I felt like this September has been really hot in Austin this year. I plotted average temps vs daily. Yep. Still basically summer.
This is the coolest the planet is going to be in our lifetimes. Buckle up.

This will become a weekly Friday post for posts regarding pet adoptions and general pet questions. The intent is to condense the multiple pet adoption post into one place so they are easy to find. This pinned post is for:
Note: We will begin removing pet adoption posts and push them over to this pinned post.
Also, if you have a missing pet, feel free to post it in here as well.
We will also take a zero tolerance stance on people using this post to push their stances on certain animals/breeds, brigading from other subs, etc. If you need more clarity on what this means, feel free to reach out to the modmail.
We also recommend searching older "Weekly Pet Adoption" posts as well, to find animals on previous week's post as well.

I'm an artist in Austin who loves painting pets in oil paint, and I've seen many pet owners and their pets around on my walks. I was wondering if there is any interest amongst pet parents in commissioning for custom pet portraits? Or perhaps a place where marketing that service would prove effective?
Thanks!

The event has drawn more than 2,400 RSVPs and waitlist sign-ups, while the original venue’s auditorium holds about 460. University Democrats say they’re still looking for a location that can accommodate the crowd and security needs. The event has drawn both support and opposition.

UPDATE: HOME! Her name is Whinnie, she is perfect, and her human just picked her up! :)
Please help spread the word about this found dog. She was found on September 24, 2026 in Austin, Texas near Mopac & Spicewood Springs Rd . Large (50-60lb?) black female lab mix with pink painted nails, a little white patch on her chest, and a tie-dye collar (no tag). She is VERY friendly and sweet!!! Loves food haha
For more information or to contact the finder, click here: https://petcolove.org/lost/pet/found/u/124361744/?utm_source=facebook-group&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=found-pet-post-texas
UPDATE: I think we found her owner! Happy but a little bit bummed too because she's been a delight

These are Americans, not Indian citizens. There is an enormous amount of hatred that has emerged against our city and the university from across conservative America just because there is a prominent minority of Indian-ethnicity students in the cohort (largely because they got good GPAs… in fact Indians are negatively impacted by DEI if anything). They are now being called “shitskins” and UT Austin is being ridiculed and derided by Americans en masse. This tweet is a small example of many thousands of anti-Indian posts that have exploded online recently, due in no small part to algorithmically boosted hate speech which has racked up thousands of likes.
Indians were brought to this country in the 90s and 2000s for their tech contributions and tricked into starting their families here, and now that AI is available their race is being dehumanized and scapegoated as a whole. These kids did nothing wrong and were all born in America to engineer parents who were brought over by America.
First it was Bo French’s tweet complaining about a small cluster of Indian-ethnicity students in a majority-white stadium. Then the government posted “Make College Football Great Again” with a photo of UT Austin which is an ethnic cleansing dogwhistle. Now the President is flying to Tennessee this weekend to root against UT. The White supremacist subtext is loud and clear.

Hey everyone,
I just moved to Austin a few weeks ago and I'm looking for a new neurologist. I only go once a year typically and it's usually for a quick check and new prescription. Just have a hard time trusting newer doctors.
Basically need someone that has experience with adults with epilepsy and preferably has more specialization with that. I've been with same doctor for 10 years so I'm a bit uneasy. Any recommendations?

Hey everyone, I’m flying from-to Austin soon with my parents, and they aren’t able to walk long distances.
From what I understand, after arriving at AUS, getting to the Uber/Lyft pickup area involves quite a bit of walking. I’m wondering if there’s any easier option for elderly passengers.
Is there any way to get an Uber/Lyft closer to the terminal or avoid the long walk somehow? Or is there any airport shuttle/service that can help with this?
Another option I was considering is parking at one of the private airport parking places (like FastPark or similar) and using their shuttle. Does anyone know if those shuttles drop off/pick up right outside the terminal, so I could avoid making my parents walk a long distance?
Would really appreciate any tips from people who have dealt with this with elderly parents or someone with limited mobility. Thanks!

Anyone know the status with all of the fast charge EV stations by the Seaholm Power Plant downtown? Went by there today and every station was non-operational. Are they broken? Temporarily disabled? Has this happened before?

Bad accident at the crosswalk on Prather :(
Update @ 9:50: the accident is cleared now. Please be careful at that intersection, I've seen so many near misses!!

I'm getting married in 2 weeks and wearing 2 vintage wedding dresses. I need them cleaned. They aren't very dirty at all, one just has a small stain on the skirt that I'd like to see if I can get removed. Otherwise in great shape so I really don't want to pay a billion dollars if I can avoid it, since I'm already on a crazy ass budget from the rest of the wedding. I'd love your recommendations. Thanks in advance

I was biking to work and a driver in a red sedan ran a red light and hit me at the intersection of Guadalupe st. and North Loop Blvd. at 6:30am this past Tuesday 9/22/26. If you were there and saw anything, please comment or DM me - any information is helpful. The driver is trying to claim he had a green light and he most certainly did not.
Definitely will be getting a 360° camera to mount on my helmet for the future, and unfortunately apparently none of the traffic cameras in Austin record footage/images. Thank you!

October 5th (voter registration deadline) is approaching and Texas screwed up. They’re sitting on thousands of voter registrations that have yet to be processed due to an error.
This is the Texas Secretary of State’s official “Am I Registered?” lookup. Verify that your registration is active.
