A couple of weeks ago, our cover story was a personal essay by Samuel Ligon, agonizing over the push-pull of gun ownership in a state where armed militias are growing (“Gun school: A true story of fear, fatherhood and the collapse of the empire,” Oct. 20). The ambiguity of Ligon’s feelings was reflected in the responses we received from readers. A lively yet (mostly) surprisingly respectful discussion sprang up on our Facebook page between readers self-identifying as Republicans, conservatives, leftists, liberals and anarchists. We appreciate these reactions, which mostly ran counter to our writer’s point of view, yet were expressed in (mostly) valid and non-abusive terms. The responses below are from some of our frequent sharpest critics as well as a few first-time readers. I am a contractor and I picked up a recent copy of Orlando Weekly when I was working at a local university. I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, so I grabbed it and threw it in the truck. I am always open to other people’s opinions about something that is so polarizing. My takeaway from this person’s article is the number of times he used the word “hate” in the story. Toward the end he writes “I hated this” or “we hated that” a number of times. I believe that if you hate something that controls you. In this instance, if I were in his hometown and he saw me with a firearm strapped to my side, he would hate me. At that very moment in time I am in control of his emotions, I am in control of his next actions, and I am in control of his mind for the next few minutes that he will never get back. The beautiful thing about the documents our forefathers wrote is that they provide him an opportunity to protest, to march, to try and make change. The days of discussion, tolerance and patience are gone from this country, as well as a number of things that I’ll not discuss here. Given that everybody wants to call somebody a hater of something else it is unfortunate that this person hates so many things. Despite the fact that I am a 56-year-old white male redneck I don’t hate anything. But if I was to hate one thing, it would be cigarette butts. — Greg Johnson, Orlando
@Victor Chin: Wow, I didn’t expect such an honest article about firearm ownership on this site. Everything he said was true. There is a “fever” to wanting to be able to protect oneself and their family. This was actually how I started to lean toward conservatism. I had a son and no one on earth was going to take me from him or him from me. So I purchased a .38 Special Taurus from a pawnshop in
Longwood. Then I took lessons. And soon I started to learn that everything I have been told about gun ownership growing up was a lie. The more I trained, the more I saw how it was my responsibility to care for my family. Then I started to think, what else have I been lied to all my life about … this is how I went from liberal to conservative over the course of a few years. Today I am a certified firearm instructor. I can see the author taking the very same steps. And I applaud him. One thing I would recommend for everyone is to take more than just the initial class. Get further training than just going to the range. Once you learn to control the firearm, people will see it for what it is — just a tool. So many people hold it like a dead mouse at first, LOL. I know the author is going to buy a gun. And eventually he will buy more than one. And then he will actually get his concealed carry permit. And then he will look back and see what a dummy he was for being “mad” at that person at the store. I have seen this happen so many times.
@Dave Oswald: Exactly none of the people mentioned in this article should own a gun. @Manuel Gomez: “I’d be able to shoot all kinds of people with it — in selfdefense.” That is the wrong kind of mindset. You don’t “shoot all kinds of people” for anything. You should only stop “imminent danger of great bodily harm or death.” That’s it. I found [the writer’s] paranoia, fear and insecurity very disturbing. And to make matters worse, his constant “killing killing killing” remarks were also unsettling. I agree with Dave: None of them should own guns. Although, I believe in rights over security. Some stupidity can be fixed, but we can’t get our rights back once we lose them. The author is the perfect example of what Colion Noir once said: “Just because you don’t trust yourself with a gun, it doesn’t mean I don’t trust myself with a gun.” That is exactly why gun-grabbers call us names. It is all psychological projection. They are the scared ones. The ignorant. And dangerous. His mindset is the greatest example of it.
@Alyss Casey: Hi, trans girl here. Take it from me, leftists love guns, just thought you should know that. I’m on the left, and I assure you, nobody wants to take away your guns. That’s fearmongering and propaganda. The reality is, nobody is coming for your guns, ever. You can relax a bit. orlandoweekly.com

Patronis invites vax-shy In-N-Out to Florida, OnlyFans mom barred from volunteering at schools, and other news you may have missed last week. »
Patronis invites In-N-Out to Florida to run animal-style all over public health and safety Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis is pushing to bring iconic West Coast burger chain In-N-Out to Florida, following the chain’s pushback against vaccine mandates in California. The lone San Francisco location of the fast food chain was closed briefly after failing to check customers’ vaccination status, a requirement for indoor dining under a citywide mandate. “We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” In-N-Out chief legal officer Arnie Wensinger said in a statement to CBS. Patronis reached out to tout the corporate handouts on offer in Florida, telling In-N-Out president Lunsi Snyder, “The business climate here is perfect, with no personal income tax, low corporate taxes, an educated workforce and a fantastic quality of life.”

Orlando mom barred from volunteering at schools after OCPS discovers her OnlyFans account An Orange County mom has been barred from volunteering at her children’s elementary school after officials were made aware of her job as an adult entertainer. Victoria Triece said she had been volunteering with the Orange County school district for nearly five years when she received word from the district that she could no longer lend a hand at Sand Lake Elementary. She was booted from the countywide volunteer program after a parent found her account on OnlyFans, a website where users can subscribe to models to receive explicit photos and videos. Triece was required to pass a background check to become a volunteer and has no criminal record. Triece pointed out that the explicit photos of can only be seen by an adult who pays to access them.

Florida’s surgeon general says he can’t communicate clearly while wearing a mask Brand-new Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo made national headlines after Sen. Tina Polsky said last week he refused to put on a mask when he and two aides arrived in the waiting area of her office to discuss his pending Senate confirmation. Ladapo defended his decision not to wear a mask when attempting to meet with Polsky even after she informed him she had a serious medical condition by saying he cannot communicate clearly “when half of my face is covered.”

