court said it needed a warrant to search the fanny pack, pointing to the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, which bars unreasonable searches and seizures, and supporting legal precedents. While exceptions allow warrantless searches in certain circumstances, such as when officers’ safety is at risk, the ruling said the Jean case did not meet such tests. This new ruling reversed Jean’s conviction on the gun-possession charge.

» Injunction hearing set in ‘Tango Makes Three’ book ban fight

A federal judge has scheduled a Sept. 15 hearing in a request for a preliminary injunction in a fight about access in school libraries to the children’s book And Tango Makes Three. A U.S. District Judge will hear arguments in Jacksonville on the injunction request in the lawsuit filed by authors Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson and a third-grade Escambia County student against the Escambia and Lake County school districts and the State Board of Education. The lawsuit alleges First Amendment violations in removing or restricting access to the book in school libraries. In part, it seeks an injunction to require restoring the book to Escambia school library shelves. And Tango Makes Three tells the story of two male penguins who raised a penguin chick at New York’s Central Park Zoo. The lawsuit contends that the book has been targeted for “illegitimate, narrowly partisan, political reasons.” The lawsuit also raises issues about a controversial state law that restricts discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. The case is part of a wide-ranging debate in Florida about school boards restricting or removing books.

‘VOLUNTEERS’

Florida agencies use unpaid prison inmates to prepare for Hurricane Idalia — and for a lot of other necessary work

As Floridians prepared for Hurricane Idalia to make landfall on the upper central coast earlier this week, several counties deployed unpaid prison labor, as they have in the past, to fill the sandbags used to prevent flood damage.

At least four counties — including Lake County, Polk County, Taylor County and Flagler County — relied on incarcerated people from local correctional facilities to fill sandbags this year.

“Got a sandbag? Thank an inmate!” the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, on Florida’s East Coast near Daytona Beach, shared in a Facebook post a day before Idalia reached Florida as a Category 3 hurricane on the state’s West Coast.

Incarcerated people, a largely invisible workforce who lack basic labor protections, are regularly enlisted to help contain wildfires in states like California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Georgia and Oregon. They’re also deployed to pick up tree limbs, do road cleanup, and perform other storm preparation and recovery work.

Just like any other first responder, they face the risk of injury, even death out on the front lines, all the while earning less than one dollar per hour on average in most parts of the U.S. In some states, including Florida, incarcerated workers are paid nothing for their labor, or little more than pennies.

Unlike government employees, such as city or county staff enlisted to help prepare communities for natural disasters, most incarcerated labor in Florida is unpaid — as it is in Texas and a handful of other Southern states.

We had a word for that once: slavery. Now? It’s a little more complicated.

The legality of unpaid incarcerated labor (described by some as exploitation and “modern-day slavery”) is tied in part to the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude “except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.”

“Inmate work crews” have a long, unsurprisingly racist history in Florida, dating back to at least 1868, when the state’s first penitentiary opened. The state legislature at the time determined that free prison labor would sufficiently help “offset” the facility’s expenses.

Today, government agencies in Florida that oversee work assignments for incarcerated people generally frame those who do things like filling sandbags ahead of storms (a convenience that could be particularly helpful for the elderly or people with disabilities) as “volunteers.”

“The inmates are extremely grateful to have an opportunity to help our community prepare as they have families here as well,” Brevard County sheriff Wayne Ivey gushed in 2019, as Florida’s Space Coast, east of Orlando, prepared for Hurricane Dorian.

This week, the Flagler County sheriff also thanked those who “volunteered” to fill sandbags ahead of Idalia.

“Over the last two days, inmates filled and distributed over 5,100 sandbags!” the sheriff’s office shared proudly on social media.

Commenters on the post, seemingly fine with this arrangement, also shared praise.

“A double win — citizens in need get help and the inmates get to feel the pride of being needed and helping others,” one person wrote. “Thanks to the inmates who volunteered!” another added.

It’s not the first time Flagler County deployed its incarcerated population for storm readiness.

Ahead of Hurricane Irma in 2017, the FCSO announced what it dubbed “Operation Sandbag,” contrasting its sandbag pickup location with another location that offered self-service.

“Let the inmates do the labor for you,” the sheriff’s office argued.

This year, ahead of Idalia’s arrival, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, east of Orange County, also recruited incarcerated people to fill sandbags for county residents, who faced a tropical storm warning and were not expected to see a direct hit.

A spokesperson for the LCSO, reached after several unreturned calls to their office, confirmed that their incarcerated “volunteers” spent eight hours filling sandbags for local residents on Tuesday, unpaid.

“The inmates do not receive any monetary benefits for their duties,” the spokesperson told Orlando Weekly over email. “However, they may receive added privileges, time toward their sentence, and the ability to spend additional time working outside of the jail facility.”

There is a “classification” process. Only people who are convicted of a crime (not just booked into the detention center) are chosen for the “work crew.” And people who have been convicted of violent or sexual charges are not eligible.

Using incarcerated labor to perform this work is “cost effective for taxpayers,” the spokesperson explained, “and can also allow inmates to learn a new skill that could help them find gainful employment once they are released from the jail.”

Selling the ‘benefits’ of unpaid prison labor to the public

Those who defend the practice of unpaid prison labor argue that working while incarcerated can help to reduce recidivism, promote skill development and offer personal fulfillment for those who are convicted of crimes.

But it’s not clear that unpaid labor during incarceration actually helps increase a person’s chance of finding gainful employment. Unemployment among formerly incarcerated people is notoriously high, and it’s not because they don’t want to work or lack skills.

A person’s criminal history, for instance, may disqualify them from jobs that they performed while incarcerated, regardless of a possibly improved skill set. Formerly incarcerated people, desperate to find work post-release, may also be at greater risk for exploitation, or may face a limited employment pool of jobs that are low-wage, unstable and offer zero to little mobility, according to the Prison Policy Institute.

But it’s true that this arrangement in the corrections system allows for savings on labor costs. Florida’s minimum wage is $11 per hour, compared to $0 for the majority of prison work (a small fraction of prison jobs in Florida pay between 20 cents and 95 cents per hour, according to data collected from the ACLU).

These cost savings are not lost on the state Department of Corrections, which maintains contracts with local and state government agencies, including the Department of Transportation.

As of 2019, the Florida Department of Corrections valued incarcerated laborers working on state “community work squads”

and road crews at $147.5 million over a five-year period, according to the Florida Times-Union, which clarified that the real value is “likely double or triple that estimate.”

“There’s no way we can take care of our facilities, our roads, our ditches, if we didn’t have inmate labor,” Warren Yeager, a former Gulf County commissioner, told the Florida Times-Union in 2019.

Managing correctional facilities — where incarcerated people may also be directed to do kitchen work, work in laundry or perform janitorial tasks — is also expensive.

Leon County, which had braced itself for a particularly rough hit from Idalia on Wednesday, saves roughly $195,200 annually by using incarcerated labor instead of hiring permanent full-time staff, according to Tallahassee Reports.

