@brucebarry Tom really was great. Thanks for the promotion!

I remember hearing the quote from @boringcompany about how Nashville's rock is hard and thinking it didn't sound like what I'd heard. The rock is actually soft, but that doesn't make tunneling easy. Explained here: https://t.co/8hIeJSa9Va

What I learned in this episode about Percy Priest Lake:

1. A record 76lb fish was likely 80 yrs old.
2. Best campsites are 11/12 at Anderson Rd.
3. The rowing club once sank a $45k boat during practice.

Also shared my story about a stowaway raccoon.

When @brandonheath is playing at your church (@ottercreek), you go. When @amygrant is performing too, you invite everyone.

@NashvilleMWS this is Saxon Dr.

[Blake Farmer @flakebarmer]

@natalie_allison Agreed. I only learned about couch disinformation thing like last week. Why stoop?

My son who was an infant when Valor was a startup charter was lucky enough to get a lottery spot. He started 5th grade today. We definitely feel like we hit the lottery. He was even more excited than me.

A decade ago, I did a batch of stories about @valorcollegiate. Charter schools were a touchy topic in Nashville, and Valor flew above the fray with its pitch to make cultural and economic diversity a cornerstone. I had an infant at the time. [thread] https://t.co/REOBIN8noz

The academics are incredible. But that's not what impressed me so much initially. It was that they were perhaps more focused on social-emotional learning, and not in a touchy-feely way (though I definitely teared up the first time I watched this). https://t.co/SwCNO8KDZF

I turned it off at the golf handicap BS. Let me know if I miss anything.

First time to attend a @WPLN event purely as a supporter. Rather looking forward to it. I mean, @khalilekulona and @MelissaJoanHart? Yeah. https://t.co/KURthkfCdF

[Blake Farmer @flakebarmer]

Making my former @WPLN colleagues proud as a “bold member of society.” Someone told me today that they heard about me eating a live cicada on the radio. Adding to my @LinkedIn bio. https://t.co/m2k6tUbshx

@TGonzalez @JBarney @mackstarks Oh man. Quite the crew. I’m the only one in Burton Hills who rides.

[Blake Farmer @flakebarmer]

They don’t taste like much. Would do it again for another $100.

NPR journalists are at work today, breaking stories, broadcasting moments of joy, pain, insight and conflict, with as much fact, context and curiosity as we can. If you're curious about the claims you've been hearing about us, tune in and listen. We're here for you. NPR 🙏💪🎧

[Blake Farmer @flakebarmer]

The only minority without a home at @nprnews is a conservative. Good for @uberliner for speaking truth about an institution I also love. I can only imagine the flack he’s catching. https://t.co/yIxh46xEDZ

[Blake Farmer @flakebarmer]

The @voices4saferTN event at @ottercreek is still on tonight. We've been watching @NashSevereWx closely and will continue. Come join us if you're interested in firearm safety in TN — no matter where you fall on the political spectrum.
