While researching my book Coffee Culture New Orleans, I took a coffee roasting class! We're so lucky to have a resource like Current Crop in New Orleans that sells green coffee and offers a variety of roasting, cupping, and coffee cocktail classes. Very fun! #coffee #coffeesky

I also got this new French press coffee maker for $3! French press isn't my usual coffee prep method (I'm a drip drinker), so this cheapie is perfect for the occasional cup or two.

Thrift store score of the day: a Mignon Faget New Orleans cottages rocks glass for $.99! A set of 4 is $68. I searched for more but only found this one. Very happy!

The 35% discount only applies to NEW policy holders. What. A. Scam.

Two lines of three dimensional sans-serif letters colored in gradients of blue and purple reading ‘Maybe it will/Happen today’. Above the ‘y’ in’ today’ and with its bottom point nestled neatly into the fork of the letter it’s a similarly dimensional golden pentagram with little flares of golden light glinting off its vertices. The entire lockup is superimposed over a glittering rainbow as it all streaks together through a black void.

100 years ago today a fire swept New Orleans' coffee docks
New Orleans coffee dock fire 1925 100 years ago today, on November 17, 1925, a fire swept the Port of New Orleans coffee docks on the upper end of the Girod Street Wharf. The flames, fanned by high winds, destroyed seven blocks of the docks in thirty minutes and caused over $4.5 million worth of damage. The goods destroyed included between $2.75 million and $3.5 million worth of coffee. According to The Times Picayune, “The flames licked heavenward, leaping hundreds of feet into the air, and illuminated all of New Orleans, their tremendous spread making it appear as if the entire city was in flames. Streets leading towards the river became congested with thousands of automobiles. So dense was the crowd of spectators at the fire that their automobiles lined the streets leading to the docks as far back as Tchoupitoulas Street from Canal and as far uptown as Julia.” In the end, the fire turned out to be a blessing in disguise: the city's coffee import system was updated with modern (for the time) technology, allowing the city to be more on par with New York's coffee import system. A new coffee shed was dedicated 3 years later in October 1928, boasting two stories of fireproof steel and concrete and a price tag of $2 million. I write about the coffee dock fire and MUCH MUCH more in my forthcoming book, Coffee Culture New Orleans, out next summer! ☕️ 100 years ago today, on November 17, 1925, a fire swept the Port of New Orleans coffee docks on the upper end of the Girod Street Wharf.

I don't have Amzn Prime because I really try not to feed the Bzos machine, but I just ordered 3 skirts to get free shipping, and in my own way, I think of this as a boycott and gaming the system. 🫠 Just let me handle it!

"He liked 15 year olds who looked younger than 15, but he wasn't a pedophile." is a WILD statement.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.
Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.
