Read this thread for an in depth perspective on the first few years of New Orleans & Louisiana history

Sorry y’all for the verbosity. I was feeling on a roll last night.

@LaRaza1538 @dfossier In the case of New Orleans specifically, bienville lead an initial expedition with about 35 men. While about 20 of them were in a prisoner labor gang, their exact ethnic composition was unknown.

How do yall feel about blocking in general? I don’t usually block people unless they’ve devolved into insults or are making threats against me or other people.

Otherwise(as I’m sure yall have figured out) I’ll engage and have the “back &forth” with people I disagree with

[𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚢 @steppedenizen]

The original poster blocked me, as other people started pushing/ratio-ing

New Orleans is a special place.

@Corbienest I can accept these terms, with the added caveat that people who live in low density areas’ property tax reflect a figure which atleast breaks even for municipal finances.

Thing is, if it did 4/5 of suburbia would be for sale due to tax foreclosure in 5 years

@rose_stabler On reading it back this all sounds super emo.

Ignore my ramblings

Feu Follet (crazy fire) alternatively called Fifolet are spirits in Cajun Folklore.

Similar to Anglo-American Will-O-Whisp
They’re describes as balls of fire, frequently blue in color, hovering around in the marsh & swamps.

@rose_stabler Demiurgic formulae never convinced me. But rather a God of a sort of inverted euhemerism

@burnside_brett The idea that you would be victimized and then a judge would award her the kids is crazy, not to mention insist you be the one to pay the child support

[𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚢 @steppedenizen]

@burnside_brett It’s certainly not been fun, if indeed the pretext of “Jason’s” return from Colorado is more fact that fiction, I too am sorry to hear of your circumstances

[𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚢 @steppedenizen]

@burnside_brett I can’t help but wonder if depression is conflated with melancholia, a phenomena while not pleasant, is renown in centuries past for its fertility to strikes of genius. I don’t know that I would want to suppress or dull melancholia

[𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚢 @steppedenizen]

@burnside_brett Genius as a mode of thinking, is contrary to the normative modes of thinking; namely induction and deduction which rely on a string of known logical syllogisms.

They used to attribute “eureka!” Moments to the muses who “sang to me”

[𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚢 @steppedenizen]

@burnside_brett Melancholia used to be understood as a state of mind which engendered genius (genius in the classical sense not the 135 IQ sense used today) or atleast an enthogenic state of mind through which genius could take root

[𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚢 @steppedenizen]

@burnside_brett Do you believe depression and melancholia are the same thing?

[𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚢 @steppedenizen]

@burnside_brett Ideas certainly come to mind. Though I don’t want to contaminate the creative flow

[𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚢 @steppedenizen]

@LaRaza1538 @nolacampanella @usuallyjazz I’m pro consolidation into the high ground

[𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚢 @steppedenizen]

@burnside_brett I could see it going a couple of fun directions.

Are you thinking something more natural, super natural? Or something that could be plausibly either depending upon how the audience wants to interpret it?
