¶ Baby don’t Gogh: Attendees grumble about ‘Immersive Van Gogh’ experience From the beginning, there’s been a whiff of the scammy about the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit Orlando that promised to come to Orlando for months. From the hardto-parse differences between competing exhibits with similar names to the lack of an announced venue (just vague promises of a special historic building in downtown) to the unceremonious rescheduling of the opening after weeks’ worth of tickets had already been sold, something seemed off about Van Gogh’s visit to the City Beautiful. Now, guests who are finally seeing the attraction (at its not-so-historic, not-at-alldowntown location inside the convention center) are fuming about the lackluster experience. One Reddit user called the rather expensive lightshow “the biggest scam … I’ve ever attended,” saying the event amounted to standing in one room watching videos before being shepherded into a large gift shop with poorly made reproductions of art on various items. Another poster said that anyone who enjoyed the exhibit was likely on drugs to — which led yet another commenter to share that drugs didn’t help. “No worries there, I was blasted out of my mind and it still sucked,” they wrote. Another person said they felt like they paid $100 bucks to stand in a dead mall. “Went this past Sunday and got bored immediately after getting there. No excitement around the event at all. Looked more like walking into the dead Artegon mall,” they shared. “The highlight of my night was getting a Big Mac meal after we left.” Over on the event’s Facebook page, several commenters left less-than-stellar reviews. “I paid $300 to sit on a 1/2-inchthick cushion on a marble floor and watch a 30-minute movie. I can’t comprehend how anyone would appreciate this, unless it was free,” said one Facebook commenter. “Walking from the parking lot to the event space took more time than the entire experience,” noted another. Many of our readers shared similar views — but not all!

@Nicholas Calvelli Definitely expected multi rooms. It was still pretty cool to see but even the music and presentations were not really contextual. It was all kind of random. Also I was really disappointed with the venue. @Katherine Hoffman It was such a letdown and felt like a money grab. I wish they would have included more rooms with installation pieces. Also having to pay for additional parking even with VIP tickets and then a mile walk through the empty convention center was not a fun start. @Cecilia Harbach As someone who may or may not have done drugs while being in this “immersive” experience I will say it’s still subpar, with not having projections on the ceiling and having way too many people walking around and flashing their cameras. @Frankie Messina Sorry so many had a bad experience. I asked for my money back the moment I saw the location was at the OCCC, just knew the mystery and uniqueness would be lost in such a generic large space, and I-Drive surroundings. These national touring art expressions come through every now and then like snake oil hawkers. … Sorry many of my friends had a bad art experience. Was some great marketing on their part … got to give ’em that. Wow. @Hillary Lawlor It looks so cool in Emily in Paris! @Tracy Myz Gonzalez I loved it. I went to the one here in Orlando. It was beautiful and even peaceful to watch with the music playing along with it. I appreciate the artist that brought all these paintings to life. @Barbara Emrys The whole point of Van Gogh’s art is its dense color and intense feeling. Both are lost in blowups. @Lili Gilbert Ughhhhhhh. I have three tickets totaling $150 for next Friday. Send your bouquets and brickbats to feedback@orlandoweekly.com.

Nikki Fried breaks with the Biden admin, boa constrictor found in Florida Man’s couch … and other news you may have missed last week. »

Brian Laundrie’s parents appear to be selling their Florida home According to a report from the New York Post, the family have put up a “For Sale” sign in front of the home that became the center of a media circus. Their son Brian was widely believed to be responsible for the death of his fiancée, Gabby Petito. Petito disappeared while on a van trip with Laundrie and was found dead in Wyoming’s Bridger–Teton National Forest. Laundrie returned from the trip without her. An autopsy ruled Petito’s death to be a homicide. Laundrie went missing and was later found to have killed himself with a gun that was missing from the Laundrie home. The search and the interest it generated turned the Laundrie home in North Port into a tourist attraction.

‘Drag & Drive’ is a holiday food drive with a glamorous twist Orlando’s LGBT Center and Come Out With Pride are pairing up for a unique take on a holiday food drive on Saturday, Dec. 18. The organizations are looking to stock up the Center’s Pride Pantry with donations of nonperishable food items and hygiene products for those in need during the holidays. So on that Saturday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., if you pilot a carload of donations to the Center’s Mills Avenue location, your car will be unpacked by area drag performers aided and abetted by Center and COWP staff. You get to help out the community and perhaps even take some sassy banter home, for free!

Florida man finds five-foot boa constrictor inside new couch Florida is stranger than fiction once again: A Clearwater man found, inside his new couch, a 5-foot-long boa constrictor. Clearwater Police shared that they were called to a condo to remove a red tail boa from a recently purchased couch. CPD wrote on Facebook that they “extracted it from its hiding place” and took it to a local pet store. “The man just got the couch the other day and he thinks the snake was hiding in the couch when it came to his house,” the cops wrote. “It’s a jungle out there sometimes.”

Florida Ag Commissioner Nikki Fried breaks from Biden administration on Omicron, kind of The state’s most prominent Democrat says she’s not waiting on the Biden administration when it comes to Florida’s response to the Omicron variant of COVID-19. “If we start seeing increasing numbers, it’s our job to be honest with the people of our state about what’s happening and how to make sure that they’re protecting themselves,” Fried said in an interview with Florida Politics last week. Fried’s statement came after Biden recently said that lockdowns are not necessary to combat the Omicron variant. Fried has been a stern critic of DeSantis’ coronavirus response and accused the governor of lying about COVID-19 numbers to further his anti-mandate agenda. A Fried spokesperson later wrote to Orlando Weekly that Fried does not support “shutting back down.” So, never mind. Maybe.

Appeals court denies Florida injunction against healthcare worker vaccine mandate A divided federal appeals court Sunday rejected Florida’s request to block a Biden administration rule that would require healthcare workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19. A panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, turned down a motion by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody for an injunction against the rule while the Atlanta-based court considers the vaccination requirement. The decision said the state “failed to make the requisite showing for an injunction pending appeal.” Sunday’s decision, however, did not mean the Biden administration can move forward with the health-care worker vaccination requirement Monday, as originally planned. That is because a Louisiana federal judge last week issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against the federal rule.

