Jensen Ackles Chosen as 51st Bacchus for Krewe of Bacchus in New Orleans

The Krewe of Bacchus announced this morning on Facebook that Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester, Supernatural) will reign as Bacchus (King) at the 51st Krewe of Bacchus.

According to the Krewe of Bacchus website, it “is one of the most innovative Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans Carnival history. In 1969 Bacchus broke with Mardi Gras traditions and announced that a national celebrity would reign as King”, and this year it is Jensen Ackles’ turn. The Krewe of Bacchus has had other celebrity kings in the past, including Will Ferrell, John C. Riley, Elijah Woods, and Nicolas Cage.

As you can see up above, the King is always dressed the part, and that is certainly something to look forward to!

Ackles will lead the parade on Sunday, March 3, 2019. On their Facebook post, the Krewe of Bacchus reported, “Bacchus is partnering with WWL-TV to broadcast the Bacchus parade at 10 p.m. from the Morial Convention Center where the Bacchus Rendezvous is held annually. The parade will also be available on WWL-TV.com and on mobile devices.”

We are her fathers now. 

The stories of women in my family who were forced into lives they didn’t want and didn’t utilize their passions breaks my heart. My grandma wanted to be a journalist and write about the injustices she saw inflicted on disabled ppl while she was volunteering at a state run institution as a teen. Her father decided that she was “too fat and stupid” for college and forced her to get married at 17 or else he’d make her homeless. As a kid she told me that she wished people believed that she had meaningful opinions on events around her. One of my great grandmothers wanted to be an artist but was pressured into marrying a man who beat her. She stayed up late each night when her children were in bed writing poetry and pasting it over elaborate collages she mad herself. We still have stacks of these notebooks she created but was never allowed to do anything with. My mother wanted to be an operatic singer and was considered a musical prodigy in her town because she taught herself three seperate instruments by 13. When she was 18 she met my then 30 year old father who emotionally manipulated her into giving up her dreams to start a family with him. As a kid I would hear her up at night playing the violin or doing vocal exercises until she became too depressed to practice anymore. Like idk y’all there’s a quiet type of violence in the way women’s talents are devalued and brushed aside in favor of bullying them into “traditional” roles that ultimately don’t fulfill what they wanted for their lives. We’ve lost so much art, music, writing, science, and happiness to misogyny.

my mom made a big mistake about telling me that vulcans get drunk on chocolate