Incarcerated workers are exempted from basic labor protections — such as the right to be paid minimum wage, receive benefits or overtime pay — and can face consequences for refusing work, including disciplinary confinement and losing time earned off their sentences.

Court decisions have also determined they don’t have the right to unionize, although that hasn’t stopped them from forming unions anyway, organizing with groups like the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee.

The IWOC, a prison-led branch of the radical Industrial Workers of the World, first formed in 2014 and is known for sponsoring a series of prison strikes in 2018 over wages and other prison conditions, in step with the Campaign to Fight Toxic Prisons and Jailhouse Lawyers Speak.

Thousands of prisoners reportedly participated. But, as The New Yorker reported at the time, an accurate count of participation was difficult to determine “in part because some state-prison officials refused to confirm that a strike had occurred.”

Strikes have also been organized at other points throughout the past decade, and in decades past.

The issue of unpaid prison labor in Florida hasn’t gone completely unnoticed by those with the power to address it. Some Democratic state lawmakers in Florida, for instance, have sought to ban unpaid prison labor as recently as 2022, but those efforts haven’t gone anywhere, and the issue was not pursued this past legislative session.

Meanwhile, advocates for Florida’s incarcerated population are also fighting for other basic rights for those imprisoned, including heat protection.

Most Florida prisons lack air conditioning, which poses serious health and safety risks for everyone inside: those imprisoned as well as corrections staff.

Of course, only one of those groups can’t leave.

Hurricane season in Florida has yet to reach its peak for 2023. And it’s likely that incarcerated people will, again, be deployed to help communities prepare and recover from upcoming storms.

Local agencies in other parts of Florida — including Dixie, Osceola, Pasco and Manatee counties — have also used prison labor for storm cleanup in the past. The Orange County Department of Corrections did not respond to Orlando Weekly’s request for comment on whether they have or plan to direct incarcerated people to help with storm recovery.

But at least one government agency — the Lake County Sheriff’s Office — confirmed they will “absolutely” be utilizing incarcerated labor for storm preparation and recovery in the months to come, “provided conditions are safe enough.”

‘NONE OF THIS WHITEWASH STUFF’

Will a new Florida Black history museum be ‘factual, truthful and respectful’ … or will it become another political football?

Amid tensions over a stream of incidents — from controversial academics over slavery, NAACP travel advisories and the loss of a Black congressional district to the hatecrime killings of Black people in Jacksonville — a new task force is trying to create a statewide Florida Museum of Black History. But it’s not certain yet if the project will accurately and faithfully advance the cause and ultimately build the museum or derail it over a political agenda.

“I am committed to make sure that we tell the truth about Florida, and I don’t think that we can celebrate the progress that we’ve made as a state or as a country, without acknowledging the pain that came along with that. So I’m committed to doing that,” said Orlando-area Democratic state Sen. Geraldine Thompson,

who has been appointed to the nine-member Florida Museum of Black History Task Force.

“I am hopeful that this study and the recommendations of the task force won’t end up on a shelf somewhere,” she added.

Four members of the task force serve in the Florida Legislature — two Democrats and two Republicans.

The other five members are: two executive directors of museums, two business executives and an interim assistant vice chancellor of the Board of Governors.

Terri Lipsey Scott is the executive director of the Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum in St. Petersburg, one of 19 Black history museums sprinkled throughout Florida.

“The mission of the Woodson African-American Museum is to

preserve, present, interpret, celebrate and educate around African American history and its culture. And not to do so would in fact have us not living up to our mission,” she said.

The Florida Black History Museum should follow that same edict, she said.“We’re looking forward to presenting it in a factual, truthful, respectful manner.”

What about Bruce?

Notably, the lawmaker who conceived of the idea of the museum in the first place — Orlando-based Democratic Rep. Bruce Antone — isn’t part of the task force. He wrote the bill and received unanimous support from the Legislature earlier this year to create the task force. Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida Senate Kathleen Passidomo and House Speaker Paul Renner chose the appointments.

“I was extremely, extremely disappointed that I was left off the task force,” the 62-year-old lawmaker told the Phoenix last week. “It was my idea. It was my bill. But I thought I should have been on there. So I was just really disappointed.”

But while Antone won’t be part of the group assigned to work on the planning, construction, operation and administration of what is expected to become the most comprehensive collection celebrating Black history in Florida, he still hopes to have some influence on how it will be created.

To that end, he’s produced a 59-page blueprint detailing how the task force should go about its business. He envisions 10 separate exhibit halls within the main building that would focus on Blacks in the military; Blacks in aviation; Blacks and women in space; Black scientists and inventors; Black art and Black Florida artists; and an exhibit on the history of slavery in the state.

“It’s not intended to be a slavery museum,” Antone said. “This is not a civil rights museum. This is strictly a museum that would remember the past, celebrate the future and the present, but it would be about the contributions that Black folks and Caribbean immigrants have made to Florida and the history of Florida.”

That said, months of concerns about Black issues in Florida could be a problem for the task force.

Rising tensions

Last week, a young white man armed with an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun killed three Black people at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville. The shooter killed himself. An FBI official that day said the agency has opened a civil rights investigation and will pursue the incident as a hate crime.

But tensions have been rising earlier.

Organizations such as the NAACP have criticized DeSantis and other state Republicans on a number of policy fronts. Those include blocking educators from teaching certain Black history subjects in classrooms; denying funding for diversity, equity and inclusion programs; revising congressional districts that reduced Black representation in Congress; and approving Florida academic standards in K-12 schools that relate to how Black people benefited from slavery because it taught them skills.

That perceived hostility has led to travel advisories and Blackbased organizations canceling upcoming conventions in the state. Black historians are watching closely how this task force will approach its responsibility in creating a history museum that tells the state’s past accurately and faithfully.

“If the task force is necessary to get this program or project off the ground, so be it. That’s a good thing,” says Albert S. Broussard, a professor of African American studies at Texas A&M University. “If it means the task force can help attract state funding and perhaps some foundational funding, that’s a great thing, too. But in terms of the content of this museum or any other museum, it really should be determined by specialists in the field, people

who have the expertise and not by politicians who do not have expertise. They have a political agenda, and that should not dictate what should go into any academic museum.”

As State Sen. Thompson said: “I’m hoping that this will really result in the construction of a state museum focused on African American history similar to the one in Washington, D.C.; the one in Cincinnati, Ohio, that focuses in on the underground railroad experience; the new human and civil rights center in Atlanta. So many other states and so many other localities have invested in this kind of tourism, and I think that it’s time that Florida did the same.”

So what would the programming be about?

The law lays out specific issues and individuals that the museum needs to include in its programming: the history of slavery in the state; the history of segregation in the state; the history of historical Black colleges and universities in the state; notable African Americans in the state, specifically listing Mary McLeod Bethune; the founding of Bethune Cookman University; the role of African

American participation in defending and preserving Florida and the U.S., including the contributions of residents of Fort Mose, the Tuskegee Airmen and all African American veterans; and “the inherent worth and dignity of human life, with a focus on the prevention of genocide.”