Murder of Orlando student Miya Marcano leads to legislative push for stricter background checks for apartment complex employees Calling the measure “Miya’s Law,” state legislators are seeking to require apartment landlords to conduct background checks on employees. Bills filed in the House and Senate (HB 577 and SB 898) come after the death of 19-year-old Miya Marcano, a Valencia College student who went missing from her Orlando apartment in late September and was found dead a week later. Her suspected killer, who later committed suicide, worked as a maintenance worker at Marcano’s apartment complex. According to investigators, he used a master key fob to enter Marcano’s apartment the day she went missing. Under the identical bills, criminal and sexual-offender background checks would be required for apartment complex employees. Additionally, tenants would have to be given 24 hours’ notice before workers could enter apartments, up from the current 12-hour threshold. “Millions of apartment residents in Florida trust that they will be safe when they sign a lease,” Senate sponsor Linda Stewart, D-Orlando, said Wednesday. “Unfortunately, there is no requirement for apartments to run background checks before hiring an employee who will have access to someone’s home.” Yma Scarbriel, mother of Miya Marcano, said her daughter’s death was preventable. “Miya’s Law will prevent future incidents like this from ever happening again,” she said. “Apartment complexes must be more diligent in implementing and enforcing policies and procedures that will ensure tenants are safe.” The bills are filed for the 2022 legislative session, which will start Jan. 11. — News Service of Florida

BOOSTING MORALE How to decide whether to get a booster dose — and which one, if you do BY TINA HESMAN SAEY, SCIENCE NEWS

t’s been a little over six months since I got my second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech, and a phone call from my state health department over the weekend reminded me that I am eligible for a booster. But do I really need to get a third COVID-19 shot? If so, which of the three authorized or approved vaccines available in the United States should I get? To make my decision, I looked at the evidence and talked to some experts. What I found out could be useful to anyone deciding on a booster. Let’s start with Johnson & Johnson. Everyone who got that shot as their initial vaccine is recommended to get a booster two months after the first jab, U.S. health officials and experts say. That’s because the antibody response from that one-dose vaccine isn’t as high as for the two-dose mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, and it is waning. “It doesn’t go away entirely,” says Sachin Nagrani, medical director of Heal, a company that provides primary health care in people’s homes via telehealth visits and house calls. But a few months after the J&J shot, “it seems like your immune response is less protective.” There are few studies on J&J boosters, but the

AstraZeneca vaccine, which is built on similar technology but not available in the United States, could provide some clues. Both vaccines use adenoviruses to deliver DNA instructions for building the coronavirus’ spike protein to cells. Studies show combining AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine with a boost from the Pfizer shot (or sometimes Moderna) was more effective than getting another dose of AstraZeneca. For instance, in Sweden, a double dose of AstraZeneca was about 50 percent effective at preventing symptomatic illness. But AstraZeneca followed by Pfizer was 67 percent effective and AstraZeneca boosted with Moderna was 79 effective, researchers reported Oct. 18 in the Lancet Regional Health — Europe. A preliminary study that mixed and matched vaccines in the United States found that people who got J&J as their first dose developed much higher levels of antibodies if their second dose was an mRNA vaccine than if it was another jab of J&J. Those data suggest that people who got vaxxed with J&J should consider getting an mRNA booster. On Nov. 19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

authorized mRNA boosters for everyone 18 and older. Some states were already allowing all adults to get boosted prior to the FDA decision. An advisory committee for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave its unanimous blessing and CDC director Rochelle Walensky signed off on the expanded recommendations later that day. But some experts question whether the additional doses are really necessary for most people. I considered risk factors before deciding whether I needed the shot. When I was contemplating my choice, boosters were recommended for people 65 and older, who are at risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19. I’m younger than that and fall into the CDC panel’s recommendation that people 50 and older should get a booster. Those in the 18- to 49-year-old age group may get a third dose but don’t necessarily need an additional shot the way I and other middle-aged and older people do. People who have a high chance of getting exposed to COVID-19 through their jobs or living situations have also been advised to get a booster. But right now I work from home, where just my husband and I live. People with certain underlying health conditions are at greater risk of severe disease. I do have a couple of health conditions that make me more vulnerable. But how much more benefit would I get from a booster shot than from the two doses I already received? Much of what we know about mRNA booster shots comes from data collected in Israel, where everyone 12 and older has been eligible for a third dose of the Pfizer vaccine since the end of August. People who were fully vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine and had no underlying health

NEW NE WS risks, had a very low chance of developing severe COVID-19 or needing to be admitted to a hospital: Just 3.1 of every 100,000 healthy people who had gotten two doses of vaccine got severe disease, researchers reported Oct. 29 in the Lancet. But with underlying health risks, that number started to climb. Of every 100,000 fully vaccinated people with one or two health risks, 82 developed severe disease. And with three or more health risks, the rate was 503.5 of every 100,000 people. Getting a booster dropped the severe disease rate for those with one or two health conditions to 3.2 per 100,000 and cut the rate by about 90 percent — to 51.6 per 100,000 — for those with three or more health conditions. That evidence leads me to think a booster is in order for me. For young, healthy people the risk equation may be different. Nagrani says it’s OK for people in that situation to wait a while for more data on the vaccine’s longevity before getting a booster. But people 65 and older and those with health conditions or who live in assisted-living facilities should probably get a booster now. The next question is which shot should I get? It’s now fine to mix and match vaccine doses for booster shots. I could stick with Pfizer, or switch to Moderna or J&J. The first thing I’m considering is: What’s my goal? While I would like to not get infected with COVID-19 at all, that’s maybe not so realistic. None of the COVID-19 vaccines produce “sterilizing immunity,” which protects you from getting infected. But they all provide protection against illness. At first glance, it looks as if the mRNA vaccines are the way to go, but I’ve been intrigued by discussions in the recent FDA and CDC advisory board meetings about different types of immunity produced by the vaccines. The mRNA vaccines give gangbuster levels of neutralizing antibodies, which help keep the coronavirus from infecting cells. But adenovirus-based vaccines like J&J’s and AstraZeneca’s seem to be better at revving up long-lasting protection from immune cells called T cells. And some evidence suggests that a combo of an mRNA vaccine with an adenovirus-based vaccine like J&J’s could have some advantages. In a study in France, participants got either two doses of the Pfizer vaccine or a dose of AstraZeneca with a Pfizer chaser. People who got Pfizer for both doses were twice as likely to get infected with the coronavirus as those who got the mixed doses, researchers reported Oct. 21 in Nature. That was 10 infections among the 2,512 (0.39 per-

cent) who got the mixed doses, compared with 81 infections among the 10,609 people (0.76 percent) who got Pfizer alone. I asked one of that study’s coauthors, Jacqueline Marvel, an immunologist at the International Center for Infectious Disease Research in Lyon, France, about whether I should switch to J&J for my booster shot to give my T cells a lift or stick with an mRNA vaccine. “I’m not sure you want to change the vaccine just for increasing the T cell response,” she said. That answer surprised me a little because Marvel studies T cells for a living. “I’m pro T cell,” she said. But “neutralizing antibodies are what you want to have first. The antibodies stop the virus from getting into the cells and protect you much earlier than the T cells would,” Marvel explained. “If people don’t want to be ill and have symptoms, you want the antibodies.” And to maximize antibodies, the mRNA vaccines are the way to go. Side effects from the booster doses are similar to those experienced from earlier doses, though some data suggest the effects after a booster may be milder than after the second dose. Some people are worried about rare side effects such as myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, that has sometimes happened after an mRNA dose, particularly for young males after the second dose. But that side effect is uncommon: Just 17 out of 2.5 million people who got a Pfizer booster shot in Israel developed myocarditis or pericarditis, Israeli health officials reported. I’m not a young man and my first two doses produced only a sore arm, so side effects aren’t a big concern for me. All of this convinced me to get an mRNA shot. But which one? That decision came down to convenience. I got online and searched for places where I could get my booster. It turns out that few of the grocery stores, pharmacies or other vaccine providers in my area offer the Moderna vaccine (even fewer have the J&J shot), but Pfizer doses are plentiful. So I got a Pfizer booster in my right arm and a flu vaccine in the left. (It’s safe to take both at the same time.) According to the CDC, I’m not alone. Almost 99 percent of people fully vaccinated with Pfizer also chose Pfizer for their booster. My arms might ache for a little while, but that’s a price I’m more than willing to pay to avoid severe illness for myself and to help protect those around me from getting infected.

