🕯️New Orleans🕯️

@oddverse

A state of sweet magnolias And creole melodies Oh give me Louisiana, The state where I was born Oh what sweet old memories The mossy old oaks bring It brings us the story of our Evangeline A state of old tradition, Of old plantation days Makes good old Louisiana The sweetest of all states. Give me Louisiana, A state prepared to share That good old southern custom, Hospitality so rare; A state of fruit and flowers, Of sunshine and spring showers Oh give me Louisiana, The state where I was born Its woodlands, Its marshes Where humble trappers live Its rivers, Its valleys, A place to always give A state where work is pleasure, With blessings in full measure Makes good old Louisiana The dearest of all states. Give me Louisiana, Where love birds always sing In shady lanes or pastures, The cowbells softly ring; The softness of the sunset Brings peace and blissful rest Oh give me Louisiana, The state where I was born The smell of sweet clover Which blossoms everywhere The fresh new mown hay Where children romp and play A state of love and laughter, A state for all here after Makes good old Louisiana The grandest of all states.

My heart is broken for my city of New Orleans. For all its problems on a city-level and state level, I do love this city. I never thought terrorism would hit my smaller city and I'm frankly in shock. My heart aches for the families who are affected by this tragedy.

I spent the morning of New Year's Day preemptively telling loved ones that my partner and I are safe. (I worked that evening and he was home safe) gutted knowing many family members affected by this weren't receiving texts like this. The previous year we were on Bourbon showing our out of town friends a good time. The Sugar Bowl draws a massive crowd, Bourbon was the craziest I had seen it that year.

New Orleans is everything to me. It's got a reputation for being boozy, but there is so much more than that to be found here. It's emphasis on welcoming everyone and encouraging others to have a good time with one another, enjoying the riches of life including spending those moments with people you love, means so much to me. I've been a server for years and have served people all over the world and you can feel the love for the city and what we provide from everyone. This is truly a place of connection and resilience.

Please keep the city and the families in your hearts.

What is absolutely disgusting is I've seen more media coverage about Luigi Mangione than about the Actual Fucking Terrorist that killed 10 people in New Orleans. The 10 that died and the dozens that were injured don't matter as much as a single CEO.

Just seeing the news about New Orleans and my whole body is cold- it's always painful to see a tragedy but so close to home? My heart aches like never before, those same roads, the signs and windows I've walked past... New Orleans is not perfect, it never will be, but those people lost were closer to me than anyone I can ever know up here or anywhere else. "Heart break" can not describe it...

#say a prayer for them and their families#christian muslim jew nonbeliever it doesn't matter to me- just keep them in your heart for me
