If you’re in New Orleans, please avoid Frenchmen Art & Books. They are new owners who called the police on a brass band playing outside which turned into 10-15 officers showing up and one musician being detained.
MAKE NEW ORLEANS BLACK AGAIN
Meanwhile, Cersei and Euron Greyjoy were in bed all morning, did the Sunday NYT crossword, spent the day at IKEA looking for the right bookshelf, and binge watched Billions.
My therapist told me yesterday: some people (esp family) will choose to remember & recognize only the version of you that they held the most power over, no matter how long it’s been or how much you’ve changed.
And I cannot stop thinking about it.
YALL.

tweeted a photo of himself with A STOCK PHOTO OF MARDI GRAS BEADS PHOTOSHOPPED ONTO HIS NECK. My eyes and google skills are undefeated!!!!
Don’t go to Lula Restaurant. They’re on some big racist energy. We were on the patio, saw a high school graduation party walk in at about 6:15pm. The graduate was a beautiful young black girl. She was wearing a halter top, pants, and her cap & stole.
I have seen entire exposed sex organs on white women wearing mini dresses there w no panties. I have seen breasts. I HAVE SEEN HALTER TOPS ON WHITE WOMEN. But, I’ve never seen two squad cars outside for them. Never again. Peace out, Lula!
Please note how quickly & easily Drew Brees gave that interview and said “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country.” All the things in the world to say & that’s what he chose. Bet.
THE OWNER OF LULA CALLED THE COPS ON A TEENAGER BECAUSE SHE FELT SHE WASN’T DRESSED APPROPRIATELY. Now they had been in the restaurant for at least two hours before this happened. What was the issue?!?!?
*walking up St. Charles to go to Walgreens*
Tourist: when does the parade start, surprised the street is open
Me: umm next week
T: are you sure
Me:
T: can you tell us where to find a parade tonight, preferably in walking distance
Me: there are none
T: no worries, we’ll Google it
"Can you move behind the column, I want to take a picture of the house" -shouted at me from the sidewalk
"I come with the house, learn to photoshop" -my response
Please stop visiting New Orleans and thinking that the people who live here owe you anything.
JPSO will find a way to make this not peaceful. Just like they denied people trying to cross the bridge that way to escape Katrina. We haven’t forgotten.
So according to you, she should’ve cancelled MG (even though there was no info to support that at the time) but you rode in the parade that draws one of the largest crowds. Where was your captain? Some people don’t know how to take responsibility for their own actions.
@NOLAnews
Some folks don’t know how to take responsibly for their own actions. Shutting down flights from China early on was pretty decisive action by the Government. I bet she blamed the IRS and government for her not paying her taxes. In today’s world “it’s always someone else’s fault”
Be kind to anyone from New Orleans today. We’re all thinking about, if only for a brief moment, where we were, who and what we lost, and how it changed everything. The knot in the stomach & the tightness in the chest never really goes away🩶
I yelled “put a mask on or get out of my city” to a group of 8 older people who were passing Walgreens when I was turning in to go to the drive thru. One of them said, “masks are a hoax” so that’s who’s being invited here while we’re told to stay inside.
My biopsy results came back negative!!!!!!!!! Currently wiping all the happy tears from my face. A GIANT thanks to everyone who sent me prayers, good vibes, checked in, and held me up while I was worried. I love y’all💕✨
There won’t be public schools left and the kids are going to be too hungry to even learn how to read. Between this and the anthem stuff, what a truly embarrassing time for Louisiana.
There is something that I really REALLY want and I find out on Friday if I got it and if you have any spare ✨✨✨ lying around, I would love if you could send it my way!
Everyone was having a great time, we saw the young lady come outside with her friends to take photos. We were congratulating her & asked where she was going to college and she told us. Just amazing, wonderful, joyous energy.
A man in the ATL airport told me I was “brave to wear that [my Saints shirt] here.” I asked him “has Atlanta made knowing the Heimlich a requirement yet since y’all are so prone to choking?”
He turned red and left.

Three rules for driving in New Orleans that will keep you from getting smushed:
-Look both ways, even at one way streets
-Slow down at intersections, even if you don’t have the stop sign
-Wait a couple seconds before going when the light turns green
For all my outside of NO/LA ppl, DO NOT DONATE to the Red Cross. We handle things within the family to make sure the money actually gets to where it’s needed. Follow
@ineedja_kadeeja
& give there. I’ll add to this as I see other legit resources, pls QT if you have others.
LSU, if NASCAR can ban the confederate flag at events, so can you. Especially at tailgates before football games. Start with the group that has the giant version in purple and yellow.
If you don’t live in New Orleans, please stay away for Mardi Gras. Go flash someone in your town square or pee on your own street.*
* denotes y’all are the only ones who do that shit. Leave us be.
I will say about Kanye- when he lost his mom, he lost himself. She was his hard no that every creative needs. His wife should have filled that role but he married the antithesis of that. He’s gone. That’s it.
We saw two cop cars pull up with lights on and the officers came out & the owner of Lula came outside and was talking to the officer. One of the adults was talking to the other officer. The rest of the family came out. They were videoing.
I’m very happy to see New Orleans leading in vaccinations but still so confused on why service industry folks weren’t (and technically still aren’t) prioritized since there’s been no issue reopening places/increasing capacity that forces them into work.
I’ve been wearing Andrew’s wedding ring on my left thumb since he had to take it off at the hospital. His hand pain hasn’t been too bad so I put it back on him today while we watched our wedding video. My heart is full.
If everyone worked at least one job in
-Food/beverage service industry
-Retail
-Customer service call center
a lot of people would have less to say about what people should be paid for those jobs. I have worked all three, ask me anything!
I... whew. Andrew was able to hold a pen & write this. When he gave it to me yesterday, I sobbed. Today is 4 months since we went to the emergency room and I am just, words fail me. Whew.
I can never not acknowledge that 9 years ago tonight, I was unsuccessful in taking my own life. I know how unbearable this time of year can be & if it’s any comfort to anyone, you matter. You absolutely matter. 💕
Y’all want to see something wild???
P.s. If the person who sent this sees this tweet, I will be sure to give… myself a stern talking to & if I don’t listen, I’ll have a meeting w the board (me) to remove me😘
