Holiday…what holiday? Juan and his crew are here to mow the yard and blow the leaves off the roof. He’s from Mexico and probably doesn’t give two shits about Thanksgiving.

Nearly a week and then I'll be in New Orleans. It can't come soon enough!

Cry me a river, you fucking elf on a shelf looking motherfucker.

Thanksgiving meal number one: cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, ham, garlic roll, deviled eggs. All made by my mom.

Took my blood pressure for the first time in months. 115/65. That’s the best bp I’ve had in years.

Power washing is so satisfying. Even when your body is like “dude, we’re tired” you still keep going because it’s like magic.

Unión Migrante has trainings on how to safely/effectively film 🧊 tonight (lower 9), monday 12/1 (baton rouge), tuesday 12/2 (midcity), wednesday 12/3 (harvey), and monday 12/8 (lacombe) + more coming. DM me for more info if you want to attend one. but be patient as i need to vet if i don’t know you.

She wants me to go to bed. It’s only 9:15!

I don’t know how to adequately articulate this, but when people blame this round of super skinny celebs on Ozempic and other weight loss drugs, it feels like another slap in the face to us fatties. The drug that’s literally saving my life is being blamed for whatever is going on with these people.

2:48 pm ICE sighted at 300 N Broad, NOLA. Screenshot from ICE Block app, which unfortunately has been deleted from the app stores.

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days since you took your love away (This pope won’t be the real enemy.)

My knee is a lot better today. Still sore and I’m using a knee sleeve to stabilize it but it’s doing okay. My poor knees. They’ve been through hell ten times over.

Fucked up my “good” knee (it’s less bad than the other one, or was) by getting up off the floor. Really bad pain and now it hurts like hell, so I guess I’m going to urgent care tomorrow. This really pisses me off. I had finally gotten back into a regular walking schedule and now that’s fucked.

"May New Orleans remember exactly who the hell we are. May we lift our neighbors the way they lifted this city after the water came. May the dump trucks roll again if they must...[a]nd may the right words, however vulgar, however sacred, rise up like a brass band refusing to quit." - Cheryl Gerber

I'm in better shape than I have been in years, but my Apple watch still tells me my cardio health is low. After a quick googling, I've come to discover that on this particular metric, the Apple watch is full of shit. Turned that notification off and will not worry about it anymore.

Woke up thirsty thirsty, made a glass of choco milk, brought it in my room, and promptly spilled it EVERYWHERE. It wasn’t my intention to do laundry and a deep clean of my bedroom at 4:30am but here we are.

I would not be making it through the hell that is everything right now without @hcrichardson.bsky.social.

I may have to try this when I'm down in a couple of weeks. Haven't had a good Irish breakfast since Irish House closed. www.nola.com/entertainmen...

I finished The American Revolution and now I think I need to buy a couple of books on it, for reference.

I need people to stop saying that these super skinny celebrities are all on Ozempic. I'm on it, and it doesn't work if you don't eat enough. If you don't get enough nutrients, protein, and fiber, it simply DOES NOT WORK. You know what does get you that skinny? An eating disorder.

Ex-fucking-actly.

@skylight.social logs me out and then won’t recognize my password the first time I try to log back in. It takes about ten minutes and then it likes that same password and will let me in. This is not conducive to regular usage.

Me: I wonder how much a Nintendo Switch 2 is, cuz I wanna play Animal Crossing. Also me, seeing the price:

After watching two episodes so far, I can very much recommend the Ken Burns doc about the American Revolution.

Hey #NolaTwitter friends - my mother in law died over the weekend and left us with no way to pay for her cremation. Anything helps even a share. Thanks! www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-h...

I fixed the pressure washer today so nobody cain't tell me nothing.

It is HARD when you've lost nearly 50 pounds and you're still really, really fat.

and here's the relevant info about the whistles from the group in chicago that distributes them. i got mine in a whistle kit from Unión Migrante. also comes with a Know Your Rights card in English/Spanish.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Sold an item on Ebay. I shipped it in a box that was the exact size and weight I said it would be in the listing. The seller paid almost $20 for shipping based on that info. Today I was charged an extra $15.70 for "underpaid" shipping label, so with fees the item that sold for $67 netted me $28.60.

We have been under constant assault by this orange fascist turd and his cronies for ten years. Please just let people find their joy where they can. If that means watching Christmas movies and decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving, then so be it. Just ignore it if it’s not for you.

Bad news. It won’t charge. Its secrets remain unknown.

Look what I found! I need to charge it to see if it still works.

No one really talks about how infantilized you are, no matter your age, when you're the youngest child who never married or had children of her own. at 52, I am treated just like I was when I was 17.

Every person in the United States should receive a basic income from the government, abortion should be a right and freely available, all health care should be free, high speed rail should be built asap, restoring the Louisiana coastline & barrier islands should be a priority, etc. Do it all & more.

Megyn Kelly should be fired, ostracized, and stripped of her wealth and assets for saying that it’s okay to rape a 15-year-old child. She has a daughter who is 14! She’s a monster and it’s time we were rid of her.

“Music! Fighting! Sausages!” Death by Lightning is worth the watch for that line alone.

When you read these Epstein emails, you start to understand why so many prominent conservatives are obsessed with checking the genitals of children. It's a big thing for them!

Unpopular Thanksgiving-related opinion: mirlitons are gross.

I quit watching the Materialists halfway through when I realized Dakota Johnson’s character was not going to marry Pedro Pascal’s character, which is just fucking stupid.

My new glasses are here (again) and the last ones I had to send back were, in fact, not right because of my mistake. I didn't choose "progressive" when selecting the lens, and everything was a blur. These are fine. So once again, let me recommend Zenni dot com for your eyewear needs.

I honestly don't think I'm ever going to get hired again. This is impossible.

Some good news.

The job hunt just keeps getting better every day.

All I can say is keep going.

I’ve been saying for over a decade that we need a new Works Progress Administration in this country. If we survive this administration, I hope it happens.

I am seeing restaurants post some absolutely insane prices for ready made Thanksgiving dishes. $65 for roasted Brussels sprouts? $80 for sweet potato casserole? $550 for the full spread including turducken? Who can afford this?!?

I learned a new Irish word today: aonarán. It means a person who is content being alone. It’s me. Hi. I’m the aonarán, it’s me.

I need you all to know that my mother sent me this. 🤣 That is all.

Oh cool, Apple TV is down. Here I was thinking it was the best and most reliable streaming app. My bad.
