God's Pantry Food Bank has been my employer for over 24 years since July 1999, starting in South Forbes Road.
It has also been a way of life working to help fight hunger in Kentucky.
Today we broke ground on a new location on Innovation Drive, Lexington, KY. I was so glad to be there and proud to move ground with a shovel alongside my workmates and friends.

📌 Not many people know that the original #MBTA plan was to extend to Arlington and Lexington in the 1970s but then this happened (see attached excerpt from the Boston Globe article: "A visionary plan for the MBTA’s future (from 1947)" ⤵️
Had a free afternoon, so I went on a hike today for the first time in a while. This is at Raven Run, in #Lexington #Kentucky.
"On paper, #Lexington County, S.C., and #Placer County, Calif., have a lot in common. They’re both big, wealthy, suburban counties with white supermajorities that border on their respective state’s capital cities. They both were at the vanguard of their states’ 20th century #Republican advances — Lexington in the 1960s when it pivoted from the racist Dixiecrats; Placer with the Reagan Revolution in 1980 — and twice voted for Donald Trump by wide margins. But when it comes to how long their residents can count on living, the parallels fall apart. Placer has a Scandinavia-like life expectancy of 82.3 years. In Lexington, the figure is 77.7, a little worse than China’s."

Enjoying a nice #TullamoreDew after a terrific birthday dinner at Malone’s here in #Lexington #Kentucky. The return of students means the place was packed, but we got lucky and got a table almost immediately. While I got to love #Bourbon, sometimes a good old Irish Whiskey is just what the doctor ordered.
Dark, dark red lies the beer in front of me with a fleeting head of tan bubbles that just can't stay around, as they have been in a bourbon barrel for too long.

Watching the #RichmondKickers play at #Lexington in #USLLeagueOne. Lexington plays on a gridiron #football field, with the #soccer lines in yellow as an afterthought. So disrespectful of the game, so ugly. #MastodonFC

@kylewritescode That's where I'm from. Going back to visit family. In this case, the in-laws in #Ostfriesland, in Northern Germany. I'm originally from the #Ruhrgebiet. My wife and I came to #Kentucky as postdocs at #UKY, and kind of got stuck. #Lexington is a nice place.

# Anti-Pride backlash won't stop these Kentucky businesses from celebrating it. Here's why
The article is about how some #Kentucky #businesses are #supporting #PrideMonth and the #LGBTQ+ #community, despite facing some #antiLGBTQ #backlash from #customers or online. The article features three businesses: #RacingLouisvilleFC, a #professional #women's #soccer team that sells #Pride #merchandise; #KentuckyForKentucky, a #souvenir #shop based in #Lexington that sells Pride merchandise and has a #majority #LGBTQstaff; and #SisGotTea, a #tea #shop owned by a #Black #queer #woman who #hosts #events for LGBTQ+ #PeopleOfColor. The article reports on the #positive #feedback and sales that these businesses have #received, as well as the #challenges and #threats they have faced in a #conservative #state. The article also mentions some of the #antiLGBTQ #legislation that has been passed or proposed in Kentucky, such as a #ban on #transgender #youth from getting #GenderAffirming #care.

It you're in the #Lexington, #Kentucky area and are looking for summer camps for your kids, please check out Newton's Attic. They're absolutely wonderful in #STEM education, and the stuff they teach is amazing.
My kids went there since they were in elementary school and my daughter is now one of the first generation students that are coming back for full-time teaching there. #TimeFlies. She's an Electrical Engineering and Aerospace major at #UKY now.
News -- just as its Back Bay location shutters, word has come down that a new Revival Cafe + Kitchen is planning to open in Lexington Center. https://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2023/05/revival-cafe-kitchen-plans-to-open-in.html
If you happen to be in #Lexington, #Kentucky, maybe for #Keeneland, go and try J. Render's Southern Table and Bar. Absolutely great BBQ, the ribs are fantastic. Locally owned and operated, and absolutely worthy of your support.
Have a West Sixth IPA with it.

The #JWFrancis show on #DreamWishes live at Al's bar in #Lexington last Thursday was wild. Kentucky's own #RobertBeatty did the viideo effects and switching for the live sream...I got to see my old friend #LittleBubbyChild. #TrevorsLighteningProject filled in last minute and was great. Powerful night of love energy. And #octamedussa, who I adore, DJed a killer set. JW is a doll, as my grammie used to say.

@QasimRashid Here in #Lexington #KY we have two wonderful local coffee houses I can wholeheartedly recommend: Common Grounds and The Human Bean. Go check them out.
More intro: My #WFMU show is intended to be helpful by being confusing. Like #dada 's Hugo Ball was your therapist. Compassionate madness. Also I do music that is either parody or a terrible sincere effort. It's not clear. Active supporter of #Lexington music and visual arts scene. WFMU, btw, is the world's best freeform radio station.
Was going through my sketchbooks on procreate and realized that I had a ton of Gargoyle stuff so I made another sketchdump. This is not even all of it.
#Gargoyles #Brooklyn #Lexington #Broadway #Goliath #disney #Elisa #Hudson
3rd batch of Gargoyle sketches. Them as babies!! And also an awkward teenage Goliath.
Couple of headcanons:
- Goliath was a tall bundle of sticks until he goes through the "away at summer camp" glow up.
- Brooklyn was as tiny as Lexington as hatchlings and would get into scraps all the time since others would pick on their size.
- once they befriended Broadway the teasing stopped real fast (even though he is just a sweetheart)

Any #Kentucky-ians in the house? What’s this big bowl that #Lexington and #Louisville are inside, and ringed by hills to the east, south, and west? Is it the Bluegrass region, ringed by the Cumberland Plateau on the east and the Mississippi Plateau to the west?
