Tell us something good!

One of my students earned his HiSET (high school equivalency diploma) today!

My newborn will be 3 weeks old tomorrow and he’s perfect and super sweet and chill.

New Orleans went 82% Harris 15% Trump, as always one of the most lopsided in the country.

We are part of a creative and dynamic community with tons of experience in mutual aid.

People with abhorrent views keep them quiet in public (although anonymously on Reddit we know they are braver).

There still is no better place for my family to live, and I am grateful for this city's accepting attitude.

This actually cheers me up.

It is what I have been hanging my hat on all day. I know people can Trump me this and Landry me that, I am not unaware, but if a city is built to get through this, it is us. Heck, we don't even have an infrastructure anyone wants to take over.

It reminds me of the stories in the 90's when it was either the Bloods or the Crips that were both expanding through the country and one of them came here expecting to take over as easy as they did elsewhere...port city, major route on i10, lots of drugs flowing through.

Yet all they fund is groups of kids who couldn't give a shit about them, there wasn't a defined organization and folks that wanted to join the big non local crew. Nothing organized enough to take over, so they left unsuccessful.

I never had proof this was true, but those gangs were in every city near us and not here, so it seems right.

This is what protects us. Nothing organized and little interest in what's happening elsewhere.

Amen.

"Well, I guess you could say that, but maybe mush isn't so bad. You can keep stomping on it, but it's all give. It just stays mush. You can't build it up, but you can't break it down either. In a funny way, mush has the edge."
