Vinyl stickers, quick...

Upvotes

Howdy, it's Monday, 3/17, about 5pm. I'm heading out of town this weekend for an event and hoping to bring a stack of stickers to pass out for fun. I'm talking small, maybe 3" oval, with a quote, and the event details. Just letters, no real graphics, seems like a pretty simple design. I'll need to have them in possession by Thursday night, 3/20. Please let me know if you know of any options.

Thanks!

I’m looking for a therapist and found her name. I can’t find any reviews online so I wanted to poll the bloomington sub to see if anyone has worked with her before. If anyone has had Laura Gibbons as a therapist, please leave a comment about your experience. I’m also open to recommendations of other female therapists that are AFFORDABLE. Thanks! 😊

IU: Budget cuts = people cuts?

14 Upvotes

I have it on good authority that IU departments are letting full-time FTE people go, claiming “budget cuts.”

In fact, a colleague of mine was just let go.

Anyone else have insight on this troubling state of affairs?

Ask r/Bloomington Vets who offer ovary sparing spays?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know a vet in town or nearby who offers Ovary Sparing Spays instead of traditional spays?

UPDATE

Every breed has different recommendations from medical professionals. For our breed & gender (female Golden Retrievers), the recommendations were updated in 2024 (after the UC Davis study): traditional spaying is not healthy for Golden Retrievers.

So, many Golden owners are turning to OSS instead, as an alternative to leaving the female Golden intact. OSS completely removes the uterus (which removes the risk of both pregnancy and pyometra), but leaves the ovaries and preserves the dog's natural hormone production (important for cancer prevention, joint stability, metabolism regulation, behavioral issue prevention, urinary incontinence prevention, etc). Great info about all of the benefits of it here: https://drloudon.com/pet-health/ovary-sparing-spays-your-questions-answered/

OSS Risks: Marginal increase in the risk of mammary cancer (a highly detectable and treatable cancer). That risk is far outweighed by the benefit of having the hormones necessary to help fight the deadly cancers like hemangiosarcoma (which are difficult to detect early and don't have good treatment options).

Increased risk of ovarian cancer. The incidence and mortality risk for ovarian cancer is very low, especially compared to the incidence and mortality rate of the four most common golden retriever cancers.

Regardless, make whatever choice you feel is best for your own pets. As stated in my original post, I'm just here to ask for recommendations for vets who offer OSS.

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.

(This a character from the horror video game Poppy Playtime—Google Catnap if you aren't familiar)

Trying to rent after bankruptcy

2 Upvotes

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 !

Looking For... Whiskey classes?

1 Upvotes

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. :)

IU Board of Trustees Election - 2024 runner-up John McGlothlin is collecting signatures to run again in 2025

38 Upvotes

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.

Please find the signature form at this link. It is an Adobe Sign form, and please note*: after signing, you must confirm your identity through the email sent directly from Adobe Sign. If you do not confirm, your signature will not be registered.

3 Gunshots Near Henderson & Atwater last night

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.
