My two favorite childhood teachers work at Minneapolis' Roosevelt High. After ICE agents shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, they stormed the campus as school let out for the day. Collecting donations to purchase journals, sketchbooks, pens and pencils for these high schoolers. DM for venmo

First parade post of the season! Not sure how long I'll last with this stupid bronchitis/long covid flare thing, but I'll be in J d'A for some length of time tonight. I'm switching it up & will be with the Suffragettes this year. The throws are super cool--if you're out, find me!

Watched the Stranger Things finale so I could return to media w/out fear of spoilers. Not sure it made up for eps 5-7, but overall v. satisfying, good ending

Update: the scared doggo has accepted meds & has thunder shirt on. Calm but lounging on the bathroom floor. I have the shoes in the dryer etc for me. Gunfire added to the mix in the 7th hours ago, so expecting a long, loud midnight till whenever

There was someone #OnHere who was trying to give away a couple of hams. They are probably spoken for, but if they aren’t, and you are Hamma Claus get at me. I would love a ham for New Year.

Really loving the way the wind makes my holiday lights sway against my windows. My indoor, hung indoors, definitely not outside lights.

Please light candles, say prayers, send good vibes, etc.--my electric standing desk has stopped functioning and without it, so will I. If you are a have-to-b-eat-a-desk worker and have one, you know what I mean.

UGH. Woke up late, sat down on the sofa for a minute to cuddle a dog & fell asleep for 2 more hours, woke up with a cough, sniffles, & a brain that is mostly fog. WTF body?

Maybe too early to ask, but is anyone thinking about/planning to do caroling in Jackson Square? Thinking of doing, bc I want to feel fucking festive damn it (I know: "that's the spirit!")

Looking for recs for a litigat-y (think Morris Bart) atty to handle an employment discrimination thing in Nola. Anyone know anyone? Not for me, for a friend.

New Orleans friends…I have two tickets to today’s game (free) if you’re interested. Section 635, on the end.

I need help. I'm thisclose to getting back to MYFT-ing and UberLyft. I need $80 for my phone and $65 for my license. Thank you in advance and if I don't thank you after my phone is cut off. PayPal: @AmandaHiern Venmo: @Amanda-Hiern Cashapp: $AmandaHiern72

The New Orleans Rapid Response hotline # for ICE/CBP/HSI/DHS sightings is: 504-221-1499. Please RIGHT NOW put it into your phone's contacts so you have it if/when you need it. Link to the whistle kit zines here: drive.google.com/drive/u/2/fo...

Am I actually about to turn on my AC? This is the thing about half a double-hard to get a good cross breeze when one whole side is soild wall.

Reposting because this was a bombshell revelation and the reporter actually vetted the information to verify that the Orleans Parish clerk of the court, who's up for re-election on Saturday, lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in uncollectible forfeited bonds.

omg Belle Chasse I'm trying to work through a migraine would you stop with the loud fly overs

New Orleans, I have a cruiser bike (foot brakes) that's been in a shed for many years that I don't have the will to rehabilitate (mainly rust and an issue with the seat that replacing the seat did not fix). Does anyone want it? Either to use for parts or to restore? Before I put it on the street

We just got our letters. We're self employed, so we have to purchase our own insurance. Between loss of subsidy and increased premiums, our insurance is going from $1330/mo to $2438/mo, with increased deductibles and copays. That's 16k/yr to >29K/yr. This isn't sustainable. Who can afford this?

Is voter turnout really low? Seemed like we had good momentum with early voting. Not so much on the actual day?

Very random ask: If you happen to be an Ancestry member, a small favor, please? I need a printable version of my dad's obit & that is apparently the only source (if you've got another, that would be great too!).

I hate to ask but things are dire here for our Queen Bean. She can’t breathe and we need to get her to a vet, we’re losing her and it’s hard to watch her like this. If she’s going, she shouldn’t have to suffer like this. Please, please share, donate only if able! #MutualAid #HelpSky #DogsofBluesky

My nervous system was unprepared for this win & cannot sort out a response

Lotta sirens,.New Orleans. What's up?

RTA is free the next two Saturdays as well as Election Day

#nolatwitter #nolasky Is there a tummy thing going around? I feel like my body is revolting against this whole timeline generally: Covid, not-covid (twice), now this.

Hey #nolatwitter #nolabluesky etc.-a sort of friend is one of the actors in this & I'd like to go. Anyone want to join me? It's all past my bedtime, so I have no particular day in mind :) www.simpletix.com/e/ms-holmes-...

Hey #nolatwitter #nolablusky etc peeps-If you're doing to the Decadence parade tomorrow, I'll be dancing with the Strutters. Come say hello!

Hey, #nolasbluesky #nolatwitter etc, I know seems random af, but really it's not. What's your weather app of choice? The one I was using until about an hour ago decided to resend the alert sent 20 years ago and that was just taking things too far. Uninstalled.

I love a good thunder storm. Rescue pup is not a fan though. Thundershirt is not alleviating her concern. I wish there was more I could do for her

Hey #nolasky - Chronic illness bullshit has me home this morning, & this shouldn't be a thing, bc NOPD knows how to do crowds, but these are crazy times. If shit goes sideways and there's a bond/bail issue, I'm here.

Update: Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark have died after they were shot at their home in Brooklyn Park.

So, since there's really no longer any public health guidance, I'll put it to you, #nolabluesky. I'm supposed to be getting on a plane to NY in three weeks. Should I still be doing that?

WOW. Listening/watching council hearing. It's a wonder the whole population of the jail hasn't just wandered out. I don't know how the council folks are staying calm & in their seats & stuff.

So we're still at 7? Those guys must have a plan beyond "get out of jail." Going to the FQ was really badly thought out.

😭😭😭

So the sheriff is going to go with "very suspicious that it's happening right during the sheriff's race." Ma'am.

All right, Belle Chase. That last one was lower and louder than it really needed to be.

Hey #nolasky Are ya going to JF? If so, when? Also, did you want to go, but, like, $$? I am asking all these things for reasons, so lmk, reskeet, whatevs

And then I put my phone down so I could actually take in the experience and now I'm going back to bed with my traditional non-contagious Mardi Gras day respiratory infection. Happy Mardi Gras y'all!

Last.fligjt of the season! Irish, in front of float one. Say hey #nolasky

Babylon! Sidewalk side, near the front. Introduce ya self if ya can #nolasky

Anyone who can help Ben?

Lol went to check the outage status and...

It is a beautiful day. No rain, no snow, not even wind. Why is my internet connection so unstable I cannot work. (Or, shorter: "Why is Cox")

It really happened.

Another missing child in New Orleans. Missing since 2/10 after school in Algiers. Please share and call NOPD with any information. #nolasky #nolatwitter

URGENT! 16-year-old Deionte Darensburg is still missing and now was last seen on Feb 5th running north on 2200 block of Music street coming from N Miro Way holding his stomach which appeared to be bleeding. His Mom is worried sick! Please share!! #NOLASky #NOLATwitter

It's a lot of fly-overs today, Nola, yeah? I can't tell if I'm noticing more than usual or if they're making triggering anxiety more than usual