Faculty accuse UCF administrators of hoarding millions of dollars in pandemic relief funds BY RYA N DAILEY, N SF

he University of Central Florida’s faculty union is asking administrators for answers on how UCF plans to spend $112 million in federal pandemic relief money that the union says the school is “sitting on” while the turnover rate of faculty members climbs. The university’s chapter of the United Faculty of Florida last week held a news conference aimed at ratcheting up pressure on administrators to spend unused money. UCF’s share of the federal pandemic aid awarded through Sept. 30 included $164.8 million in what’s designated as “institutional” funding, according to the U.S. Department of Education. That money can be spent in many ways, including on payroll. Of the $164.8 million, the university had spent just shy of $53 million, or roughly 32 percent, by the end of September. The union relied on the federal education department’s data in calling on the university to spend more of the money. “They are sitting on over $112 million in unspent dollars. Some of that funding is set aside to provide relief for employees during the

pandemic,” said Robert Cassanello, president of the UCF faculty union and an associate professor of history. The university has received about $314.4 million in overall funding from the federal Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund, or HEERF, and has spent 50.1 percent of it, according to the federal education department. Chad Binette, UCF’s assistant vice president of communications, refuted the union’s claims, saying the university has “allocated” $119.1 million of the institutional portion of the federal funds and plans to spend an additional $25 million including on expenses related to informational-technology systems and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. “The institutional share of HEERF dollars has supported expenses such as additional financial assistance to students, support for remote instruction and course delivery during the pandemic, and COVID-19 responses and preparedness,” Binette said in an email to the News Service of Florida. “They also have reimbursed revenues the university lost during the pandemic. All of the expenses must be related to the COVID-19 pan-

demic and must follow the guidelines set by the federal government.” Binette also said the university has not hit a deadline for spending the federal money. “The federal deadline for spending dollars awarded in the latest HEERF round is next year. We continue to utilize those dollars in line with both the purpose and requirements set by the federal government,” Binette said. Faculty members who spoke during last Thursday’s news conference said the school’s administration has praised UCF faculty but is not backing up that approval with increased compensation. Matthew Mosher, an associate professor in UCF’s Nicholson School of Communication and Media, said faculty pay has been stagnant in recent years. “UCF faculty, however, have not seen a raise since 2019,” Mosher said, also citing a pricey Orlando housing market. “By not increasing its employees’ salaries to match the rate of inflation, UCF is effectively cutting our pay every year.” With the union in the process of working out a collective bargaining agreement with the university, Mosher said stagnant pay is one of several factors contributing to increased turnover. “Staff and faculty alike are seeking employment elsewhere in places where there are stronger COVID safety measures, more remote work opportunities and better pay. Can you blame them? UCF is doing very little to keep its employees here,” Mosher said. An analysis published by the UCF Board of Trustees’ Budget and Finance Committee on Nov. 16 detailed a growing number of faculty members leaving the school, labeling it the “great resignation.” The document said UCF’s turnover rate reached an all-time high this year. “UCF’s 2021 Year-to-Date turnover rate has grown from 8.24 percent (468 separations) as of August 25th to 10.96 percent (622 separations) as of November 10th,” the analysis said, projecting the rate to reach nearly 12.8 percent by the end of the year. The union said Thursday that UCF has 1,900 open job postings. Andrew Gothard, president of the United Faculty of Florida and a professor of English at Florida Atlantic University, said UCF isn’t the only university that hasn’t spent the bulk of its federal pandemic aid. “After two years of arduous work, they are being told by administrators across Florida, in the same manner as at UCF, that despite millions of dollars in federal funding that came in throughout the pandemic, there isn’t enough money to pay these faculty a fair wage,” Gothard said during the news conference.

“By not increasing employees’ salaries to match the rate of inflation, UCF is effectively cutting our pay every year.” — UCF Prof. Matthew Mosher

WELCOME TO PRO-LIFE AMERICA Enjoy your forced childbirth. Hope you don’t die. BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N

“Abortion carries significant physical

and psychological risks to the maternal patient, and these physical and psychological risks increase with gestational age,” Mississippi lawmakers declared in the Gestational Age Act of 2018, the 15-week abortion ban the Supreme Court’s conservatives will likely use to eviscerate Roe v. Wade. Not that it matters, but none of this is true. According to the American Psychological Association, abortion doesn’t increase a woman’s risk for depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder — although women denied an abortion “are more likely to initially experience higher levels of anxiety, lower life satisfaction, and lower self-esteem.” About those physical risks? Only 2% of abortions have complications, most of which are minor. In the U.S., the abortion mortality rate is 0.6 per 100,000. In Mississippi, giving birth is roughly 60 times more dangerous than having an abortion; the pregnancy-related mortality rate in 2016 was 33.2 per 100,000 live births, about four times the national average. Mississippi didn’t fool District Court Judge Carlton Reeves, who called its “professed care in ‘women’s health’ … pure gaslighting.” In 2018, Reeves struck down the law. “No, legislation like HB 1510 is closer to the old Mississippi — the

Mississippi bent on controlling women and minorities,” Reeves wrote. Technically, Mississippi seems bent on controlling women who are minorities. Black women are more than five times as likely to get an abortion than white women, according to the state’s data. In Mississippi, Black women are also more likely to be affected by geographic, regulatory and financial barriers to obtaining an abortion, face medical complications, or become pregnant as teenagers — all factors that lead to the laterterm abortions the state wants to outlaw out of purported concern for their welfare. Not only is Mississippi the country’s poorest state, but it has the highest poverty rate for working-age women, and Black residents are nearly three times as likely to live in poverty as white ones. Nearly a quarter of its residents lack health insurance. Mississippi has the country’s second-highest teenage birth rate, with Black teenagers about 50% more likely to give birth than their white peers. It also leads in children born to unmarried mothers, preterm births, low birthweight births and infant mortality. This is the vanguard of the “pro-life” movement. I doubt anyone’s naive enough to think Mississippi lawmakers give a wet fart about poor Black women. But that’s irrelevant, as last week’s Supreme Court arguments