But underlying all of this is whether the group will keep politics out of their decision-making progress. Is that possible?

“I do believe so and would be very disappointed if that should derail our mission,” said Brian Butler, the president and CEO of JCB Construction in Orlando.

“I just hope and pray that this does not become another political football,” said State Rep. Antone. “We just need to come up with a design for a museum. We need to capture and preserve the history of Black folks in the state of Florida and the history of Caribbean immigrants coming to Florida. We just need to present history as it happened, as it occurred accurately. None of this whitewash stuff. None of this historical context missing.”

Professor Broussard says that it’s quite possible and maybe

likely that there will be some divisions among programmers about what to include in such a major museum, citing previous controversies that have surfaced at the Museum of the American Indian and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, both located in Washington, D.C.

“In any museum, whether it’s a state museum or a regional museum, you’re going to have disagreements about what went in and what was left out,” he says. “Because a museum can’t house every single aspect of any group’s history.”

Location, location, location

There will undoubtedly be other challenges that the task force will contend with, such as: Where will the museum actually be built?

Gayle Phillips, the executive director of the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center in St. Augustine, says it should be housed in northeast Florida.

“Obviously I’m biased, but I hope it will be somewhere in St. Augustine or somewhere in northeast Florida where we have an abundance of history, but I will work to the best of my ability to have the maximum input that I can into what we put in there,” she said. “We would love for it to be in northeast Florida, not in Orlando. The history is here in St. Augustine and Duval and Nassau.”

But Thompson and Antone say they would like the structure to be built in Eatonville, the Orange County town located six miles north of Orlando that became the first incorporated all-Black city in the country.

“Right now there are negotiations about land that was given to the town for educational purposes,” said Thompson. “So that’s something that I’m going to be highlighting for my other task force members and really strongly suggesting that for consideration.”

The task force will work within the Division of Historical Resources of the Florida Department of State. Members of the task force were told last week that they will have their first meeting scheduled soon.

Here are the nine individuals who have been named to the task force.

Gov. Ron DeSantis appointees:

Brian Butler – President and CEO of JCB Construction, Inc. Chair of the Central Florida Foundation and past board member of the Central Florida Foundation.

Berny Jacques – Republican state House member from Pinellas County.

Altony Lee – Interim Assistant Vice Chancellor of Public Affairs for the Board of Governors of the State University System.

Senate President Kathleen Passidomo appointees: Geraldine Thompson – Democratic state Senator from Orlando area.

Bobby Powell – Democratic state Senator from Palm Beach County.

Terri Lipsey Scott – Executive Director for the Carter G. Woodson African American Museum in St. Petersburg

House Speaker Paul Renner appointees: Kiyan Michael – Republican state House member from Duval County.

Gayle Phillips – Executive Director of the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center in St. Augustine

Howard M. Holley – Founder of TouchPoint Innovative Solutions and former senior vice president at the Xerox Corporation.

Central Florida Community Arts (cfcarts.com) has taken on some ambitious projects during its 13 years, but even their largest past efforts pale in comparison to this weekend’s massive concert staging of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at Northland Church in Longwood. Nearly 250 participating members — including senior storytellers, young thespians and autistic adults — will come together Thursday and Friday, Sept. 7-8, under director of production Juan Torres. Torres made time in his busy schedule as a live entertainment production manager at Walt Disney World to serve as artistic director of his first show for CFCArts. I talked with Torres as he was heading into tech week about the challenges and rewards of assembling such a super-sized show, starting with …

… his history with CFCArts:

I will be celebrating 20 years with Disney in October, and that career has been amazing and has led to so many opportunities. … I’m not classically trained, so most of my training [was] going to UCF through Gene Columbus’ theater class; volunteer opportunities in Central Florida have really been my catalyst learning about entertainment. I’ve been with CFCArts for five years, and my big push with all of this work is truly the ability to give back. So many people have given to me in my career, and have taught me how to get to where I am, and all I want to do is be able to give that back to the people as well; allow them a space and an outlet to grow and be their authentic selves.

… expanding the usual definition of “concert staging”:

Justin Muchoney, our VP of production, has truly challenged our teams on how does this community organization with people from everyday lives come together and provide something unique to the community that is different than what people have seen before?

We’re not going to have the full-scale setting that a theatrical venue or a Broadway show would have, but we’re going to have representation of all of that, so there will be costumes, there will be performers, [and] there’s going to be a 120- to 130-piece choir singing these great songs by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. There’s going to be 28 ensemble and principal members who are going to be the characters, helping us tell their story holistically. … Not even on Broadway do you really see a 50-piece orchestra — the bands are usually 15 to 20 — but there’s 50 members of our symphony orchestra coming together.

Beauty and the Beast was the perfect story at the right time to showcase on this big stage, while it’s not only celebrating its 30th anniversary, but Disney is celebrating 100 years.

… building a diverse ensemble: In the current world that we live in, inclusivity, diversity, support and building community are all at the forefront of thought, so who can Belle be? Who can Lumiere or the Beast be? It doesn’t necessarily need to be something that fits the mold of the story. We’re telling our own story. We’re building our own community through the arts, through what Central Florida gives. So when we looked at casting all of the

characters, we focused more on “What talents are you bringing to help us tell this story, [and] how can you be a collaborator in telling this story?” And that lent itself to finding a very diverse cast of not only color and race, but also gender inclusivity and body inclusivity.

… merging many different disciplines with only 17 hours of technical & dress rehearsals together: My approach as artistic director has been collaboration. My reference with the cast is, we’re building a lasagna.

There’s all these various features in it that eventually will come together to create this great experience; we’re building all of these layers, and we’re building on top of each other [and] building those moments. Someone’s working in one room with one team, someone’s working in another room with another team, and now this week — as we get to tech week — is when all of those various layers come together to create the final product.

It really is a beast, for lack of a better word!

… the importance of “community” in CFCArts: We want everyone’s expectations to be set that it’s a concert. What we deliver beyond that expectation is what the wow factor is, but the community part of it is the huge takeaway and this is a community engagement.

This is more about the members, and those volunteering their time to be a part of it, than it is about me [or] any of us on the creative team. We just want to make sure that these people have an outlet to be able to do what they love, and enjoy it.

RIP, PUBLIX HURRICANE CAKES

UZBEK TREK

One Lounge’s Central Asian specialties reveal the dynamic intersection where East meets West

While the name One Lounge doesn’t reveal much, there’s a whole lot to tell about this new International Drive restaurant. The name might land a little less generically when you consider that it may just be the one place in Orlando where a taste of Uzbekistan can be found. Even in the broad spectrum of cuisines available in the area, Uzbek food is especially obscure, which makes One Lounge immediately exciting simply by dint of its existence.

Due to its location on the fringe where Europe and Asia converge, Uzbekistan is a culinary crossroads of sorts. As such, One Lounge’s menu reflects a broader Eurasian intersectionality, with flavors that span Europe and the Middle East.

