Myra Faye Turner @myrafayeturner.bsky.social · 6h

If I say I'm ignoring you, don't fucking keep talking to me.

Now, catch this block.

Myra Faye Turner @myrafayeturner.bsky.social · 6h

She's horrible. I never heard of her until that day. They tore her ass up in the comments so I just blocked and kept it moving. But I was hot because the person she was harrassing & cussing out is young, like maybe 20.

the hootin' and hollerin' part is annoying, not the investigating part

Yup, Donnell is annoying as hell!

Wait, the card dealer dude is kind of cute. I guess I haven't really been paying attention to the casino scenes.

Almost a year in and folks are still twisting themselves into pretzels, blaming "messaging" and whatnot, istead of placing the blame where it belongs.

if you interrupt me to the point i lose my train of thought, i end the conversation

Ashley C. Ford @smashfizzle.bsky.social · 9h

I know it’s not technically polite, but I love having a conversation with other people who are comfortable with short interjecting interruptions. To me it makes the conversation feel more like something we’re weaving together rather than alternating individual presentations. It feels more alive.

New Orleans, for sure. Not sure if they say it in other parts of the state.