made clear. If the Court kills Roe, 21 states’ dormant abortion bans will go into effect. Five more states could ban abortion soon after, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Together, they include the entire Deep South, save for North Carolina and Virginia, and most of the Upper Midwest — including Michigan and Wisconsin, where pre-Roe bans can be enforced. Women with means will travel thousands of miles to obtain abortions. Women without will be compelled to carry their pregnancies to term. Amy Coney Barrett thinks they can simply dump their unwanted babies after giving birth, so problem solved — as if pregnancy and childbirth don’t pose physical risks or have real-life financial consequences. Barrett doesn’t want Americans to see the Court as “a bunch of partisan hacks,” so she needs something to justify undoing a half-century of precedent. The safe haven laws that proliferated over the last two decades are apparently her best option. Of course, 15 years ago, Barrett went on record calling Roe “barbaric.” And when she told the Senate “It’s not possible” to say how she’d rule in an abortion case, she lied. As Paul Waldman pointed out in the Washington Post, the conservative justices all lied during their confirmation hearings. Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch insisted their personal views wouldn’t affect their decisions. Clarence Thomas claimed he hadn’t discussed Roe with anybody, ever. Brett Kavanaugh and John Roberts said Roe was “settled as a precedent,” a position Kavanaugh especially seems to have reconsidered. “The other side would say that the core problem here is that the Court has been forced by the position you’re taking and by the cases to pick sides on the most contentious social debate in American life,” Kavanaugh told Julie Rikelman, attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, “and to do so in a situation where they say that … the Constitution’s neither pro-life nor pro-choice on the question of abortion. And they would say, therefore, it should be left to the people, to the states, or to Congress.” Rights aren’t subject to popular opinion. That’s what makes them rights — in this case, the right to liberty and physical autonomy guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. The Court’s conservatives want to turn that right into a privilege that legislatures can remove; their ruling will amount to a declaration that women can’t be trusted with decisions about their own pregnancies. There will be one upside to the Court reversing Roe, however. We can stop pretending this Court isn’t an activist body whose decisions derive from its members’ partisan inclinations and far-right ideologies. And eventually, that will lead to much-needed, sweeping judicial reforms — including expanding the Court and placing term limits on justices — as well as smaller measures such as establishing a code of ethics. “Will this institution survive the stench that this creates in the public perception that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts?” Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked last week. “I don’t see how it is possible.” It isn’t. And if this is the direction the Court goes, that’s for the best.

RYAN HOLMES SAYS YES: A RAPID-FIRE Q&A OW: Do you have ADHD? RH: Yes. Do you believe in therapy? Yes.

YOU CAN TRUST RYAN HOLMES

PHOTO BY TIERRA BINFORD PHOTOGRAPHY

Yes. Is Gloria Estefan your greatest hero of all time? Yes.

From the FM airwaves to comedy club stages, Ryan Holmes is a busy man

BY SARAH KIN BA R

ake a page from Ryan Holmes’ book: Embrace your flaws. “I had to become OK with my terrible taste in music very early on and accept that I’m not going to like the cool music. I’m going to like the bad music that I like. And you know what? I’m happier for it,” Holmes explains, while indulging in a buffalo chicken wrap with habañero sauce, the second hottest sauce available at Maitland’s Copper Rocket. Holmes is an Orlando-based stand-up comedian who in 2019 landed a regular gig on Real Radio 104.1-FM’s “Monsters in the Morning” radio show, a popular program that has been on the air since the mid-1990s. During a recent episode, he bragged about being a Lit fanboy and snapped to correct a co-host who thought Lit would be playing at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona alongside Metallica and Slipknot. “No, Lit will be at the Leesburg Bikefest,” he quickly corrected. Holmes’ attention to detail is applied across the board. He’s that lifelong learner type who takes every opportunity to absorb information. Yes, he knows what time Lit took the stage in Leesburg last month. He also gets down with quantum physics, because why not? To break down the difference between his experiences doing stand-up and radio, he pointed to electrons: “I feel I’m observed differently if I’m freestyling at the mic and I don’t think anybody’s phone is out compared to if I’m being recorded on the air. Electron particles are either a wave or they’re a point, but it’s all depending on how you measure. Same with these different forms of comedy. I want to be a wave, not a particle, you know what I mean?” We do, and it sounds delightful. With Holmes, the conversation can go in any direction at any given moment: flights of fancy, cynical observations, heartfelt empathy for strangers in the immediate vicinity. At times he pretends to suffer from arrested development — “I’m a 6-foot-4 toddler. And that’s how I roll” — but all signs point to an actualized person.

Do you consider Steve Jobs a fashion icon?

A discussion of the state of comedy is revealing. “There are people who can show up to an open mic every now and then — you’ve got your Preacher Lawsons, your Vince Taylors, your Ken Millers. They are into the craft and understand comedy as an art form. But then there will be a random dude that comes in who doesn’t realize what he’s saying is racist. Or uses the forum as an excuse for being a douchebag,” says Holmes. “Like six or seven years ago, I was dating an actress. She was in this play in Sanford and told me about a guy in the cast who was being really mean and shielding himself by saying he was a stand-up comedian. I had never seen him out at a show or a mic. People like that give comedy a bad reputation.” So Holmes is a standard-bearer in a sense, which plays into his persona on “Monsters in the Morning.” The show as a whole can be pretty testosterone-driven, filled with rambunctious storytelling and bawdy commentary. Holmes brings a certain grace and smarts to the table — particularly in his “King of Denmark” segments — patiently stitching together loose ends to create a sense of wholeness to the runaway dialogue. He does so almost undetected. With Holmes on deck, there’s a reasonable boundary on raucousness. But don’t get the wrong idea: Holmes is mindful, but he is also hilarious and versatile. His recent impromptu set at the Dreams Lounge open mic — where he did a flawless impression of Vince Taylor — was unforgettable. He brings out crowds to Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center for Wednesday night trivia on the front lawn every week. His new podcast with Charlie Bowie and Sean Finnerty, streaming on Facebook (look up “Comedian Ryan Holmes”), is called “Legends of Pregame” and is definitely worth a listen. So what’s next? (If anything else can even fit on that crowded a plate.) Holmes says, “It’s not about money. I would like to have respect in the craft. I’d like to be like Norm MacDonald at his best.”

Why? Her ‘Greatest Hits’ album — hit for hit for hit down the line. I will put that album up against any other albums for real right now. I’m being absolutely 100 percent serious. Do you wear the same favorite jeans until they fall apart? Yes. Why? I just ask myself: What ugly T-shirt and what old pair of jeans am I going to wear? And then I spend way too much time thinking about it. If I could just wear the same thing every day I would, but people get weird about that. Are you a penny-pincher? Yes. Why? Like, when you go from having no money to having money … I do a program called FIRE, which stands for “financial independence retire early.” I don’t buy anything. I’m the most frugal, ridiculous person in the world. Will you let us see the video of your very first comedy set? No. Why? It would be like showing you my fungus toe.

Diorama as pop-up book on life and love within a same-sex family makes up Benjamin D. Rinehart’s Boy & Bubs: Seasons of Change. Feelings of marginalization are expressed through Keiko Ichi’s impressive piece about the Japanese internment camps during World War II. Taken as a whole, Common Ground is a heady mix of sharp aesthetics and sharper activism. Simmons, a faculty member in the Art Department at Rollins, and Dr. Deborah Prosser, Director at Olin Library, have worked together for the last few years to develop a diverse collection of book arts for Rollins and are the curatorial minds behind the selection of work, alongside Rollins Museum of Art Director Ena Heller. When speaking with Simmons and Prosser about Common Ground, we asked what they hoped foremost to accomplish with the show, to which both immediately replied: “To start a conversation.” “We are fortunate at Rollins to have museum and library collections grounded in teaching our students and focused on serving as catalysts for critical conversations in support of our global citizenship mission,” Prosser adds. “Through our collaboration between the museum and library we also are able to bring these artworks to a wider audience.” The works featured in this exhibit are grouped in different sections dedicated to subjects like climate concerns, gender, economics, religion and social justice. And the artists collected in Common Ground are all at different stages of their artistic careers. “The exhibition and collection are primarily professional artists’ books, with a few examples of outstanding student work and one collaboration between visiting artist Ben Blount and Rollins students,” explains Simmons of the roster of artists included in Common Ground. “The collection was started in 2018 as a teaching tool for students at Rollins College.” “We do add student work to the collection and purchase work from students when possible,” adds Prosser. Rollins Museum’s mission as a teaching museum makes this kind of direct involvement from students all the more vital. It localizes and humanizes the bigger issues quite literally on display. Viewing Common Ground can be an intimate experience, like reading a diary or pondering a scrapbook. Scanning the pages gives you a seemingly more personal look into the ideas and belief of the artists while also challenging traditional notions of what goes up on a gallery’s walls. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll inspire you to try your own hand at this democratized medium. “Our ultimate goal with the exhibition is to create an awareness of book arts as a unique genre of fine art, one which crosses disciplinary boundaries and touches on relevant contemporary issues,” Simmons says. Common Ground is a shining example of artists using their medium as a mirror on society to inspire passionate conversation and thoughtful reflection in unexpected ways. Come read all about it.