Michelin stars are finally coming to Orlando-area restaurants
»
Hope Partnership to host a ‘Hope Holiday Village’ charity event in December
The world’s oldest and best-known restaurant rating system is finally coming to Florida. Visit Florida, the state’s public-private tourism agency, announced today that it has reached an agreement to bring Michelin Guide to Florida. The first Michelin guide for Florida will debut in spring of 2022, and will only include the Tampa, Orlando and Miami metro areas. Founded in France in the late 1880s, the highly coveted rating guide system is nearly 120 years old and is found mostly in Europe. Until recently, Michelin ratings were only found in four U.S. metros: Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
Kissimmee’s Hope Partnership announced their “Hope Holiday Village” is set to happen on Dec. 17-18. The tradition gives Hope Partnership’s clients the opportunity to select holiday gifts for their families. Hope is looking for donations of toys and time to make the holiday season a little merrier for those in Osceola County dealing with housing issues and food insecurity. You can apply to become a volunteer with Hope Partnership or drop off toys in person. news@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

CRASH! BANG! POW! DeSantis casts himself as the resistance as Florida sues the Biden White House BY RYA N DA ILEY, NSF
H
alloween has come and gone, but Gov. Ron DeSantis is still sporting his superhero costume, casting himself as a powerful line of defense against the White House. DeSantis last week issued an ominous warning when he and Attorney General Ashley Moody announced a lawsuit challenging moves by the Biden administration to require employees of federal contractors to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccinations by Dec. 8. “This is not the end of it,” DeSantis said. “I think we know, they always say, ‘Oh, well, we just need to do this.’ And then they go on to the next thing. And then the next thing and the next thing. And so, it’s important for us to take a stand, not only for what’s at stake here with the folks that could be affected, but also knowing that if you don’t give resistance to this, you’re going to continue to see other things, and they’re going to absolutely do more.” The lawsuit was filed in U.S. district court in Tampa against several defendants, including President Joe Biden, NASA, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, the federal Office of Management and Budget and the federal General Services Administration. This isn’t the first time DeSantis has billed himself as standing between Floridians and what the governor frequently characterizes as the heavy hand of the Biden administration. Portraying himself as the hero to Biden’s villain has been a major part of DeSantis’ playbook, as the governor seeks re-election next year and is widely considered to be a potential Republican candidate for president in 2024. During an August news conference
in Panama City, for example, DeSantis launched into a monologue about issues such as COVID-19 mandates. “If you’re trying to deny kids a proper in-person education, I’m gonna stand in your way and I’m gonna stand up for the kids in Florida. If you’re trying to restrict people, impose mandates, if you’re trying to ruin their jobs and their livelihoods and their small business, if you are trying to lock people down, I am standing in your way and I’m standing for the people of Florida,” DeSantis said. When DeSantis tries to stand in the way of Biden, it usually means a lawsuit is coming. The state, for example, is currently battling with the federal government in court about COVID-19 guidelines for the cruise-ship industry and immigration policies. Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, a Democrat running for governor in 2022, criticized the latest lawsuit. “This daily dose of vitriol from DeSantis is exhausting, dangerous, and doesn’t create a job, lift up a child, or solve any of many challenges of our state,” Fried said in a Twitter post Thursday.
Right back at you
The legal slugfest between DeSantis and the Biden administrations cuts both ways. The U.S. Department of Education on Thursday filed a complaint requesting that an administrative law judge order Florida to stop withholding funds from school districts that received federal money to cover school board members’ salaries. The cease-and-desist complaint was filed in the federal education department’s Office of Administrative Law Judges. The complaint was the latest move after
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “Having a conversation with someone while wearing a mask is not something I find productive, especially when other options exist. It is important to me to communicate clearly and effectively with people. I can’t do that when half of my face is covered.”
— State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, in defense of his decision not to wear a mask when attempting to meet with state Sen. Tina Polsky, who told him she had a serious medical condition.
“What is not appropriate is to have the federal government come in, blundering into state and local matters, and acting like they have a right to facilitate a local district breaking state law,” DeSantis said during a news conference in Eustis.
the State Board of Education approved financial penalties that targeted school board members’ pay in eight districts that voted to enact student mask mandates, although several of the districts have walked back or dropped mask requirements. The federal education department awarded funds to two Florida districts to backfill amounts lost to the state penalties. The state then turned around and withheld amounts equal to the federal money. In the complaint Thursday, the federal education department wrote that it was notified by school officials in Alachua and Broward counties that the Florida Department of Education “withheld from each (district) monthly state education aid” in the amounts of the federal funding. “This action taken by the (Florida) department comes after we made repeated requests to work together and protect students, educators, and school communities. We believe Florida’s actions have violated federal law by reducing state funds based on the receipt by districts of federal funds,” the federal department wrote in a statement. DeSantis on Friday criticized the federal government for trying to intervene as his administration seeks to punish the school board members. orlandoweekly.com
Spend big at small businesses
Discounts for shoppers would be offered through a sales-tax “holiday” at small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, under a pair of bills filed Monday for the 2022 legislative session, which will start in January. The bills (SB 712 and HB 439) by Sen. Annette Taddeo, D-Miami, and Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, D-Orlando, would establish the “Small Business Saturday” holiday during one of the busiest shopping times of the year. Under the proposal, sales taxes would not be charged on items that cost $500 or less. Small businesses would have the option to participate in the tax holiday, which likely would be part of a larger package of tax holidays offered by the state. During this spring’s session, lawmakers approved a $196.3 million tax package that included tax holidays on backto-school items, hurricane-preparation gear and entertainment and outdoor activities. news@orlandoweekly.com ●

