To celebrate, we're offering 15% off all new paid subscriptions!

(Obvs, free subscriptions remain available and free)
Some personal news: I just got named Louisville’s best local writer.

And @thegallerypass.bsky.social got named the third best local blog (not bad for having almost no name recognition and being less than two years old).

Stunned, thrilled + deeply honored. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

just a quick fyi that this week's edition of the gallery pass will most likely be delayed because i tried to write it and ended up going on a rant about pickleball courts and the short-lived jcps superintendent's run club.

@thegallerypass.bsky.social is totally unhinged. I love it and you should def become a paid subscriber. We need to keep @oliviakrauth.bsky.social reporting on the GA. She's one of the best reporters covering the KY state legislature.
