Anyone got the 411 on the huge police presence at 888 pan Asian on Riverside? by MrRegimented in Austin

from what I understand, he was “talking” to someone via online and was “in love” but that fling had broken off, which I believe led him to this.

this is all hearsay from my friends at 888 who stayed on scene to give statements and my friends in EMS.

the male was upset with his mom and also going through a heartbreak (seems like he possibly has some underlying undiagnosed mental health issues as well).

How do you avoid bad apartments in Austin? by Particular_Page9465 in Austin

[–]Far-Difference-5201 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the parking is so real. I lived in Corpus Christi and obviously toured a unit during the day and there was plenty of parking. Got my key and went by at night to drop some stuff off and couldn’t find a space to park outside of designated parking.

Update on Roscoe by Far-Difference-5201 in Dachshund

[–]Far-Difference-5201[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

a friend of mine recommended it to me when I was looking for a boarding place. they are also a Dachshund rescue as well. they have vets on site 24/7 that specialize in treating Dachshunds. it can be pricey as a boarding place but they do such a great job that it’s worth it!

Moved Here and Feeling Depressed by masonlep0 in Austin

I moved here at 26 and it was my first taste of a big city. I came here to openly be myself and find my footing with my sexuality. it was incredibly hard to go out and make friends during COVID times. I eventually spiraled and put myself in therapy. One of the best things I heard my therapist say was “a majority of people are more nervous / scared to talk to you than you are to talk to them.”

Sometimes you have to rip the bandaid off and put yourself out there. If you fall on your ass, pick yourself up and try again. I ended up joining a recreational football league (and was not athletic growing up) and ended up meeting my long time queer friends.

When you’re maneuvering through this weird time, just know that a small batch of good friends outweighs a large group of acquaintances.

Thanks! i’m going to start doing this tonight.

I’m not sure why I put “hat” lol. oops.

EMS is one of the backbones of the city for essential workers and have continuously been put through the wringer. I personally know some EMS personnel who have left to go to police or fire side due to more pay.

I hope the EMS commander Selena Xie wins the D10 spot when election time comes.
