WWII French Resistance fighter Simone Segouin died this week at the age of 97. She is pictured here at the age of eighteen leading a group of 25 Nazi soldiers that she had helped capture during the liberation of the city of Chartres in 1944 .

After France was invaded in May 1940, Seguoin's family helped shelter and feed resistance fighters on their farm near Chartres, France. Seguoin, who was 14 years old at the time, began helping the resistance by carrying messages around the occupied countryside on a bike -- which she later described as “reconnaissance vehicle" -- that she had stolen from a German patrol. Over time, she learned how to use handguns, rifles, and submachine guns and became an expert in explosives and guerrilla tactics. Segouin, who used the nom de guerre Nicole, worked with the resistance for years, derailing trains carrying German troops and blowing up bridges.

After Chartres was liberated in August 1944, Segouin and her fellow resistance fighters joined with the French 2nd Armored Division on the push to free Paris. They engaged in heavy street fighting for several days until the U.S. 2nd Armored Division and the U.S. 4th Infantry Division reached the center of the city, leading the Nazi commander to surrender. The next day, Segouin marched behind General Charles de Gaulle in a victory celebration down the Champs-Élysées boulevard, still holding her MP-40 Schmeisser submachine gun. She recalled the experience in a later interview: “The proudest moment was probably going to Paris with General Charles de Gaulle. It was a wonderful feeling entering the city but my excitement was limited because it felt very dangerous.” Following the war, Segouin went on to become a pediatric nurse in Chartres and the mother of six children.

Tragic Upstairs Lounge fire being remembered 50 years later

50 years ago 32 people died in the deadliest fire in history of the City of New Orleans.

50 years ago, on June 24th 1973, an arson set fire to the Upstairs Lounge in New Orleans, a well known and very popular LGBTQA Bar located in the French Quarter on the corner of Iberville and Chartres streets.

The fire tore through the building, spreading into adjacent bars and apartments. Just the smoke from the fire alone triggered a stampede which killed some of the patrons trying to escape.

All in all, 32 people died and it became enshrined in US History as the deadliest attack against the LGBTQA community in American history up until the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016.

Of course the resulting investigation went nowhere. To many LGBTQA people in NOLA, the New Orleans police never really tried to find out who committed this arson. Many believe the investigation was cut short just when police began finding some leads, this is even mentioned in the article. But no one was ever arrested or prosecuted for this crime.

Here are some photos in remembrance of those LGBTQA New Orleanians who lost their lives on that fateful day in 1973.

We hope here that the families of those who lost their lives find solace in the gains made for LGBTQA people since 1973 and we hope all the victims of this horrid crime rest in peace ❤️

Somewhere in a Fort

Jaune stared at Marcus E. Derringer, the clerk that had foisted off the role of command onto him, uncomprehending of anything that the older man had said.

Jaune however didn't wanna let anyone know that he had no idea what he was doing so there was only one option left. "Simplify it, please Marcus," he said in a commanding tone… he thought it was a commanding tone at least, no one had corrected him yet.

"Sir." he said with a nod and a sympathetic look to the men behind him as if jaune should have understood but they didn't "we have several big guns we can't allow into rebel hands, however, it's been made clear that we're on the lower part of the list getting support, at least till the navy can gain control of the gulf and land troops we're up a creek without a paddle, so to speak, sir."

Jaune nodded "so we need to leave and take the guns with us then" that was obvious. like, mean how hard would it be?

"We can't just move that kind of ordinance by hand sir." apparently it was actually that hard.

Jaune was quiet for a moment and then men looked at him like he was about to say something really clever so he said the only thing that came to mind "then we'll get em out the same way they came in. by boat"

"Sir! Do you mean to take an enemy riverboat and use it to ferry our supplies and ordinance north? Such a bold move! Of course, no one would expect it!" wait! What?

"Yeah but the rebs ain't just gonna let us take the boat and go, that's kinda the only thing keeping Washington from coming south at them" said one of the men

jaune nodded "exactly" oh shit they were looking at him again "so we'll need to distract them?"

"What could we do to possibly distract them that much though?"

Oh shit uh… "well we got a lot of guns and cannons, not to mention powder"

"OF COURSE WE MAKE THEM THINK WE'RE ATTACKING SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BREAK OUT! It's genius sir!" said Marcus

"It is?" replied jaune feeling more and more like he wasn't actually in command anymore, he cleared his throat "listen I know we're all excited but let's actually pick out a target before we run off half-cocked… there's a couple of targets we could go after like a rifle factory at #1 Canal Street Cook and brother, Dufilho is a sword maker and taking him out might be enough to get the rebs to focus away from the docks for a bit." jaune paused thinking for a bit about any other manufactories in New Orleans

"15 Chartres, New Orleans, the firm of Hyde & Goodrich. They've been importing, and making tons of war supplies, I've even heard of revolvers being made there and I sure as heck don't want the rebs having those on hand, they probably have the most stuff moving through and their warehouses would be a key target for us"

Jaune nodded "let's try and hit all of them, we'll be sneaking out of the fort and setting up the powder the night before we make a move. Then all we gotta do is blow the powder as we make our way to the docks, slip on the boat in the confusion and bring it up to the fort. We'll then load everything onto the ship and make for Saint-Louis" it was a good plan to jaune, not too complicated and it would have the added bonus of crippling the rebs enough that they couldn't chase him north the only problem was "so who's going to mind the fort while I'm gone?"

The looks on his men's faces made it clear, none of them wanted to be left here while he snuck into New Orleans, the rebs called em union dogs but come on he felt like he was leaving a bunch of puppies behind

God, why was telling em to stay put the hardest part of the plan!

Author's notes: Please note that jaune has no idea how to smuggle gunpowder into New Orleans, has no idea how to get HIMSELF! into New Orleans, has no idea how to pilot the boat when he does get it and has no idea how many rebs will be north of him. so this plan isn't nearly as well thought out as he thinks. that said all the manufactories mentioned were real and were in Louisiana at all the places I mentioned.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres & Amboise

(Entry by Elena)

We were a bit nervous leaving Paris as it marked the start of the road trip portion of our time in France. We headed over to Hertz to pick up our hire car which I’m not allowed to drive because I’m too young (won’t be able to say that for much longer). So James and Lachlan are our designated drivers for the trip. I usually love driving but with all the added pressures of European roads I’m not envious of the boys’ job. Luckily we made it out of Paris in one piece and marveled at the French countryside flying past our windows as we left the big city.

(Entry by Lachlan)

After getting used to driving on the other side of the road, we made our way South. On our way to Amboise we decided to go through a small town called Chartres and go to their Notre Dame cathedral. It was the quintessential gothic cathedral - tall spires, glorious stained glass windows, intricate inlay and carvings, tall ceilings and gilded chapels. The stained glass windows were particularly beautiful - apparently these panels are the most complete and well preserved examples of medieval stained glass windows in France. We had some delicious croque monsieurs at a bistro outside the cathedral before heading off again.

Arriving in Amboise made it clear it was the perfect change of speed from Paris - a cute little medieval-esque town nestled between the river and a castle on the rocky hills that overlook it. We spent our first afternoon there walking through winding cobbled streets with cute shops and cafes in old and peaked-roof buildings. Our apartment was a bit small and cramped, but it was balanced out by having two absolutely peak restaurants literally right outside - one Lebanese and the other a French-Middle Eastern fusion. We stayed two nights, just enough time to try both.

(Entry by Elena)

I also have to jump in here and mention the adorable little cat that lived at the restaurant right outside our front door. He was so sweet and we were immediate friends. I miss my Nala!!!!