I likely learned more about astronomy in an hour than I had in the past decade, and Jones’ joy at sharing his fascination with the firmament was infectious. As an added bonus, I had a chance as we exited to bid farewell to the turtles and alligators living in OSC’s Natureworks artificial swamp, an iconic opening day attraction that will soon receive a radical reimagining. (Don’t worry, the current residents will receive new homes.) Private packages don’t include regular admission to Orlando Science Center, so you may want to add on a discounted daytime ticket and arrive early to explore the latest exhibits. Design Zone, which is on display through Jan. 4, lets kids get hands-on with mathematical concepts like variables and ratios while mixing music, designing video games and even building a roller-coaster. The annual return of Dinos in Lights, which illuminates Stan the T. rex and his fossilized companions with a dazzling seasonal display, runs through Jan. 4 as well. On the fourth floor you’ll also find the Poozeum, a collection of coprolites (or fossilized dinosaur feces) that cheekily claims to be “#1 for fossilized #2” by virtue of displaying the Guinness World Record holder for “largest fossilized excrement from a carnivore,” a T. rex turd dubbed “Barnum.” And if all that science-ing leaves you hungry, don’t forget about John Rivers’ 4Roots Café on the ground floor, where you’ll find locally sourced plant-forward lunches, along with a new exhibit on how kids can become “Food Heroes” by composting and encouraging pollinators. OSC’s private observatory and planetarium experiences are offered on Friday and Saturday nights at 8:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. now through spring 2022 (not available on 12/24-25, 12/31, or 1/1). Tours require advance reservations and cost $250 for up to five people; additional guests up to 10 cost $30 each. Visit osc.org/private-experiences for more details or to book your private viewing of the cosmos.

For an exclusive astronomical adventure, Orlando Science Center’s small group observatory tours take VIP stargazing to a whole new level I’m only an arts and culture col-

umnist, but you don’t have to be a Ph.D. to recognize that the past couple of years have been particularly difficult for scientists. Cynical politicians have rallied an already skeptical populace against trusting empirical evidence, just when we most need facts to combat COVID and climate change. So, as the son of a former science professor, I got a special satisfaction last week from visiting the Orlando Science Center’s newly reopened observatory, which had been closed to the public for nearly two years, but is now once again inspiring guests to reach for the stars. In case you weren’t aware, that big silver dome overlooking Loch Haven Park atop Orlando Science Center’s roof isn’t just for show; it’s home to the largest publicly accessible refractor telescope in the state of Florida. I last climbed the spiral staircase up to the observatory a dozen years or so

ago during a Cocktails & Cosmos party, and peering into the enormous telescope was a magical experience despite being the dome being packed with patrons. But this time, OSC invited me to experience one of their new socially distanced small group tours, which takes VIP stargazing to a whole new level. My exclusive astronomical adventure began as my wife and I, along with another couple, were greeting in the Center’s lobby by OSC public programs manager Spencer Jones. A space enthusiast who joined OSC specifically to work with the observatory, Jones led us into the facility’s glass elevator for a Wonka-esque ride seemingly through the ceiling and into the building’s uppermost levels, which are ordinarily off-limits for guests. We stepped out onto OSC’s panoramic balcony (looking down on a fancy wedding reception below), where a $1,000 consumer-grade Meade telescope provided small but impressively sharp looks at Jupiter and all four of its Galilean moons, along with Saturn’s rings, a crescent Venus and some unique views of downtown Orlando. Next, it was time to climb up into the dome, watching from the inside as the structure split open and rotated, revealing the

heavens to its massive 10-inch-diameter Byers telescope. (It turns out that girth is more important than length when observing heavenly bodies.) The larger instrument’s greater magnification revealed subtle stripes of vibrant colors on Jupiter, and even the gap between Saturn’s rings. Best of all, unlike my last expedition to the observatory, I wasn’t elbow-to-elbow with others, but had ample opportunity to let my eyes adjust and focus on the faraway objects. After about a half-hour of stellar sights, our evening concluded with a visit inside OSC’s inflatable planetarium, which looks from the outside like the world’s most boring bounce house. Inside, we squatted on the carpet beneath a half-dome ceiling, which soon sparked to life with a digitally projected starscape. Instead of the usual pre-programmed planetarium show, this interactive system allowed Jones to guide us on a breathtaking hyperspeed journey from the poles of Pluto to the edge of the Milky Way and then back home to Earth. We also enjoyed an informative introduction to the constellations — not only the Greek mythological figures familiar to Westerners, but the more prosaic Chinese star configurations like “neck” and “legs.”

EAT YOUR HEART OUT Heart of Jerusalem Café in Winter Springs has plenty of Middle Eastern soul BY FAIYAZ KARA

iddle Eastern food finally has a pulse in Winter Springs, and it beats between a chiropractor and a liquor store inside a Frankenstein of a strip mall. OK, Willa Springs Village isn’t so monstrous; certainly not as monstrous as the sounds my belly was making walking into Heart of Jerusalem’s humble digs. I was deliriously hungry and running on the fumes of an onion-serrano omelet enjoyed 12 hours earlier. So, after nearly Clouseauchopping the pair of medieval knights standing sentinel at the restaurant’s entryway, I patted a tall camel sculpture on its head and made my way to the counter under the suspicious, sideeyed gaze of a couple who had stopped eating mid-chew. “Manakeesh! Dolmas! Babaganoush! Falafel!” I rattled off the four musketeers of Middle Eastern cuisine to the startled girl behind the counter. These culinary archetypes were going to be devoured in one fell swoop, lest that ol’ bloat hummus, the Cardinal Richelieu of mezze, prematurely swelled my innards. I had heard about the falafel ($6.89) here, supposedly shaped like hearts (awwww!), and I was going to eat them to my heart’s content. Only they weren’t shaped like hearts on my visit; they were shaped like spleens. Or

a couple of smushed kidneys. No matter the form, they tasted proper-good — and they’re included with both babaganoush ($8.89) and hummus ($8.89), so don’t feel compelled to order them separately. Not unless you really love falafel. I do and, honestly, I ate way more than I thought I would. Scooped up all the baba and hummus along the way, too. Re-crisp the falafel in a toaster oven the following day and they revivify just like new (but they still didn’t look like hearts). Dolmas ($6.89), or grape leaves, aren’t made in house. Doesn’t mean they’re bad, they’re just not made and folded by chef-owner Hussein Abukhdeir or his cooks. Manakeesh ($7.89), however, is. The grilled, doughy round with a pretty mess of toppings — feta, diced tomatoes, olives, tzatziki and healthy shaking of za’atar — makes a breakfast of champions in Abukhdeir’s native Palestine. He was born in Jerusalem and came to the United States in 1979 with his parents. Abukhdeir then followed in his father’s footsteps by serving his new country as an engineer for the U.S. Air Force. But the post-9/11 era wasn’t exactly kind to brown people of Muslim faith, even those in the service. So, he retired in 2005 after 28 years and

