A man in a red Speedo was walking around Barton Springs today fully erect while there were many children present. Just gross and inappropriate! It took someone complaining to a lifeguard later in his parade around the pool for it to finally be addressed.
If you see something like this, you can and should report it to a lifeguard!

I know someone who died last week on Lake Travis and there are no news stories about it. I think this is extremely weird but my wife acts like it isn't and she's actually saying there's something wrong with me for thinking this is weird. Guy was in his 20s. He was with tons of friends who knew he went missing basically right away. Called the police right away. They searched for him but his body wasn't found until the next day. This happened a week ago and there isn't a single article or news story about it.

Watched these two idiots cut each other off and hit each other at an intersection. It looked like one of the cars hit the breaks a little too abruptly and the other one clipped it…..

Love my hometown 🔥

As the title says, I recently moved from Austin but grew up there my whole life. I now in live DC and having a reliable metro system is groundbreaking compared to driving.

What are some of the arguments against it. The Price tag can be reasoned with because of COVID costs. Lack of funding b/c of COVID causes back tracking, and the political nature of trains today.

Do we think Austinites are more mad at lawmakers or city council for failing because of lobbyists for cars. Or is it a case of

“Train bad, Diverse people on train. I like tech and cars more. I am wasting my tax dollars on this.”

And if we are mad at this, are we mad at the I-35 expansion and the continuous misrepresentation of the project - not adding trees or wide enough side walks on rebuilt bridges and rising costs on their end too.

Word has come down the wire to snake hq that there has been a bumper crop of Coachwhip sightings this year and reaidents are demanding answers.

Who is this extra slinky fellow? What business does he have in that field? Did i just see him eating a crispy half-toad on the side of Bee Cave rd?

It may come as no surprise to find out they are called coachwhips because they look like a whip. In olden times people in grim backwoods hollers ran with this and the urban legend became that they not only relished whipping unsuspecting travelers, but that, instead of slithering, they put their tails in their mouths and rolled around like old bike tires. Word had it that if you crossed their turf in no time at all you’d see him roll up on you to teach you a lesson.

Sadly, this isn’t real and they just slither around like every other legless homie. They do, however, raise their head up cobra-style when they’re out hunting. This allows them to peer down at any insect, mouse or reptile small enough to eat. They’ll even eat a small rattlesnake or some absolutely minging roadkill remnants.

They are harmless and venom-free but will defend themselves with some good old fashioned biting and pooping if you chase them down (they are fast to slither away) so don’t do that to yourself. Hiss hiss.

Seen at the Pease park trail today around 9:30am, let me know!

you probably can’t hear, but the crickets are giving some nice triplets

I’m not sure if our government is using another form of voter suppression, but this is just a curiosity: is anyone else experiencing this due to the current political climate?

Last week, when I checked my voter registration through the Texas Secretary of State's website portal, I received this error: “You cannot view your voter information due to your voter status.”

However! I noticed that the Travis County Tax Office can also do a lookup. I found my voter account listed twice—once active and once undefined.

I've never had this problem since moving back to Texas nearly 10 years ago, but I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this on their account.

My husband is in the early stages of a terminal illness. We are seeking a death doula to help him transition as comfortably and peacefully as possible. Someone with experience and referrals is preferred.

(ARFID = avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder)

Preferably someone that takes insurance, but I’m open to self paying if necessary.

In the last several weeks/to a month we've noticed a very high uptick in Amazon not fulfilling orders correctly. Deliveries that were claimed to have been made with zero photo confirmation, and are nowhere in site (no porch pirate issues in this neighborhood far as I can tell), orders partially fulfilled with one item missing, delivery dates constantly getting pushed back or going into unknown status...is anyone else seeing these kind of issues in Austin?

I know even at the best of times there's a lot of issues with relying on Amazon, but now it's starting to feel like there's even less reason to do so as you have all the general reasons that they suck and they aren't even maintaining convenience in their favor anymore.

If you’re not here already not sure it’ll be worth coming later. None of the activities are happening as planned on their website, hit capacity after being open maybe 30 min, let folks in buying tickets before members who purchased ahead. Just a total shitshow IMO! Won’t be doing events here again.

I was at the Brandi Carlile Sunday show and it was amazing!!! She is such an incredible performer. I want to make a playlist of the set list to go back and remember for years to come, but I can’t remember exactly what she played, here’s what I have so far:

Returning to Myself
Human
War With Time
Woman Oversees
Turpentine
You Without Me
The Mother
The Story
No One Knows Us
You And Me On The Rock
(What was that Bonnie Raitt song she played?)
The Joke
Hold Out Your Hand
A Long Goodbye
Pink Pony Club

Hoping the wisdom of the crowd can help encapsulate this beautiful evening 😄😄

First time home owner looking for handyman recommendations. Is it worth it to go through ABC? Located in North Austin (short drive to Domain). Looking for odds/ends work and need a gable screen fixed. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I lost a set of Jeep car keys somewhere along the Lady Bird Trail today. I’m not sure exactly where they fell, but they may have been along the trail or near YETI when I use the bathroom there.
If you happened to find a set of Jeep keys, please send me a DM with a description of the keychain/keys so I can confirm they’re mine. I’d really appreciate any help getting them back. Thank you!

I have several batteries dead batteries I want to properly dispose of. I live in the St John’s area.