The restaurant handles those cuisines respectably. The spanakopita ($11.88) is a flaky, flavorful taste of Greece. The chicken adana kebab ($22.88) is a decent Turkish delight featuring well-seasoned ground chicken served with delicious pickled red cabbage salad, yogurt dip, grilled yellow peppers, rice and flatbread.

But the regional specialties from Central Asia — and, in particular, Uzbekistan — are what make One Lounge particularly unique. The Uzbek fare here is a deep dive into not just cuisine but history. Taste the food, and the

influences of all the ancient trade routes converge on your tongue.

More than any other section on the menu, the soups at One Lounge offer the most regional focus, with native tastes from Ukraine (borscht), Russia (okroshka) and Uzbekistan (mastava and shurpa). We enjoyed the shurpa ($10.88), a comforting bowl of home-style broth with chunks of lamb, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers and garbanzo beans, served with a house-baked Uzbek roll.

As for appetizers, the somsa ($10.88) is not only the most traditional Uzbek choice but also one of the most beautiful and tasty dishes of our meal. This exceptional starter features two plump and savory meat pastries — filled with tasty beef cubes and speckled with black and white sesame seeds — that exude fresh-baked goodness.

Of the main courses, the Uzbek national dish of osh plov ($18.88) is the star attraction here. Steeped in tradition, One Lounge’s take on the pilaf specialty is a soulful, hearty rice medley swimming in the savory flavors of fatty lamb and beef, the sweetness of dried currants and

yellow carrots, the heft of garbanzos and a gorgeous spice profile that plays on the palate like a map of history. The serrano pepper on the side only makes their plov that much sexier. A customary and perfect accompaniment to the rich plov is the achichuk salad ($5.88), a fresh foil that brings the lightness of dilled tomato, cucumber and onion.

To bring our journey to a sweet end, we took our server’s recommendation and enjoyed the medovik ($9.99), a Russian honey sponge cake layered with vanilla pastry cream that was light and lovely.

Speaking of service, you’re in great hands if Katya is at your tableside. She not only provided hospitality but helped guide us to the most authentic stuff on the menu.

Although it’s situated in a tourist-trap strip plaza at the intersection of I-Drive and Kirkman Road, One Lounge is definitely trying to inject a different pulse — not just with the food, but with a lounge vibe featuring moody lighting, deep house music, a hookah patio and latenight hours. But it’s the dishes coming out of the kitchen that truly distinguish this spot. The Central Asian flavors and Uzbek specialties served here make One Lounge not simply special but perhaps even singular in Orlando. It’s a fresh culinary breath in an area that spotlights a region often overshadowed between the monoliths of the Eastern and Western worlds.

It’s the end of an era for Lakeland-based grocer Publix.

The company, which will make a cake for just about any occasion unless you’re a college graduate who finished “Summa Cum Laude,” said in a statement that it has instructed bakers not to make hurricane-themed cakes, or “hurricakes,” so as not to “make light” of natural disasters.

In a statement that was actually posted to the company’s website last year, but just recently surfaced on social media, Publix said that while they enjoy “finding ways to delight them with their favorite Publix items as they prepare for uncertainty,” the cakes will no longer be made.

“Our associates make every e ort to support our customers during weather events. Often times, this includes finding ways to delight them with their favorite Publix items as they prepare for uncertainty,” said the company. “For these requests in particular, it is our company policy to not produce bakery cakes that would make light of a natural disaster. We have sent communications to our stores reminding them of our policy.”

It’s tough to say exactly when these viral desserts first started popping up on social media. Some of the earliest images of “hurricakes” appear around 2019, as Hurricane Dorian headed toward Florida.

But the decision by Publix to pull the cakes was made before the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, which saw deadly storms like Ian and Nicole rip across parts of Florida, as well Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and the Bahamas.

Recently, Publix made a showing in Orlando Weekly’s Best of Orlando awards. The chain won first place in Best Fried Chicken and Best Subs in the Readers Poll, and the SoDo Publix received a Writers’ Pick for “Best Grocery Store to Hear Someone Aggressively Playing Ted Nugent on their Bluetooth Speaker in the Cheese Aisle.”

SUPERGAY

Zany and fearless, Bottoms takes on high school from a raunchy lesbian point of view

If this was 20 years ago, Bottoms would kill on the gay & lesbian film festival circuit. As someone who has written about LGBTQ film fests in the past, I found this uber-zany, proudly queer, teen burlesque just the kind of fun, frivolous nonsense programmers would look for to balance out the slew of well-meaning dramas and documentaries that would nevertheless bum everyone — gay, straight, whatever — the fuck out.

But this is 2023, and queer culture is all over movies, television, streaming, etc. From Barbie’s homoerotic humor (weren’t those Kens more into each other than the Barbies?) to Jason Momoa being the Fast and Furious franchise’s first sexually ambiguous villain to the alphabro in the latest A24 scarefest Talk to Me being played by a trans actor to Disney’s The Haunted Mansion, directed by gay director Justin Simien, quietly hinting that Tiffany Haddish and Jamie Lee Curtis could have a wonderful life together, it’s been a, shall we say, fabulous time at the movies this summer.

Bottoms belongs in the more low-budget, indie section of the multiplex. After giving us the claustrophobic comedy Shiva Baby, director Emma Seligman (who is herself gay) and actress Rachel Sennott once again team up to drop their own take on the raunchy teen-sex farce. This time, the desperate, virginal protagonists looking to land some tantalizing teenage girls are teenage girls themselves.

Sennott reunites with the ubiquitous Ayo Edebiri (they starred in the very short-lived Comedy Central web series Ayo and Rachel Are Single) to play PJ and Rosie, two high-school seniors/nerdy lesbians who have crushes on the resident popular cheerleaders (models Havana Rose Liu and Kaia Gerber). When word gets out that their school’s rival football team is attacking students, PJ and Josie set up a self-defense club

for the female students. Of course, they don’t know a damn thing about defending themselves. But since the student body thinks PJ and Rosie have been in juvie (a long story) — and their crushes join the club — they run with the lie.

Bottoms is an hour and 32 minutes of Seligman and Sennott indulging in the same adolescent, horndog fantasies male filmmakers have been slapping on the big screen for generations. Sennott and Edebiri basically play the queer female versions of Jonah Hill and Michael Cera’s lustful teen losers from Superbad. Sennott fearlessly goes into asshole mode at every turn, as her character is so steadfast in her mission to get into a girl’s pants, she doesn’t mind alienating her fellow teenage queer brethren. As for Edebiri, who often acts like a female Donald Glover, she serves as the sheepish straight (pardon the pun) man.

Since this is a comedy written and directed by women, the shenanigans are more satirical — and more feminist. The football-playing boys are constantly in full uniform, all looking like ditzy-ass versions of Kevin from Daria . In fact, the majority of the male characters are gotdamn fools. Leading the charge is former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch, scoring laughs as a false-fact-spewing, goingthrough-a-divorce teacher who becomes the girls’ club sponsor.

