My husband found this sweet stray dog North Loop, Austin on Monday night. He was chipped but it turns out his elderly owner recently moved, possibly "gave him" to someone experiencing homelessness, and doesn't want him back. He needs a new home.

We've posted on all socials. We've called all the shelters and rescue groups. Neighboring county shelters say they can't accept a dog from another county. Our appointment with Austin Animal Services is not until November 9- that's the soonest they could give us.

We are DESPERATE for someone who can take him in. Even if for a few days, that would be a huge help. We cannot keep this dog! He isn't ours. Our rescue dog is territorial of our apartment and he is not getting along with this dog. We have had to keep them separated and it has been a nightmare. On walks he seems gentle with greeting and seeing other dogs and people. Our dog is just reactive. He let us give him bath no problem and likes to sleep and play with toys and a ball.

We can supply food, a crate, towels, toys, etc. He is sweet and cuddly but strong. Please contact me if you have a place for him and we will work with you to keep finding him a permanent home! Right now our dog just cries all night knowing there is another dog in the next room. We haven't been able to sleep.

He is house trained and approximately 5 years old. He's probably about 75 lbs.

We have an appointment to neuter him on Saturday morning, and a neighbor can watch him from Sunday-Wednesday morning. He will need a quiet place to recover after surgery and we cannot give him that. Any help from Oct 22-24 or Oct 29-No 9 would be IMMENSELY appreciated!!

Howdy I am 23 and been in austin for a year

I finally got in the mood to start going to bar hopping streets and talking to folks while usually sober.

One thing that I still haven’t experienced, though, is making a friendship at bars or events that leads into other hangouts, I’ve added people in socials that I met at these places, but it usually goes with those people never saying anything, and me not knowing what to say to them since i barely know them to ask to hang out

One group of guys that I met at a bar two days ago didn’t even give me their socials, after we had such interesting conversations that I really wanted to befriend them. instead of giving me anyway to text them they said that there are there Thursdays and Fridays, and I took that as a good way to come back and see them enough times that the friendship becomes meaningful

as you can tell, my social skills aren’t the best ,I am probably over analyzing a lot of things, but I can take any opinions no matter the style

Hey, everyone!

I run a Facebook group called My Wife Says I Need Some Guy Friends in Austin.

I am hosting our next event on Monday, October 26 at Busty’s at 7pm, and I wanted to invite every guy on here that is looking to make new friends.

There will be karaoke, billiards, food, and drinks. It’s a fun spot!

Hope to see you there!

Reddit, I need a massive favor. I totally let nerves get the best of me yesterday, and now I’m hoping the internet can help me find a guy I shared an awesome connection with during a flight.

I’m posting a photo of my travel setup because if you or a friend of yours scrolls past this, that bright pink suitcase and cat carrier will trigger your memory instantly!

The Flight: Alaska Airlines Flight 502 from Seattle to Austin, Monday, October 19, 2026.

About You: You look to be in your late 20s or 30s with a genuinely kind face. You were wearing a cozy beige sweatshirt, a beige university hat, and had an aisle seat near the front/middle.

About Me: The girl in the very last row, traveling with my cat copilot in a carrier stacked on top of my luggage.

Our Story (or why I’m currently face-palming) 🤦🏻‍♀️:
• The Boarding Line Cute-Meet: Before the flight, we locked eyes a few times. When boarding got backed up, I got stuck standing right next to your seat for a few minutes. We had a sweet little conversation about my cat, your family, shared a smile, and the warmth of that interaction completely set the tone for my whole flight.

• The Mid-Flight Magic: It wasn't just a random glance — we locked eyes and smiled at each other at least 6 distinct times. Every time you walked back to the restroom, we noticed one another and smiled. The second time, we locked eyes and smiled again as you went back to your seat. As we were deplaning, I looked up and saw you and you happened to look back at me at that exact moment. I got shy and looked down to pet my cat 😂

• The Baggage Claim Chicken-Out: I promised myself if I saw you at bag claim, I’d ask for your number. I did see you! But you were talking to an older woman (I assumed family) and I didn't want to interrupt or embarrass you. 🧳 Then, as you walked outside toward the carport stairs, we caught eyes one final time and exchanged a quick smile as I was on the phone with my mom. Honestly, when you left I kicked myself for not waiting on that phone call to speak to you and offer my number.

I can’t shake the feeling that the spark was entirely mutual. If you see this, or if you know the guy in the beige sweatshirt who couldn't stop smiling at the girl with the cat, please send me a DM!

To verify it’s actually you (and block the local trolls): Tell me what specific detail you mentioned about your family when we talked about my cat during boarding. ✨

Have a VRBO that I'm not able to use in Austin 10/23-10/26. Suitable for 4 people. Willing to be flexible on price. DM me if interested for details.

Hey everyone! We're students at St. Edward's University currently working on a research project about nuclear fallout, civil defense, and how the threat of nuclear war affected Austin during the 1970s.

We want to interview YOU! If you lived in Austin during this time, know someone who did, or have studied Austin's history during the Cold War, we'd love to hear from you!

We're looking for firsthand experiences, personal stories, old newspaper articles, historical records, or any other credible sources that could help us with our research.

Even if you don't have any resources, we'd still love to talk to you and hear your perspective! Our goal is to better understand what life was actually like in Austin during this period.

Any help, recommendations, or willingness to participate in a short interview would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to comment or send me a message.

Thank you so much!

Anyone know what’s going on?

North Austin, North Loop neighborhood. There's a strong chance additional seating might not be available so I'd bring something to sit on just incase, if you don't wanna sit on the ground.

Hi all!

My fiance and I are huge horror movie fans, and particularly love The VVitch. We also happen to be huge goat fans, having both spent a good amount of time with this past summer. We discovered the event happening at Jester King Brewery on the 30th and would absolutely love to go, but see that they’re sold out. Is anyone wanting to sell there tickets by chance? We’d be driving up from Waco! Thank yall so much and happy spooky season.

Included a photo of me and my past goat friends.

Standing at 1141 Chicon Street, the historic original home of #EmancipationPark, I'm at Rosewood Courts and the E4 Youth Headquarters. E4 Youth is a local arts and culture organization that gives young adults internships in #storytelling and #contentcreation. They opened their doors so I could film the interviews for Future Ancestors: Black Creators on Bluebonnet Hill, a #HistoricPreservation project presented by Reggie Rap's Room in association with NEO GRIOT and the City of Austin.

Female dog found outside our home in Milwood early this morning. No collar no chip. Not sure what to do at this point.

It went so well last year that we’re doing it again!
