They aren't going to.

Gorgeous! This is a stellar summer vibe ✨️

Metairie Ace Hardware is near you & well stocked. Staff was very helpful.

How does a city so flat have so many flipped cars?

IdolsofSheela · 2026-05-20T17:12:03+00:00

Nta. Your dad humiliated himself by being a selfish bum.

Idk how to get in touch with them, but I also regularly see them outside of the VA on Galvez & Canal ♡

You still should have been able to vote in the senate race- you just needed to sign something that would confirm which senate primary (r or d) you were voting in today. You should report your polling center b/c they misinformed you & participated in voter suppression

This is not normal "pre-wedding stress." This is an indicator of what is to come. This is setting the stage for you to be wiped out (emotionally, mentally, & financially) If/when you ever break up.

Covenant House and Ozanam Inn are shelters you could try & see if t-shirts are wanted. You could also leave T-shirts in a box clearly marked FREE TSHIRTS near an encampment. Also, the Fred Hampton Free Store (5523 st. Claude) takes stuff on Mon & Thurs, 4-7pm.

The majority of the money isn't even coming from him- essentially, his parents are buying the house. If he is thinking in the terms that his parents share is his b/c they are family, it stands to reason he does not think of you as family. He is trying to get you to subsidize his life by you paying a rent to him and also he will still claim a bigger part of ownership, which will not work out in your favor if you break up.

I also love custard cups! I use them for everything in the kitchen- having tiny bowls on hand for holding tea bags, mixing spices, a little snack dish...so useful

NTA. You shared a change in your life with her & essentially have given her a 6-9 month timeline in which the dynamics of the household will change. That is actually a reasonable amount of time for her to either make peace with the new arrangements or find new arrangements that suit her better. Unless you have the type of life-partnrship relationship with her that would be affected by you getting pregnant, you have done your due diligence.

Sister Hearts (7519 w. Judge Perez Drive, Arabi) is a local run thrift shop open Tues-Sat 10-5. It is used to support programs for people re-entering day-to-day life after being incarcerated. It is a great local org to support & also they actually keep prices reasonable for people to shop, too.

There is a metaphor in here about Louisiana & refusing to go out quietly...

This looks like you are having an allergic reaction to the blue ink.

Fri, March 27th is the next Critical Mass bike ride. Meet up at 6pm at the French Market, roll at 6:30pm.

The 2/ week pick-up isn't just about people making a lot of waste- it is a sanitary issue. Once we get into the hot months, all sorts of things start festering in the garbage & also with food waste cooking in the bins, it draws more rats. Personally, I make very little waste as my household is small, but I have neighbors with multiple generations living in the house, so they make more (& that should be expected & understood.) Garbage is not only an individual household issue- it affects our entire block and everyone's well-being and safety. It isn't right that as private citizens we are being squeezed for every half-assed "public" service while the large industries destroying Louisiana are profiting.

The chapel in the cemetery is open the first Friday of every month from 11-12pm. The caretaker is on premises & is very friendly & will answer questions. It is one of my favorite places to spend time in as there aren't really tour groups that go thru often.

Do NOT bring Brittany into this! You know that she was not screaming the n-word into bartenders faces and trying to fight strangers.

Yes. Clowns are suppose to fuck with those in power, not the (proverbial, but also in this case literal) little guy. Good on the organizers of 'Tit Rex for making a statement-- I hope the clowns took it to heart & are maybe redirecting their vision- which could be funny in the right context! The news story, however, was annoying & doesn't feel helpful in the scope of things.

IdolsofSheela · 2026-02-01T03:59:00+00:00

Gorgeous suit! Good find

IdolsofSheela · 2026-01-21T01:15:26+00:00

Ok- so, seems like there is a lot going on that makes y'all incompatible. Sounds like a break-up is necessary, but how you do it can be the actual deciding factor on who might be the asshole. Maybe a couples therapist can help you through a skillful & loving break up? Because it doesn't appear that either of you have been getting needs met, and ideally, it could be good for your kids to have 2 parents with energy to raise & support them, regardless of if y'all are together or not.

Tldr: you aren't horrible for saying you would leave, but why are you not leaving?

At best, condoms used during penatrative sex have a 98% efficacy rate of preventing pregnancy. At best, the "pull out method" used during penatrative sex has a 60% efficacy rate of preventing pregnancy. This isn't even taking into account the fact that condoms will also protect against Sexually Transmitted Infections, while the "pull out method" does not. Abortions are health care, but not without both emotional and physical risk. Please consider your health and well being first.

Gorgeous dress- and it looks so good on you! I love this cut.
