Those are modern B movies. The best way to watch them is after taking an edible. 😁

Reminder: If Esperanza School on S. Carrollton was your polling place — you now vote at Thurgood Marshall School on Canal.

(The Esperanza/Crossman campus closed in June)

This reminds me of the time Richard Marx told me he wasn't telling who killed Mary in his song Hazard.

My version of old school was flying from New Orleans to New Jersey and back with someone else's ticket in 1995. My ID was never checked New Orleans or Newark. 😭

The kids don't know about that AOL chat room life.

I can't believe Derrick Groves didn't leave to a non extradition country.

Lasting friendships and mutual aid that's helped me survive.

At least they're ending food deserts. I mean the Tulane store is in my old neighborhood. We used to shop at Ideal which is a great store. But it's if you cook every night. TJ's has all my vegan/vegetarian stuff.

Amanda Soprano @amandasoprano.bsky.social · 4d

That location has so much room. It's not claustrophobic like Metairie.

They got their logistics together. I went the first week. One of the workers told me they completely underestimated the response.

Update: the Trader Joe's on Tulane was well stocked today. I was surprised bc it's so soon after the weekend. There was only one thing I wanted they didn't have (pineapple salsa). No biggie.

Kelly also told me the National Guard presence has had zero impact on crime. In other news, water is wet.

I loathe talking on the phone. I rarely do it. But when my dear friend calls me from Portland after she's just closed the bar, I'll answer. So I've been up since 5am.😭

Never had humanity, dignity and compassion. And if you think it did, you're white.

I just figured Facebook and Twitter stole it years ago. Like over a decade. The good thing about abject poverty is I'm low on the list of targets. 😭

Power out on Black Pearl. So annoying.

Someone going to unalive him over this. The CIA or the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia are my first bets.
