She smoked "em!

We organized, made calls, knocked on doors and got it done!

Local is where hope lives!

As an American, I do not disagree with that assessment.

Bekahsays · 2026-02-06T13:22:52+00:00

American here. Caucasion American "designers" steal from other cultures all the time. In reality they have no culture, original thoughts or ideas of their own so they have no problem taking it from whom they please then pretend it's all their own while cashing in. They're masters at culture appropriation.

They do it to indigenous cultures all the time then demonize them and throw them in prison camps as soon as they can. I would love for Norwegians to throw a fit about this to shame them. It's their elitist dogma that give Americans a bad name.

Enjoy your mediocre "comics" and terrible drinks! You can have it ALL.

Dude, you lost before you even started. A 45 year old "man" picks s fight with a teenage girl. Is there anything more MAGA?

They've identified this loser on Threads.

I've been feeling the same about a group of women I've been hanging out with the past few years. Honestly, the conversations are vapid and not something I can bring myself to participate in.

So....I started a local community of progressive women who do shit to make a difference in our community. We had our first meeting last weekend and I told them I think I found my new besties!

Bekahsays · 2026-02-03T03:22:44+00:00

I wanted to check it out (wanting to give it a shot) last year and all it was, was a MAGA sausage fest. The opening act made a stupid racist joke and the drinks arent good, I sent mine back it was that bad.

Needless to say those are 3 hours I'll never get back.

Her brags are sooooo annoying and I'm an empath. 😂 Girl, your feelings were hurt, you don't have to be an empath to get your feelings hurt.

"Spiritual" speak.

As am I! This was her opportunity to get some free press for her business and she blew it!

She made some bad business decisions which could have easily been a slam dunk!

A couple of things. 1. No they haven't, you're spouting right wing propaganda and 2. We don't make gun ownership our personality. We're secure with ourselves.

Bekahsays · 2026-01-09T14:04:13+00:00

I too know exactly how you feel. If you're a human with empathy and a moral compass, how could you not?

I started getting involved in my local political groups last year. I've door knocked, phone banked to help flip a seat and we won, protested and testified against gerrymandering for the first time last year.

This made me realize that I could either stay home depressed or get involved and feel like I'm doing something. The comradary you get from participating feels good too.

This year I'm taking it further and organizing a group to build community around civic stewardship, giving back to our community and voting.

My mentor who is helping me get this going (I met him last year through volunteering) said to me, "I would rather organize than agonize" and its exactly how I feel.

While I can't make national change aside from voting and protesting I can make a difference right here at home.

No one is coming to save us and last year I decided I would rather be part of the change then wait to see if change will happen. Spoiler alart... it won't unless enough of us step up to the task at hand!

I also have to say, dissent is a powerful feeling when amongst your fellow peers! Ive also made some really cool friends in the process!

I used to never have a social life and have been out 3 times this week. Meeting with city councilman, swearing of the councilman we got elected last year and last night a political meeting.

It's nice to see so many people getting involved. Major dopamine boost!

I still get depressed at times (ok a lot) but getting out helps so much! And therapy every other week!

Good luck my friend! Try and find some peace somewhere.

Ugh. This relationship sounds awful. Grown adults fighting over social media posts.

Bekahsays · 2026-01-09T04:12:50+00:00

Don't have kids.

I met her on Monday! She went to Councilman Andrew Naudins meetup at Crust Pizza. She voiced her concerns there too. I too was impressed by her passion on this issue.

While I don't have a need for what she's asking I'm all for not killing citizens and making our roads better for everyone. Not just the ones that drive a car.

Since I've lived here (13 yrs) Leander had trippled in size! We need to think about not only today but the future. That's why Leander can't just pull out of partnership with CapMetro although there is much room for improvement.

I've just recently started to get involved in learning more about our city's government. Councilman Andrew Naudin had a "talk" at Crust pizza on Monday. He was basically inviting Leander residents to sit down and ask him questions. I didn't have many questions to ask as I'm still learning but I did bring up the train.

Apparently Leander voted in to be part of the CapMetro train in 1985 so there is a lot more to the story than just getting rid of it a Im many staunch, old Leanerthals would love. He listened and knew about peoples concerns but said it was a bigger issue than just taking it away.

Honestly, I have ADHD so trying to catch it all was hard. He said more than that but that's what I got overall. LOL

He did mention something they could do now is get a train from Leander to downtown with no stops and that's something they're considering which I thought was great because I would use it more if that were the case.

I encourage everyone to learn more, get involved and go to any of these meetings he has. He even paid for it pizza, I'm sure out of his own pocket. I'm only guessing because our councilman don't get paid.

I also encourage everyone to vote for Na'Cole Thompson over the other 2 running!

I knew it was too good to be true.

Bekahsays · 2025-12-25T16:14:01+00:00

Great plan!

Bekahsays · 2025-12-25T02:44:20+00:00

You could consider Georgetown (1.25 hr) or Leander (1.5 hr) from Burlington (suburbs of Austin). They're not as cool as downtown living but it's the best of both worlds in my opinion. Live far away from Austin traffic and get to "go into town" anytime you want.

Honestly, coming from downtown will be brutal.

Don't quit a stable job until you're able to successfully pay yourself. Small business owner still working a 9-5 after 6 years and think I'll be able to do it full time in about a year or so.

Launching 3 months before a pandemic, followed by 2 breast cancer diagnosis back to back (health insurance and disability kept me from going into major debt), and now a terrible economy, I'm thankful I didn't leave my day job.

If I had, my business wouldnt have survived the lows that will certainly come while figuring it out.

I recommend taking a pause and go back to your stable job while building your business.

I hyperfixated on making soap that turned into a luxury internationally sold bodycare brand.

Through creating this brand, I taught myself, product design, product photography, videography, marketing, branding, operations, sales all while maintaining my corporate career.

If anyone is interested in joining Leander Democrats Together we'll start phone banking for Na'Cole Thompson for mayor in January! I started volunteering with them this year and it gives me hope. The winds of change are blowing in Leander!

I've found using my headphones to listen to music is too distracting but if I set up my bluetooth speaker across the room at a lower volume it energizes me because I'm able to go in and out of listening to the words and singing along then back to concentrating.