As enjoyable as it is watching teen girls be just as horny as the guys, I often felt like the lunacy would get away from Seligman and Sennott. The movie’s such a Mad Magazine-style parody of high school, much of it felt like farce for the sake of farce. Then again, maybe that’s the point; many people will tell you that high school was the most absurd, insane time of their lives. As far as R-rated teen comedies for the ladies go, Bottoms is certainly a more exuberant — and exuberantly gay (in every sense of the word) — film than Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart

Never Let Him Go — ABC Studios presents a docuseries that traces the death of Scott Johnson, an American mathematician whose corpse was found in 1988 near an Australian cliff. Hope it wasn’t Cliff from AC/DC, because he’s always seemed such a decent sort. (Hulu)

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4 — Fresh from their crossover with Strange New Worlds, the crew of the Cerritos are ready for a season of encounters with “new and classic aliens.” OK, two things here: We don’t call them “aliens” anymore, we call them “undocumented life forms”; and I hardly think Melania qualifies as “classic.” (Paramount+)

Virgin River — As if they don’t have enough drama to contend with in their personal lives as Part 1 of Season 5 commences, our cast of intrepid Californians are also staring down the barrel of a rampaging wildfire.

The Changeling — Lakeith Stanfield executive-produced and stars in this miniseries adaptation of the bestseller about a man searching for his wife and child in an “alternate New York City.” In the real one, Mayor Adams would just point you toward the Roosevelt Hotel and then ask you for a campaign contribution. (Apple TV+)

Sitting in Bars With Cake — A pair of 20-something BFFs living in Los Angeles make it their habit to bake cakes at home and bring them into bars to make new friends. It works like a charm, but only because L.A. doesn’t have a Publix bakery. (Prime Video)

YOU GOT A PROBLEM?

Orlando hardcore iconoclasts Problem Child reunite for shows with Zig-Zag

Though we are five years out from the egg punk vs. chain punk meme wars, mutantpunk (varying combinations of the two) is running rampant, with bands multiplying sinusoidally — there seems to be a repetitive nature to the disappearance and reappearance of such bands in large groups.

Devo-loving noise punks will soon be as pervasive as the cowboy boot. First came the era of Warm Bodies and Landline (2016-2018), who were duly replaced by quarantine projects Prison Affair and Snõõper (2020-present). Florida’s Problem Child sprung out of that antecedent period, releasing a hard-hitting demo tape on the first day of 2016.

Problem Child, as per AC/DC, are Jason Perez (vocals), Anthony Rapisardi (guitar), Donald Deyo (bass) and Taylor Yackulics (drums). From their very formation in West Palm, Problem Child were (and very much are) considered a must-see Florida punk act. It’s no wonder why — the frontperson’s brutish thrashes and antics (also on widescreen display in solo endeavor Ch.83) are as unpredictable as a wild hog’s charge. The band responds more than in-kind.

Orlando Weekly finally sat down with Orlandobased Problem Children Jason Perez and Taylor Yackulics to talk about their past and possible futures.

There is practically zero music journalism on Problem Child, besides maybe TLU raving about the rawness of your performance with C.H.E.W. back in the day. How did the band start?

TY: It all started when Antwan and Ice Don asked me to be in a noise-rock band with this guy named Jason. He seemed kind of shady and annoying, and we never played noise-rock.

JP: Sounds about right.

Was this anyone’s first project?

JP: We were in some terrible bands before PC, and now we’re in an even shittier one. We wrote most of the songs on a cat piano and an old metal ashtray in a sweaty warehouse between a stoner metal band and an off-the-grid biker bar/ warehouse. I’m not joking.

TY: This was my first project that I was a founding member of. I didn’t write the songs, it’s three people with good ideas and then I play the drums.

The themes of hopelessness and decay in the early PC demos remind us of both Brian Yuzna’s cult-slasher The Dentist and the Inhuman’s 1980s lo-fi downer “Cheap Novocain.” What inspired you lyrically for Problem Child?

TY: I like songs that make you feel like you pissed your pants in front of the whole class and everyone is laughing at you. You’re crying from embarrassment, but you’re also filled with rage. “Fuck you, you’ll all be sorry when I’m dead.” Piss-your-pants hardcore, that’s what I call [New York hardcore outfit] SQRM. Maybe that’s why Jason is good at it.

JP: That movie looks dope.

“Glue Trap” could not be a more accurate description of the music and content industries today: “Check out my new aesthetic, nostalgia meets ignorance, fueled by web presence.”

TY: I take “Glue Trap” personally because I’m from the suburbs [referring to the song’s first line, “The suburbs are breeding, filling with scum”]. Also, it came out in 2016, so everything is probably infinitely worse now. Obviously, people like to see heinous, kooky behavior online. I like to look at frogs on the internet.

JP: The last good band was the Original Dixieland Jass Band. Cop City/Chill Pillars is a close second, but they still suck.

Building off that, Snõõper — who I am not knocking by any means — are huge now after commercializing a sound that

PROBLEM CHILD with Zig-Zag, Coffee Stain, Super Bitch

8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9 Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. willspub.org $15

predated them by a half-dozen years at least. Why do you think the mutant-/ egg-punk market has become so populated?

TY: I don’t know what Snõõper is, I’ve never listened to them, if that’s a band. But yeah, they fucking suck and they’re the worst band. Next year, Orlando Weekly should add onto their list, “Worst Band Award.” I hope Sn õ õ per’s Tesla full of money malfunctions and drives itself off a cliff. Our tape is on the Jimmy channel, so does that make us egg by default? I’m more of a Japandcrustpunk enjoyer, so I’m chain, but I dress like I have a job because I do, so I’m mutant-punk.

[Note: Japandcrustpunk is a wildly expansive archival YouTube music channel.]

JP: Anyone who uses these terms seriously should listen very closely to my lyrics because the message I’m trying to convey is: Fill your Tesla full of money and drive off a cliff with Snõõper. I still think Primus is the best punk band.

How does this next chapter of Problem Child play out?

TY: I just wanted to do this to get interviewed by Maisie for the Weekly, so tour is canceled now. After this, realistically, we will do nothing. We wrote one new song by emailing each other parts and it sounds dope, so obviously we would never release it. It seriously sounds like Exit Hippies and Hairy Pussy wrote Pet Sounds. It’s that fucking good.

JP: I fully intend to use any money made from merch on this trip to invest in crypto.

Your tour also features returning South Florida band Zig-Zag. What are you looking forward to most?

TY: I’m looking forward to looking up from the drums and seeing Anthony dancing around twinkletoes, Jason with blood coming out of his face, and DJ standing there like Dave Grohl and Jesus Christ had a sexy twink baby. Getting to see Zig-Zag will be amazing. Hopefully they won’t hate us because we are torturously annoying. By the way, I just listened to Snõõper, and holy shit — they owe Mark Winters a Tesla full of money.

