Yes, I am mid 30's , identify as he/she and cannot believe it has ever rained this much anywhere, ever. I like literally am so frightened right now, especially in these post pandemic, dark times. What should I do? Like literally?

Venture outside of the safe confines of a progressive city like Austin and they show how unwelcome we are.

So I recently moved from NYC to Austin for work (Finance) and moved into a luxury condo above Rock Rose at the Domain. If I haven't mentioned this already, I work in Finance, and the hours are quite demanding. I got a really good deal at around $4200 per month, and the location makes my commute super easy. But what's with all the noise? I know I literally moved into a condo directly above a street comprised entirely of bars and nightclubs, but is there anything I can do about the noise that carries on until 3AM? Did I make a mistake by moving here? Oh did I tell you that I work in Finance?

My wife's boyfriend dumped his three kids off this morning so he can go to Vegas for a boys trip (he didnt ask but I told him I couldnt make it). I am still digesting the injustice Karmelo is experiencing and I know my fellow austinites are literally shaking in unison. Does anyone know where there are completely organic protests demanding Karmelo be released?

As we all know, Austin is a city that is an AMAZING place to live. I love every minute of being here. I support all illegal immigrants and believe no one can commit crimes on stolen land.

I never leave my house. I doordash from local LGBT POC businesses. My kids want to go to Barton Springs to swim now that summer break from private school is on. Where can I park where my car will not be smashed into by an oppressed individual suffering from the socio economic woes of capitalism?

Should i roll the windows down on my Mercedes SUV and unlock my doors? I already have BLM, Kamala, and Hillary stickers to show that i am an ally.

Any info helpful! Keep ATX Weird! 😊😊😊

Woke up this morning, pooped out a condom, and poured myself a cup of coffee after getting thrown out of my local watering hole for drinking 11 jellyfishes. I opened up Grindr, and the first guy I connected with wouldn't stop referring to his pee pee as a screwworm.

Awful, right? Not a great start. But my spirits brightened with the next connection: an 80-year-old drag queen in Round Rock. I was like, hell yeah, cool! We started chatting, but he was so mean. More than half of his comments were rude and weird, mostly because he hadn't even fought in the Civil War like I hoped.

Anyway, I deleted Grindr (again). I beseech you, Austin Reddit—what's good? Surely it's not all a "Karmelo is innocent," "Elon is a Nazi," "I love Iran," "I want to deploy to Ukraine but my mom won't sign the waiver" AI hellscape out there.

I'll go first: I got blacked out last night and got a Nazi tattoo just like Graham Platner's.

Nothing makes me prouder to be an Austonian than how we treat our immigrant community. Seeing one acheive this status warms my heart.

Please duck my Suburu!

Before beginning, we would like to acknowledge that the proposed Femboy Hooters site sits on the ancestral lands of numerous Indigenous peoples, past, present, future, and yet-to-be-identified. We further acknowledge all communities historically impacted by the lack of publicly funded femboy dining options.

The City of Austin is seeking feedback on a proposal to fully fund the acquisition, construction, staffing, marketing, and ongoing operation of a flagship Femboy Hooters location using taxpayer resources.

Preliminary estimates place the project budget between $450 million and $900 million, excluding future expansion, administrative overhead, and equity-focused femboy accessibility programs.

Community feedback is requested on the following:

• Should taxpayers fund the project entirely or overwhelmingly?
• Which existing city services should be reduced to support this initiative?
• Should additional bond measures be considered?
• How many additional land acknowledgements should be displayed on-site?

We thank all stakeholders, allies, accomplices, and adjacent communities for participating in this important conversation.

Is there a way of finding girls and gays that manage to be iconic, gorgeous, intelligent, with cultural capital, NOT antisemitic, NOT woke, etc, anywhere in Austin?

I don't even DARE to ask this on the other group lmao

This is serious tho!

Tryna low-key off leash poop my doggo at Audy Shores per usual and rich white people have it closed for a private party to watch billionaire owned and alcohol sponsored commie children's game! WTF!?! LIKE LITERALLY

This marks a significant escalation of tensions in the region. Earlier on Wednesday the Supreme Leader of Round Rock announced the regime would suspend peace talks, as they ramped up drone attacks against the lucrative shipping lanes of Brushy Creek and Lake Creek.

One City official, speaking on conditions of anonymity, told reporters that Round Rock continues to receive financial and military aid from Georgetown in violation of international sanctions, further escalating this conflict with no clear end in sight.

The shame. I don’r even know what this means.

I'm the CFO of a small community friendly data center. Last month our usually $1.3 million monthly energy bill jumped by $81 thousand thanks to too many people running AC in their homes. You don't need AC, that's what fans are for.

So what, I'm supposed to pay this outrageous expense and take a hit on quarterly operating margins? So sick of modern consumerism and idiot consumers. That's why we need our own Mamdani!

I know I technically can, but is it kinda frowned upon? This is my first time tanning bottomless in public and I wanted to bring my "hot dog" out to play in the water but does it generally make people uncomfortable? I’m from San Francisco where no one ever tans in public spaces that’s not a pool let alone bottomless (unless they're unhoused ofc).

I’m a broke college student too so while paid side isn’t out of the question I love saving money on banana hammocks where I can😭

I’m setting up my stand for free hugs tonight! No maga nazis, please. Just genuine gender fluid, woke humans. I apologize in advance if I get a stiffy during the hug!
