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

In town for a couple days

Hey Reddit, I’m in town for the next couple days for a funeral. Haven’t been back here in probably fifteen years (for another funeral actually). I was far too young to do anything back then so this time I’d like to actually explore.

Just curious what things there are to do in town or a must to check out when visiting?

Thanks much!

Anyone wanna be friends?

Really odd question, I know. I'm posting this here because this is probably the closest sub that has enough activity based on a area that my family frequently goes to about two to three times a month (pretty sure I was also born in this city).

I'm a 21 year old guy who hasn't been able to talk to very many people since I graduated. Most of my acquaintances I tried reaching out to aren't very very active on Facebook or Instagram, but I would love to make new friends from around the Vigo and Vermillion country area, and while I don't live in Terre Haute, like I said I come back here every now and then and know people who went to ISU, Ivy Tech, Purdue, etc., but mainly classmates. I'm a blue collar guy though, I've been working at a season job for about a few years now. I didn't go to college because I didn't want to become a lawyer, doctor, pharmacist, teacher, etc. Art and music has always been my passion.

I was diagnosed as just somewhat autistic, but most have told me they couldn't tell in-person. I enjoy playing Fortnite, and I'm into a lot of silly things such as Bionicle lore and I also enjoy watching YouTubers like Caseoh and AVGN. I've been wanting to get into Kingdom Hearts, so that's probably next. In terms of actual hobbies, I like going fishing but haven't been able to go in quite some time as all the rivers are muddy or too high or low.

But yeah, I'm just so bored. My username on Discord is Saberstealth if anyone wants to me on there. Anyways thank you for reading this, you didn't have to because I know it was a lot haha! Hope everyone has a good day!
