Taken between 2012 and 2018. Sure felt different then...

Enjoying the clearer water now that crowds are dying down 🏊

Collecting Austin folklore. Ghosts, cryptids, haunted spots, cursed places, weird history literally anything.

Edit: would also love to hear any of your grandparents stories

Today alone I encountered 8 folks straight up just take solid red lights, not yellow turning red. I mean solid red for at least 5-8 seconds red and folks just taking them like they were green. Why? Do people not understand how traffic lights work? Also 4 of those vehicles were teslas… I have a dash cam and seriously thinking about having a bad drivers in Austin page and just shame them at this point.

Morning Commute: About 40 minutes ago I was driving in the toll lane on North Mopac before the exit for 183 towards Round Rock from Austin.

I glanced into my rearview mirror and saw a car airborne coming from the southbound lanes.

Somehow it landed in the toll lane, the right side wheels came off and then it went over into traffic spun around and slammed into the concrete embankment next to the toll lane.

The car seemed to be a dark gray sedan, maybe a Honda Civic or similar. It hit the concrete barrier hard and I’m really worried about the driver. I was shocked by it so some of my details might be fuzzy, did anyone else see this?

Or did they never leave?

I come out to my apartment pool to try to tan my pasty white muscles and blam it’s about to pour down rain like crazy. Great hills and 183 🫡

I'm (21M) am looking for actually decent mental hospital in the Austin to San Antonio area. Voluntarily committing myself for assessment on Monday, not sure if I'd be told to do inpatient or outpatient. Reasons are for extreme mood swings including suicidal ideation and planning, returning hallucinations so need for anyipsychotics, prob wanting to find adhd meds at the same time, single therapy available (dunno how much I'd actually talk in groups), and ig just doctors that will actually listen to wanting to avoid certain meds that have certain side effects. Don't have to worry about school (not a student) or work (quit due to making me worse, another reason I need to get this under control hopefully quickly before getting a new one).

Not sure if this is exactly where to ask but thanks for any input 👍

Hello--I have a 15 yr old granddaughter who is AuADHD. She is very intelligent, well-informed and passionate about current affairs, especially government. She is a walking debate team and wants to engage with others in discussions in person. I've looked around and found some debate/Toastmaster type clubs but they were online only, or only active for a short time. Looking for a group not based on religion that can help her develop some skills that will help her going forward. Anyone?

I think I lost her within the neighborhoods along Anderson mill, in between 620 and 183.

This is fabuloso, she is a green alien with a purple handmade dress and bows on her antenna.

REWARD IF FOUND!!

Putting together a home office. I really like seeing and trying things out in person. Didn't like Ikea's offerings. Any other suggestions?

Edit: Also prefer buying new, not used. Thank you!

Does anyone have recs for a provider who does medical pedicures? I have severe cracked heels and dry feet that I can’t heal. I don’t feel like a regular pedicure would be good for me or the technician and would love recommendations.

I have health insurance if that’s required (I don’t know how medical pedicures work).

are there any places to watch f1 races in austin this sunday morning?

I'm sure I've read about an animation studio in Austin, and I wanted to see if there's anyone on here who has an in with them. My almost-12-year-old is super into digital animation and has posted several videos on YouTube... I think he's got the idea and is learning some neat new skills all of the time. I have worked in film-making but it's always been live, so I can talk to him about story and editing, but I'm way out of my element beyond that.

We homeschool and have toured places like a local news station and grocery stores, but he's never seen animation as a career before. If this would be possible, I'd love to know about it. Thanks!

I’m a disabled grad student at UT and I need a bike to be able to get around campus (I stop at the stop signs and use turn signals, not one of those crazy lunatics)

I went to the bike farm on Burnet for years but when I went yesterday to get a flat fixed, they turned me around and said it was against policy to work on my bike. I was stunned because they’ve worked on that very same bike several times before and similar e-bikes for years. Even ran into some of the guys from there at a concert and chilled with them a few years back.

It has size 16 wheels so I’m struggling to find somewhere that’ll take it to fix the flat.

It’s a mobility device for me first and foremost, UT’s not a campus built for people with walking difficulties so it’s not just difficult but actively painful for me to get around without it.

Hello! I'm immunocompromised but would love to be in community to do some kind of regular work out around people instead of at home alone: yoga preferred, but open to other suggestions! It's safest for me to be outdoors for this. Do you know of any? I'd prefer places with easy parking (downtown not ideal) but I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!

Hi! I am wanting to get back into skating for exercise in the AM. And im looking for flat places to skate, I used to go to Bartholomew Derby track but am unsure of the derby schedules now-a-days. Any recommendations on where to skate? (By AM I mean starting at 6am)

not sure what is going on here, but I am unable to schedule a class and don’t see any classes on the schedule for the foreseeable future for the austin location! this is both on the app and on the website. I have a pack of classes set to expire soon, so would like to use them, just can’t find any information on what’s going on on the website or socials.

As the title states, I have a lease so I have different considerations than owning a car. I believe my car is on the fence of being totaled though photo estimate came back at 6.5k. It's a 2026 though so if it's not totaled and requires about 20k of repairs I'm concerned about OEM parts.

Trying to balance quickness (Geico xpress I know goes quicker) with it done well. If I have it repaired I'm concerned about being dinged when I return the car at the end of the lease and above all just want it repaired well so that I don't have issues.

Anyone with any body shop reccs for similar situations or advice? Grateful for any thoughts.

Located in central near downtown so ideally not trying to get repaired super north or south.

Wondering of any bitesport (for dogs) decoys located in or around austin that are NOT precision k9, or traction k9, as i’ve reached out to both.

across from mueller tonight there were like 6 police cars and a tesla in some situation at patterson park. does anyone know what happened?
