I do love a good lesson.
a quick lesson in cause and effect
I wish y’all knew just how remarkable @_AustinHorn and @AcquistoA have been in their reporting of this story. They’ve been beyond diligent in their fact-checking while never losing an ounce of respect or compassion for the women who trusted them with our stories.
To our readers: After 13 interviews with management, bartenders + dancers at Foxys strip club in Louisville, our @heraldleader reporters crafted a story that outlined @grossberg4ky's lifetime ban. We presented the findings to his lawyer for comment. Grossberg denied them + said,…

This is possibly my favorite thing ever.

No discourse but this video of Chappelle Roan covering “Dreams” by The Cranberries just momentarily cured my depression
Big love to @AlaniNutrition for the cold drinks at the end of the Pride Parade!
I’m honored for my inaugural poem to hang in the office of this governor whom I admire so much. 300 copies, signed and numbered, were hand-lettered and printed as a collaboration by October Press and Larkspur Press. Of course Gov. Beshear received number one.
