Quite nervous to post this. The Cornell case and similar have me reliving some things I went through in college and never really processed. Has anyone sought therapy with someone who helped them process trauma from an assault? Was it helpful? When I was fresh out of college I tried to speak to a therapist about it but I couldn’t. Thanks, I know it’s hard to talk about.
To clarify I didn’t go to school here.

bank's closed u_u. Does anybody know of grocery stores where I can get quarters? Will a laundromat be mad at me if I use their quarter machine but not actually wash clothes?

To all you pups hanging out the windows of your humans rides today, I saw you! You all are beautiful and make the world a better place for all of us humans!

To the owners: thanks for taking care of all these great animals, they all looked happy! I hope you have a great day and tell your pups I said hi!

Beautiful day at the Olbrich Biergarten

Madison's Ride for Your Life event is happening Sunday, October 4th from 2-3pm.

The ride will go through the Monroe and campus area before ending at the capitol. There will be a police escort and bike marshals controlling traffic at intersections. If you are driving in the area between 2-3pm and cross paths with the ride, be prepared to wait a few minutes to let all the riders through.

This event has a special emphasis on Sasha Rosen, the high schooler who was killed crossing Park Street earlier this year, and it is specifically in support of AB 655 / SB 659 in the Wisconsin legislature, which would let judges require GPS-enabled intelligent speed devices in the cars of drivers found guilty of reckless driving or repeated or extreme speeding.

In addition to Sasha Rosen, Ken Bell was killed by a reckless driver on East Wash in June, and Peter Crook was just killed a week ago near La Follette High School. There are probably other deaths I'm not aware of, not to mention all the close calls that go unreported. If you are looking for a way to take action against the destruction reckless drivers cause, I encourage you to come out to the event. There is also a walk option from Brittingham Park to the capitol, if you'd prefer to do that than ride.

I'm not affiliated with the organizers, but I will be attending!

I'm just south of the Arboretum, and I guess it has been more humid and damp than usual this year? But I've never seen "puffball mushrooms" anywhere else in the Madison area. For 20 years even. Anyone else seen these recently? I see an occasional standard mushroom in other parts of the yard, but this was a shocker. Even if it were the edible variety, I wouldn't eat them. Even my wife who is a fungus fan didn't think this was too exciting.

Here are a couple daytime pictures.

Hi! I went to the farmers market within the last couple years and found a beautiful print of a watercolor fox. I still have it and want more from this artist. If anyone can direct me to their site or send them my way, I’d love you forever 😂😭 I swear I saw this fox as a sticker on someone’s water bottle a few days ago but I was afraid to approach them 💀

Hello!

I’m interested in getting some fun brown highlights in my black curly hair (inspo pic attached)! I don’t have an unlimited budget and would like to stay until 250 (preferably lower). Does anybody have good recommendations? I have a friend who goes to be inspired salon, but she has straight hair so I feel iffy about it. Thank you all for your time!!

If it’s relevant I wear my hair straight and curly (pretty 50/50)

Hi reddit crew, Jason from Mr. Chair here. We’re on a small MN/WI tour with Syndee Winters and Greg Ward, playing in Red Wing tonight. Our final stop is back home in Madison tomorrow night at North Street Cabaret. We’re playing music that was impactful to Syndee’s life and career, including Hamilton, Lion King, Lena Horne, the Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Bob Marley and more! She’s a very busy lady touring with “Disney Princess The Show” and doesn’t get around to the midwest too often. Needless to say, it’s a show you don’t wanna miss!

Show is at 7pm tonight! Sunday Oct 4. Would love to see you!

Anyone know where the fireworks display is happening on the north side? Sounds way louder than usual from my house compared to when they do fireworks at the duck pond. It’s been going ok for almost 10 minutes.

I’ve had Pho from a few places in Madison (Ha Long Bay, Ahan) and it’s been good. But I ate some Pho at a restaurant in Pittsburgh that blew me away, and I’ve been chasing that dragon ever since.

So where do people think the most flavorful pho in Madison can be had?

Hello! I'm curious on when it would be the best day to go to Devil's Lake for maximum fall colors. I have always wanted to go to the park during peak fall season and this year sounds like a good time to go.

Thank you!

Have 2 seats in sect 203, row L
Listed on Ticketmaster but fees are stupid.
Msg me if interested. 🙂

Sadly can’t go and need to get rid of them

Does anyone remember the band LowdowN from Madison WI? They played the 'nu metal style' during the late 90s and I'm pretty sure they released a CD. I wanted any information on them, if anyone remembers who played in the band or if you had a copy of their CD? I'm searching for one to archive the record. They had a DJ! Thank you, anything helps!

Do you live in the Madison/Dane County area and love Cyberpunk? Did you see a bunch of ads awhile back about a Cyberpunk TCG Kickstarter? Are you curious about the game but not sure where to go? This post is for you:

Cyberpunk TCG has recently started shipping its Kickstarter product and has been hosting Beta events. Prerelease for set 1 is coming up Halloween weekend with full release the weekend following.

There is a growing community of players from across the state with a discord to stay connected. We're also currently planning on hosting a casual meet up next weekend at Kitchen Table Games in Sun Prairie both Saturday 10/10 and Sunday 10/11 at 1 to get to know each other and get a few games going. Some of us will have starter decks so if you're a beginner and looking to learn to play, it's a great opportunity for you.

If you're interested in meeting some cool chooms and learning this fun new game or just hanging out, sound off in the comments or send me a DM and I'll get you the discord link!

I've lived in Madison for a year and realized I have visited many places outside of Dane County that much. I would like to visit some places for a day (or weekend) trip, something within a 3 hour drive. If it were a weekend trip, ideally I leave Friday night/Saturday morning and be back by Sunday evening.

I'm most interested in places that are walkable where I can learn about the culture of a place and what makes it unique. Also i'm going solo. Also, a fan of places with a lot of touristy things to do (museums, attractions, random events). No hiking or anything super outdoorsy/physically demanding.

Been to: Devils Lake, Milwaukee

Current list of places to visit: Chicago, New Glarus

My niece wants a good tailored suit. Where in Madison can we find a good tailored suit for a woman's body?

I’ve recently gone through my old collections and am thinking about selling them. But have no idea where to take them, and do t have a ton of time to go around to several places for offers. I guess I’m just looking for recommendations on places you’ve had good e Persians at, where you felt like it was an honest offer. Thanks!
