Florida Locals Defy Ron DeSantis By Restoring Pulse Rainbow Crosswalk

People in Orlando have defied Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and reinstated a rainbow crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub, after Florida officials removed the painted crossing installed in memory of the 49 people killed at the site in 2016.

People took matters into their own hands after the commemorative crosswalk was removed, and drew it back onto the ground.

It's still daylight, so I'm going to take advantage of it to start watching Kairo / The Pulse (2001). Does someone remember / know it ? @gigi-orosco @oculus-de-malus @radioceann @buddyblanc ?

So if any mutuals sees this and can light a candle, please be my guest...T_T

“I listen to a lot of playlists that are like 70s soft rock, and one of the things me and Blake love to do together, that we did when we first started hanging out - When I first went to his house and I was like, ‘This is so weird I'm at Blake Shelton's and he's like country.’ It was like a foreign land; do you know what I mean? For me, it was just so far away from the California Anaheim girl that I am. And we were just gonna hang out and on the TV was like all the 80s videos, right? And I was like, ‘Oh, you like 80s music too?’ He's like, ‘Oh, yeah.’ And it was like, ‘Oh, okay.’ I had never even heard one of his songs - not even one. I didn't even know he was a person when I met him. I didn't know who he was or nothing. So, it was interesting because it was like, ‘Oh! We land in this place where we both love all these 80s songs.’ And then what we would do is - He'd put a song on and be like, ‘Do you know this one? Do you know this one?’ And I knew all of them. I was like, ‘Yep, yep. I don't know the title, but I know the song, I could sing along to it.’ And then I'd be like, ‘How do you not know this? Oh, cuz you're younger than me.’ I mean, it's just so fun to do.”

What is this about you say? Stay tuned!

Thanks to @trumpets0ng and @ladybugsimblr for letting me use your sims' credentials lol. Walker Pearson from Jett Studios (trumpet) was the photographer, and Alex Greene (LB) was the author. He also wrote Bailey Kay's article.

(transcript under the cut)

A well-dressed man walked into the studio, swaggy and confident, with more drip than a coffee pot. His perfectly tailored suit glimmered under the stage lights, looking just as expensive as one would imagine it to be. My initial thought upon seeing this cat with a larger than life personality was, “Oh, great. Here comes another industry brat.” Then, he walked up to my assistant, smiled, extended his hand, and said, “Hi! I’m Orange.” That’s when I knew I’d been completely wrong about him.

I started off slow.

ALEX: How’ve you been? How’s life treating you?

ORANGE: Life is wonderful, thanks for asking.

I’m excited about my baby sister being back on the west coast! She wanted to spread her wings and moved east; that’s where she met and married her guy. But she’s a mom now, and my parents are getting old, so she’s back. I can’t wait to spend time with my nephew and get to know my brother-in-law better.

ALEX: Wow, okay. It’s always nice to have the family close. So where have you been all this time, my man?

He leaned back into the sofa with a huge sigh and a smile.

ORANGE: Where have I been… I’ve been everywhere, man!

ALEX: Oh word?

ORANGE: Yeah, man. I pride myself on not being a prideful person…which is probably the most proud thing I could say.

He laughs at his own joke, wiping fake sweat away from his brow. And all at once, he had me. I was sucked into his energy.

ORANGE: I appreciate everything my parents did for me, but I was never interested in following in their footsteps.

ALEX: Never?

ORANGE: Not really. I was kinda artsy as a kid. I can sing, but I never had a passion for it. Don’t get me wrong…I’m a gregarious kind of guy, so I wanted to be in the public. Just not doing what my parents did.

ALEX: So what did you do?

ORANGE: Whatever I could. I didn’t want it said of me that my life was handed to me, so I moved out, got a crappy apartment, and worked as a barista for a while. People told me I was funny, so I started writing sketches and going to the comedy clubs.

ALEX: And then sim.TV called.

Laughter erupts, startling everyone on set. It’s loud and hearty and sounds like that uncle at the family barbeque.

ORANGE: It didn’t exactly happen that way, but yes…eventually. I honestly don’t know what happened. I’m guessing someone just happened to be at one of my shows and thought I would be a good fit for this new talk show they were planning.

ALEX: What does this mean for you?

ORANGE: Wow… This means… It’s so validating. I’m middle-aged now, and all my peers are off doing so many amazing things. It was really hard to resist the urge to go to my parents and ask for help. But the thing that kept me going was this moment right here. I knew that if I stayed the course, eventually something would happen, and I would have an immense feeling of pride. And I do.

ALEX: That’s so dope. So, tell us about the show.

ORANGE: It’s called “The Pulse,” and it’s all about keeping you entertained and informed about what’s going on in the entertainment world.

ALEX: So you’re keeping your finger on the pulse of the industry.

ORANGE: You get it. I’m so grateful for the opportunity because it’s so perfect for me. I grew up around it. I know all dirty secrets, but I also recognize and respect the beauty in it.

ALEX: So from your interviews, should we expect to get a different perspective of celebrity life?

ORANGE: I hope so. I don’t want to be just another talk show host, asking the same tired questions. One thing I want to do differently is get the audience involved. Everyone watching has their own reasons for being interested in someone, so if there’s something they want to know, I’d like to give them the answers.

ALEX: Okay! I like that. Kinda like, power to the people.

ORANGE: Exactly.

ALEX: So, why Nick?

ORANGE: Why not Nick? He’s the hottest thing smoking right now, and he’s not even working. I’m trying to get on his level! But seriously though, I think we’d vibe well. We’re similar in our values and ways of working, and I don’t think he’s ever done a TV interview before, so I think it’s fitting that he be my first guest.

ALEX: Best of luck to you, man. Thanks for sitting down with us.

Quick Thought #5: Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Theory

Jessica Jones: Mother of Danielle Cage-Jones

My personal theory that I'd like to see is Jessica Jones becoming a mother to her daughter Danielle Cage-Jones. Her struggles with connecting to people due to her trauma and the final scene with Jessica not leaving New York would finally get some payoff.

It would explore a new side of her character as she tries to become a better person while handling her responsibilities as a mother. Her relationship with Luke Cage post-series finale can be very interesting whether they're romantically involved or had a few one night stands.

This can also explain her absence as Jessica wanted to stay away from the more dangerous parts of her work, thus not getting involved with criminals or vigilantes. There can also be references to her comics Alias and the Pulse working as a journalist reporting on superheroes. This would get her involved in the plot of season 2.

Sure, this may not be the case, but it doesn't hurt to add some storylines to headcanons here and there.
