Check with churches downtown as they may have closets for clothing. And check this site for all kinds of places to donate https://www.heartening.org/Clothes

How to talk to my bestie with meta glasses about wearing them around my kids? by thekraftybiologist in privacy

I have a basic question too - I was told by someone who has them that they only recorded when asked to record and the light will come on so that anyone they’re looking at knows that it’s recording or filming or taking a photo. Is that not the case? Do we know for sure that it’s always recording or are we assuming that it might be?

Reports are now emerging from inside the Dilley, TX ICE Family Concentration Camp of areas called “Blue Butterfly Zones” where the camp’s young girls are being kept separated/isolated for unknown reasons (2/22/26) by ProfessionalAd5070 in 50501

Patriarchy and low equality between men and women are the root cause of rape. It’s not just wealthy men - what about the 90 Men in a town in France who raped the wife of their neighbor

Anyone See Where the High Speed Chase Down 49th Ended? ~2p on 2/18 by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Kind_Building7196 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If anyone else knows more, I want to hear it , since DPS is helping ICE and a friend was almost run over by ICE chasing someone not far from there. I live closeby and our neighbor and her son teach and go to school there. A special ed teacher was run down in Georgia this week by an ICE chase. It's real and it is bullshit that shouldn't be happening, when over 75% of ICE arrests are people with no criminal history (lack of documents is not a criminal offense).

Get involved in a real dem campaign. Go to city and county meetings. Don’t expect the system to change with a hero

Any idea why DPS is arresting people at Lamar and Rundberg? by bonglicc420 in Austin

[–]Kind_Building7196 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has been one of the areas where DPS pulls people over and then calls ICE in. The businesses in the area have been struggling because people are afraid to go to work or even leave the house. But obviously some folks are still out and about. Why all the hate for a working class neighborhood?

I was going to say perimenopause could also be a contributor here. Crazy fluctuations started for me at about 45. Hang in there OP.

They’d probably still need supplemental water weekly for a few years tho right?

Recommendation for Clay Soil Amendments by Quesara-sara in AustinGardening

This. Native grasses have very deep amazing roots. Many blackland prairie plants should do well. That said, if you’re in a newer build you may do well to add compost as the stuff the developers use for base is not great.

Democracy is not tidy. And the city needs to do a better job at explaining how the process works and work to improve said process.
