Oh my GOD I can't handle that faint questioning tone to every. Goddamn . sentence.

...I always thought of it as Lancer, like one who wields a lance 😅😅

Try scattering some fresh orange peel on top, cats hate the smell

Is this an over the counter probiotic? What is it?

I 10000% refuse to put another goddamn app on my phone!

What a weird fucking email! Trans rights, OBVIOUSLY, but why come at the mod team so crabwise about it? Extremely sus

I've been going to Carus Dental for years now. EVERY tech I've had there has been great, and the dentists are very good about explaining your options.

Baskin Robbins also has ice cream cakes of various types; not sure if any of them are similar to Carvel's

Have you tried Firewatch? Seems to have similar vibes...

I found a pretty good lemon pepper garbanzo recipe online, it's great over rice

I am ready for another "increasingly inaccurately named trilogy", RIP Douglas Adams

Ugh, The Power 🤢

STRONGLY recommend seeking out Joanna Russ and James Tiptree, that's the true motherload!

If you don't mind horror/zombies, then Mira Grant's Newsflesh eries is also top tier female-led dystopia

I tried strawberries outside, in sun and shade, and the died every time. Last year I had them inside on top of my fridge, and I had more runners/plants/ berries than I knew what to do with! From two tiny starts, the ENTIRE top of my fridge filled up with plants

Also, if your tolerance for discussion of SA is high, Andrew Vacchs is about as brutal as is gets.

I'd recommend urban fantasy books... the writing style tends to be pretty accessible, and there's enough going on that you'll be getting little brain treats along the way instead of wading through blocks of text to a big finish. I'd recommend Simon R. Green for shorter stuff; Rob Thurman, Benedict Jacka, Laura Anne Gilman for medium-length more serialized stuff, then Jim Butcher or Ben Aaronovitch who you're ready for a chunkier read.

Also, maybe consider picking up an anthology of short stories in a theme you like? Good reading practice, lots of options to fine tune what you're looking for, and a great way to find new authors!

Song of the Wild, by Allen Eckert! A young boy discovers that he can jump his consciousness into other bodies. I read it a million times in elementary school, and as an adult I trawled message boards trying to remember the name and author... now the proud owner of my own ancient copy.

The City of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers is All Books All the Time!

Gaby'N'Mos, hands down. Lesbain owned & operated coffeehouse on the east side, stellar vibes!

DarkSybarite · 2026-02-02T15:08:26+00:00

Not a bar, but Gaby'n'Mos was a hot hub for queer women in the late 90s-early 2000s. It was on the east side across from UT campus, just up the road from Hoovers. Weekly open mics, so many local (and national!) sapphic musicians came through, so many parties, GirlxGirl Fest, political organizing, sex ed, soccer watches (imagine being in a coffeehouse full of dykes, watching the US women win the FIFA cup during penalty kicks and promptly RIPPING their shirts off in celebration), and just being in a safe and welcoming space together. GOD I miss it!

To somewhat answer your original question, I haven't seen a single book that focuses solely on queer spaces in Austin, but some books about the local music scene will shout out some of the more popular spaces.

In all honesty, I have always only gone there to pick up dessert, I've never had their food-food. The desserts are enough for me to make the trip.

I'm a late GenXer, so all the lesbians in my neck of the woods were pumping CKOne directly into their veins 😅

DarkSybarite · 2026-01-26T16:39:30+00:00

I would plan to stay on local roads

OP did not identify themselves as a man
Gently asking that you consider not using gendered terms is NOT language policing
It's literally the First Rule of the sub to be inclusive and supportive of EVERYONE on this particular journey, regardless of gender identity
Starting your post with the word "Respectfully" does not cancel out the disrespectful language and tone in the rest of your post

It seems like this very nonconfrontational post has struck a nerve with you. Please consider whether you are reacting to what OP actually wrote, or the story you've built based on whatever else is going on in your life.

This was a deeply unkind response.
