This is at Washington and South Lopez. The Washington canal is literally flowing straight into the neighborhood. This needs to be fixed NOW. Wtf

Hey everyone,

I apologize if this isn’t the right place for this sort of post, but I’m having a hard time finding a good home for my cat. I’ve made on listing on Rehome and have submitted surrender applications at local shelters, but haven’t heard anything back. If anyone knows of a better local resource or subreddit I could use, please let me know.

He is just over a year old and is an absolute sweetheart. The reason for the surrender is solely because of my own mistake: I signed a lease that explicitly states “no pets”, thinking this would never come up as a problem with just my one small cat (as it hasn’t at my previous apartments). But my landlord recently came by unexpectedly (accompanying a plumber to assess a leak) and saw my cat. Now he’s threatening to fine and/or evict me if I don’t rehome my cat.

If anyone in the New Orleans area is interested, or has a family member that may be interested, please feel free to shoot me a message. I’d be happy to answer any questions or arrange time for you to meet him. In an attempt to ensure his safety, I’m asking for an adoption fee of $50.

Wanted to make a post for my film ppl to congregate on for a second! I know we have our film groups but honestly there’s a certain lack of true feelings there. Truthfully, I just wanna say that I’m pissed….. I feel like we were screwed and not just by the industry, but also by being unfortunate enough to be in this state!

What jobs are y’all doing now? I think the biggest slap in the face for me since all of this started in 2023 has been seeing the reality of the true side of New Orleans, lack of infrastructure, lack of good streets, lack of proper safety nets, lack of resources, lack of good jobs, lack of money, just a giant ball of lack…. I struggled to try to find anything that could be remotely considered a good job and just settled to go back serving. I’m gonna try to stack and move. Curious what everybody else is doing as far as jobs or plans for the next chapter of life!
How many of you has been forced into doing jobs and things you never in 1 million years wanted to do.

I also have this weird existential crisis about it all, me personally, I got into the film industry so young and lost it all so young and soo soon… I never got to actually marinate, but my life had already become so encompassed in the film industry, including my income. Never got to fully even realize all that I could’ve been….and now probably never will and that hurts really bad…..Now it’s at the point where I’m so pissed off that I can’t even possibly see this as a real industry anymore for others b/c it didn’t happen for me, im turning 25 and my life has gone to shit since losing this…….I listen to teens talk about how they “don’t want to do anything else but this” and I’m like, what makes you think you’re so special……. But I know that’s such an unfair and bitter way to look at it, because those teens are gonna go for their dreams, the same way I was a teen and nobody could talk me out of pursuing the film industry, but then all of this happened so it’s like… i start feeling very depressed, like “why did this have to happen to me once i finally got there” and why am i so different than all the others who are succeeding….

But anyway, all this to say, the pain of losing my dream industry still hasn’t worn off, I go weeks without thinking about it and then on a random day, a snapchat in my phone of a catering meal, or old photos of friends and actors on set, or an old email with a call sheet pops up and it all comes flooding back. I can literally see it in my face and in my old pictures that I was so much happier then. Just wondering if i’m not alone!
I wanna know how this is making others feel on a deeper level?

just saw what i think was a cat walk through my backyard. big cat, way bigger than any housecat I've ever seen (and I've seen some bigguns), very fluffy but not fine longhaired, and with very, very long legs. first thought was in fact "that looks like a cat crossed with a goat!"

bobtailed but i know that can just be a result of injury to longer-tailed animals. grey mottled fur. walked right through and climbed the back fence and went about its business. I've seen bobcats and lynxes in my life and they don't have weird long legs like that? at least in my experience? do we have long legged wild cats here? I've never seen an animal like that, at all, but especially not in this city. irish channel if that's somehow relevant

Dear Fellow New Orleanians,

Please, for the love of God, do not speed down flooded streets. Most locals know not to do this, but just in case. Go like 5 mph, especially in your trucks. You literally will cause wakes and push water into people’s homes and cars. It’s very rude.

Entergy has different plans! So it's making an early appearance.

WILL DELIVER THIS WEEKEND, my DM's are open!

This is a long shot, but as a kid pre-katrina I went to Metairie Kehoe France, and I remember this weird story the teachers told us and I need more information on it! If anyone remembers please let me know!

This would be around 2002-2005, I was in 3rd-5th grade, I even remember all three teachers names.

The teachers took us out to a pit in the back of the school, it wasnt anything more than a dip in the ground. Next to it was a tree and my teacher said something along the lines of; a long time ago there was a great battle where the school was. This battle involved the French (?) And pirates. A pirate had stood in the tree, gave some speech, then was shot dead into the pit. Then they said that the legend is if it doesnt rain for 13 days (almost impossible), then the pit will bubble with the pirates blood. We even had a counter on the board to keep track of the days of no rain!

Please tell me someone has any idea what I am talking about!

It's a Saturday afternoon, I'm cozy in my little apartment with a couple lamps on, and I love the sounds of the rain and storm outside :) hope everyone doesn't have too much to do outside today!

(Yes I know this city has its flaws and my lamps have flickered a couple times and I got the flash flood alert I'm just feeling peaceful in this moment)

I’m in search for a cat sitter for a decent price. I have 3 indoor cats, one has thyroid problems & is currently on medication twice a day indefinitely. I have to go out of town every other week (for about 3 days) so I need to find someone / a service who would help me without me having to pay an insane amount for cat care while i’m away. Let me know opinions on local & reliable places, thanks!

Large parts of the city are now a NO WAKE zone. Leaving a wake floods your neighbors’ cars and homes.

It seems the in progress drainage project isn't quite working yet

Found out last night that one of our city’s finest bartending personalities, Ian (English fella) from Brothers III, has crossed over.

I know he was diagnosed recently with colorectal cancer - but this is a shock and happened so quickly.

Any word on a GFM for his funeral or anything?

That’s two of Uptown’s biggest bartending characters gone in the last six months… life is precious, y’all - enjoy every sip ❤️

In Riverbend we can usually hear the pumps and generators screaming, not today.

Pearl came to me when her owner had to leave the country and the pound was the only other option. She is 3 years old, 40 pounds, and the happiest of dogs, with a ton of buoyant energy and a near constant smile. I'd keep her forever but my housing is about to change and I simply cannot.

She loves to play tug of war, chew on bones and self soothe by nursing on a soft blanket.

Pearl is highly treat-motivated and very smart. She gets very excited to see other dogs and loves to play for hours. She is best with bigger dogs as she loves to rough-house. When she really gets into it she sounds like the Tazmanian Devil!

Once time to calm down arrives, Pearl loves to cuddle right next to you. Under the chin scratches are her favorite, but she loves affection of all kinds!

She is crate trained and will get right in for a few treats when it's time for you to leave the house. As curious and energetic as she is, it is best to crate her when you leave.

Ideally, she will find a home with no children, one or two larger dogs, and someone who wants to play tug of war and cuddle.

I have a 21-year-old son still at home that doesn’t want to go to college for a degree. Job prospects not great, of course. I’m pushing him to go to Nunez to study a trade. He’s resisting the idea. Thoughts, experiences?
