In regard to my absence... I didn't expect to be gone this long & I only temporarily returned for the Katrina Anniversary. 1/

For the first ten years this was my thought. However, I've concluded we did learn. Some learned to survive. Many learned what those in power truly cared about. Those in power learned just what the fuck the could get away with.

I interviewed a lot of people in New Orleans post-Katrina. This one stuck with me. "These politicians look at us like it's property. It's not. It's our lives" scoutneworleans.blogspot.com/2006/03/its-...

I was thinking some of what New Orleans experienced at the time was practice for what some oligarchs wanted to do to the country as a whole. Recent events have reinforced this idea for me. 5/?

A few of you may have heard something about the interlocking set of disasters we in New Orleans experienced starting just over 20 years ago. The most famous was a hurricane, Katrina, which got lots of news coverage for a short amount of time. Much worse was what we call the Federal Flood 1/?

Last year I was asked to write something for the 20th anniversary of Katrina. I struggled and procrastinated and almost didn't do it. What I produced, frankly, wasn't very good. All I could do was restate arguments I'd been making to brick walls for years. Here's some of that.

I still feel like this often. But I also feel like we spent 20 years writing and talking and organizing around explaining these things that happened to us. And it made absolutely zero difference. Also no one remembers or understands it now.

I haven't done an update on my breast cancer since December. A LOT has transpired since then. I could just do one long thread to bring things up to speed, but tbh I don't think I'm currently capable of that. 1/

I'm still recovering from the last cancer treatment. I'm generally exhausted & having issues focusing. It will probably be a minute before I'm truly back. So, it will take me awhile to follow folks back & most of my posts will be political memes, cancer updates along w/asks for cash etc.

Now that I'm starting to feel more like myself, here's the long awaited cancer update part one. I can't believe that it has been a month since the surgery. Even tho it seems everything has moved at a snail's pace so much of it is a blur that seemingly happened in a blink of an eye. 1/

Hey, I know I have several new followers. It's going to take me a minute to follow back I'm dealing with a health issue atm. FYI I do not do FBR or Blue Wave FB. Unless I know you IRL I'm not FB empty profiles (no posts, little to no bio). I'm seriously considering blocking these types of accounts

Nothing will happen with Hegseth. The Admiral? He'll probably get dinged, maybe court martialed- lose some rank, some medals ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌ The person who will see serious Leavenworth time? That will be the poor Lance Corporal or whatever rank who launched the missile.

Hey, if I failed to respond to or even like a reply please don't take it personally. It just means I missed it or forgot about it. I'm not sleeping well due to discomfort from my surgery, combine that with just trying to heal, & an incredible amount of financial stress & it's hard to focus. Thanks

I had my breast cancer surgery on 11/12 & I'm currently recovering well. However, I'm still short $260 from my original goal (and will probably need more assistance) which is making things difficult. I know it's hard for everyone right now. Even a small amount or a RT helps. Thank you ❤️

I had my breast cancer surgery on Wednesday. My team was awesome & things went better than expected. I'm doing great. The surgical bra is the worst part so far. I'm still dealing with a lot of brain fog so, I haven't been posting. Many thoughts, not enough words. Thank you to everyone❤️

I had to postpone my surgery for breast cancer due to not having enough funds to get me through my recovery. It's scheduled for this week & I am still short $260. I was also going to receive SNAP this month, so it's now even more challenging. If you can help thank you❤️

My breast cancer surgery is scheduled for this week & I have a ton of things I need to do before hand. I feel woefully unprepared & things being so chaotic does not help. I have no idea how active I will be on SM over the next 2 wks or so. I will probably be slow to reply or follow back.