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki doesn’t get it. What do you people want?
NO EASY WINS
OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE PHOTO BY ERIN SCOTT
Why no one’s happy with Biden’s historic first year — in politics, projection matters more than accomplishment BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N
By the end of the week — if the House
and Senate can get the infrastructure and reconciliation packages across the finish line — the Biden White House will have pushed through more than $4 trillion in pandemic stimulus and social, climate and infrastructure spending in less than 10 months. This will represent the country’s most serious investment in green energy to date, establish universal pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds, and extend child tax credits and expanded Affordable Care Act subsidies, among other consequential things. In real dollars, it will be more than four times larger than the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. As a percentage of the gross national product, it will be about half the size of the New Deal. Yet progressives are demoralized, President Biden is underwater, and in NBC News polling released this weekend, only 22% of the country believes the country is on the right track. No less alarmingly, respondents rated Republicans 13 points better at getting things done. Political memories are short, but this is the same Republican Party that, in two years of controlling Washington, passed a tax cut for rich people and virtually nothing else. Though congressional Democrats helped pass the CARES Act and other pandemic-relief measures last year — without which Donald Trump would own a Second Great Depression as well as the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover — respondents also said by 18 points that Republicans were better for the economy, as if George W. Bush never existed. (It’s difficult to imagine Republican
House leader Kevin McCarthy extending Joe Biden the same courtesy were the roles reversed.) There are a few things to keep in mind when reading polls like this. First, Democrats are still winning the generic congressional ballot, which indicates that some of the dissatisfaction comes from Democrats who, in a general election, will almost certainly come home. But that doesn’t mean their disillusionment should be taken lightly. Just because they get worked up over Donald Trump doesn’t mean they’ll vote in the midterms (see 2010). Second, though Biden’s popularity tailspin began in earnest with the Afghanistan withdrawal, his biggest problem is anemic economic growth — a result of the Delta outbreak that tore through the unvaccinated. This, of course, wasn’t helped by Republican leaders who proudly resisted the “tyranny” of masks and vaccine mandates. In other words, Biden is paying for his adversaries’ weaponized stupidity. The more optimistic take: Should the latest COVID wave continue to wane, experts expect the economy to recover over the remainder of the year. Biden’s numbers should rise with it, though probably not by much. That’s because — third — this is a polarized country, and somewhere around 45% of Americans would disapprove of Biden even if he personally cured cancer. Most Republicans think he’s an illegitimate president, and nearly 75% of Trump voters are convinced that American democracy is under a “major threat” from election-stealing Democrats. (It is under threat, but that’s not why.) The bottom line is that if and when Democrats pass
their agenda, the baked-in perception of ineptitude and cravenness developed by months spent in a circular firing squad — or, put nicely, negotiations — might cancel many of the political gains. There’s something instructive about that. Donald Trump, a consummate bullshit artist, understood that winning in politics is more about projection than accomplishment. He did little more than inherit a growing economy and maintain its growth until everything fell apart, while claiming to have created the greatest economy in American history — an obvious lie repeated until it became an article of faith among his cult and its cable news propagandists. But when Democrats craft sweeping legislation — the ACA in 2010, Build Back Better now — over unrelenting Republican obstruction, the process inevitably bogs down into a wheel-spinning, soul-sucking mess, and the public has no idea what happened except that Republicans say we’re communists now. Sure, the Beltway media hasn’t acquitted itself particularly well, nor done the country any favors, by obsessing over optics and horse race politics, reporting on spending through reductive Republican framing — not addressing climate change and the prohibitive expense of child care has financial implications, too — and chasing after Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema like horny teenagers. And yes, the roadblocks erected by Manchin and Sinema have been infuriating and self-defeating. Manchin killed paid family leave and scaled back the child tax credit extension to one year — eliminating and minimizing two of the package’s most popular components — while making sure to look out for his family’s coal interests in West Virginia. Sinema did her pharma overlords’ bidding, blocking a change that would have allowed Medicare to negotiate drug prices and objecting to the repeal of tax cuts she voted against three years ago, costing Democrats precious revenue options. And so, when all is said and done — if it gets done — the U.S. will still be the only developed nation without paid family leave, and it will still be light-years behind its climate goals. Progressives will fume — rightly so — about missed opportunities. Manchinema will feel like they’ve contributed enough, so don’t expect anything more from them. Conservatives will hyperventilate about socialism and debt, conveniently forgetting the trillions of dollars Trump’s tax cuts added to the national ledger. The left will emerge dejected and Republicans energized, setting up a repeat of 2010 next year. In the wake of Democrats’ losses a decade ago, pundits blamed health care reform and “overreach.” They’ll probably do something similar next year. But, as ever, that will be a facile interpretation. The problem isn’t how much the legislation costs (over a decade, about a quarter of what we give the Pentagon each year) or how much it will add to the deficit (nothing). It’s that Democrats’ lack of cohesion projected weakness. With a sputtering economic recovery and a stubborn pandemic, that weakness became salient. In a political system that, through intention and accident, frustrates majority rule, privileges special interests, and defaults to the status quo, passing major legislation is messy. If Democrats learned to take the easy Ws, they’d be better off politically. Then again, easy wins are seldom meaningful.

TOUCHING THE THIRD RAIL
In their last legislative session ahead of next year’s elections, will Florida lawmakers vote to pass the highly controversial abortion ban? BY MELISSA HERNANDEZ DE LA CRUZ AND ANNA WILDER
T
he high-stakes court fight unfolding over the off-again, on-again abortion law newly passed in Texas threatens to throw into confusion plans by Florida lawmakers to pass a similarly restrictive law banning abortions after a physician can detect a fetal heartbeat. Florida’s Republican-controlled Legislature already has failed twice in the past two years to pass a so-called “heartbeat” bill. Efforts in Florida in 2019 and 2020 died before any hearings or votes could be scheduled. The Legislature’s latest effort is a bill introduced six weeks ago by Rep. Webster Barnaby, R-Orange City. It would be considered during the 2022 legislative session — even amid a national court fight over the Texas law that is still unfolding. In Washington this week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments for an emergency halt to the Texas law, considered one of the most severe restrictions on abortions in decades. It sparked protest marches across several Florida cities. The Biden administration’s latest efforts came after a federal appeals court had reinstated the Texas law, quickly overturning a trial judge’s ruling to block the law. Would Florida lawmakers — in their last legislative session ahead of next year’s elections — vote to pass such a highly controversial measure before the legal ping-pong settles? The move could infuriate abortionrights Democrats and independents and lead to unexpected surges in turnout in November’s voting. Republican enthusiasm already appears tempered over the proposal. Barnaby has remained mysteriously quiet, declining to say much publicly about his bill — by far the most substantial of three he has introduced so far. No other Republicans have signed on as co-sponsors. (After declaring he’d be the first to file a version in Florida, Lake County Republican Rep. Anthony Sabatini told press he would instead co-sponsor it. As yet, he is not listed as a co-sponsor.) Gov. Ron DeSantis — also facing re-election next year — hasn’t been openly enthusiastic, either. Asked at a public event about Barnaby’s bill, DeSantis could not clearly explain how it differed from the Texas law and promised to look more closely at it. He said he had consistently opposed abortion rights as a congressman and governor. Mary Ziegler, a Florida State University law professor specializing in reproductive rights, said DeSantis’ tight-lipped stance toward the bill shows there is no clear position among Florida Republicans on abortion bans. Some religious conservative voters want a Texas-
style ban, but it’s unclear whether Florida voters more broadly want one. “The politics of abortion in Florida for Republicans are complicated, and this bill is a reminder of that,” Ziegler said. She added: “Historically, Florida has a larger prochoice community than Texas does. So I think it’s riskier politically for Republicans to pass this kind of bill.” Like the new law in Texas, Barnaby’s bill would prohibit abortions after six weeks, a small window after a missed period, and uses private citizens as a policing force to sue anyone who helps a woman get an abortion. It was assigned for consideration to two committees — Health & Human Services and Judiciary — plus a public health subcommittee.
Rep. Anna Eskamani of Orlando says the political consequences of a bill like Barnaby’s could be dire for Republicans in swing districts so close to the next election.
The bill would allow people to be sued “regardless of whether the person knew or should have known that the abortion would be performed” in violation of the law. Lawsuits could be filed up to six years later. The bill has already energized abortion-rights Democrats. Both candidates running for their party’s nomination in the governor’s race have weighed in. Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Florida, called the bill “a direct attack on a woman’s right to choose.” Agriculture
Commissioner Nikki Fried called it “dangerous, radical and unconstitutional.” Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, said the political consequences of a bill like Barnaby’s could be dire for Republicans in swing districts so close to the next election. She acknowledged Republicans have the sheer numbers to approve such legislation in Florida, but said not all Republicans agree on a six-week abortion ban. “This is not a red versus blue issue,” said Eskamani, who worked at Planned Parenthood for six years before she ran for office. “One in four American women have had an abortion in this country, and that does include Republicans.” Barnaby is relatively safe in his district electorally: No other candidate, Democrat or Republican, has yet filed to run against him next year, and he easily won election in his district in Volusia County with 56 percent of the vote in 2020. Trump performed only slightly better in the county in 2020. The founder of a prominent Florida anti-abortion group, Andrew Shirvell of Florida Voice for the Unborn, said the upcoming election was an incentive for Republicans to vote on the bill. The group lobbied with other anti-abortion organizations for a bill requiring parental consent for abortions passed last year. “Florida is in the best position,” Shirvell said. “The Supreme Court has given the Florida Legislature a game plan on how to enact a anti-abortion law pretty much prohibiting most abortions without directly addressing, so far, Roe versus Wade.” Shirvell acknowledged there could be consequences for Republicans in tight districts, and said he wasn’t happy about the lack of enthusiasm expressed so far over the bill. “I’m not afraid to say it, I’m not happy with the way it was rolled out,” he said. “You have to be confident about what you’re filing and not afraid.” Elsewhere in Florida, abortion rights are being fought at local government levels. Manatee County, which includes Bradenton on Florida’s west coast, submitted a draft ordinance to the attorney general’s office advice that would ban abortions at any stage of pregnancy and prohibit possession of abortion-inducing drugs. Emergency contraceptives, such as Plan B, would not be prohibited. Abortion-rights activists said they were worried other cities or counties will follow. Some anti-abortion activists consider emergency contraception drugs to be the moral equivalent of abortion-inducing drugs, but medical experts note that medications like Plan B prevent pregnancy by delaying the ovulation process and would be ineffective for a woman who was already pregnant. “Manatee County specifically is the front runner for bringing the ban into Florida,” said Sarah Parker, co-founder of Women’s Voices of South Florida. “It’s much more likely that it will start here before it will pass statewide.” This story was produced by Fresh Take Florida, a news service of the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications.

