Drew Brees will forever be my quarterback. But he’s gotta give up this commentary career. Good lord.

I’m devastated. Suddenly lost my best friend on Monday. Edith was my everything. She was my security blanket during my lowest moments. She was my cheerleader at my highest. Hug your furry family members tightly.

And reply with photos of them! Could really use some cheering up.

On a scale of “Do Whatcha Wanna” to “I will treat you exactly how I treat sinners who eat king cake outside of carnival season,” where does grabbing beignets at Cafe Beignet fall?

Because I really want beignets, but don’t have enough time to make it to Cafe du Monde.

It is taking every fiber of my existence not to spend $20 of my hard earned income to invest in this beautiful art piece.

Legit didn’t until I saw @rudekaty.bsky.social reply this morning. But every time I look at the photo, I discover something new.

Like this guy whose head looks either like a well lit car sticker or a flying head.

Explaining New Orleans lore to a Philly girl I’ve been seeing might be my favorite cupcake stage ever.

Sends link about escaped monkeys.
Asks if this happens often here.
Tell her about Scrim.
And that I just got a book about him written by a popular meteorologist.

The lore in this city 👨‍🍳😘

New Orleans made it into my Spanish lessons. We made it, folks.

Y’all go support my guy Marco Polo out in Arabi.

This isn’t a request. It’s a demand. I need him to succeed.

Not that I’m not excited for this. But does No Limit have enough hits to compete with Cash Money? More importantly, who is even available at this point from No Limit?
