Austin Texas Community

This keeps getting deleted and/or locked in r/austin , and it looks like media is trying to keep this hush. So, I thought I'd put this here for awareness.

There's some organization in r/50501 , but as you might have seen in /c/reddit or other places, we're entering an era of controlled media in the U.S.. So, I don't expect that subreddit to last too long. If it does get banned, I think the fediverse is the best place to mass organize - discord/slack/signal or whatever are probably too obscure to organize large numbers of people.

I can't speak to the merits of this protest (if it will be effective, what it's goal is, etc.), but I thought you should at least know about it.

Just find your store, then search for whatever you can't find. Tells you what they have and what aisle it's on. IT'S AWESOME

I am looking for a tattoo artist (in Austin, TX, for those seeing this elsewhere than lemmy) to add watercolor-ish wild flowers to my arm. Any recommendations?

And there are pretty active groups in Austin. It is pretty trivial to get a GMRS license for UHF walkie talkies and use of the GMRS repeaters around town, and not too hard to get the basic Technician license to get the real goods and talk far far away.

North/south roads are surprisingly icy while east/west roads are less so. Still showing a little. Definitely don't drive for a few hours if you don't have to although 35 seems OK. Saw some black ice too.