BODY OF EVIDENCE
,‘THE ARCHIVIST’ BY KYLE SMITH FROM ‘FIELD GUIDE TO EMBODIED ARCHIVING’
Artist and writer Leah Sandler marks the release of a new book with a rare performance this weekend BY MATTHEW MOY E R

Though the CPCH Instagram went dormant, Sandler’s resulting lockdown in 2020, one of the more riveting local social media feeds was the Center for Post- pace of investigations and work only ramped up. She began Capitalist History. Nightly updates were posted wherein to compile what would become her new book, Field Guide the ever-rising COVID numbers in Florida were read in a to Embodied Archiving, recently published by tastemaking dispassionate voice, taking deadpan jabs at positive thinking Orlando area lit imprint Burrow Press. The association with Ryan Rivas and Burrow Press goes and Florida’s “open for business’ mentality. The speaker took slow, deliberate drags off a cigarette, stared holes in back five years or more and includes Sandler co-curating a the viewer. This was the project of artist, writer and critic pop-up art show, Housewifes, in conjunction with Burrow’s Leah Sandler, attempting to come to terms with her — our release of Rita Ciresi’s book The Second Wife in 2018. “Ryan Rivas has been incredibly active in Orlando creating — new reality. “The beginning of the pandemic felt like my para- connections between the silos of creative disciplines and getting visual artists involved in fictional world was bleeding the local lit scene,” says Sandler. “I into my daily existence,” says got in touch with Ryan after some Sandler. “I was monitoring the LEAH SANDLER intense writing and art-making Health Department’s COVID-19 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 6 during the first few months of Dashboard with the death toll The Nook on Robinson quarantine, and Burrow offered numbers when the pandemic first 2432 E.

It felt like living through free The resulting tome, Field Guide a dystopian horror movie and I to Embodied Archiving, is an channeled the anxiety I was experiencing through a series of CPCH Instagram videos ambitious critique of capitalism’s hollow promises through reporting those numbers. I announced the rising death toll text, illustrations and photography that are presented like the midpoint between a museum catalog and an nightly until it just started to get too depressing.” The CPCH has been an ongoing concern for Sandler instructional manual for fraught times. The book obliquely since 2015, existing in many mediums but always focusing demonstrates how every human’s “body-archive” reveals the incongruity between the capitalist promises of plenty on a consistent message. “It is a para-fictional museum that exists after the fall of and the explicit realities of alienation and a ravaged planet. Befitting a deconstruction of the myth of rugged capitalism, in a world ravaged by climate change with a lot of inherited epistemological problems,” explains Sandler. individualism, the book was very much a collaboration. “The Center for Post-Capitalist History is a conceptual “The para-fiction is in many ways an attempt to visualize project that finds form through collaboration,” says Sandler. the precarity of our contemporary moment.” And in the very precarious moments that made up 2020, “The project is world-building, and it’s a lot better and
more fun when other folks collaborate. It’s a crucial part of the process conceptually as well. While the Center for Post-Capitalist History project’s purpose is to create a para-fictional institution that has one foot in reality and the other in fiction, it has established a real, functioning organization of individuals working to create the fiction’s facade of reality. “I worked with Britta Seisums Davis, an incredibly talented graphic designer who I have known since middle school, and Kyle Smith, my partner and a visionary photographer and videographer, to create the Field Guide.” The collective creativity has produced an aesthetically gorgeous monograph, fit for any coffee table in the 407, and a worthy successor to Sandler’s past zines. But there was an intentionality to this book that subtly takes digs at the notion of fine art and collectability. “As an artist, I am interested in the political and poetic potential of mediums that subvert the exclusionary history of ‘fine art’ in the Western traditions and canons that I’m entrenched in,” says Sandler. “The aura of print media has historically been one of accessibility. I’m super into that.” Though Field Guide to Embodied Archiving has been out since early September, Saturday is the official launch party for the book. Continuing the Nook on Robinson’s streak of adventurous outdoors events — 2 Pianos, Circuit Church, Please Understand — the evening will feature Sandler showing CPCH videos, doing a “performative reading” from the text and taking audience questions. And even as Sandler closes the book (so to speak) on one project, another, nearly as ambitious one arises. She will be part of the Billboard Exhibition of artists turning billboards along I-4 into pieces of visual and conceptual art. Sandler is one of the 30 artists chosen by organizers Pat Greene and the Downtown Arts District, with a January 2022 launch. “My billboard design is site-specific to the I-4 corridor and its infamous reputation as a microcosm of the political climate of the entire weird state,” says Sandler. “The piece is a still image from a hand-drawn, digitally animated video I created as an ambiguous acknowledgement of the messiness of Floridian political theatrics and our vulnerability to climate change.” An archivist’s work is never done.

