Let’s get Batty, Indiana! 🦇 Help us make the Indiana bat our official state mammal!

For anyone who hasn't heard about our grassroots campaign yet, Our State, Our Bat is a citizen led effort to designate our incredible native Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) as our official state mammal! 🦇💚

What started as a simple idea has grown into an amazing statewide movement. Thanks to community members stepping up, we’ve already secured official municipal support, organizational backing, and best of all, a state representative who is officially authoring the bill for the upcoming 2027 legislative session!

Now, we are in the final home stretch. Our petition is currently sitting at 4,231 signatures, and our goal is to hit 5,000 by the end of this month when the campaign concludes, so we can prep our complete legislative packet.

We need all the support we can get from our local neighbors to cross that finish line. If you haven't signed yet, please take a quick second to add your name, and help us spread the word to your friends, family, and local groups.

Let’s make our little Hoosier Heroes official, Indiana! Sign the petition here: https://c.org/JrdDXNvVh8

Speculation into Ron Alting's pinching proclivity - and should he be positively punished?

Everyone wants to know what's in Ron's pockets. Marbles? Bagged mashed potatoes? Laundry detergent bound for marketplace?

What's in there, Ron?

Tons of sirens?

I just heard a parade of sirens coming from what sounded like the east side of Lafayette going through close to downtown to the west side of Lafayette. Does anybody know what the hell's going on?

Pride lafayette meetings

Hi! I'm considering going to some of the trans nights at pride lafayette. Do people actually show up? I don't want to go if it'll be really small and awkward. I'm too shy for that lol.

Skimmers around Lafayette

I’ve had quite a few people mention getting extra charges on their bank accounts from places they haven’t been and for rather large amounts. Please be safe and watch where you’re inserting/swiping your card!!

Buying my first car

Hi everyone! I'm a student at Purdue looking for my first car, and honestly I don't know much about the process. So, I was wondering if you can help me with a few questions:

  1. Which dealerships around Lafayette/West Lafayette have you had good experiences with? Any I should avoid?
  2. How do you negotiate with dealers? What fees are normal and which ones not?
  3. Does paying cash vs. financing change how much room I have to negotiate?
  4. Any local mechanic you'd recommend for a pre-purchase inspection?

Any other advice for a first time buyer is very welcome. Thanks!

Part Time Work Any Recs?

Hello Lafayette,

I'm thinking of finding some part time work between 4pm and 9pm during the week. On the weekends between 5pm and 10pm. Ideally something around $20/hr.

I've got a few holiday expenses coming up and I'm a salary employee so I don't qualify for overtime. Some extra cash would help a lot.

As for my work experience I've done all sorts of things when I was in college, I've got a BS. I'm open to any decent ideas!

I was a math tutor (arithmetic, algebra, pre-calc, calc I) before for younger students (8-15) but it's a lot smaller here in Lafayette for finding people who need help.

Thank you.
