thanks for sharing this! i wanna add the specific location cuz i forgot that on the original post. it will be on the Great Lawn, which is between Galvez and Prieur, Lafitte and St. Louis.

mags. @artbymags.bsky.social · 8h

i just did! i've been out all afternoon stapling up flyers for the protest all around the Greenway area where it's gonna be and then back in Midcity too. i hope we get more people than the last one in June!

mags. @artbymags.bsky.social · 13h

Yes! Spread the word!

mags. @artbymags.bsky.social · 13h

Sorry, I realized after I posted it that that flyer didn’t have the specific information on it, but I was in a hurry and I meant to come back and add that. So thank you for prompting me.

On the Great Lawn, which is between Galvez and Prieur, Lafitte and St. Louis. The place where the Greenway really widens into a large space that can accommodate several thousand people.

Do you mind sharing what their concern is about the Greenway? It definitely wouldn't have been my choice but I'm rolling with it. Seems like we make more of an impact if we're all in the same place.

mags. @artbymags.bsky.social · 1d

so i'm confused - y'all aren't joining the Indivisible NO KINGS event on the Greenway?

mags. @artbymags.bsky.social · 1d

Picked up a stack of flyers earlier for the #NoKings protest next Saturday. I’ll be flyering tomorrow afternoon in the area around the Greenway if anybody wants to come help. Just DM me.

Flyer from Indivisible NOLA for NO KINGS rally next Saturday October 18th 3:30-5:30pm on the Lafitte Greenway. Meet us at the Great Lawn between N Galvez and N Prieur. No Trump No Troops No Kings. There’s a QR code on it for more info.

I voted a little while ago, and I am so delighted to report that my polling location was hopping! I can’t remember a time in recent history when it’s been that crowded and I’ve actually had to wait in line for 10 minutes to vote! I am usually the only one there when I vote. 👏👏

Wow, the pumpkin patch at Carrollton and Zimple is such a scene today. No I’m not getting a pumpkin. I was just driving by, but I guess the fall weather today has got people in the spirit.

Well, it’s back on so at least it wasn’t as long of an outage as the other night.

What could go wrong? omg!

mags. @artbymags.bsky.social · 4d

Oh I am definitely going for the ice cream! Gotta self-soothe somehow. 😂

Midcity does seem to be having some bad luck right now. I am not amused.

Power out again in midcity.

This time we saw the transformer explode from our front porch. Sparks and all on Bienville right in front of G’s.

This is fucking ridiculous that the power is out again in basically the same area it was out the other night. This fucking town kills me.

so far i haven't run into any place that won't take it but i had the same thought, that not everyone takes discover. plus i had to spend a few hours updating various bills and subscriptions and such with the new card. pain in the ass.

mags. @artbymags.bsky.social · 5d

well that was fun, howling. or really, for me it was more screaming. it is still hard for me to scream, post brain surgery, due to damage to my vocal cords/nerves in my throat, but i did my best. and it felt great! if you didn't make it tonight, join us next month on the full moon! #howlloud #nola

BIG WIN FOR THE CITY AND STR REGULATION 🚨

Today we received a ruling in the Hignell STR litigation that began in 2019, and the Fifth Circuit made it clear: the City DOES have the authority to regulate short-term rentals. www.instagram.com/p/DPhwgoxDMXI/

same. so aggravating.

mags. @artbymags.bsky.social · 6d

Oh ok, well good. I’m sitting here in the dark with no power so didn’t wanna do any unnecessary googling. lol

mags. @artbymags.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah, I had friends who even though they live over on Palmyra decided to walk around and try to figure out what was going on and they called me from Canal Street to let me know.