Both Intimate Apparel at Orlando Shakes and Opera Orlando’s La Traviata had a lot to say about the transformative power of putting on a costume Dressing up as someone you’re
not is at the very heart of Halloween, but after over a year of largely living in my pajamas, the best costume I could muster for last weekend’s festivities was Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (I only need to put on a black suit and smug attitude). However, I was more than happy to dress up in a similar fashion for last week’s return of full-cast indoor performances from two of Central Florida’s most significant performing arts companies. And fittingly for the All Hallows season’s final bow, both Intimate Apparel at Orlando Shakes and Opera Orlando’s La Traviata at the Dr. Phillips Center turned out to have a lot to say about the transformative power of putting on a costume. Before diving into the productions, it’s worth noting that as city-owned venues both the Lowndes Shakespeare Center and the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts require all attendees to show either proof of full vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test — along with photo ID — before entering the building. Lest anyone howl about HIPAA, Shakes posts a quote from Gov. DeSantis’ press secretary affirming that such checks are kosher. In addition, everyone except the on-stage performers must remain masked indoors (except while sipping drinks), which made going back to these theaters feel about as safe as possible under the circumstances.
Orlando Shakes’ “Homecoming
Season” started in September with the one-woman play Every Brilliant Thing, and the company has now returned to multiactor shows inside the Margeson Theater with Intimate Apparel by Pulitzer Prize-
OPERA ORLANDO’S ‘LA TRAVIATA’ WAS A TRIUMPH | PHOTO BY SETH KUBERSKY
winning playwright Lynn Nottage. Esther (Lilian Oben) has a successful career creating exquisite undergarments for Manhattan women, with a client list ranging from a socialite (Laurel Hatfield) to a prostitute (Martine Fleurisma), and a quilt stuffed with savings toward her dream of opening a salon. But she’s tired of being nagged about her spinsterhood by her busybody landlady (Trenell Mooring), so when she begins tentative courtships with two unavailable men — a Caribbean construction worker (Chris Lindsay) who woos her with long-distance letters and a nebbishy garment salesman (Adam T. Biner) who shyly seduces her with exotic silks — you know it’s only a matter of time before somebody’s heart gets broken. This could easily be the setup for a Nora Ephron-esque romcom, except for the fact that Esther is a Black woman in New York at the turn of the 20th century, so race is the subtextual current lurking just beneath her story’s surface, inexorably tugging her potential fairy tale toward a grim reality that’s equal parts O. Henry and E.L. Doctorow. Nottage’s emotionally harrowing script repeatedly emphasizes the universal importance of touch — whether the feel of fabric on flesh or human skin-to-skin contact — as a metaphor for connecting with people whose individuality was historically erased, most strikingly illustrated by projected photo captions reducing this complex
courtesan, Violetta (Cecilia Violetta López) has become a cancer patient running illegal high-stakes poker games, loosely inspired by the real-life convict Molly Bloom (who consulted and provided an audio intro for the production). The modern-day trappings — highlighted by costumer Ann Louise Piano’s outrageous uptown fashions and director/ designer Grant Preisser’s posh penthouse set — helped make the antiquated social mores that drive the plot somewhat more accessible. But it was Lopez’s passionate lead performance — and the genuine sparks she generated with Victor Ryan Robertson as her star-crossed paramour, Alfredo — that made missing this Traviata a travesty. It’s one thing to simply stand still and belt your way through a big aria; Lopez can hit all the high notes with breathtaking purity of tone, while simultaneously writhing on her deathbed in the fetal position, a remarkable act of both physical strength and emotional vulnerability. Some purists might have been put off by all the updates. However, if opera’s audience is going to grow, instead of simply aging out of existence, then this is exactly the kind of imaginative dressing up the genre needs more of — especially if Opera Orlando wants to fill up the seats in the nearly completed Steinmetz Hall for generations to come.
heroine to an “Unidentified Negro.” In lesser hands, Intimate Apparel might come across as manipulative melodrama, but Esther’s indomitable will blazes from Oben’s eyes with an intensity that could burn a hole in the back wall; you can’t help hanging on her every triumph and tragedy, right up to the somber yet satisfying conclusion. Technical elements are equally impactful, as designer Stephen Jones’ revolving triptych set presents a period-perfect platform for costumer Dana Rebecca Woods’ sumptuous couture. My only nitpick is that (at least during the opening act of the preview I attended) the actors tended to yell their lines at the last row of the half-empty auditorium instead of simply speaking to each other, despite wearing microphones; the shouting settled down in the second half, so I trust director Shonn McCloud can nudge this talented cast into the intimacy Nottage’s script demands.

Orlando’s triumphant return to the Dr. Phillips Center for the mainstage kickoff of their “Viva Verdi” 2021-2022 season only ran for two performances, because if more non-opera fans had the opportunity to experience this contemporary reimagining of La Traviata, they might become converts to the art form.

