I decided to do a random AU gameplay. So, I put down Pearl Costa (she's Luna’s great-grandma) and her girlfriend Kendall Douglas. They're both spellcasters, and met at the Magic HQ College*. So in the original story with Luna and all, Pearl ended up breaking up with Kendall, moving back to the sim-human world, and married a non-spellcaster man (she's pansexual), and had Alicia Costa, who then had Luke, Maya, Angie, and Abby with her husband, and then they had their respective kids such as Luna, Rowan, Nick, Imran, Tess, Yaritza and some of those kids grew up and had their kids.

In this AU, Pearl stayed with Kendall, and they moved into a starter house in their mid-20s. They ended up getting pregnant, and had their daughter, who they named Madeline Douglas. She's a cutie, and she looks like both moms and has Pearl's pretty green eyes. 😊 Unfortunately, Pearl's parents are very strict on moving in and having kids before marriage, so they're a bit estranged from Pearl, Kendall, and Madeline.

Today marks six years since the tragic mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

As we honor the 17 Parkland victims and send love to their families today, we also mourn for all lives lost and forever changed by gun violence since — including everyone impacted by the shooting at the SuperBowl Parade JUST a few hours ago.

Don't let ANYONE tell you there's nothing to be done about gun violence. It’s up to the politicians WE elect to propose and enact critical gun safety measures, and other bills to protect our children and communities.

Our Vote is Our Voice. Make sure you, your friends, and your family members are all registered to vote today at weall.vote/register.

Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas

'We were perfect together. Until we met." I can't help but smile at the lyrics in her letter. She misses me. In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever...And that was the start. For the next seven years, it was us. Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Sometimes there's one a week or three in a day, but I need them. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am. We only had three rules. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. We had a good thing going. Why ruin it? Until I run across a photo of a girl online. Name's Ryen, loves Gallo's pizza, and worships her iPhone. What are the chances? F*ck it. I need to meet her. I just don't expect to hate what I find.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to sign a bill on Friday allowing juries to recommend the death penalty in capital cases on an 8-4 vote, a move spurred by the less-than-unanimous vote that led to the Parkland school shooter being sentenced to life in prison.

The state's Republican-led House of Representatives approved the measure with an 80-30 vote on Thursday, following the Republican-controlled state Senate's approval in March.

If the Republican Governor signs the bill into law, Florida prosecutors trying capital felony cases would need to convince only two-thirds of the 12-member jury that someone who is convicted deserves the death penalty, rather than a unanimous decision by a jury.

The change only affects the penalty phase of capital trials. It would have no effect on the requirement for a jury's unanimous vote to convict a defendant.

DeSantis has pushed for the legislation since October when he said he was "very disappointed" after a jury could not come to a unanimous decision on giving a death sentence to Nikolas Cruz, who killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in 2018.

Three jurors voted to spare Cruz, and by default his sentence was life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

If the bill becomes law, Florida would join Alabama as the only states where a unanimous jury decision is not required, the center noted.

Tony Montalto, whose daughter Gina was killed in the Parkland shooting, has been pushing for Florida lawmakers to change the jury requirement.

"Because of the jury's incorrect decision ... the victims, my beautiful daughter, her 13 classmates and her three teachers did not get the justice that they deserve," Montalto said during an interview on WPLG, an ABC affiliate in South Florida, in March.

DeSantis, widely thought to be weighing a 2024 presidential campaign, has accelerated efforts to build his national profile, especially around crime and justice issues. In February, he traveled to New York, Chicago and Philadelphia to speak to law enforcement groups on criminal justice matters.

Legal and ethical questions have swirled around capital punishment in the United States in recent years as states have found it difficult to procure drugs to carry out the death penalty through lethal injections. Several executions have been botched in recent years.

In 2017, Florida passed a law that required death penalties to be imposed only after a unanimous recommendation by a jury.

The law came after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down an earlier state law, saying it unconstitutionally let judges determine the facts that would lead to a death sentence, rather than juries.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) asked Monday that a congressional field hearing focused on red flag laws be held in Parkland, Fla., where such provisions were enacted in 2018 after the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The request — made to House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) — came days after a gunman fatally shot eight people at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas.

“Guns have become the #1 killer of children. Parents worry as they send their kids to school, to the mall, or the movies. It’s a fear all parents live with. Public places once considered safe are now targets for gun violence,” Moskowitz, a member of the Oversight Committee, wrote in a letter to Comer and Jordan.

“I request that the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and House Judiciary Committee hold a field hearing in Parkland, Florida, to learn about the success of ‘red flag laws,’” he added.

In March 2018, the Florida legislature passed and then-Gov. Rick Scott (R) signed a gun control bill into law that, among other provisions, instituted so-called “red flag laws,” which authorized law enforcement officers to request a “risk protection order.” The order would “prevent persons who are at high risk of harming themselves or others from accessing firearms or ammunition.”

The law also raised the minimum age to buy a firearm from 18 to 21, imposed a three-day waiting period for most long gun purchases, allowed certain trained school employees to have concealed handguns on them while on school campuses, and established new programs focused on mental health for schools.

The GOP-led Florida legislature approved the measure less than two months after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in which 17 students and staff members were killed. Moskowitz — who is an alum of the school — was serving in the Florida state legislature when the gun control bill passed.

The Republican legislators and governor backed the measure despite strong opposition from the National Rifle Association.
