Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I sobbed when the top of the mountain became a demon during Night on Bald Mountain. I think I was 4? And it was showing at the Old Toulouse Theater! 100

Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I have been informed it is still Wednesday. Clearly I am having a morning. 170
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I think I had ones that were hand me downs? maybe? and they were too big. I think I was size 5 when I had them and they were maybe a 7. But I really wanted the cool shoe 010
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 23/09/2026oh dear. I knew it was Wednesday like an hour ago. Clearly need more rest. 120
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I can hear those shoes. Also ouch... so many toe blisters 110
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Nothing like a random Thursday morning freakout because I convinced myself I forgot to pay an insurance premium. 120
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 22/09/2026That is amazing. When Dad was in a facility at the end (at the worst of Covid), one the admins was friends with bro2 from way back in the day. And she arranged that Mom could go in and hold Dad's hand on their 60th anniversary. And there was even cake. 140
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 22/09/2026since @rudekaty.bsky.social asked... JMJ was 1903-1963. His grandad was 1833-1896 and the in-between generation is Hamilton Polk Jones, 1873-1926, who was also an MD and was in charge of the YF hospital in 1905. 110
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I think he was a bacteriologist at heart bit those didn't really exist then. MDs in the 19th century dabbled in a little bit of everything, pharmacy, chemistry, whatever. His articles make me think he was a scientist at heart and humans were just his laboratory. 010
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I was convinced I wouldn't make it to 19 so everything else is gravy. Also based on the women in my family... I have to plan to live to 90+ 130

Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I just went through TP articles from March 1963 and no where does it say arson. So maybe that's just suspicion. JMJ actually survived the fire but died at the hospital a couple of hours later. 210
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 22/09/2026He and his wife died in a house fire that year which was considered arson at the time. So from a slave owning grandfather to a grandson who actually died because of civil rights. That's some craziness. 120
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 22/09/2026AND then I find out that his grandson Joseph Merrick Jones who was an attorney and worked for the State Department during WWII and was a the president of the Board of Admin for Tulane University. In 1963, he announced that Tulane would admit black students. 110
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 22/09/2026He was the first leader of the Louisiana State Board of Health which was trying to enforce quarantine laws particularly as they pertained to the Port of NO. And he did A LOT of research around the various pandemics that hit NO in the late 19th century. He's an interesting and complicated figure. 110
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 22/09/2026doing some random historical medical research... Joseph Jones (1833-1896) was an MD who studied pandemics in New Orleans in the 19th century. He was also raised on a slave holding plantation in Georgia and was a confederate surgeon. He did studies about gangrene at the Andersonville Prison 130
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Casey,his dad, was always disappointed that he went by Mo not Maurice as he was named. 010
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 28/08/2026So very very terrible. Hugs and love. It's just a tragedy all around 010

A true master of Bless Your Heart. What a gift she was. 041

Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 27/07/2026She was just casually cruel. But made me realize I never want to be a mean girl 010
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I was a sophomore and a senior mean girl left a letter to her bf in a classroom. I posted it on the door and underlined the sexy bits. But then her friends saw it and said she's going to die and left it. Then I felt bad. She saw it, ripped it down and ran away crying. No one knew it was me. 110
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 27/07/2026lamps? I would go to 2nd hand shops and/or estate sales. The chairs from some of the discount online shops... feel like they are discounted so you may do better shopping in person to see if your butt likes that chair. 010
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 04/07/2026There are zero photos because I was too grossed out. It was all in a corner of my window that I'm too short to really see. 000

Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 25/06/2026There was also a guy I dated in a different dream but I realized it was too short to be him and it was all very wtf 100
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I just remembered the dream that woke me up in the wee hours. I went in to pay a bill... for something and was writing a check when I learned that the bill was 5 times more than I thought. So I was panicking and trying to figure out how to pay when I woke up. Yay generalized anxiety 100
Jen L @blathering.bsky.social · 09/06/2026So so much smoking. And I forgot all the bad agents names...liddy and haldeman et al. Anyway y'all should rewatch 100
