But really, I’m writing a newsletter, as a treat (for me). It’ll be a little about New Orleans cats but maybe mostly about books and music and other stuff. You can sign up here if you think that sounds like a nice thing to read: ashleydean.substack.com/welcome

sending @cclark_13 to jail for showing me this before I even got out of bed

@KevinJBeaty subscribe me to more personal cow alerts, thank you

Also, look at this very cute and fluffy baby longhorn! CC @AshleyDean

A couple of glances at the National Western Stock Show parade in #Denver today, a very long tradition that took a little hiatus.

Well this is a huge bummer. Putting on a Pop-Up Zine in Denver was so fun and the Pop-Up Mag team was great to work with. (Click thru to the post if you’re hiring.)

@samuelbrasch The audio on this... everyone is playing their parts exactly right.

@heather_muse but now it's not even killing the spiders or taking out the trash

We're all talking about Twitter like we're rationalizing staying in a bad relationship. "It's awful and bad for us but what would we do with out it?"

just workshopping my revolutionary TED Talk: People Hate Change

actually we handle a lot of things this way, huh?

Also can't recommend walking to vote highly enough. A+ stuff. A little sunshine, a little sweat, a little New Orleans energy.

RTA rides are once again free for Election Day so, you know, hop on that bus for democracy. norta.com/news-list/rta-…

My dear pal @TimBella really wrote a WHOLE book and I think you should buy it wherever you buy books.

@barry_osborne Barry, this is truly an honor.

Neighbors have long rallied for change, but they’re up against a tangle of private and governmental interests, and potential solutions regularly die unfunded, writes @ashleydean of the "Bywater train" antigravitymagazine.com/feature/derail…

@NOLAJake I go to the Liberto on Willow Street. Took my wedding dress there because they had great reviews and haven't stopped going back, even though it's crazy far for me.

Best dry cleaner in New Orleans?

The sound of the bywater train at night is romantic af. Being trapped in Bywater by the train when you're trying to go somewhere is actual hell.

@TheIsaJones @antigravitymag when you think it's going to clear the street and then starts going back the other way again..... it's too hot out to be standing out here!

@AshleyDean @antigravitymag I still have nightmares about that train.

Can't keep myself out of local journalism, apparently... Wrote a lil something about the Bywater train for @antigravitymag antigravitymagazine.com/feature/derail…

Anyway, because I'm a sick sick person, I spent some time figuring out how much that train is actually blocking St. Claude. antigravitymagazine.com/feature/derail…

@antigravitymag If you live near these tracks (which I do) it's not really about the noise. The noise is fine. But anyone around here will tell you it's a safety issue. Frustrated drivers flying down residential streets (sometimes going the wrong way), blocked emergency vehicles — all that.

I have never actually used the pockets on a dress and I probably never will and I don't think anyone really is.

Haven't tweeted in over a month but I have something to say.
