Happy Mardi Gras, everybody. Happy New Year. Happy Ramadan. The people in this photo think this city belongs to them. It does not. It belongs to you. Take care of it this year. Reach out to your neighbors. Show them some love. These are rough times. We need to stick together. #RexComus

Errol: The Comus doubloons are rare and very collectable because who do you ask to get one? Well Errol, I'm pretty sure there's a bowl of them at the next Klan meeting. #rexcomus

Context for #rexcomus. It's basically the ceremonial end of Carnival season in New Orleans. Bunch of rich people LARPing a royal masquerade ball or two that gets televised on PBS.

Apparently at a reception only those wearing giant heads are allowed to dance. #RexComus

Arthur: They never reveal the identity of Comus. Even past history one's. Pretty sure they are in the #epstein files. #rexcomus

Ah, my 14 year old has finally seen the majesty of the dancing heads and the terrifying mask of Comus. I have inducted them into properly into the cult. #RexComus

"Dear King of Carnival, Would you and your very young Queen like to come across the street to our not-ball? Our organization is much less inclusive than yours has (sadly) become. Our dark rituals are almost done. Leave the "inclusive" people at home. XOXO, Comus (a god)." #RexComus

It's a more "inclusive" celebration = We let in the slightly poorer and a few blacks. #RexComus

Watching #RexComus with my mama and I’m about to introduce her to the bingo card. Exasperated “Rachel” incoming to be followed by me reenacting the duck meme.
Goose meme with goose face in the first panel asking “why did comus stop parading” second panel is the goose chasing someone who is running away from them saying tell them why Comus stopped parading Peggy

Errol had to quickly explain why there were so many black folk in line and it got a surprising "Ohhh" out of Peggy. "oh they're event planners for the Illinois club. 'Ohhhhhhhhh" 🤣🤣🤣 #rexcomus

The first of many dark rituals has begun. The making of the homages. The blood sacrament does not happen until they get to the Comus ball #RexComus

The teen is upset that the women are all majoring in easy majors. They want to know why they aren't challenging their minds. #RexComus

The way the economy is trending, in a few years, your best bet for acquiring household goods will be to try and catch them from a parade #RexComus

I hope #RexComus got Bad Bunny to play during intermission. We missed out on Chambea during the Super Bowl.

Introducing my teen to #RexComus. They asked "How does one get to become king or queen? Do they have to be born into a very special family?" Yes, baby, yes they do.
