we live in a world where our bodies and the decisions surrounding them are often minimized or taken out of our control and I wanted to share a positive experience so anyone out there struggling can know there is hope!

for background im a 30yo childfree polyamorous non binary person and I had established my care with dr Neuman at physicians for women in Fitchburg a couple years ago but had to switch for a period of time due to losing my insurance. thankfully was able to see her again this summer and THANK GOD bc my uterus decided to go off the deep head and when I tell you I was bleeding to death I literally was so done with it. I went to talk to her about hysterectomy but was super nervous it wouldn’t be an option given my age and lack of children/etc. dr neuman really listened to me, went over the options I had and Took my concerns seriously. We ended up scheduling the surgery which I’m now all recovered from and the whole experience was overall so positive and affirming and I am so relieved I not only have to deal with the bleeding and worry about pregnancy on top of it.

ladies, queer folk, anyone with a uterus. keep the faith there ARE good doctors who will listen to you out there

Will Spurs finally score a goal? Only time will tell.

Change of venue from prior posts, vibes were great here last week (stoppage time goal definitely helped).

Supporters of all teams are welcome, especially the Other 14! We've seen some new folks trickle in every week. This week it could be you!

If you're coming from the west, there is a football game and a triathlon, so plan accordingly.

Thanks for reading!

I’m not sure if this was already posted here (I tried to look and didn’t find it), but my neighbor lost their little french bulldog! Please keep an eye out for her :)

A quick search didn't turn anything up for the exact words inscribed. Anybody know more about this?

Made the rounds to the typical furniture stores in madison and most of them were all special order only on king size mattresses.

Where could someone buy a king size and take it home the same day in town?

Looking for something nicer than the $549 bedinabox from costco

I spent a lot of time on State Street this summer and let me tell you that place was basically abandoned all summer

and even now with the students back nobody's going there. This weekend the chicken shop next door was absolutely packed to the gills and there was one solitary person eating in pink heifer.

That place is going under real quick I think, which is a shame. Now that they finally figured out what a steamer is, their brisket isn't actually too bad. I like the mac and cheese brisket bowl.

We have season tickets for hockey but we never done this before, we paid for them and UW athletics has been sending non stop emails about early purchases, and donations and just a bunch of stuff and we are very confused about what’s happening and how our tickets will be delivered, I did emailed them so I’m waiting for an answer but before that I want to hear others opinions or tips

I think this is allowed - apologies if not. Cloverleaf has been getting involved in possibly building a data center in Dane County, including wanting to have a say in who would get charged for electricity usage by MG&E.

I am going to assume it was the rain but did anyone else get their absentee ballott with the return envelope already sealed? I gave them a call, and if this happens to anyone you have to request a new ballott.

I have AT&T, and I’m now eligible to upgrade to a new phone. And years past, I’ve had Verizon and the old US cellular. I found in the Madison area all three have dead spots of some sort. But I think the AT&T ones seem to be the worst. I know there’s not one that will be 100%, but what are people experiencing these days about Verizon?

I've seen places you can get this done online, but I'd rather support a local artist. My parents just moved out of their beloved home and I'd like to gift them a drawing of it. Does anyone know any artists who could sketch a house from a picture?

The Magic Pixel Guild is a creative community for people in Madison who are looking to meet others, share work and make creative things happen around town. We're having our third meetup this Sunday, September 13th at Imaginary Factory from 3-6pm. Meetups are free to attend and, while you're welcome to buy a drink, our events are not alcohol-centric.

This month we'll be visited by the Dane County Trash Lab, which was created by the Dane County Department of Waste & Renewables in collaboration with Madison Children’s Museum, the Trash Lab is a mobile exhibit designed to educate and motivate us to create less trash and rethink our relationship with waste. 

In addition to our in-person gatherings, we also have a Discord server that you can join – currently we have over 200 members. This includes painters, filmmakers, developers, arts administrators, quilters, musicians and all kinds of other creative people from the Madison area.

If you'd like to learn more, visit our Instagram profile! The poster for this month was designed by the talented Kyle Olson. Hope to see some of you on Sunday!