MASTER OF MARGARITAS With a menu as long as a sacred text, Las Carretas Mexican Restaurant is a temple of Mexican cuisine BY HOLLY V. KAPHERR
I
usually steer clear of restaurants with lengthy menus. To my mind, there’s no way the kitchen could possibly cook all of it well, not to mention the logistics involved in storing and rotating so many different ingredients. Something’s gotta give. But Las Carretas Mexican Restaurant challenged my paradigm and has me rethinking that assumption. The menu at the East Orlando Mexican restaurant, which has garnered somewhat of a cult following since opening a few months ago, is really, really, really long (really). But everything I tried on my recent visit had me longing to return. I recommend previewing the seven-page menu online to narrow down your choices, lest you find yourself speechless and overwhelmed when the friendly, attentive waitstaff come to take your order. This happens to me regularly, even at restaurants with shorter menus. At Las Carretas, where the menu requires second or third flip-throughs, it’s almost guaranteed. Did I mention that the menu is long? The best way to get the fiesta started at Las Carretas is with a cocktail. The restaurant takes its 19 margaritas very seriously: All are available in small, medium and pitcher sizes. My companion opted for the Tamarindo (medium, $14.99), and enjoyed the balance of silver tequila with tart tamarind puree and agave nectar. I can’t resist a michelada ($9.99) — beer mixed with tomato juice, hot sauce, Maggi sauce, lime and Tajin seasoning — and the one at Las Carretas knocked my calcetines straight off.
With the festive interior decorated with sugar skulls and ofrendas among the vintage Mexican travel posters and colorful papel picado flag garlands, starting with the ceviche vuelve la vida ($12.99), which translates to “raise the dead,” seemed appropriate. The appetizer combines shrimp, octopus and fish with diced tomatoes, cucumber and red onion served with saltine crackers, sliced avocado, mango and jicama sprinkled with Tajin seasoning. I dined with my Peruvian husband, a verifiable ceviche expert, and we both remarked at the masterful balance of flavors in the dish — the seafood shined, accented (not overpowered) by the lime juice. Because they’re so work-intensive, tamales ($8.99) aren’t often a menu staple. At Las Carretas, not only are they on the menu permanently, the dish comes with three different tamales — cheese, pork and chicken — served side-by-side with their accompanying sauces, all of which are spellbindingly good. The cheese tamale is topped with ultra-creamy white queso and the pork tamale sports tart salsa verde, foiling the unctuous braised pork shoulder. But it’s the chicken tamale, or more specifically, the mole it’s covered in, that steals the show. It’s chocolatey and complex, just as a mole should be. Las Carretas offers a dozen different Mexican street-style tacos, served with fluffy rice tinted by tomato sauce and some of the best charro beans I’ve tried — creamy and comforting. You won’t just find chicken or beef, either. The first time I tried tacos de lengua,
BY HOLLY V. KAPHERR
made from cow’s tongue, was at a taco stand in Ciudad Chihuahua in northern Mexico. Seeing them alongside other fillings like tripe, beef cheek and borrego (braised lamb), brought me right back there. We sampled the tacos de cabeza ($11.99) full of braised beef cheek, perfectly fatty and flavorful, and topped with cilantro and diced onion. I loved how the warm, fresh corn tortilla filled my olfactory nerves with the earthy, pleasant aroma of maize even before the taco touched my lips. Heaven. Under the Favoritos menu section, the torta Toluqueña ($14.99) caught my eye with its kitchen-sink description. The sandwich is filled with: a breaded, fried chicken cutlet; salchicha (Mexican-style hot dogs, lighter on the smoke than the American version); plus ham, stringy Oaxaca cheese, pineapple, pickled peppers, mayo, ketchup, tomato and avocado. How could I resist? The giant sandwich came wrapped in aluminum foil and, upon unwrapping, does not look as delicious as it is. The salchichas stick out from the sides like pudgy fingers, but a quick nudge back into the puffy bread fixes that. The bread has a crispy crust but pillowy interior — a remnant of the brief French occupation of Mexico in the 1860s — and pineapple elevates the whole combination, cutting through the richer components and surprising the palate with sweetness. We took our server at his word that the tres leches cake and the chocoflan (both $5.99) are patrons’ favorite desserts. They’re both well worth the calories. Instead of sitting in a pool of cream, the tres leches was soaked, but not soggy, the center lined with thinly sliced strawberries to provide a bit of freshness. Chocoflan is one of my all-time favorite desserts anywhere — the flan custard is carefully poured on top of chocolate cake batter and sinks as the cake cooks, so the flan ends up on the bottom and the cake on top, switching places and giving the dessert its colloquial name, “pastel imposible,” or impossible cake. Las Carretas’ version is excellent, with the dark caramel topping cooked almost to bitterness, adding complexity to the treat. Las Carretas’ menu features more than 100 items we didn’t get to try, not including the lunch specials (all $9.99), kids menu and all the a la carte sides and add-ons. If you suffer from decision paralysis, preparation is key. Fortunately, the food and experience at Las Carretas is so good, I’ll be returning repeatedly, aiming to try everything on the menu by 2085.

Season Three of Narcos: Mexicos debuts Friday on Netflix
ON (small) SCREENS IN ORLANDO
PHOTO COURTESY OF NETFLIX
Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss by Steve Schneider PREMIERES THURSDAY: Aida Rodriguez: Fighting Words — The Puerto Rican/Cuban/Dominican comic explores her roots in a special that’s part stand-up performance and part travelogue. Personally, I’m not agreeing to watch until Dave Chappelle reassures me she’s funny. (HBO Max) Dead & Beautiful — Before they can reach their 30s, five upper-class Asians discover they’ve been turned into vampires. Kinda makes everything Constance Wu was worried about literally pale in comparison, huh? (Shudder) Frayed — As Season 2 begins, Sammy and her family are returning to England from Australia to escape the consequences of last season’s deadly shooting. And thus do they become the first people ever to leave Australia for breaking the law. (HBO Max) Gen:Lock — The futuristic cartoon returns for a second season of pitched battles against the forces of autocracy and totalitarianism. You know it’s science fiction because they’re using drones and tanks instead of taking a dump on Nancy Pelosi’s desk. (HBO Max) Head of the Class — Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Scrubs) executive-produces a reboot of the ’80s sitcom about honor students and their committed teacher. What’s changed? Well, for one thing, the lead character has become a woman. (No, not in the way that would upset Dave Chappelle.) (HBO Max) Rap Battlefield — Buenos Aires is the setting for a musical drama about a young guy and girl who try to become big-time freestylers
while navigating the teen landscape of love and social media. Can they learn to spit the sickest rhymes, or will Instagram make them feel too fat? (HBO Max) The Siwa Dance Pop Revolution — This reality series about the formation of the next chart-topping outfit is being described as JoJo Siwa’s version of Making the Band. Given what that show did for Lou Pearlman, expect Season 2 to show Siwa dying in prison.

As her own contribution, Lakshmi offers up a fruitcake made from Salman Rushdie’s head. (Hulu)

When they wanted to talk to the CIA, they had to call Directory Assistance.

And now, the best joke you will hear all week: LEZ GO, BRANDON!

His novel alibi: busy cooking for the Muppets. (Netflix)

Animaniacs — Season 2 includes spoofs of Thundercats and Gladiator, as well as introducing some characters that were left on the cutting-room floor last time. Will we finally get to meet Yakko and Wakko’s emphysemic brother, Big Tobakko? (Hulu)
Father Christmas Is Back — John Cleese plays Santa in a comedy about four sisters who are reunited with their estranged father (Kelsey Grammer). Hey, if I’m going to ask Santa Cleese for anything, it isn’t going to be a renewal of my relationship with Kelsey Grammer. What was next on their list, a sitdown meth dinner with Roseanne? (Netflix)
The Electrical Life of Louis Wain — Benedict Cumberbatch plays the real-life English artist whose drawings helped goose the popularity of cats. Which is probably better than helping cat the popularity of geese, but you’d have to ask Lewis Carroll about that kind of stuff. (Amazon Prime) Love Hard — This romcom about an L.A. lady who thinks she’s met Mr. Swipe Right could be classified as a funnier version of Catfish. Listen, if you thought the original wasn’t funny enough, somebody needs to teach you about schadenfreude. (Netflix)
PREMIERES MONDAY: Your Life Is a Joke — Maybe I spoke too soon about schadenfreude, because we’re ending our week by going to its very source: An honest-to-goodness German (comedian Oliver Polak) gets to know a bunch of celebrities just so he can ridicule them for their pathetic existence.

