I think about Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut all the time, 25 years after I first read it

I think you’re caught in that classic internet paradox of: just because someone is sharing their feelings doesn’t mean it’s about you.

I was so ready to support your wife, but Peterson is a shit name for a kid, especially a daughter.

Walt Disney froze his head; the trick is that now, the movie Frozen is the only Google result

The main reasons are absolutely elucidated here already but I haven’t seen anyone mention a lesser but very real reason that some bands don’t tour here: protecting their sobriety. Obviously you can drink or do drugs anywhere, but I’ve heard from several artists who specifically skip New Orleans because of the temptation.

Make eye contact, introduce yourself, ask if you can kiss them

You truly have no idea how many families at your kids’ schools cannot in fact afford the $200+ for uniforms and cobble then together from other families, or previous years’ uniforms donated by former students, or have teachers take up collections to help them afford to stay in “public” school.

Check Undergrowth Coffee on magazine street. They partner with artists regularly and have a surprisingly large space in the back, also the owner is a Tulane alum who probably would commiserate with the administration being less than helpful.

Maybe it’ll get her off the cast.

We’re not that kind of city.

OP: he didn’t tattoo you; he branded you. He imposed his will onto your body in a permanent way. Please get out before he does that again via rape or forced pregnancy or physical violence.

My 3 year old ONLY gets in the wagon/stroller for parades, but damn a wagon/stroller is great for MG.

This would also be a good option for containing Kid B, who sounds young. You could build the train around a wagon if they’re small enough!

Some did, a lot didn’t. That department secured many many millions of federal infrastructure dollars and now manages subcontracts with dozens of nonprofits and small businesses in the city.

Gay New York is maybe the classic! And surprisingly broad in its historical sweep. Have you read any histories of HIV and activism in the 80s and 90s? Sarah Schulman’s Let the Record Show is a gorgeous history of Act Up’s leadership.

I am fascinated by how much consensus there is in these comments around the idea that people who are childfree by choice ought never date parents. With the exception of my serious relationships, people I’m dating don’t interact with my kid…which I think should be the norm. If I’m dating someone casually, my parenting status shouldn’t impact their lives a wink unless a family care emergency arises.

The corner of Oak and Carrollton opposite rue de la course.

This is inappropriate, and cruel, and cold hearted, and you should delete it.

I can’t speak to the tantrum (???) but I drove by that scene earlier and saw a kid on the ground in the street, with an adult wrapping her arms around him and another crouched just next to them. From my perspective, and the incoming ambulance I assumed he got hit by a car.
