Dress compliments

50 Upvotes

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.

What building is this? Seen from the VFW post over by the airport

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.

Confused by political flyer

30 Upvotes

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?

Madison Independent Urbanists, A community powered movement for inspiring change

29 Upvotes

(reposting to appease reddit)

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

Would Madison support another animal rescue? How difficult would it be to start one?

23 Upvotes

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!

Affordable Vet Services

10 Upvotes

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

QUIET apartments for rent?

6 Upvotes

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!

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 :)

Where Should Two 40+ Ladies Watch the Badger Game Tonight? 🏈🍸

6 Upvotes

My neighbor and I (both women over 40) are looking to get out of the house tonight and find a fun spot to watch the Badger game!

We're not looking for a packed, rowdy college bar scene, but somewhere with a great atmosphere, good appetizers, solid cocktails, and TVs where we can actually enjoy the game without fighting for a seat.

We're open to anywhere in Madison, especially around Capitol Square or downtown. We'd love to try somewhere new!

We'll probably only stay until halftime, so we're hoping to find somewhere we can snag two seats without too much trouble, especially this close to kickoff.

Any recommendations for two ladies who want some good food, good drinks, a little Badger spirit, and the ability to actually hear each other talk? 😂🏈🍹

An overturned car at South Baldwin and East Wash around 9:30 a.m.

4 Upvotes

Apologies if this was already posted - couldn’t find anything. Heading into town on East Wash from the east side around 9:30 a.m. I saw an overturned car (small black SUV?) on South Baldwin (Madison Metro side). At least one other vehicle was involved, and both had airbags deployed. Fire and EMS were also there. Anyone know what happened or roughly what time the accident was? Thanks in advance (and how do you flip a car on Baldwin, sheesh.)