LOCAL RELEASES Though maybe well-intentioned, the truth is most of us are just armchair soldiers slap-fighting on social media in the war for social justice. Orlando political punks Debt Neglector, however, have been in the IRL trenches with their action and their money. At the zenith of the historic 2020 election season, the band made some news — and as it turns out, a difference — when they funneled all sales from their last release (the Bad Faith EP) directly to Fair Fight Action. That Stacey Abramsfounded voter enfranchisement group wound up being instrumental in flipping Georgia — and with it, the U.S. Senate — to blue. That’s why I named Debt Neglector “Best punk-rock PAC” in last year’s Undie Awards. That ethos continues in Debt Neglector’s next record, Dirty Water, a new 14-song album out Friday on powerhouse Orlando punk label Smartpunk Records. For this release, 10 percent of sales will be split between two groups supporting the lead-affected youth of Flint, Michigan: Flint Kids Fund and Sylvester Broome Empowerment Village. The album actually addresses that very issue right out the gate with opening track and lead single “Dirty Water.” The rest of the new LP lets the fire burn by tackling issues and examining the personal tolls of living in the current climate. As missiles of message, Debt Neglector’s classic punk rock turns fierce disaffection into anthems of action and catharsis. Dirty Water is the sound and fury of some of Orlando’s most righteous musical activists. It streams everywhere Nov. 5 and will be available on colored vinyl through Smartpunk and Bandcamp.
A Tribute to Gram Parsons: On the day after what would’ve been Parsons’ 75th birthday, an impressive Central Florida congregation will gather on stage to honor one of Florida’s most illustrious musical sons. Loaded with some leading lights in the area’s Americana scene, the five-act roster will include Amy Robbins, Prison Wine, Jackson & Forest Rodgers, Wes Morrison & the Stray Hares and Anthony Leon.

“FEMALE TROUBLE” I want to correct you on something you’ve said repeatedly: A man can “hide” his bisexual orientation. I disagree. I felt my boyfriend was gay or bi immediately, but he flatly denied it. But it was so obvious! He sucked at sex, he never initiated and he was clueless about female anatomy! I was forced to hunt for proof, which I discovered after nine months. Then I mercilessly outed him to friends, humiliated him to his face, and finally confronted him with the proof of his profile on a gay hookup app. I enjoyed every wicked minute exposing his lies and telling everyone the truth because he used and exploited me in a fake relationship. I was wrong about a couple of things. First, I thought if I asked him if he was gay, he would confess and come clean with me. Wrong, he never did. Second, if he was gay, he wouldn’t hide that fact because gays won the LGBT rights fight. Wrong. I am a fag hag but only because I like feeling superior and enjoy what I get out of my friendships with gay men. But I’m not interested in fruit juice. Furious And Vengeful Ex You are a terrible person, I don’t want you reading my column, and I hope your gay friends come to see you for the toxic person you are and cut you out of their lives — unless they’re just as awful as you are, in which case they deserve you. To be clear, FAVE, what your ex did was wrong. I have always taken a dim view of closeted gay men who date straight women to throw people off the scent of cock on their lips (assuming your ex was gay and not bi). But if this dude sucked at sex (when he had it with you), never initiated sex (at least not with you) and couldn’t find your clit if you gave him a flashlight (and probably not even then), why waste nine months on him? You could’ve and should’ve dumped him the first time the sex was awful, FAVE, or when you first suspected it wasn’t you (or your kind) that he wanted to have sex with. And the record, FAVE, anyone can hide their sexual orientation, not just bi men. But many bisexuals don’t come out because they fear being mercilessly outed by angry, bitter, vindictive partners. Again, I don’t have much sympathy for closeted gay men who lie to and mislead women. But if your ex-boyfriend was bi, not gay, and you two hadn’t made a monogamous commitment to each other, he had every right to fuck other people — including other people with penises. I have a question for you about pubic hair. I’m a straight female in my 40s and began dating someone new recently. We’ve only been dating for about a month and this person keeps making requests that I shave or trim my pubic hair. I haven’t known this person long enough to feel comfortable making changes to my body on their account. Am I unusual in this area? Is it standard practice now to get rid of pubic hair? I honestly couldn’t care less about my partners’ hair, so long as they’re hygienic. This email may be boring, but I was curious about your thoughts on this topic. Lover Interrogates My Pubes Some people get rid of their pubic hair to please themselves, LIMP, and some people get rid of their pubic hair to please their partners. You’re not obligated to shave just because the man you’re dating asked you to, LIMP, but unless he’s pressuring you or pouting about it, I don’t

think he’s being an asshole. If he asked nicely and you said no and he dropped it, LIMP, that means your new boyfriend can take “no” for an answer and isn’t that a nice thing to know about him? That said, I don’t think trimming your pubic hair to please even a new partner amounts to “changing your body.” It’s not like getting a tattoo or removing a limb — if you don’t like how a trim looks or feels, LIMP, you can stop trimming and, in a few weeks, your natural habitat will be fully restored. I’m a woman in a committed relationship with a man and we’ve just started exploring ABDL. I’m the sub, he’s the Dom. I was wondering if it would be OK for me to change his diapers. I want to show him I’m willing to clean him and take care of him too, but I feel like subs aren’t really supposed to take on those roles. And to be a good sub, I really want to know my place. I trust your opinion on these things. Pensively Approaching Diapered Dom It’s fine with me if you change your boyfriend’s diapers, PADD, but you’re going to have to check with him. Not all “Adult Baby/Diaper Lover” play involves power exchange, but when people combine ABDL with D/s, it’s typically the sub who wears the diapers (and has them changed) and the Dom who does the diapering and changing. But if your Dom is into wearing diapers, PADD, he’s already blurring those boundaries — so, I don’t see why you can’t at least offer to change his. If having his diapers changed by his sub would make him feel less dominant, he can continue to change his own damn diapers. I’m a single cis woman in my mid-40s. I’ve never wanted kids, but I did think at some point, I’d get married or have a long-term partnership. That hasn’t happened. Which is fine. I’m content with my life, I make good money, I own my own home, and I love and appreciate all of the great things
that come with being single. (Doing whatever I want, whenever I want, and — let’s be honest — farting at home whenever I gosh darn need to.) I have a lot of dear friends who are married, and they are family. I accept that I may be single (but not alone!) for the rest of my life, and that’s fine too. But it comes down to this: I need physical intimacy. I’m OK with my life, but I’m not OK with never having a sexual partner again. I really, really, really like sex. I want to be with a person I know well enough to get comfortable. But I live in a place where online meetups are either fleeting or scary. And I’m overweight and lack confidence and don’t exactly have all the boys coming to my yard. Give me some guidance, Dan. She Isn’t Necessarily Getting Laid, Eh? Online meetups feel fleeting because most online meetups, like most offline meetups, are fleeting. They’re chance encounters, like striking up a conversation with a stranger in a bar, and like most chance encounters, they typically go nowhere. Occasionally an online meet-up is scary in the dude-gives-off-serial-killer-vibe sense, but most are scary in the making-yourself-vulnerable-and-risking-rejection sense — and there’s no avoiding that kind of scary, SINGLE, only building up your tolerance for it. And finally, SINGLE, and somewhat controversially … if you’re content with your life as it is, and if you value being able to fart whenever you need to, there are married men out there who aren’t getting any at home, SINGLE, and not all of them are assholes. Some are loving, decent guys in loving, low-conflict marriages who’ve decided to stay married for loving, decent reasons. An ongoing connection with a loving, decent woman who doesn’t want more than they can give could obviously make one of these guys very happy, SINGLE, and it might make you a little happier too.