JP: I really hope I see Bam Margera [Jackass] somewhere. That would be so cool.

Following Saturday’s Orlando show, Problem Child go on tour with fellow Florida punks Zig Zag, who are reuniting after the untimely passing of guitarist Austin Ashley. Catch them all at Will’s Pub with Coffee Stain and Super Bitch on Saturday. music@orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES

I’ve been writing a lot about Orlando Girls Rock Camp recently because 1) they’re amazing and 2) they’ve been on a tear with their moves lately.

Well, the legacy of the empowering work they do with female, nonbinary and trans youth has now notched a significant new milestone.

To wit, Orlando band Sistamatic have just released their debut single. This is a momentous thing for any young act. But it’s also historic for OGRC, since Sistamatic are not only comprised entirely of alumnae but they’re now the first OGRC product to go on to formally release music.

Released on Sept. 1, new single “Bastard” is an introduction to Sistamatic that arrives more like a grenade than a cherry bomb. In sound, it’s a hard-kicking collision of riot grrrl grit and alt-rock muscle. In subject, it’s singer Bellina López’s catharsis through murder-revenge fantasy aimed at a real-life abuser of hers.

This is Sistamatic, and this is a band that’s not fucking around. “Bastard” now streams everywhere.

but also like good songs. Opening will be Off Track and Midhouse. (8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 7, Will’s Pub, $12)

Crowbar, Primitive Man, Hollow Leg, Pariah, Thrull: Guaranteed, this show will destroy. With a boss onslaught that’s kept them on the mighty NOLA metal vanguard since the 1990s, pioneering doom dealers Crowbar will lay waste with their noxious swamp grooves. And then there’s Denver tourmate Primitive Man, whose bleak fog of doom, sludge, noise and death is the sound of pure, smothering terror. Orlando will only be the second date for this double-barrel tour package, so they’ll be full force.

But wait, the local openers will add even more fury. All-star unit Hollow Leg lay down major tonnage with their stoner sludge metal. Pariah push death metal out to its most pummeling and technical extremities. And Thrull crank out the sickness in a maelstrom of hardcore, metal and noise rock. It’ll be nasty. (7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8, Conduit, $20-$25)

The Rottens, The Problem Pack, The Antidont’s, The Hamiltons: This latest DCxPC Live event is a showcase of native punk talent that’s as loaded as it is diverse. Orlando’s Problem Pack are probably the purest punk act on the bill with their deliciously vicious bite. But the rest of the bands proudly blend genres. The Rottens shoot the strait between hardcore and metal with pure velocity, while the Hamiltons straddle punk and noise rock with brute force. South Florida’s Antidont’s mix it up even more with a classic punk sound that manages to touch on hardcore, skate, surf and even skapunk.

And because it’s a DCxPC show, Danger Room Recording Services will be on hand to do a live recording of all the bands so, who knows, you may find yourself on a future live release if you make enough noise. (7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8, Uncle Lou’s, $5)

Red Beard Wall, Stoned Morose, Nefarious Grime, Lazaras, After Yesterday: If you’re either too broke to go to Friday’s Crowbar show at Conduit or just a glutton for big-ass riffs and oppressive moods, then this Bud Light’s for you. Red Beard Wall are coming all the way from Texas to drop some heaviness in the form of 10-ton stoner doom licks with a savage metal edge.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

Blurry, Off Track, Midhouse: This show’s the contender for “Discovery of the Week.” You may not know Atlanta band Blurry, but you should. Their brawny Southern indie rock is all big guitars and big melodies. While they’ve got lots of grunge spirit in them, their songs have a melodic sensibility more evocative of anthemic 1990s indie rock. It’s a very sweet spot that hits all the buttons for people who like to rock hard

Further tilting the scales will be new Orlando sludge band Stoned Morose, who have helpfully answered the burning question of what they sound like in the title of their debut EP: Pure Hesher Doom

Miami one-woman electronic act Nefarious Grime will add aura with her haunting gothic sounds. Lazarus and After Yesterday round out the bill. That’s a lot of rock for free. (6 p.m.

Durand Bernarr

Durand Bernarr’s “My Bad For Taking So Long … The Wanderlust Tour Continues” tour kicks o in Orlando midweek, a whirlwind that will, appropriately, take Bernarr as far afield as Berlin in the space of two months. Which is a boon for Orlando, because in the artist’s own words, Durand Bernarr is meant to be experienced. We peeped the infamous and viral NPR Tiny Desk set by Bernarr and his band, where the ensemble dressed like Disney’s Proud Family and ran through a set that channeled — again, per Bernarr because his banter is every bit as stellar as his songs — “a smooth, alternative James Brown, vaudeville jingles, Quiet Storm, Chanté Moore, jazz, R&B, Patrice Rushen, hip-hop, bluegrass, country, musical theater, house, funk, opera, rock.” Self-styled “performing artist” Bernarr is a bold new creative voice who should not be missed (apologies to those who slept on buying tickets). Oh what, you need more? Listen and swoon to his cover of Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose,” done as a Spotify exclusive … and weep softly to yourself. We are. 8 p.m., The Abbey, 100 S. Eola Drive, abbeyorlando.com, SOLD OUT. — Matthew Moyer

Olati: Italo Disco Nite

The folks behind Panic! Underground let the dour mask drop for an evening devoted to that most champagne of electronicmusic subgenres, Italo disco. The evening features Bobby Orlando (NM), Deca-Dance (Key Tone), Sasa Lele (Tommy Mot) and Lucky Luciano (DJ Hotfix) spinning deep cuts and classics from this sadly-overlooked late ’70s/’80s Euro-electro movement that gave us dancefloor hymns like “It’s a War,” “Bad Passion” and “Cybernetic Love,” as well as aesthetic moves that are still being swiped to this day. An instructive, if wildly inaccurate and reductive, way to conceptualize Italo disco for the beginner is to strip away electronic body music’s nihilistic future-shock and preoccupations with leather and fishnets and instead sub in Bacchanalian hedonism, satin blazers (most likely pushed up to the elbows) and bold patterns. Sunglasses are, however, de rigueur for all. Fair warning: If they don’t play “Soul Dracula” or (ahem) “Boys,” we riot. 9 p.m., Iron Cow, 2438 E. Robinson St., facebook.com/ panicunderground, $5. — MM

Figurehead Encore Weekend

After a heady year, the History Center is retiring their admittedly impressive Music and Mayhem history of Figurehead exhibition, and marking the end with a packed weekend of events. Things kick o early-evening on Friday with a walking tour conducted by infamous head Figure Jim Faherty that’s sure to be the very definition of madcap. So get over all the jibber-jabber about downtown being the Wild West and go full Merry Prankster with an Orlando original. Saturday night features ’80s/’90s Orlando music luminaries Steven Foxbury, The Riddlers, Greg Reinel and The Tremolords all playing at the Center. Also Ten10 Brewing’s Figurehead beer will be up for purchase. (Surreal.) To cap things o with an appropriate comedown on Sunday, none other than Terri Binion will perform at a Morning After Brunch. Sweet relief. Various times, Orange County Regional History Center, 65 E. Central Blvd., thehistorycenter.org, various prices. — MM

SATURDAY, SEPT. 9

México Canta!

