In the past two weeks I've had three people tell me, unprompted, "you really have that Bloomington look." It was said as a compliment but I don't know what it means. Help me decipher this, #HoosierMastodon

Stop Hateful Campaign Against LGBTQ Hoosiers

Indiana legislators have launched an unprecedented attack on LGBTQ Hoosiers, filing a record number of anti-LGBTQ bills. Many of the bills in the #IndianaSlateOfHate aim to push trans people, especially trans youth, out of public life. Take action to stop these hateful bills! #INLegis

First day of #INLegis and there's already a terrifying mob of pro-lifers threatening and harassing people outside chambers at the #Indiana Statehouse. Totally fine. Totally normal behavior by totally sane people.

My dad (Les Levine) majored in #PoliSci at #OhioState & had a 50-yr career in CLE sports media. He started at #witz in Jasper, IN. According to this 1970 Dubois County Herald article he polled callers re: Sen. Birch Bayh's elections reform amendment, which most supported.

My brother and I unearthed this while going through some of Dad's files. Given my own profession as a researcher and my passion for civic engagement, finding this was a gift and a connection.

Over 31% of Hoosiers want the General Assembly to focus on lowering health care costs. Only 9% prioritize public health programs, but investing in these are critical for long-term health outcomes (and, therefore, costs). #HoosierMast #HoosierMastodon #PublicHealth #Healthcare #PublicPolicy #governing #GeneralAssembly

UPDATE: A generous soul donated the remaining $300 to help this family stay housed!! Thank you so much to everyone who donated and spread the word. 💛

Hey all—Circle City Mutual Aid is trying to raise funds for a single mother facing eviction. She has no family to help and needs $500 to remain in her home. CCMA has raised $200 / $500 of the needed funds. Let’s give the gift of community love and support this holiday season to keep this family housed.

If you would like to support CCMA in this endeavor, donate to $CircleCityMutualAid on CashApp and add a red heart emoji (❤️) in the notes to indicate that these funds are going directly to the mother.

Happy holidays and stay safe in the winter storm everyone. 💙❄️

This attack on Dr. Bernard is an attack on the entire medical profession in Indiana. Hospitals are already struggling to fill medical professional shortages in the state and the AG’s witch hunt will only make Indiana a less appealing place for doctors to practice.
