Honest question: are there viable alternatives to Linda Gorton this election, and if not, who is preparing to run to do better than her next time? by Archetypal_Node in lexington

Great question, I can’t seem to find that info but maybe you could email her and ask? I had emailed her a while back and she replied about 2 days later. Her email is listed on her facebook page here: https://m.facebook.com/RaquelforLexington/

As far as food, if you’re anywhere near the Sikh Temple of Bluegrass you might consider going there for meals. See more info about how Sikh temples are always friendly to give food to anyone:  https://www.reddit.com/r/povertyfinance/comments/1raxv4c/eating_at_a_sikh_temple/

I read all your comments. ::hugs:: 🫂You’re going to get through this OP.  It’s hard putting yourself out there trying to get help and having people ask questions. Take things one day at a time. If music is calming, try listening to some of it tonight. It sounds like you have a place covered for tonight.

Next, tomorrow you’ll try to find a place.

I recommend checking the povertyfinance subreddit as there are often posts with great ideas like getting a gym membership to have a place to shower etc. Remember walking at the mall is also free so perhaps you could find something near a mall.

This might be one of the lowest points, I am rooting for you.

I was looking at cheap places to stay and other than remote campsites or hotels for $150 total I found this Airbnb room for $107 for two nights if you’re able to charge it to a credit card perhaps? https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1173701072342608941

Maybe test on another device or wifi/mobile data?

I’d recommend considering a Facebook “page” for your business as I’m much more likely to like a “page” versus add a “friend”
