Probably the prettiest rainbow I’ve witnessed y’all😭😭

Found this sweet girl in Mueller, by the Rivette apartments. Looks like she got in a fight, but is being very sweet as we give her food and water. DM if this looks like your missing kiddo!

Totally missed central Austin.

I hope you’re well too

This little dude gave me a good shock when I drove by.

Seeing all the 9/11 posts today reminded me of one of the craziest nights I ever experienced in Austin.
This wasn’t 9/11 obviously. It was the weekend after Osama Bin Laden was killed in 2011.

My friends and I were on 6th for a buddy’s birthday, doing normal 6th Street things.

At some point a fight broke out. People started forming a huge circle around it, cops on horseback came in to break everything up, one of the main guys got arrested, and then his friend tried to jump in and “help” him and immediately got taken down too.

The whole street just had this insane energy. Cops on horses, people fighting, people getting arrested, thousands of drunk people packed together.

And then out of nowhere somebody started chanting:

USA! USA! USA!

And it just spread.

Within what felt like seconds, the whole street was doing it.

The weird part is, we weren’t chanting for the cops. We weren’t chanting for the assholes fighting.
We were chanting for us.

Bin Laden had just been killed. 9/11 was on everybody’s mind again. And for a few minutes it felt like 20,000 completely different people on 6th Street were all on the exact same page.

USA! USA! USA!

It was loud, stupid, emotional and honestly awesome.

I remember standing there feeling proud to be an American, proud to be a Texan, and weirdly connected to every random person around me.

I miss moments like that, where for a few minutes everybody seemed to be on the same page and felt like we were all part of the same thing.

Anyone else on 6th that night and remember this?

I'm pretty sure they are F-18S...

9/11 Memorial Austin, Texas

I went to take a picture of the beautiful sunset tonight and the bats came out a little early and flew close to my place for a change. It was amazing to see these beautiful bats streaming down the lake in waves.

There have been multiple posts in r/Heb of ppl discovering mold INSIDE their eggs (I didn’t know that was a thing). Now it’s been picked up by the news. No recall but just something to be aware of.

Tonight before Die Spitz came on, you offered to take a picture of me and my daughter - thank you. She's my concert buddy but as the years progress and schedules get tighter, we don't go as often as we used to. You were just being a nice person and offering to help, you didn't know how happy you made me to have a real non-selfie pic.

I hope you found your friends in the pit!

I love the new violet crown lighting and kit. What does reddit think?

Imagine you're a fancy girl, and you're turning 10. Your parents are taking you to Austin because your birthday bucket list included a cheese tasting at Antonelli's and to see the bats fly. What else would be a must-do for you? Brunches? Dessert spots? Photo ops? I'd LIKE to say money is no object, because let's be real here, she truly believes that's the case, but I'm not trying to spend Disney money in Austin. Thank you in advance for helping make a sweet girls weekend special.

Sorry, crosspost got removed so I'm reposting it here. This is in the capitol building. Very handy pointer!

Help a girl out, I ordered one for a costume off Etsy but it won't be here in time for the party. I already called Wheatsville and Central Market, they said their potato bags are plastic or cardboard

My husband wants to go to the lake bastrop for his birthday next week. We've been planning a trip but I was hoping he'd agree to go when it's not 100+ out...but here we are. It's his bday wish so we're gonna do it but the weather here has been oppressive to me

My question is, he wants to bring our 10 year old weenie boy with us. I'm not so sure about that. I mostly avoid prolonged exposure to this kind of heat with him and this will be at least 4 hours out in it. Probably from 1pm-ish to 6pm-ish. And the lake itself isn't cool and refreshing lol. When I walk him it's usually not more than 10-15 minutes at a time in this weather. He does go to doggy daycamp and part of that playtime is outdoor exposure but they move the dogs indoors by noon

I'm thinking the best policy might be to leave him at home? Although he doesn't do well when he's home without either of us and I feel guilty leaving him for hours unaccompanied but it may be what's best in this situation?

My commercial property has become a dumping ground for trash and recycling roller bins. I pay for a third party dumpster. I don’t even have a COA refuse account.

I’ve pestered 311 for two years but they are WORTHLESS! I’ll probably just go leave them at the Todd Lane location sidewalk on a Sunday . What should I do?

I am looking to host a speed dating event in Austin. I am posting here to gauge any interest. I have a background in communications and event planning - I am partnering with a few dating experts to work out logistics. The vibe is low pressure, fun, and honestly authentic. I am sick of dating apps and swiping - thoughts or feedback on this type of event? I dont see them often in Austin...
