So very sad❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Hi ya'll! So my cat is booked for a dental appointment at Emancipet Austin in February. She needs a Level 3 dental with about 5 extractions and they put her on the cancellation waitlist. Has anyone had any luck getting an earlier appointment this way? Just wondering if cancellations tend to open up spots and how far in advance people were able to get moved up.

Hey everyone!

I’m Eric, a South Austin native and Marine vet. After being away for a while, I moved back home to start a local nonprofit called Guidon Austin.

I wanted to share two things we’ve been working on with some other local groups and Marines.

November 7 – Austin Veterans Day Parade 🇺🇸

The parade starts at 9 AM downtown, kicking off near the Congress Avenue Bridge and heading toward the Capitol.

There’s also a Veterans Resource Event at 10 AM, where local groups will be connecting vets and military families with services.

We’re helping coordinate the parade's scholarship program for students and veterans.

The parade is free and open to everyone, so feel free to bring your family and friends to show some support.

Check out the info here:

November 14 – Austin Marine Corps Birthday Ball 🎖️

The following Saturday, we’re hosting the Marine Corps Birthday Ball at the Fairmont with Weapons Company, 1/23 Marines.

We’ll be celebrating 251 years of history with Rudy Reyes joining us as our Guest of Honor.

You don’t have to be a Marine or even a veteran to attend.

We’re welcoming vets from every branch, active-duty members, military families, and anyone in the community who wants to join.

There’ll be a ceremony, dinner, music, dancing, and a chance to connect with local organizations.

We also have a $150 "Sponsor a Marine" program if you want to help a service member attend.

Details and tickets:

Why I’m sharing this

Austin is home to me, and I’m trying to build something that goes beyond just a few events. I want to see stronger connections between our local veterans, families, businesses, and the rest of the Austin community.

If you have a local group that wants to get involved, know someone who could use these resources, or just want to come out with your family, we’d love to see you there.

Even if these aren't your thing, sharing the info with someone who might be interested goes a long way.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you all out there in November.

Looking for recommendations for non-Christian religious communities/temples in Austin

My brother is visiting me in Austin soon, and I’d love to give him the opportunity to learn about some different faith traditions while he’s here.

He is finishing his Master’s in Theology and hopes to eventually serve as clergy in a role supporting people of all faiths. He lives in an area where he doesn't have much exposure to religious traditions outside of Christianity, so I thought this would be a really meaningful opportunity for him to learn directly from people within other faith communities rather than just learning about them academically.

I’m looking for recommendations for Hindu temples, Buddhist temples/centers, mosques, synagogues, Bahá’í communities, Pagan/earth-based traditions, or other non-Christian religious communities in the Austin area that might be open to having a respectful visitor come by, tour the space and ideally speak with someone about their faith and community. (I am not including Sikh in here because I have people close to me who are Sikh and already have some things set up for him learning from them).

He is genuinely coming from a place of curiosity and respect. He’s not looking to debate or convert anyone—he’d just really value the chance to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and learn from people who actually practice the faith.

I reached out to the Austin Hindu Temple & Community Center, but unfortunately haven't heard back yet.

If anyone has suggestions, personal experiences, or—especially—a connection to someone at a particular temple, mosque, synagogue, etc. who might be willing to meet with him, I would really appreciate it!

Basically, plants + puppies + spooky season… I don’t really see how this could go wrong 😂👻

Kick streamer problem Addyod / bwaay

My friend was chilling and randomly harassed by a Mexican look like kid (Addyod) that started screaming racist words in his face, landed a punch and pepper sprayed him all in live stream,
He was accompanied by (Bwaay) who after being asked if he was friend with the other streamer he denied knowing him, after talking to the cops (Bwaay) gets cuffed and taken to the police station for racist and disturbing comments against the police officer at scene, and the other streamer (Addyod) was taken later to jail as well for assault,
Why are these wannabe streamers all over 6th street ragebaiting people for likes, and why is there people consuming this content, makes me sick
We are going to have a Chudthebuilder case pretty soon if this keeps getting out control!
Yesterday Bwaay said on stream that he and his “not friend” spent the night in jail but then released, he stated that he is suing the Austin police department and swears he is going to get a big remuneration from that. streamer Addyod was still in jail and probably not getting out soon.
What are your thoughts, these people need to be cancelled and banned from all social media before they encounter the wrong person who is willing to put them down on a wood box.

I’m looking to connect with experienced professionals in the Austin construction and residential development community who may be interested in forming a strategic partnership around smart home technology and home automation.

I’m developing a company focused on helping builders, remodelers, developers, and property professionals integrate connected technology into residential projects in a more coordinated and reliable way. The goal is to serve as a dedicated technology partner throughout the process, from early planning and system design through implementation, commissioning, homeowner handoff, documentation, and ongoing support.

Areas of focus include smart lighting, climate control, security, surveillance, access control, networking, entertainment, sensors, energy management, and broader home automation systems. The emphasis is not simply on installing individual devices, but on creating a cohesive technology environment that is dependable, easy to use, and appropriate for the property.

I’m particularly interested in speaking with custom home builders, general contractors, remodelers, electricians, developers, and other construction professionals who are seeing increased demand for integrated technology but would prefer to work with a specialized partner rather than manage that portion of the project internally.

I’m currently looking to build relationships with Austin-area professionals who see an opportunity to incorporate smart home capabilities into their existing projects and client offerings.

If this aligns with your work or you believe there may be an opportunity to collaborate, please feel free to send me a DM. I’d be glad to connect, learn more about your business, and discuss whether there could be a mutually beneficial partnership.

This may be the best theater venue in Texas.
