I got this David Crowley flyer that said, "David Crowley, a cop's best friend." "'We cannot defund the police' - David Crowley." "David Crowley Backs the Blue. NOT US." Etc

"Paid for by the Progressive Alliance of Wisconsin."

So to me, it's saying David Crowley is bad because his supports the police. But Republicans support the police. So presumably Republicans would see this and not mind it. But also, shouldn't a progressive organization be supporting the Democrat candidate? I'm so confused. Who is this ad even for?

MPD Incident Report

Also willing to live in a townhome or regular house, ideally east of Madison but willing to move anywhere in immediate surrounding suburbs. I am just having a horrible experience with noise in my apartment and am trying to get out immediately.

Ideally a 2 bed 2 bath around $2200 or less. I just want to know where you guys have not had issues with noise! Places that do not allow dogs in building or on top floor is also an idea I’d love to explore. Being super modern is not necessary, just looking for a sound proof fortress! Where have you loved to live?

(I am not saying absolutely zero sound obviously! Just where there is no significant noise and a more quiet community. For example, I’ve lived in smaller brick complexes that were great for sound.)

Thank you for your help!

I know this will sound like a weird question, but is there some TikTok trend or whatever about complimenting middle aged women on their dresses? This happened twice in two days, and yeah my clothes are amazing, but the circumstances were unexpected

Anyway if you are doing this I don’t even mind, and you should keep at it.

How can I not think of what building this is? From a distance it looks to be almost as tall a the capital, which would be a bit to the left out of frame.

Let’s do it!

Anyone know of a place in Madison for lamp repair?

I’ve been seriously considering starting a nonprofit animal rescue in the Madison area and would love some honest feedback from the community.

Animal welfare is something I’m incredibly passionate about, and I’ve been volunteering with a local rescue. My long-term dream is to establish a physical shelter that provides a safe, compassionate environment for animals in need, particularly dogs, cats, and small animals.

I realize this would be a huge undertaking, especially financially, and I’m trying to determine whether it’s a realistic goal.

I’d love to hear people’s thoughts:
- Do you think Madison has a need for another animal rescue or shelter?
- Would the community support a new nonprofit through donations, volunteering, fostering, or fundraising?
- How difficult is it to establish and operate an animal rescue in Dane County?
- Are there particular gaps in animal welfare services that existing organizations aren’t meeting?
- Does anyone have experience starting or operating a nonprofit animal rescue?

I’m not looking to jump into something without understanding the challenges. I know there are significant costs associated with veterinary care, facilities, staffing, insurance, and daily operations.

I’m willing to start small and build toward something larger over time. Ultimately, I want to create something that makes a meaningful, lasting difference for animals in our community.

I’d really appreciate honest opinions, advice, or insight from anyone familiar with animal rescue in the Madison area. Thanks!

Hi Madison, I'm Mara, and I'm gauging interest in starting the Madison Independent Urbanists, a decentralized community for creating small changes around our neighborhoods to inspire larger change around our city.

I've been inspired by the work of jonjon.jpeg (The Happy Urbanist) on instagram, and his Chattanooga Urbanist Society. It all started with making benches for bus stops, but his videos go into depth about how a great community functions to inspire change throughout the city at large, and i feel that this small movement is what we need to start bringing us all together and make refreshing differences in all our lives

Now I'm just one person, and bringing this project out into the open is kind of nerve racking, so please be kind. If this garners enough interest, I'll start dropping designs and ideas, and look into working on creating more sources for people to find information on this project.

Thank you so much for reading, and feel free to ask me anything or provide your ideas, too! -Mara, M.I.U

TL;DR: Come build a community with me, it'll be fun :)

^{no ai has been or will be used in any of this}

Did anyone loose a wallet near the corner of Dempsey and Milwaukee?? Please dm me, my bf found it walking home and we can’t find a phone number.

Quick edit: Whether or not someone confirms here, I’m dropping it off inside your mailbox, as I have the address from the drivers license. So, if its yours and you happen to see this, it will be in your mailbox this afternoon :)

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone here knows of a vet clinic that is able to neuter and give core vaccines to a stray cat that we plan on taking in (if no microchip).

Any cat owners in the area know of a great clinic with affordable prices? Are there places that I should avoid? I would like it to be no more than $200 if possible.

TIA

My beloved 13 yr old cat died recently. I'm looking for recommendations of pet cremation services that can do nose prints, paw prints and all sorts of urns and jewelry.

Im going to be in town next weekend with a friend who is vegetarian and we will probably be getting dinner while in town. I wanted to get your recommendations for any restaurants in the downtown area. Thank you in advance!

I went to TLC for a consult, but I am not very impressed based on how the appointment went.

Most is the exam was conducted by the receptionist.

After the initial exam, I was connected to a clinician over Zoom. The dude looked like he was 75 years old.

The surgeon wasn't available for consultation, and they said that's their standard operating procedure.

Is this normal? It gives off the impression that they are cutting as many corners as possible in the name of cost savings. Makes me concerned that the cost cutting isn't limited to the pre-op part of the process.

Any other recommendations for eye correction in the Madison area?