ORLANDO WEEKLY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you still hoping to heal from psychological wounds that you rarely speak about? May I suggest that you consider speaking about them in the coming weeks? Not to just anyone and everyone, of course, but rather to allies who might be able to help you generate at least a partial remedy. The moment is ripe, in my opinion. Now is a favorable time for you to become actively involved in seeking cures, fixes and solace. Life will be more responsive than usual to such efforts.
accumulated in the meantime. Over time, an event we recall from when we were 9 years old has gone through a great deal of shape-shifting in our memory so much so that it may have little resemblance to the first time we remembered it. Is this a thing to be mourned or celebrated? Maybe some of both. Right now, though, it’s to be celebrated. You have extra power to declare your independence from any memories that don’t make you feel good. Why hold onto them if you can’t even be sure they’re accurate?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The delights of self-discovery are always available,” writes author Gail Sheehy. I will add that those delights will be extra accessible for you in the coming weeks. In my view, you’re in a phase of super-learning about yourself. You will attract help and support if you passionately explore mysteries and riddles that have eluded your understanding. Have fun surprising and entertaining yourself, Taurus. Make it your goal to catch a new glimpse of your hidden depths every day.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth in a spacecraft. His flight marked the first time that NASA, the agency in charge of spaceflight, had ever used electronic computers. Glenn, who was also an engineer, wanted the very best person to verify the calculations, and that was Virgo mathematician Katherine Johnson. In fact, Glenn said he wouldn’t fly without her involvement. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I believe the coming months will be a favorable time for you to garner the kind of respect and recognition that Katherine Johnson got from John Glenn. Make sure everyone who needs to know does indeed know about your aptitudes and skills.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini novelist and philosopher Muriel Barbery says, “I find this a fascinating phenomenon: the ability we have to manipulate ourselves so that the foundation of our beliefs is never shaken.” In the coming weeks, I hope you will overcome any tendency you might have to manipulate yourself in such a way. In my view, it’s crucial for your mental and spiritual health that you at least question your belief system‚ and perhaps even risk shaking its foundation. Don’t worry: Even if doing so ushers in a period of uncertainty, you’ll be much stronger for it in the long run. More robust and complete beliefs will be available for you to embrace. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In her book Mathilda, novelist Mary Shelley has the main character ask, “What had I to love?” And the answer? “Oh, many things: there was the moonshine, and the bright stars; the breezes and the refreshing rains; there was the whole earth and the sky that covers it.” I bring this to your attention in the hope of inspiring you to make your own tally of all the wonders you love. I trust your inventory will be at least 10 times as long as Mathilda’s. Now is a favorable time for you to gather all the healing that can come from feeling waves of gratitude, even adoration, for the people, animals, experiences, situations and places that rouse your interest and affection and devotion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Our memories are always changing. Whenever we call up a specific remembrance, it’s different from the last time we visited that same remembrance‚ colored by all the new memories we have 38
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to an Apache proverb, “It is better to have less thunder in the mouth and more lightning in the hand.” If you act on that counsel in the coming weeks, you will succeed in doing what needs to be done. There is only one potential downfall you could be susceptible to, in my view, and that is talking and thinking too much about the matter you want to accomplish before you actually take action to accomplish it. All the power you need will arise as you resolutely wield the lightning in your hands. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): To encourage young people to come to its shows, the English National Opera has offered a lot of cheap tickets. Here’s another incentive: Actors sing in English, not ItalianFrench or German. Maybe most enticing for audiences is that they are encouraged to boo the villains. The intention is to make attendees feel relaxed and free to express themselves. I’m pleased to give you Scorpios permission to boo the bad guys in your life during the coming weeks. In fact, I will love it if you are extra eloquent and energetic about articulating all your true feelings. In my view, now is prime time for you to show the world exactly who you are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If we’re not careful, we are apt to grant ultimate value to something we’ve
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● NOV. 3-9, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com
just made up in our heads,” said Zen priest Kosho Uchiyama. In my view, that’s a problem all of us should always be alert for. As I survey my own past, I’m embarrassed and amused as I remember the countless times I committed this faux pas. For instance, during one eight-month period, I inexplicably devoted myself to courting a woman who had zero interest in a romantic relationship with me. I bring this to your attention, Sagittarius, because I’m concerned that right now, you’re more susceptible than usual to making this mistake. But since I’ve warned you, maybe you’ll avoid it. I hope so! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author Asha Sanaker writes, “There is a running joke about us Capricorns that we age backwards. Having been born as burdened, cranky old people, we become lighter and more joyful as we age because we have gained so much practice in wielding responsibility. And in this way we learn, over time, about what are our proper burdens to carry and what are not. We develop clear boundaries around how to hold our obligations with grace.” Sanaker’s thoughts will serve as an excellent meditation for you in the coming weeks. You’re in a phase when you can make dramatic progress in embodying the skills she articulates. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As author Denise Linn reminded us, “The way you treat yourself sends a very clear message to others about how they should treat you.” With that advice as your inspiration, I will ask you to deepen your devotion to self-care in the coming weeks. I will encourage you to shower yourself with more tenderness and generosity than you have ever done in your life. I will also urge you to make sure these efforts are apparent to everyone in your life. I am hoping for you to accomplish a permanent upgrade in your love for yourself, which should lead to a similar upgrade in the kindness you receive from others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have at your disposal a prodigiously potent creative tool: your imagination. If there’s a specific experience or object you want to bring into your world, the first thing you do is visualize it. The practical actions you take to live the life you want to live always refer back to the scenes in your mind’s eye.
