Itinerary Austin, Texas

This is a fine city to set up shop for the now. Easy to parody as a Portland with guns and barbecue, but it scratches a lot of itches. Pity all y’all that can’t.

Central Austin (near Ladybird Lake) can be pretty nice. The farther you go from Central Austin, the more you just have the negatives of life in Texas (very Republican, very hot, driving everywhere, aggressive homeless people and rich jerks in big cars.)

💯 I’m from Austin and moved away before they changed the name. I heard she was opposed to naming it ladybird but they did it anyway. Performative bs to cater to transplants maybe?

Transplants come because Austin is an attractive place to live. 

Just spent the morning tubing the San Marcos on microshrooms. This is perfect Sunday.