HEART OF JERUSALEM CAFE 5683 Red Bug Lake Road, Winter Springs 407-960-2755 heartofjerusalemcafe.com

opened his first Heart of Jerusalem not too far from Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. Using food as a means to bridge cultural divides may sound hokey or clichéd, but it worked for Abukhdeir. Business boomed, other HOJs followed, and that kebab sampler ($19.89) of his, with its grilled cubes of marinated lamb, chicken and ground kufta over rice, built understanding one bite at a time (especially that kufta). And his shawarmas, too. The “chikofel” ($9.89) packs chicken and falafel into a grilled za’atar pita with plenty of crunchy and creamy things – pickled turnips and banana peppers; lettuce and tomato; hummus and tzatziki. For an extra $5, I got a side (my choice: lemony tabouleh), a drink (loved the Arnold Palmer fashioned from fresh sage tea and lemonade) and baklava. The latter was a yule log of honey, nuts, and filo pastry and you’ll absolutely heart it. It’s all very gratifying stuff. When I got up to leave, I looked around and noticed I was the only one left in the dining room. Images of Palestine projected from two flat screens as Arabic music played from a third. I caught sight of a few more camel sculptures near the front but as I headed out, I stopped next to the armored guards, patted them on their heads, and bid farewell to these knights of the brown table.

And Just Like That … (left) debuts Thursday on HBO Max, Saturday Morning All Star Hits! (right) debuts Friday on Netflix PHOTOS COURTESY HBO, NETFLIX

ON (small) SCREENS IN ORLANDO New streaming shows premiering this week that you won’t want to miss by Steve Schneider PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, DEC. 8: Carolin Kebekus: The Last Christmas Special — You know the holiday season is really underway when a German standup comic materializes in your stream, telling you everything that weirds her out about Christmas. Advent calendars and hangovers are two topics she promises to cover, although speaking for the Western Hemisphere, I’d say that “Krampus” warrants a mention. (Netflix) Welcome to Earth — Once it was his catchphrase in a cheeseball flick about an alien invasion; now it’s the title of Will Smith’s oh-so-serious six-part documentary (made in conjunction with National Geographic and Darren Aronofsky, no less) that reveals the natural wonders of our planet. Please tell me Bruce Willis isn’t prepping a limited series on the history of the Second Amendment titled Now I Have a Machine Gun, Ho Ho Ho. (Disney+)

PREMIERES THURSDAY, DEC. 9: And Just Like That … — Grab yourself a cosmo and get ready to learn what’s happened to Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda in the two decades since Sex and the City. A beguiling medley of Hepatitis C and Herpes Simplex II, one would imagine. As for Samantha, she isn’t a part of the reboot, on account of she was already 80 back then and she’s dead. (HBO Max)

Asakusa Kid — This biopic about legendary Japanese comic actor/writer/ director “Beat” Takeshi Kitano traces his humble beginnings on the Tokyo club scene of the 1960s. Hey, maybe we’ll learn what weirds him out about Christmas. (Netflix) Death Valley — In what I’m taking as a metaphor for the times we live in, mercenaries embark upon a rescue mission to save a scientist from a supernatural monster that wants her dead. OK, so Sean Hannity isn’t technically supernatural, but try telling him that poor Dr. Fauci just wants you to cover your mouth when you cough! (Shudder) The Real Housewives of the North Pole — If you thought you knew how many binge-watching genres could be mashed up into a single film, guess again. Here comes a comedy about cutthroat holiday decorating that features alumni from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and … Breaking Bad, of all things. This ain’t no white Christmas; it’s blue, bitch! (Peacock) Summer Camp Island — Season 5 of the whimsically whacked-out animated hit will delve into the power of emotions, including the magic properties of tears and the propensity of memories and regrets to come out as ghosts when you burp. Hey, if that’s all true, my house is going to be the epicenter of creation on New Year’s Eve. (HBO Max)

relatives are just two of the New Year’s dilemmas the Peanuts gang face in their latest special. Come on over to my place, kids; me and the gang from Summer Camp Island are gonna get blotto and puke up a big-ass cup of kindness. (Apple TV+)

PREMIERES FRIDAY, DEC. 10: Aranyak — A Bengali thriller was the source material for this seven-episode series about a lady cop who has to solve a murder in a mysterious forest. Too bad it isn’t set on Summer Camp Island, because then she could just fart her way to an epiphany or something. (Netflix)

Twentysomethings: Austin — You know that one town in Texas you’d kind of consider living in, maybe? Well, a lot of other people feel the same way, including the octet of young folk who are the stars of this reality series. Its working title was Roaring Twenties, but apparently nobody in the target audience could be counted on to get that reference whatsoever. (Which means a lot of wasted product placement for the show’s official sponsor, 23andMe Skidoo.) (Netflix)

Dafne and the Rest — Spain is the source of a comedy-drama series about 30-somethings in Madrid who are discovering that life isn’t what they had expected.

LOCAL RELEASES

Moki Tapes is a young Orlando-based label forged from the national inferno of the summer of 2020. In response to all the disaffection and discord, Julio Felix and William Powell — both notable locals as members of ferocious noise-punk supergroup Witchbender — formed the label as a means of community involvement. With it, they got meaningful and active by releasing compilations stocked with mostly Florida music to aid crucial homegrown causes like the locally launched All Black Lives Fund and Pouring Out Refreshing Outreach (PORO), an Orlando organization providing food and housing for those in need. Their latest comp, titled …third, just dropped and is again raising funds for PORO. Much more than just good intentions, though, this latest 12-song collection continues Moki Tapes’ outstanding music curation, with strong material from Florida powerhouses like Wreath, the Ludes and, of course, Witchbender. Just as notable, this edition also unearths some obscure local gems, like future-soul artist Sashauna. Among these are even some exclusive premieres of exciting new Orlando acts — one all-star joint launched here is Haley’s Court, the mighty alliance of Terry Caudill (3D Boy, Flashlights, etc.) and Jonathan Zegilla (Sad Halen) that debuts with fuzz-tastic single “What Else Can I Do (But Cry).” Another fresh discovery is heavy band Weak, the brand-new vehicle of local figure Danny Forester (best known these days as owner of Mills 50 coffee camper Framework Craft Coffee Bar and partner at the Nook) that emerges here with crushing single “The Swamp.” As a mixtape done with tasteful selection for a vital local cause, Moki Tapes’ …third is an all-around win. It’s available now on Bandcamp.

