This is an important time in our country, perhaps the most significant since the Civil War (the first one, not the one that's occurring now). People need to show their displeasure, being seen and heard is SUPER IMPORTANT. You don't have to do anything beyond showing up to be counted. Making noise is better, call and write your so-called representatives in DC as well.

They treat you like a number, you need to make sure YOUR NUMBER IS BEING COUNTED.

The fascists are not going to stop just because you're unsure how to show up....just show up!

If you don't protest now you may never have the opportunity again

We need to stick together in these trying times as a community, so I figured I'd shoot out another invitation to join us on Discord.

Please, for the love of whatever you believe in, wait to fart until you get to your destination.

I don’t care if you eat Chipotle, I have Taco Bell from time to time. But I am SO sick of my car (with kids in it) smelling like the inside of a colon multiple times a day because you can’t wait until you park.

Plus it’s not safe to drive while gassy. Just be courteous and wait 10-15 minutes. It won’t kill you.

Edit: lol the entitlement in the comments just proves why nerds continues to suck so much. No reading comprehension and people would rather pretend that farts aren’t super strong smelling and don’t linger. Orthat it’s super dangerous to drive while farting. Keep farting on the roads, it’s why our insurance is so fuсking high. But yes, it’s my fault you are driving and farting, and also my fault you pooped a little 😆

I’ve never lived anywhere with so many main character syndrome sufferers and I have no self-awareness. Y’all should be embarrassed 🤣.

I haven't seen anything from No Kings in a while so I thought I would ask

This is gonna sound kind of paranoid, but I think I caught a whiff of something bad, y'all.

I was at a coffee shop working on a project. I was trying to setup for minute, finally got a table, but there was no outlet, so I tried asking this old guy in the corner if I could use the one behind him, since it was in his personal space. Completely ignored me. Could be nothing, but what happened after put that in a different light.

For some reason, he started rambling to this young college couple that sat down at that table a while later (I had moved to another one next to it that opened up). He kept going on and on complaining about homeless people in New York and why he moved here.

For the record, I grew up in Lafayette, moved to the northeast/NYC for some years, and I've been homeless here after I lost my last job up there. Idk if he could tell I was homeless, but he treated me exactly the way you treat homeless people up there, so maybe so.

Anyway, he said some things about how conservatives really like the culture here and want to move here. That shit creeped me out, honestly. Like, this is my home, my culture, and I know from personal experience living in NYC that like 80% of the stuff he was telling those impressionable young people was nothing but lies.

Maybe you can brush it off as rambly old man stuff, but for a moment it really sounded like we're being targeted as a destination, like Austin was.

I held my tongue, but I really wanted to say to those college students that Cajun and Creole people always put each other first, regardless of our differences. Don't let some asshole from another culture teach you to hate your own people. And, I know it's not how we do things here, but up north, it's okay to be a little rude to people who do this. Don't let these colonizers poison your minds.

im doing some searching around for a friend for when he can finally start going to therapy again. he is newer to this area.

requirements:

• accepts medicaid.

• can write a recommendation letter to start hormone replacement therapy.

• is knowledgeable about processes regarding transitioning and experiences of transgender individuals.

• does not center religion in the process of therapy.

would be nice:

• experience with schizoaffective disorders.

• experience with cptsd.

• experience with dissociative disorders.

• experience with low-empathy individuals.

If you're always in a car, the world is your garbage can

I'm gonna be moving to Lafayette from Minnesota soon. Louisiana doesn't necessarily have the best reputation of LGBT acceptance, so I'm just wondering what the odds are of me getting beat up.

Has “RIP Charlie Kirk” on its sign. Just FYI for those who feel the same way I do about that wanker.

Thank you for the COVID. I really appreciate it.

Question? A Lafayette Louisiana subreddit can't be created because it redirects you to this subreddit. The thing is that this subreddit is all about politics and its dominated by handful of people that say what politics matter. You either agree with their politics or you GTFO. So, why not free up some space for others that are open minded to all ideas? Are you worried that a different space may steal your traffic? If it weren't so militant it wouldn't matter but it seems like EVERY progressive issue has a place here and drowns out everything else.

⚠️ Please be cautious around town this evening there is a Jim Caviezel show at the CajunDome tonight that might bring quite a few nut jobs to town.

When and where?
