Thoughts that New Orleans will lead you to:
What shade of pink should I paint the rolling bar cart for the upcoming semi-gothic flamingo-themed funeral?

I wonder if I can use the Fairlife Core Power Protein shakes to make Bourbon Milk Punches.

Sidewalk side. Bands only. Leave the knife in the box.

Crescent City Fae is marching with Freret today. My daughter tells me they will be throwing signature hand-decorated faerie lanterns, pan flutes, and wands. Find them between floats 14 and 15!

Woke up with an anxiety attack already in progress. I’m getting better at managing these during the day but come on

This is literally my approach to “these times”

How lucky are we that, for several days in the next two weeks, we get to stand among soon-to-be-friends, and float-by-float, be focused solely on catching shit glued to other shit.
@latitude29nola.bsky.social Because at the end of the route, we're all just throwing shit glued to other shit to drunk people at a parade. 💜💚💛

Krewe du Vieux was so much fun! I have not been that cold in a long time but it was worth it. Shout out to all of the #nolasky KdV peeps for putting on a great show in freezing temps 💜💛💚

KDV tonight, Krewe of the Mystic Inane is #10! Shout "Melissa" real loud and I'll give you something good (disgusting)! 🩸🩸🩸

I know it's cold but the floats this year are fantastic, YOU need some catharsis, and the parade is short so like 45 minutes max and you can just go hide in a warm bar

I so miss not physically being able to go to KDV parade.
Yes it's cold but if MN residents can be out in -5 we can do a parade.
Go have some fun, these Krewes have put a lot into this so show some love. And please take some pictures so I can live vicariously through y'all.

HAPPY KDV DAY.💜💛💚

I have toe warmers so I’m all set for tonight #kreweduvieux

Looks like the wind will stop in time for Krewe du Vieux. So, freezing cold but maybe the “feels like” temp won’t be in the teens?

“A brass band saved my life last night.”
brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

If you’re thinking of staying home from parades because it’s too cold or it doesn’t seem right to celebrate, I implore you, on behalf of those of us who cannot be there & for whom it will be “just another Tuesday,” to get your funky asses out there & shake ‘em every chance you get. Joy is resistance

I was in bed half the day yesterday, recovering from Chewbacchus and now I want to stay in bed all day because my house is freezing 🥶

If you follow Alt National Park Service, do yourself a favor and unfollow. Better yet, block.
I just want to say that 1) AltWatcher is doing the lord's work and 2) the altnps account, in my opinion, needs to be outright banned - and I don't say that merely because I loathe it, but because it's unbelievably unhealthy for this fake, plagiarizing, qanon-lite account to have this influence.
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.

They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.
