Yes, Kentucky is just a sh!t state all the way around now.
PS - Jews and African Americans were only admitted to Lexington's Idle Hour golf course / country club in 1985. That's not ancient history. That's the year my oldest daughter was born. I moved here in 1989, and even though Lexington is supposedly a liberal city, it's history is dark. Doing my architectural internship, I found a lot of icky defacto redlining and other things. There are still deeds in the downtown victorian era neighborhoods up through the 1950s that forbid a Jew or African American person from buying the properties or even staying there overnight.
As I move instances today, I figure it's time for another #Introduction. I am the only Orthodox #Jewish#transgender#film critic that I know of. That said, I do cover #TV to some extent. I am a member of various awards-voting critics groups.
In addition to my love of #movies, I am also a #baseball fan and write about baseball at Dugout Dirt (which will remain on #Substack until my #Buttondown newsletter brings in enough paid subscription revenue to justify a move). The #StLCards are my favorite baseball team and when it comes to college #sports, it's all about the #KentuckyWildcats aka #BBN. I root for the #Boston#Celtics when it comes to the #NBA even as many ex-Cats are playing throughout the league.
Another thing: I am very vocal when it comes to speaking out against #antisemitism no matter where it comes from.
