new orleans: culture trip or drunken circus? 🎷🍹

I went to New Orleans dreaming of jazz echoing through cobblestone streets, the smell of gumbo in the air, and locals dancing to brass bands under the sunset. But Bourbon Street at night felt more like Las Vegas with a hangover. Tourists stumbled from bar to bar with plastic cups, yelling “Mardi Gras!” in October. Street performers fought for tips, and the jazz was drowned out by EDM blasting from neon-lit clubs. I watched a man dressed as a clown take selfies in front of a 200-year-old church — and people cheered. Locals told me, “We love visitors, but they don’t love the real New Orleans. They just love the party.” And they’re right. Somewhere between the hurricanes (the drink) and the hurricanes (the storms), the city’s soul got commercialized. Is this still cultural celebration — or cultural exhaustion? #Travel #NewOrleans

WTH is that?!?! Part 3

So this was about 3 years ago. I had just dyed my hair and cut it so I was taking selfies. I took about 40 pictures in a span of about 8 minutes. (Then I could delete the ones I didn't like.) Anyways, in 4 of these pictures, there's this thing. (what I circled on both pictures) what makes it even more creepy is that in the first one, it's like the profile of this thing. In second picture, it looks like it looking in the same direction I'm looking. So to me, it looks like some little demon fairy that looks like it has a praying mantis head, sitting on my shoulder. My sister said it looks like a hellhound and it's standing behind me. There's a door behind me and all the way to the left side of the picture is a gold door nob. I thought maybe what looks to be eyes to me, was just a reflection from the lamp I had on and the angle I had my phone at when I took the pictures. But it's not in any of the other ones except for 4 pictures I took in a row where it's there. The third and fourth pictures are the same picture but I circled two separate, idk what to call them. The picture was taken somewhere in between the 40 selfies I took. I was the only one in the basement. Idk. In the attached fifth picture is a devils flower mantis because that's what it looks like to me.The third picture to me looks something like a naked person? In the fourth picture I circled what kinda looks like the profile of a human/pig hybrid creature with its mouth wide open, black eye or around the eye and a dark blue or dark purple streak going down the side of its face. Maybe it cries tears of purple? Even if it is nothing other than a trick of the light and lens, it still looks creepy! Does anyone have any thoughts on these?