Man, you know shit’s gotten heavy if the Supervillains don’t wanna party. The popular Orlando ska punkers have just reemerged with experimental new record Drones, a six-song EP written under the pall of the pandemic. Rather than their usual hijinks and high times, this expansive concept record revolves around the running theme of impending peril via aerial technology, taking inspiration from subjects like aliens, Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 and HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey. In tone, theme and sometimes even style, Drones is a darker, more out-there voyage than we’re used to seeing from the Supervillains. But it’s an interesting and nuanced side of a normally good-time band. Drones is streaming now. And this weekend, you can see some of it live at the Supervillains Christmas Kegger and Toy Drive (7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 10, Ace Cafe, $10$25).

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

R.I.P., Soundbar. And showgoers, please mask up.

Nothing, Bambara, Midwife: For the past decade, the neo-shoegaze excellence of Philadelphia’s Nothing has been a leading sonic force. Brooklyn band Bambara will further rock the night with their noise and noir. And the spectral haze of Denver act Midwife will put you in a spell suspended between shoegaze and slowcore. This show is a last-minute move from the recently closed Soundbar, so be patient about potential logistical hitches. (7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 10, The Haven, $18-$20) The Pauses, Pohgoh, Virginity: Few Orlando acts have set the standard like the Pauses. To celebrate the decade mark of their landmark debut LP, A Cautionary Tale, the flagship indie-rock band will perform this Orlando classic in full, accompanied on cello by J. Robbins bandmate Gordon Withers. In the longstanding Pauses tradition of doing things with a flourish, the stage will replicate the elaborate living room set they used for the original release show, designed to depict the scene inside the burning house on the album cover. Whatever the fuck DeSantis says, please be cool and heed this show’s totally reasonable request that attendees provide proof of vaccination or negative COVID test within 48 hours of show. Masks required. (8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 11, Will’s Pub, $10) Kairos Creature Club, Timothy Eerie, Dewars, Get With This: Powered by members of La Luz and Boytoy, Kairos Creature Club are an intriguing garage-psych band that splashed onto the scene last year with a conceptual interactive video series for single “Voodoo Success” that you navigate like a choose-your-own-adventure journey. KCC will be making their Orlando debut alongside some notable Florida natives. (8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 12, Will’s Pub, $10) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

“PAST TENSE” So, my husband (42-year-old straight male) and I (38-year-old bi female) have had a closed relationship so far, but we have an active fantasy life. We’ve been together for about four years, and we both had our fair share of partners (casual and serious) before that. We like to talk about fantasies involving other people during sex, be they actual (past partners) or imagined (my beautiful surfing instructor on a trip). Once while he ate my pussy, I asked him about all the pussies he’s enjoyed in the past and he brought up one of his exes — a relationship that ended 10 years before we met — and he said he sometimes thought about her when he went down on and/or fucked subsequent partners, including me. This turned me on. A lot. I started bringing her up every now and then while we fucked, I asked him more about her, I fantasized about meeting her and eating the pussy he enjoyed so much. Like other past partners, she became part of the mental/verbal porn reel we sometimes enjoy during sex. Then one day, in an unrelated conversation, it came out that he’d been engaged to her, that the reason they broke up was because they couldn’t make a long-distance relationship work after he moved to the country where we live, and that it took him years to get over her. This killed it for me. Not only that, but I also now feel weird about all of the times we fantasized about her in the past. It’s not like he did anything wrong — I never specifically asked how serious the relationship was or why it ended — but I can’t shake the irrational feeling there was an omission. I sometimes think about past experiences during masturbation or sex, but never about serious partners — never about men I’ve lived with, been married to or had a child with. Those experiences are too emotionally loaded to mix in with my current sex life in a healthy, detached way. I know my husband may process/feel things differently, but I can’t help but equate what he was doing to me fantasizing about my ex-husband during sex, which I haven’t done and would feel weird as fuck even contemplating. I don’t see her as a threat — they’re not in touch and she lives in another hemisphere — and I believe him when he says he has no significant baggage about any of his exes, including her. But knowing she was one of the most significant relationships in his life makes fantasizing about her — out loud, with me — feel “off.” I don’t just have this feeling just about her now, but about his past overall. How do I shake this? Thoughts? Turned On Turns Into Turn Off If thinking and talking about your husband’s past doesn’t turn you on anymore, TOTITO, stop thinking and talking about

your husband’s past. But if you want to get back to enjoying these fantasies with your husband — dirty talk about your previous sex partners — you’re going to need to reason with yourself. Let’s give it a whirl … So, your husband was engaged to this woman and presumably lived with her for a time, but your husband’s relationship with this woman nevertheless meets just one of your three somewhat arbitrary criteria for “pussy it’s not OK to think about during sex with a current partner.” Yes, it was a serious relationship, but they never married or had kids. And if they had wanted to be together, they would’ve found a way to make it work despite the distance. If she had wanted to be with your husband more than she wanted to remain where she was living when they broke it off, she could’ve married him and emigrated. Likewise, if your husband had wanted to be with this woman more than he wanted to remain where he was living when they broke it off, he could’ve married her and emigrated. Neither made that choice, TOTITO, and I’m guessing neither made that choice because the serious wasn’t as serious as the “engaged” thing makes it sound. Yeah, yeah: Someone proposed (most likely your husband), someone said yes (most likely his ex). But words are cheap, and “engaged” is just a word. It’s a promise and a serious one, TOTITO, but in the end it’s just air. And now, since I’m feeling daring, I’m going risk doing some math … You say you’ve been with your 42-yearold husband for four years. His relationship with his former fiancée ended 10 years before you two met. So, that means your husband was at most 28 years old when he broke off his engagement with his ex and assuming they’d been dating for a few years, he was what? In his mid-20s when they met? That means his prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain involved in executive functions like decision-making, long-term planning and higher reasoning, wasn’t even fully formed when he proposed to this woman. So you have a choice. You can attach a lot of significance to the fact that they were engaged, or you can look at the other facts in evidence — that they both chose the place where they lived over the relationship, how old they were at the time they got engaged — and see the relationship as far less significant than the “engaged” label makes it sound. All that said, if hearing about the pussies in your husband’s past isn’t doing anything for your pussy right now, tell your husband you don’t want to hear about them for the moment. If you miss dirty talk during sex, instead of talking about hot sex you’ve both

had in the past, TOTITO, try talking about all the hot sex you’re going to have in the future. For the past few months, I’ve been hooking up a lot with my co-worker (I’m a bi woman, he’s a straight man). Things are going well. We really like each other (we’ve even said “I love you” to each other), but there are a couple of problems. First, I’m 23 and he’s 40. The age difference doesn’t really bother me if I don’t think about it too much, but it matters to a lot of my loved ones. Second, I’m not looking for a serious relationship, as I haven’t been single in a while and am kind of going through my “ho phase,” but it seems like he wants to be exclusive. I’ve tried to break things off or slow things down, but he’s going through horrible shit right now and needs me. I have improved his life, and he has improved my mental state, but he’s also kind of a bad influence and has gotten me back into bad habits. To make matters worse, the new guy at our work seems to be into me and he’s cute and way closer to my age, and we get along really well, so I might want to give that a shot. I don’t know whether to end things or even how to end it if I wanted to. Any advice on how to get out of this gracefully? Pretty Horrible At Something Easy

Meet Kody! Kody (A434158) is 6 years old and has been at the shelter for over 40 days. Kody was surrendered by his family because they were moving to a place that does not allow dogs. According to Kody’s previous family, he is housebroken, leash-trained, knows basic obedience commands, is friendly with men and women, and does well with other dogs and cats. He is also neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and ready to go home with his new family the day he is adopted!

