Looks like a dump truck overturned on Airline right by the Saints facility and traffic going west toward the airport is at a standstill.

Choosing Chemistry: Life and the Universe over General Chem was the best thing I have done this semester. The class is fun and easy and I really want to take Dr. Gallagher’s Forensics class just so I can hear more about his work on NOPD corruption, which we make him talk about anyway 🤣

I have spent the last few days doing something for me. We had to give up our office when my MIL couldn’t care for herself anymore. They came and picked up her hospital furniture on Tuesday and I have been working to clean things and setting up my side of the office again.

Because this week isn’t enough of a shit show, the shellfish allergic kid ate a fried wonton from a Chinese restaurant and is now having an allergic reaction.

I tried to go to class today, I struggled to put one foot in front of the other and then a minor inconvience happened and I was done with the day. I’ll try again tomorrow.

So my anthropology paper is on the cultural and economic impact of the Eras Tour and how female fandoms are ridiculed and thought to be childish even when they create a huge impact like Swifties do which we don’t see in male fandoms (cough sports)

I’m looking to interview for two local business owners that would be willing to talk about the economic impact of the Eras Tour in New Orleans on their business and how Swifties compare - not only economically but culturally to other visiting fandoms for my anthropology paper.

It’s been awhile, I miss you all but I do very much dislike BlueSky. School is going great. I have 4 A’s and a B going into the last 4 weeks. I have a huge anthropology paper to right and 3 finals on one day but I’ll live.

Hey #NOLASky #NolaTwitter does anyone need a bedside commode or a shower bench? We don’t want to throw them away but we have no use for them anymore.

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...

Olave should have caught that ball

FYI after the Saints game today, Fox8 is airing a Katrina retrospective, so be prepared to hear it mentioned 5000 times during the game.

I’m missing my Rising Tide peeps this week. #nolasky

I’m going to need to avoid the local news over the next few weeks.

Chemistry and sociology are going to do me in this semester. These are my two just get a C and get out classes. My anthropology professor is so very adhd and his bouncing and passion for the subject matter make the class interesting. Week one done…

I am struggling with all the Katrina talk and hot takes from people who didn’t live here thanks to that documentary. Anyone else?

School starts in 2 weeks, we leave for Chicago in a week for Fan Expo in a week. So that means everything that needs to get done before school starts for me needs to be done this week. Oh and I had to quit caffeine because my doctor put me on beta blockers.

Does anyone have a cardiologist and/or a neurologist at Ochsner that they like?

Me already starting to want to collect things for my hypothetical classroom that I won’t have for 4 years especially books.

The parenting books don’t prepare you for the child who has been an athlete and a dancer since she was 3 but now can’t play sports or dance because of her chronic illness.

I buy school supplies like I am a 5 yr old with adult money.

So we moved our honeymoon trip scheduled for September 2025 to May 2026, we were going to go in March but the time we have to be in Orlando for Megacon is right in the middle of Florida Spring Break and that’s a NO.

Sometimes when you do the hard things like postpone your honeymoon so you can go back to school, you get cake.

Doing a thing

Doing a thing

I’m not prepared for the 100s of 20th anniversary articles / commentaries that coming our way in the next 2 months… Honestly would just like to pretend August doesn’t exist.

They cut all the programs that made them the go to college for kids who wanted to stay at home and now those kids are going to SLU.

I am pretty much convinced that the person making content for Visit Jefferson doesn’t live in the New Orleans area.

The snowball drama on TikTok is ridiculous. Also had to ask that man to take down his video two nights ago because he was filming minors (my child) without their permission all for his internet drama.

The fact that unemployment cuts you off at 12 weeks is really shitty.

ICEY CONDITIONS NEAR THE CHIPOTLE ON MAGAZINE

I decided to go back to school and finish my degree. USM has an online program for early childhood and LSU has an online program for Elementary Ed - so deciding between the two but leaning towards USM.

Hey y'all! I'm crowdfunding again. Anything helps!(including recommendations for a disability lawyer to help me with SSDI) Venmo:@Amanda-Hiern PayPal:@AmandaHiern Thanks! Please repost.

Me: 50k without power in Orleans Parish, and Ms. A just said all of Mandeville is out of power My kid: Who released a mylar balloon

Garbage truck crash shuts down I-10 exit at Airline Highway for at least a month

I said “5 more to go” and my kid said “did my boy Gary get caught yet, I’m playing bingo”. What in the New Orleans…

I’m not saying Tracy’s closing is karma but I am not not saying it’s karma.

Oh yay termite swarm season

I just feel like this is something that shouldn’t travel to New Orleans - not this year especially. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

On a whim today I applied for a Digital Marketing and Social Media Manager job at Walt Disney World - this is dream job territory for me. What’s that saying “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”.

My life got better when I realized I didn't have to be nice. Nice got me ran over, stressed out, & disrespected. I'm not nice. I'm a good person. There's a big difference.

One of the most powerful revelations for your personal and political growth is this: if you live long enough, you’ll become disabled. No one is immune to illness, injury, or aging. If you’re not committed to disability justice for altruistic reasons, commit for selfish ones. And guard your health.

I am going to need people to stop with the “we could have gotten Sanders if DC retired before the draft” It’s obvious by the fact the Saints passed on Sanders in rounds 2,3 and 4 that they didn’t want Sanders. But ok…

You get a pope who people from the 7th Ward, and your prayers get answered

Sitting on a balcony in PCB, the Gulf isn’t happy, she’s rough today, I have already spotted at least one tip tide and there are these two idiots that are clearly struggling against the waves who keep going out deeper. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Us driving to PCB for husband’s work, taken us 3 hours to get to Mobile from New Orleans because of the weather. Get a text and two phone calls about a tornado warning. Not sure if it’s here or home (internal scream). Mom calls it’s at home, she and my elderly MIL are home alone with all 3 dogs.

Some things just shouldn’t be things.

Fam, it's happening: -Pope Leo XIV (aka Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost) has roots in the 7th ward in New Orleans! -His mom had Creole roots. -"Now we know why her cooking was so good — both her mother and father were from New Orleans," Honora said. www.nola.com/news/first-a...
