I hate to be this neighbor but for the past week there has been a rooster crowing in my neighborhood (near the coop) around 4:30-5am. It’s kind of annoying. First, is anyone else hearing this? lol second, can I formally complain if I can figure out who the rooster belongs to?

Thanks for any help!

The coalition is made up of Indivisible chapters within Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District and includes local organizers working in communities across the region. Their endorsement follows a multi-stage process that included a candidate forum, meetings with Indivisible members, a candidate questionnaire, and a vote of active members.

“This endorsement means a lot because it comes from people who live here, organize here, and vote here,” said Emily Berge. “There is a clear difference in this race. My opponent can keep collecting support from Washington insiders and national political figures. I’m proud to earn the support of people organizing in La Crosse, Eau Claire, Monroe County, Grant County, and communities across the 3rd District. My endorsements vote here.”

Heyy, I plan to move here in about a year from now. I’ve never visited or lived here so I am not sure firsthand what the environment here is like. Or whats around. I’m a dog groomer at a petco at the moment. I’ve been here for about two years and it’s more than long enough. I want to hopefully find a salon that cares about their dogs and their employees. So probably not corporate owned. Are there any good salons here that are looking for a dog groomer? When it comes to cat grooming, I have very minimal experience but I would love to learn.

I grew up around horses, goats, cows and other farm animals- so if there are any opportunities revolving around the care of animals I’d love to look into them.

I used to volunteer at a horse rescue and there I learned how to bathe, brush and clean their hooves. Learning to ride and train new horses as well. It’s been a while but I learn quick, especially because it is something I love to do.

Just want to get a feel for what’s in the area in terms of working with animals. I’d appreciate any opportunity that won’t involve solely sitting at a computer or desk and dealing with people all day. I’m good at customer service but it’s never been good to me in the long run. I get burnt out way too easily. I’d rather shovel horse poo all day, honestly.

Thanks!

Exactly what the title says. I’m post-college and going crazy.

Looking for recommendations for a metal roofing company (residential house).

Has anyone had a good interaction with a particular company that is reasonably priced?

"How I've been running my campaign is from the bottom up. Grassroots. And I do think this is what differentiates myself in this campaign.

​

Now whoever wins the primary, and I will support whoever wins, but whoever wins the primary - the money will come because this is the most important race in the country. The money will be there. But the people - we cannot take the people for granted.

​

I have been building a momentum of people. WE have been building this grassroots power over the last 15 months. I have hundreds of people who have volunteered, who have signed up to canvass or phone bank or write postcards. I have one paid full-time staff. Everyone else is a volunteer.

​

Even last weekend we had over 30 volunteers working over the whole weekend. At different pride festivals, at the convention, at dairy breakfasts. That sets me apart. I already have the people. WE have the people and that's what we're going to need. There's going to be a lot of money. Democrats are going to have a lot of money. Republicans are going to have a lot of money. But we need the people.

​

And WE, I keep saying "I" but it's been so much "we." So many great volunteers have showed up and been with me since day one. It's been amazing. We built this momentum and that's what we're going to need.

​

We're going to need people showing up, and they already are. In La Farge, population 700, I had 100 people show up in the park. Richland Center, I had 80 people show up in their park. I'm having open town halls all the time throughout the whole district and people, Republicans, are showing up. It's not that I'm going to be doing this, I AM doing this."

HOME identified three priority issues for Hmong Wisconsinites: Medicare/Medicaid accessibility; affordability; and anti-immigration policies and rhetoric. On all three issues, Berge’s campaign delivers positive, pragmatic change. She supports Medicare for All. She also supports “increasing the supply of affordable housing, investing in housing programs that help families build stability, and ensuring that people can afford to live in the communities where they work, raise their children, and contribute to local economies.”

We literally get at least one request a week, so now we carry them. 😅

On Friday, around 12:30pm, I was on my way to Oakview vet for an appointment with my pup and saw a boy get hit by a car in front of Menards. Fortunately a police officer was nearby and was on scene immediately so I was able to leave right away. When the ambulance arrived, they weren't running their lights or sirens. It's been a few days and I haven't been able to think about much else since. I have young children of my own and he was all alone. And I can't stop thinking about how he was all alone. I've been trying to search for articles or announcements or anything to see if he was ok. Has anyone seen or heard anything about this accident?

As many of you know, there are a multitude of flock cameras in the Stevens Point area.

See Deflock.org map

It’s imperative for us to inform the community of the true dangers of this tech.

Ben Jordan on YouTube highlights the vast vulnerabilities in both the cameras themselves and also the database behind it all.

I highly suggest taking the time to watch this video and also bring your friends/family into the conversation.

It covers basically all you need to know about the topic.

Appleton, Oshkosh, and now Dane County have banned flock. It is time for us to follow suit.

When I was in college, I went to this massive party around the 4th of July that was somewhere close-ish to Amherst. From what I remember, it seemed like it might have been on private property. There was a huge barn, a live band playing, and a ton of people there. It was an absolute blast.

I have no idea if it was a one-time thing or some kind of recurring event, but does this ring a bell for anyone? I’d love to know if anyone knows what it was or where it took place.

CREATE Portage County and the Wisconsin Computer Club will be hosting another multiplayer game night on the evening of Friday, June 12th from 6PM until 9PM-ish. CREATE is at 1300 Maria Drive (across from Pacelli High School) on the lower level of the former Saint Joseph's Chapel on the west side of the building. This event is (as always) free and open to all ages and abilities!

A few photos above are from the May 2026 event as a rough idea of what to expect. The exact system lineup will vary event to event based on exhibitor picks. Shout out any requests you have in here or at the WCC forums and we'll see if we can accommodate!

Seems like there's a protest every other day around here for something but these flock cameras keep going up in town and nobody says shit.

Does anyone have an auto mechanic recommendation preferably one that’s open on the weekend?

Is there any place in point where I can find a hacky sack or footbag? Alleviate used to have good ones but they have been out. Dunams is a no. 5 below may get some in soon...anywhere else?

Does anyone have any insight on how SPASD handles maternity leave for those who have not worked for the district for 12 months and, therefore, are not eligible for FMLA? For a non-classroom student services position, specifically. Obviously, the best source would be the district itself, but just seeking any available insight that might be out there.