When you say you want to get out of this “gracefully,” what you mean is you want the impossible from me. You want me to tell you how to end this relationship so subtly that the guy you dumped doesn’t even notice or get upset. Sorry, PHASE, but there’s no way to end things with the co-worker you’re currently fucking so you can start fucking the co-worker you’d rather be fucking without the co-worker you’re currently fucking finding out you dumped him so you could start fucking a different co-worker. If it was just your family that objected to the relationship because of the age difference, I would urge you to stay in it. But you want out and the relationship isn’t healthy. (You don’t mention the bad habits he’s gotten you back into, PHASE, but I’m going to assume it’s not double parking and public grooming.) You can’t stay just because he needs you. P.S. I’m supposed to tell you not to sleep with co-workers — it’s right here in my dogeared copy of Writing Advice Columns for Dummies — but I’m going to set that aside, seeing as that ship has already sailed, struck an iceberg and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

During the month of December, we are offering our Mutt Cracker promotion! Adoption fees will be $20 for both dogs and cats. In the spirit of the holidays, every adopter will also receive a festive Christmas stocking filled with all sorts of pet goodies. Let their paws prance into your home for the holidays! All pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to leaving with their new families. Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.

ORLANDO WEEKLY

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● DEC. 8-14, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky was experimental and innovative and influential. His imagery was often dreamlike, and his themes were metaphysical. He felt that the most crucial aspect of his creative process was his faith. If he could genuinely believe in the work he was doing, he was sure he’d succeed at even the most improbable projects. But that was a challenge for him. “There is nothing more difficult to achieve than a passionate, sincere, quiet faith,” he said. In accordance with your astrological omens during the next 12 months, Aries, I suggest you draw inspiration from his approach. Cultivating a passionate, sincere, quiet faith will be more attainable than it has ever been. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware,” said philosopher Martin Buber. How true! I would add that the traveler is wise to prepare for the challenges and opportunities of those secret destinations, be alert for them if they appear, and treat them with welcome and respect, not resistance and avoidance. When travelers follow those protocols, they are far more likely to be delightfully surprised than disappointingly surprised. Everything I just said will apply to you in the coming weeks, Taurus. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini sleight-of-hand artist Apollo Robinson may be the best and most famous pickpocket in the world. Fortunately, he uses his skill for entertainment purposes only — he doesn’t steal strangers’ money and valuables from their pockets and purses and jackets. On one occasion, while in the company of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, he pilfered multiple items from a Secret Service agent. He gave the items back, of course. It was an amusing and humbling lesson that inspired law-enforcement officials to seek him out as a consultant. I suspect that in the coming weeks, you may have comparable abilities to trick, fool, beguile and enchant. I hope you will use your superpowers exclusively to carry out good deeds and attract inviting possibilities. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Many sportswriters regard Michael Jordan as the greatest basketball player ever. He was the Most Valuable Player five times and had a higher scoring average than anyone else who has ever played. And yet he confesses, “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life.” He says the keys to his success are his familiarity with bungles and his determination to keep going despite his bungles. I invite you to meditate on Jordan’s example in the coming days. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In his poem “Song of Poplars,” Leo author Aldous Huxley speaks to a stand of poplar

trees. He asks them if they are an “agony of undefined desires.” Now I will pose the same question to you, Leo. Are you an agony of undefined desires? Or are you a treasury of well-defined desires? I hope it’s the latter. But if it’s not, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to fix the problem. Learning to be precise about the nature of your longings is your growing edge, your frontier. Find out more about what you want, please. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Black is your lucky color for the foreseeable future. I invite you to delve further than ever before into its mysteries and meanings and powers. I encourage you to celebrate blackness and honor blackness and nurture blackness in every way you can imagine. For inspiration, meditate on how, in art, black is the presence of all colors. In printing, black is a color needed to produce other colors. In mythology, blackness is the primal source of all life and possibility. In psychology, blackness symbolizes the rich unconscious core from which all vitality emerges.

“No such thing as too many sequins.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the first season of the animated TV series South Park, its two creators produced an episode called “Make Love, Not Warcraft.” The story lovingly mocked nerds and the culture of online gaming. Soon after sending his handiwork to executive producers, Libran co-creator Trey Parker decided it was a terrible show that would wreck his career. He begged for it to be withheld from broadcast. But the producers ignored his pleas. That turned out to be a lucky break. The episode ultimately won an Emmy Award and became popular with fans. I foresee the possibility of comparable events in your life, Libra. Don’t be too sure you know which of your efforts will work best. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Nobel Prize-winning Scorpio author André Gide had an unusual relationship with his wife, Madeline Rondeaux. Although married for 43 years, they never had sex. As long as she was alive, he never mentioned her in his extensive writings. But after she died, he wrote a book about their complex relationship. Here’s the best thing he ever said about her: “I believe it was through her that I drew the need for truthfulness and sincerity.” I’d love for you to be lit up by an influence like Madeline Rondeaux. I’d be excited for you to cultivate a bond with a person who will inspire your

longing to be disarmingly candid and refreshingly genuine. If there are no such characters in your life, go looking for them. If there are, deepen your connection. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A fashion company called Tibi sells a silver minidress that features thousands of sequins. It’s also available in gold. I wonder if the designers were inspired by poet Mark Doty’s line: “No such thing, the queen said, as too many sequins.” In my astrological estimation, the coming weeks will be a fun time to make this one of your mottoes. You will have a poetic license to be flashy, shiny, bold, swanky, glittery, splashy, sparkling and extravagant. If expressing such themes in the way you dress isn’t appealing, embody more metaphorical versions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I have pasts inside me I did not bury properly,” writes Nigerian poet Ijeoma Umebinyuo. Isn’t that true for each of us? Don’t we all carry around painful memories as if they were still fresh and current? With a little work, we could reduce the potency of at least some of them and consign them to a final resting place where they wouldn’t nag and sting us anymore. The good news, Capricorn, is that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to do just that: bury any pasts that you have not properly buried before now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In February 1967, the Beatles recorded their album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in London. A man claiming to be Jesus Christ convinced Paul McCartney to let him into the studio. McCartney later said that he was pretty sure it wasn’t the real Jesus. But if by some remote chance it was, he said, he didn’t want to make a big mistake. I bring this to your attention, Aquarius, because I suspect that comparable events may be brewing in your vicinity. My advice: Don’t assume you already know who your teachers and helpers are. Here’s the relevant verse from the Bible: “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): According to Professor of Classics Anne Carson, the ancient Greek author Homer “suggested we stand in time with our backs to the future, face to the past.” And why would we do that? To “search for the meaning of the present — scanning history and myth for a precedent.” I bring this to your attention because I think you should avoid such an approach in the coming months. In my view, the next chapter of your life story will be so new, so unpredicted, that it will have no antecedents, no precursory roots that might illuminate its plot and meaning.
