There have been 3 crashes involving Serious Bodily Injury across Indy this evening.
The first involved a motorcyclist struck by the driver of an SUV, the second being a single-vehicle crash involving a motorcyclist, and the third involving multiple vehicles.

Scored some ramps on a nature walk with the kiddo!
Wild ramps are a leek/onion/garlic relative that grows all over sunny hillsides in this part of the country during the early spring. People are passionate about them - there's festivals and everything.
Dig em up! But always have some behind to propagate next year.
They're great grilled, but we didn't have a ton and I had a bunch of leftover mashed potatoes so, I present to you: ramp latkes!
No morels were found today! But I did come home with a bag full of ramps to serve with dinner tonight and we saw the early mayapples, poked at some spring flowers, and identified some nifty (but quite poisonous!) mushrooms. Not a bad day's walk!
Diego Morales and the non-stop giving season
"Indiana’s laws regarding self-dealing and other forms of financial malfeasance by officeholders would have to be tightened up quite a bit just to be considered lax...he’s a keen enough political observer to know that allowing Hoosier politicians to police themselves on matters of financial propriety leaves loopholes large enough to drive a $90,000 luxury SUV through."
Freeze warning! Get those garden beds covered, #HoosierMast!
Feelin cute, might do magic later.
I don’t ride #IndyGo buses, but a friend is asking if it is helpful to pay for the WiFi…anyone know how reliable or worth it it is?
@matt hey friend! If you are looking for regional instances might I suggest our Indiana instance: Hoosier.Social #hoosiersocial #hoosiermast
Thanks for doing this labor!
I'm really happy and proud that we've reached a place where #HoosierSocial needs to form a steering committee of our users. And thrilled that our users are stepping up to help lead!
So many of the ways that I want to see this instance grow involve building community.
Announcing: The #HOOSIERSOCIAL STEERING COMMITTEE!
@brian and @thekitmalone are no longer sole stewards of this instance!
Three of our fav users volunteered -- so give a big thanks to @ScottStarkey, @KrissyKat and @NefariousAryq!
A bigger team means more cool things for our community! Keep your eye out for some big moves this year! Let's Go!!!
Concerned about utility rate hikes AGAIN??? Use this nifty tool to take literally less than 2 minutes to oppose House Bill 1007, Senate Bill 423, and Senate Bill 424 which would lead to more rate hikes for #hoosier families.
"10 kids were struck by vehicles in 30 days. Safety concerns arise ahead of summer" via Indy Star (Jade Jackson)
"Within a month, 10 kids were struck by vehicles while walking or riding their bikes and one organization wants to bring awareness to drivers ahead of summer when more children will be outside."
Last Wednesday, an EF2 tornado landed 2 miles from my house (we are unharmed). This was followed by heavy rain and significant flooding (we are dry). And there is a freeze warning Monday night.We will have experienced the full spectrum of Midwest April weather in 5 days. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #trees #naturephotography #HoosierMast
![We have many redbud trees in our yard. This photo shows many pink buds along a small branch. The buds will open in another week or two. The eastern redbud is a small tree, native to eastern North America. It's also known as the Judas tree because: 1) a legend states that Judas hanged himself from one of these trees*. The tree, which was tall and had white flowers, became stunted and the flowers turned red, either with shame or to honor the death of Jesus. 2) The redbud blooms around Easter, which is when Judas betrayed Jesus. [*the eastern redbud is native to North America and would not be found in the Middle East, but a related tree that looks similar grows there.]](https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/114/293/973/680/763/847/original/9a7bba4ff466fa08.jpg "We have many redbud trees in our yard.

Welcome to Hoosier.Social!
Reminder: Not a single elected official in Indianapolis spoke out after 10 kids were struck by drivers in a 30-day span.
Zero. None. Not a *single* one spoke up.
Not even 'Thoughts and Prayers' for the victims.
Not even a 'Drivers, pay attention — kids are out' PSA.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Got a selfie with the hardest working advocacy team at the statehouse! ICV crew in effect - they are my favs. #INLegis #HoosierMast
HB1041 passed and while we heard some good fight out of some Dems, far too many turned coward and joined forces with MAGA to vote for this online conspiracy-theorist's fever-dream.
It doesn't make me feel better that they are just following the nationwide trend of throwing #trans people under the bus.
I can only hope they can find the spine to stand with us when MAGA comes back for adult medical care and our IDs.
I'm not confident.
Most trans people just want to update their ID documents so they don’t get harassed—this is about safety, not politics.
Hey #HoosierMast I hope you are safe tonight that was wild
