Lovely new discs and pads fitted today on what is an absolute glorious one. I'm now as ready as I can be for the MoT retest, just got to hope the emissions are more sensible when I go.

Was talking with a friend about the harms of short term rentals.

The fact that New York City has greatly restricted STRs so they don't adversely impact housing stock, but the most meager regulations in #Austin have been thrown out in court is so peak #Texas

Here's a news cite from last month:

So I went to Kerby Lane Mueller in #Austin for pancakes -- even paid the up-charge for maple syrup. Apparently some time in the past year they stopped serving butter and instead you get fancy pancakes with margarine.

I know Kerby has fallen hard in recent years, but I thought they'd still be dependable for breakfast dishes. Guess not.

I am so excited to finally share my @TexasObserver feature on the #Drag Queens of Austin and how they're defying the threat of legal crackdown and persecution in the streets, from the magazine. I spent months putting this together and I am so proud of how it came out... https://www.texasobserver.org/austin-drag-queens-defy-ban/

Brigitte Bandit performs in AC/AB pasties on her artificial breasts, red and black waist cincher, fishnets, black boots and wavy blonde hair.

Hermajestie the Hung told us, “I was given spaces to explore the real me, not the me that I had to be in order to stay alive. #Drag is so healing.”

In Digital Editor Kit @oconnell's #Culture feature from our magazine, the performers of #Austin celebrate their art in defiance of persecution: https://www.texasobserver.org/austin-drag-queens-defy-ban/

A set of photos in a photo grid - beginning top left and moving clockwise:

- a plate of enchiladas
- a photo of downtown Austin, Texas in the early nineties
- artwork of a flying saucer hovering over a lone car in a desert landscape
- a paved road through a west Texas landscape
- poster for Richard Linklater's film "Slackers"
- art work with a black background and a pair of glowing red eyes staring menacingly out of the darkness.

A residential street with modern mid- to large-sized homes, and a huge oak growing in the foreground. At the base of an oak is a yellow sign reading "Slow down, Kids & Pets at Play." The street looks placid. No cars are currently visible.
