I've never questioned the fact that I'm a feminist - Mona Lisa smile was legitimately life changing for how I saw my version of it - but sometimes .... I see things like these gendered work ads from New Orleans and it stops me in my tracks. #nolasky

I don't know why I keep doing this .... Yes. White people can be Creole. No, Creole and Cajun are not racial designations. Yes, they're both ethnicities. Yes, they're both cultural. Yes, I'll probably fight with someone else before the day is over. Fuck the legacy of Jim Crow.

I came to the realization today that not everyone knows the US has had a president whose first language wasn't english but whose family had been in the US 200 years when he became President. Van Buren.

Columbus. He was never supposed to be given a day. Italian Americans were given a day because of the mass lynching of Sicilians in New Orleans. They were given a day because it was a major diplomatic crisis b/w the US and Italy. 3 of the 11 killed were Italians. All were of Italian descent.

Once upon a time there was a woman, Sylvia Landry from Baton Rouge, Louisiana who started a prostitution racket that also worked in DC. Officially, she committed suicide. Yeah, this is totally not about Epstein. bayoujustice.com/2024/01/bato...

Hey, #Louisiana - there are lots of really famous people who fucking love New Orleans. How do we convince one/some of them to buy and start wearing nutria hair garments to help with the problem? I get mink is a bad idea for obvious reasons but Nutria is definitely not the same thing.

Thought I might share a life story from a few months ago to brighten your day. Back in March, I spotted a raccoon on the side of the interstate that had very clearly been run over. I pulled over thinking I’d have to put it out of its misery. We ended up becoming good friends.

You know you're almost home when you start seeing highway signs with seafood on them & exit signs for rouses. Just visiting but I'll never get this place out of my bones. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever stop feeling like an expat and I didn't even leave the US. Bienvenue en Louisiane.
