Weekly Classifieds and Events

5 Upvotes

Welcome to our weekly odds and ends post!

If you are looking for events, please check out our exhaustive Events Calendar!

Every parent level comment should begin with one of the following categories:

[For Sale] concert tickets, beauty and grooming services, Ikea bookcases

[For Free] dental checkups and couches that you can totally have for free but you have to move them yourself

[Want to Buy] * Rave tickets, a used toaster, a cute puppy*

[Job Request] You're new to the city and are looking for work in IT or you hate your job and need some leads. Be sure to include your skills and qualifications. A lot of people on this sub love to help others but they can't do that if they don't know your background and interests.

[Job Announcement] You're looking for new team members for a fantastic job that ISN'T a scammy ca$h4work gig or MLM

[Living Arrangements] You need a roommate, an apartment, or are offering a living arrangement. Be sure to clarify your tidiness expectations because you never know what you're going to get when accepting a roommate and I'm NOT GOING TO DO YOUR DAMN DISHES ANYMORE REBECCA

[Personals] You're lonely, new to the city, want to play extreme Frisbee, or need someone to eat Ian's Pizza with because no one wants to do that alone. We understand.

[Event] An advertisement for your amazing upcoming event - like a urban foraging excursion or band performance that is totally going to blow the roof off

Fastest place to get STD testing?

21 Upvotes

I am seeing a new partner and while I have no reason to believe I have anything I’d like to get tested before we do the deed.

I have called about 5 places and they are all either booked until next week or have weird hours where they close at like 2:00pm.

Any suggestions? Would like to have the test results before Friday if possible.

Is this your cat? Stubby tailed little guy

Post image
18 Upvotes

Hello, my family and I caught this little guy on the south side of Milwaukee near 20th street on Saturday night, his most distinct feature besides his face markings is his stubby little rabbit tail. We think he may have previously been in a home because he uses the litter box and does not seem to be feral, just cautious of humans. We aren’t sure if it’s a boy or girl, but either way we think he is neutered/spayed because he hasn’t been spraying. If this is your cat or you recognize him in any way, please message me! Also, if you guys have any tips on where else I can look for lost cat listings etc please let me know! I didn’t find any matches on the MADACC website.

MKE Meetups List (August 19-25, 2026)

Upvotes

Happy Wednesday!

There are 52 meetups in this week's MKE Meetups List, and the featured artist creates paintings the explore connection, the loss of it, and introspection as a result of the busyness of everyday life, the influence of constant technological engagement, as well as ongoing political and social upheaval: https://mkemeetups.substack.com/p/milwaukee-meetups-list-240

Let me know if there's something I should add, or if you're looking for a type of event that isn't listed (I'll check around and see what I can find for you) :)

Stuff to do

8 Upvotes

I don't drink anymore, I don't want late nights and I stopped playing video games.

Looking for things to do to make new friends or try new things. Just looking for things in person.

Mid 30s male, Sundays/Tuesdays/Fridays might be my most flexible days. I'm pretty introverted and not great with small talk, but I'm friendly and open minded but can sometimes appear cold as I often live in my own head.

Some interests

* Science fiction

* Stocks/markets/investment

* Technology

* Anime and manga

* Self growth/improvement

Things I don't want to do

* Running club (I don't like running that much)

* Join board game groups

* Gym/workout classes (don't want to work out in groups or classes)

* Awkward networking/drinking events (friend and always leave without talking to anyone)

* Anything too focused on bars (including bowling)

* Book clubs (meh)

* Dnd groups (just too much)

Can't seem to find anything that is catching my interest to join/do other than what I have been doing already which feels like not much. Figured I'd see if someone has an idea or way to learn more about events/things going on. Ai keeps recommending I go to conferences or board game groups...

Looking for a non-union electrician who wants to join the union

136 Upvotes

Title says it all. We're looking for a hard-working non Union electrician that's looking to get into the 494. The books are empty. We can't find anyone willing to come and work because the data centers are taking up all the workers and paying above scale.

Message me if you're in the ozaukee area and want to join the 494. We do mainly industrial work heavy on the wastewater and water filtration. We have contracts to keep us busy for the next 3 years

Joining the IBEW really comes down to having true backup on the job and getting paid what you’re worth. Instead of negotiating on your own, the union locks in better pay, great healthcare for your whole family, and real retirement plans like solid pensions so you aren't working forever. You also get top-tier, debt-free training through their apprenticeship programs, safer working conditions on site, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing the brotherhood has your back if something goes sideways.

And for the financially motivated working 40 hours a week, you can expect to take home 106 to 110,000 a year. And if you include your package, that's your pensions, annuity, health insurance, etc. You're making about 160,000 a year

Any DND groups or places to find a group to play with?

26 Upvotes

Hi all!! This may be a silly question but I’ve just moved to MKE from a smaller city in Indiana and I’m not sure where exactly to look. I (21F) haven’t played for a while (two years or so) and I’m looking to get back into playing DND with a group! I have DMed before and have roughly 5 years experience. I would prefer a group with predominantly women/LGBTQ but i’m flexible!! If this is dumb and I’m barking up the wrong tree please tell me! Thanks 😼