The Orlando Museum of Art, in partnership with Casa de México Orlando, hosts a celebration of Mexican art, culture and entertainment this weekend dubbed México Canta! A Frida Celebration. The event will feature a special performance by Mexican American singer Cecilia Violetta López, who will also star as Frida Kahlo in Opera Orlando’s upcoming MainStage production of the opera Frida. Attendees may enjoy Mexican cuisine and drinks courtesy of Frontera Cocina Mexicana. Dress code is cocktail attire, but take a page from Frida and mix it up with a shoulder monkey or a festive unibrow. 6:30 p.m., Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N. Mills Ave., omart.org, $77.25.

Fix It, Don’t Pitch It

The modern mindset of “throw it away and buy a new one” has become so embedded that it actually costs less to buy a new toaster than to have a broken one repaired, even if it’s a simple fix. Well, the cost may be low in dollars, but we say it’s way too high in self-respect. This city of Winter Park Sustainability Action Plan workshop (in partnership with Orange County and the city of Orlando) is full of folks who know how to darn that

Noah Cyrus

Youngest member of the Cyrus brood and multi-platinum pop star in her own right Noah Cyrus brings her “The Hardest Part” tour to downtown Orlando this week, as one of only two Florida shows. The singer will be promoting her long-awaited debut album The Hardest Part, an album full of big, personal, country-adjacent anthems and widescreen weepers that even includes a duet with Ben Gibbard about a dying relationship (for the indie harrumphers amongst you). So look past all the media obsession with Cyrus’ family feuding and instead listen to maybe the most promising musical voice of that entire clan. 7 p.m., The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $27.50-$125. — MM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In honor of the Virgo birthday season, I invite you to be exceptionally distinctive and singular in the coming weeks, even idiosyncratic and downright incomparable. That’s not always a comfortable state for you Virgos to inhabit, but right now it’s healthy to experiment with. Here’s counsel from writer Christopher Morley: “Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.” Here’s a bonus quote from Virgo poet Edith Sitwell: “I am not eccentric! It’s just that I am more alive than most people.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you sometimes wish your life was different from what it actually is? Do you criticize yourself for not being a perfect manifestation of your ideal self? Most of us indulge in these fruitless energy drains. One of the chief causes of unhappiness is the fantasy that we are not who we are supposed to be. In accordance with cosmic rhythms, I authorize you to be totally free of these feelings for the next four weeks. As an experiment, I invite you to treasure yourself exactly as you are right now. Congratulate yourself for all the heroic work you have done to be pretty damn good. Use your ingenuity to figure out how to give yourself big doses of sweet and festive love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio novelist Kurt Vonnegut testified, “I want to stay as close on the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge, you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center. Big, undreamedof-things — the people on the edge see them first.” I’m not definitively telling you that you should live like Vonnegut, dear Scorpio. To do so, you would have to summon extra courage and alertness. But if you are inclined to explore such a state, the coming weeks will offer you a chance to live on the edge with as much safety, reward and enjoyment as possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Where there is great love, there are always miracles,” wrote Sagittarian novelist Willa Cather (1873–1947). In accordance with upcoming astrological aspects, I encourage you to prepare the way for such miracles. If you don’t have as much love as you would like, be imaginative as you offer more of the best love you have to give. If there is good but not great love in your life, figure out how you can make it even better. If you are blessed with great love, see if you can transform it into being even more extraordinary. For you Sagittarians, it is the

season of generating miracles through the intimate power of marvelous love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author Alexander Woollcott (1887–1943) could be rude and vulgar. He sometimes greeted cohorts by saying, “Hello, Repulsive.” After he read the refined novelist Marcel Proust, he described the experience as “like lying in someone else’s dirty bath water.” But according to Woollcott’s many close and enduring friends, he was often warm, generous and humble. I bring this to your attention in the hope that you will address any discrepancies between your public persona and your authentic soul. Now is a good time to get your outer and inner selves into greater harmony.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1963, Aquarian author Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique, a groundbreaking book that became a bestseller crucial in launching the feminist movement. She brought to wide cultural awareness “the problem that has no name”: millions of women’s sense of invisibility, powerlessness and depression. In a later book, Friedan reported on those early days of the awakening: “We couldn’t possibly know where it would lead, but we knew it had to be done.” I encourage you to identify an equivalent quest in your personal life, Aquarius: a project that feels necessary to your future, even if you don’t yet know what that future will turn out to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: All of them make me laugh.” Piscean poet W.H. Auden said that. After analyzing the astrological omens, I conclude that laughing with those you love is an experience you should especially seek right now. It will be the medicine for anything that’s bothering you. It will loosen obstructions that might be interfering with the arrival of your next valuable teachings. Use your imagination to dream up ways you can place yourself in situations where this magic will unfold.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov says war is “more like a game of poker than chess. On a chess board, the pieces are face up, but poker is essentially a game of incomplete information, a game where you have to guess and act on those guesses.” I suspect that’s helpful information for you these days, Aries. You may not be ensconced in an out-and-out conflict, but the complex situation you’re managing has resemblances to a game of poker. For best results, practice maintaining a poker face. Try to reduce your tells to near

zero. Here’s the definition of “tell” as I am using the term: reflexive or unconscious behavior that reveals information you would rather withhold.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Raised in poverty, Taurus-born Eva Peron became a charismatic politician and actor who served as First Lady of Argentina for six years. The Argentine Congress ultimately gave her the title of “Spiritual Leader of the Nation.” How did she accomplish such a meteoric ascent? “Without fanaticism,” she testified, “one cannot accomplish anything.” But I don’t think her strategy has to be yours in the coming months, Taurus. It will make sense for you to be highly devoted, intensely focused and strongly motivated — even a bit obsessed in a healthy way. But you won’t need to be fanatical.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Ben H. Winters has useful counsel. “Every choice forecloses on other choices,” he says. “Each step forward leaves a thousand dead possible universes behind you.” I don’t think there are a thousand dead universes after each choice; the number’s more like two or three. But the point is, you must be fully committed to leaving the past behind. Making decisions requires resolve. Secondguessing your brave actions rarely yields constructive results. So are you ready to have fun being firm and determined, Gemini? The cosmic rhythms will be on your side if you do.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Journalist Alexandra Robbins was addressing young people when she gave the following advice, but you will benefit from it regardless of your age: “There is nothing wrong with you just because you haven’t yet met people who share your interests or outlook on life. Know that you will eventually meet people who will appreciate you for being you.” I offer this to you because the coming months will bring you into connection with an abundance of like-minded people who are working to create the same kind of world you are. Are you ready to enjoy the richest social life ever?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Author Kevin Kelly is a maverick visionary who has thought a lot about how to create the best possible future. He advocates that we give up hoping for the unrealistic concept of utopia. Instead, he suggests we empower our practical efforts with the term “protopia.” In this model, we “crawl toward betterment,” trying to improve the world by 1 percent each year. You would be wise to apply a variation on this approach to your personal life in the coming months, Leo. A mere 1 percent enhancement is too modest a goal, though. By your birthday in 2024, a 6 percent upgrade is realistic, and you could reach as high as 10 percent.

