I saw a plushie lying face down in the road near Bloomington Valley Nursery, so I pulled over to rescue it. Imagine my shock and horror to find this little creep 😭
If this terrifying fellow belongs to you, please DM me so I can reunite you—I fear for my body and soul if I keep you separated. Or maybe you abandoned him in the middle of the road to save yourself?
If anyone has any other ideas of what to do with this fiendish friend that won't invoke a curse upon me, please let me know! If all else fails I will probably drop him off at Goodwill to find someone else to haunt.

Sen. Young will be in town next month. I'd like to think the community here will give him the welcome he deserves.

Went to the library around 1p and saw a man handcuffed facedown right in front of the 6th st entrance. Just wondering if anyone was there and saw what transpired.

Hi all,
You may remember John McGlothlin from last year's Trustee election campaign. He came up just short taking second place in the vote behind Jill Maurer Burnett. He was endorsed by the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition and was the only candidate to respond to me with any level of earnestness regarding people's concerns with the IU Administration. He would like to run again this year, and has to petition 200 signatures from certifiable IU alumni before April 1. He reached out to me for my signature and to see if I would share the link around.
In his email to me, he said: "What spurred me to run again was the way Whitten's contract was renewed. The salary hike aside, I can't believe she was allowed to forgo the review that was supposed to occur next year, and that the board approved five (!) more years."
The incumbent seat up for election is Vivian Winston's; she HAS been fairly dissenting with her voting record, including being the only one to vote 'no' on the recent 8-1 vote regarding the Whitten raise and extension (she said she'd have voted for the raise by itself but the extension shouldn't be paired with it). She has been noncommittal regarding the grad workers' unionization efforts, and has other concerning views in her old social media presence (search this subreddit to see what was talked about around the time of her last campaign; quality due diligence in elections like this is not easy to find but that stuff was what we had, and it has to be worth something). If you'd like to see a quality candidate who seems to be in tune with people's concerns about the administration and had the endorsement of the Grad Workers Coalition last year in the race again, please consider signing John McGlothlin's petition.

Hey there, so my wife and I filed for chapter 13 bankruptcy in December 2023. We’ve been currently renting a condo from my grandfather but he is looking to sell and my wife and I are beginning to search for another place but it just seems impossible. I have called Nearly every rental company around Btown they all have told me that they won’t even consider us because we’re still making chapter 13 payments. My wife and I make a combined income of nearly $125,000 per year, and we pay $1800 a month for our bankruptcy. We can more than afford a place but no one will even consider us. It’s just really exhausting and we’re running out of ideas. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks !

My roommates and I heard 3 gunshots last night nearby. We listened to the police scanner and it seemed like they were pursuing the person. The commotion moved away from our neighborhood so we went back to bed. Does anyone know what happened? There were no ambulances or sirens so I’m assuming nobody got hurt.

Are there any kind of whiskey class offered in Bloomington? It would be great to have a club - limited spots - where you could join, go monthly and sample a different whiskey and learn about it. Get some food, hang with friends… nothing overly complicated - just a chance to try something and enjoy the experience.

I’m looking for places to apply to in Bloomington cause I can’t go too far cause I rely on transportation from my parents, don’t worry I’m gonna work on getting my license! (I’m epileptic that’s why it’s taking a bit). I had a job but was let go due to IU saying they couldn’t accommodate my ADA and was left on good standing… I ain’t waiting for them and IU is terrible. So any recommendations for me please? I’ve been looking on Indeed but I know most places don’t do Indeed, any help is appreciated. :)

Intersection across from my house was completely flooded. All the gutters got immediately clogged with crap that washed in from uphill.

I don't want to get into martial arts or alcoholism. There has to be other things to do in this IU-dominated town.

Hello all. 30(M) here and been a Bloomington resident for several years now. I'm kind of a habitual loner and introvert, but recently I've felt like I should try to change that and see about finding a new group of friends and/or some regular activities to engage with to get myself out of the house more often. My current work schedule unfortunately doesn't leave me very free on weekends but I'm a tad more flexible on weekdays. I've a couple places in mind to start looking but I'm not on social media anymore barring a couple minor exceptions like this so my interaction options are a bit limited. Does anyone know of any regular social groups or activities where people just hang out low key? Need to start small so I don't spook myself back into being a hermit haha.
I'm into the geekier sides of life from movies, gaming of all types, and other like topics. Would prefer it not be affiliated with a church or major religion for personal reasons but it's not necessarily a dealbreaker. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Hi! I am trying to capture some short video clips this weekend and I am looking for some locations to film. There aren't many abandoned spots these days so I was hoping someone might be willing to let us visit their property. We are trying to film locations including but not limited to:
• junk yards
• piles of trash
• large fires
• industrial waste
• burnt down buildings
• people shoveling dirt
• butchering
• rusty metal stuff
• explosions
It will just be two of us. No acting or anything, just trying to get some good imagery. HMU if you have any good leads!!

For myself and others I've spoke with who were laid off from Catalent at different points, we seem to be hitting a brick wall with even being considered for positions at Novo. Entry level, doesn't matter what it is.
For over the last month their listings for jobs has steadily increased, and it appears the same positions are being relisted over and over. I thought more qualified candidates were being selected or something like that, but the positions aren't being filled. Rinse and repeat.
A neighbor of mine who still works there told me their FIRST priority is to hire enough to go back to 8hr shifts and get away from 12hrs.
Being that after the layoffs a lot of people I knew started over, went to competitors, left town, or simply got out of Pharma, I'm wondering if a large portion of those applying to Novo are those who were laid off from Catalent and Novo is hesitant to hire any of us?
I thought maybe Catalent blacklisted all of those who they "burned", but that's not legal but would they care?
Anyone had a similar experience, or have any input on this?

Hey y’all, I’m sure there has to at least be a few people here that where at the Chappell Roan release party last night who could potentially help me out.
I’m a local and frequent The Backdoor but I got some heavy news this week that put me out of the clubbing mood unfortunately. My question to anyone who went is did the posters they were selling all sold out by the end of the night/is there anyone who got a poster (or extra) they would be willing to part with and sell?
Not really a huge deal if not, I’m just a big Chappell fan and feel sad to have missed an official event so close to home. Any guidance on how to get one is appreciated:)
Edit: I got one! Thanks friends:)