“BLOW OVER”

Does your standard advice about sexless marriages extend to orally sexless marriages? My wife and I have been together for a couple decades. We met in our late teens, and we are each other’s first and only sexual partners. Oral sex used to be a regular part of our sex life, for the first decade or so, but the BJ frequency has declined to once every couple of years. I’m still game to give and always offer and often go down on my wife as foreplay. But my wife is basically no longer interested in blowing me, even though she’s great at it and I love it. We have a really strong relationship but busy lives with kids and jobs, which definitely impacts her sex drive and energy. It’s not a relationship-ending thing for me, but the thought of not getting my duck sucked more than a few more times for the rest of my life, well, that fucking sucks to think about. I’ve raised it with her a number of times, but she just doesn’t think it’s important and, most frustratingly, plainly isn’t interested in trying to get interested again. We’re committed to monogamy, and outside sexual partners just wouldn’t fit in our lives. I’ve got to imagine this is pretty common. Do I just have to resign myself to a fellatio-deprived future? Or should I expect more?

You can expect more from the woman you married — you can expect all the blow jobs you want — and that might be a reasonable expectation on your part, THH, considering that blow jobs were once a regular part of your marital sex life. But the woman you’re married to now doesn’t wanna suck your dick anymore and/or doesn’t wanna suck your dick more than biannually.

So, what can you do?

Well, you can do what you’re supposed to do. You can communicate your wants and needs to your wife without pressuring her to do anything she doesn’t wanna do. In other words, THH, you can soft-beg your wife for oral sex without being pathetic (no one wants to suck pathetic cock) and without being coercive (no one wants to suck cock under duress, no one should want their cock sucked under duress). But you’ve already tried that — you’ve raised the subject a number of times — and she’s given you her answer: She’s not that interested in sucking your dick anymore and she’s not interested in getting more interested again. And since your wife isn’t a Magic Eight Ball, THH, you can’t just turn her over, give her a shake and get a different answer.

You also have the option of doing what you’re not supposed to do … and I don’t have to tell you what that is. You open by asking if my “standard advice” to people in marriages that are happy-but-sexless or inescapable-but-sexless — do what you need to do to stay married and stay sane — applies in cases of orally sexless marriages. But you close by emphasizing your commitment to monogamy before declaring outside sexual contact a bad fit. So, it really doesn’t matter if my “standard advice” for people in sexless marriages

applies in a case like yours, THH … which, for the record, it doesn’t, since your marriage isn’t sexless. (Suckless ≠ sexless.)

And as much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, based on years of listening to straight married men complain about not getting their dicks sucked and straight married women complain about being expected to suck dick, it’s highly likely blow jobs will come further and further apart, THH, and the enthusiasm with which they’re performed will diminish along with their frequency until they stop altogether.

As for how common this is … it’s so common I honestly think it may not be realistic to expect frequent and/or enthusiastic oral sex two decades into a marriage — particularly if we’re talking about blow jobs to completion and not a little oral-as-foreplay, which is all the oral your wife gets.

Just as the desire for extended make-out sessions seems to fade the longer we’re with someone, the urge to inhale someone’s dick — the desire to do the hard work of getting a guy off with your mouth — seems to fade with time, too. While we can look at that drop and conclude there’s something wrong with our spouses — or something wrong with our marriages — it might be better if we accepted that enthusiastic blow jobs, like those long make-out sessions, come with NRE and fade away along with NRE.

Something else to consider: The longer you’re together, the older you get; the older you get, the longer it takes to get you off. There’s a huge difference between a 10-minute blow job and 30-minute blow job — mostly for the giver. The experience of pleasure is roughly the same for the receiver, but the effort required to suck off a man

in his 40s is exponentially greater than the effort required to suck off a man in his 20s. A man might not realize it’s taking him a lot longer to come from oral as he ages, but the person who blows him is painfully aware of that fact — and may be understandably hesitant to initiate blow jobs when “to completion” is the expectation.

Another thing to consider: If you only go down on your wife as foreplay before pivoting to PIV, you’re probably getting off each time you two have sex. If your wife isn’t getting off every time or as often as she would like (not everyone needs or wants to get off every time), she may be resent you for ignoring her basic needs and not feel particularly motivated to meet your extra-credit needs.

Anyway, THH, the right thing to do is to softbeg your wife for more frequent oral — and you’re likelier to get oral more frequently if you’re as willing to accept oral-as-foreplay as she seems to be and if you’re making sure sex is as pleasurable for her as it is for you. And when you do want a blow job to completion, you’re likelier to get one those in your 40s if you’re willing to help get yourself there, i.e., if you’re willing to work in a little self-stroking to give her breaks and get yourself closer. And just so we’re clear: My standard advice for sexless marriages doesn’t apply in cases like yours, THH. Your marriage isn’t sexless, just suckless.

I asked the married straight women who follow me on Twitter and Threads why they weren’t sucking their husbands’ dicks anymore. Obvious answers poured in — oral wasn’t reciprocated, poor personal hygiene, no longer in love, guilty admissions that sucking dick was a strategy — so I rephrased the question and asked again. I wanted to hear from women who A, still loved their husbands; B, used to love sucking cock, but C, no longer sucked cock to explain what changed. Here are a few of their letters.

My husband and I have been together for 12 years. We have a loving relationship and I’m not looking to go anywhere but have to admit that I would be a bit more excited to suck some newto-me dick. I’d also wager there’s some fucked-up purity culture fallout involved — I was raised in the church and tend to fantasize about the forbidden, and there’s nothing forbidden about sex with your husband.

Blow jobs are fantastic. I love giving them — but at this point, I’d rather give a stranger a blow job than my husband. I don’t think there is any issue with the act, but with all the cultural bullshit women are exhausted by … blow jobs are something men feel entitled to, yet another act of service women are expected to perform. In reality, a married woman’s entire day is an act of service. I do all of the emotional labor and take on the entire mental load of running a family and household, all while also having a full-time job. I miss giving blow jobs for fun.

I love my husband. We’ve been married for a decade, we have two children, and I actually think we are having the best sex of our married lives now. We’ve actually been getting kinkier and more adventurous as we get older. That said, I do not like giving head anymore, at all. And I know I’m not alone, since many of my married girlfriends have told me they feel the same way. It’s hard to find an angle that doesn’t pinch my neck or hurt my knees, and it’s not fun to be reminded that your body has gotten older and creakier in the middle of sex. And since it’s not very fun for me, I don’t think it’s fun for my husband. Maybe head is just a young person’s game.
