you prob know about some of these but if you don't...
snake island–you need some kind of water vehicle to get there but it's on the east side of the lake and has a rope swing and picnic table. fun to paddle board to and day drink on
casa de luz–delicious vegan place with absolutely holy vibes. go after barton for a beautiful wholesome day
city wide vintage sale–happens every couple months I have scored so many times here
red bluff–take a short hike to this little set of table and chairs that overlooks the city. great date spot
hill country–get out of austin and go to krause springs, reimers park, windy point, pedernales etc. beautiful summer day activity. finish it off with jester king pizza and beer and baby goats

Spring always brings it out of me. The buds on the trees! The breezy warmth! The tulips appearing where there was once only a small patch of dirt for dogs to piss on! Everything is incredible and awesome and absurd and I’m always so grateful for the moments I can get past my own relatively small problems to stand in awe of the world :,)

you choose a decade and a country and it gives you obscure music from that time and place. built from the private collections of djs and crate diggers all over the world, there are so many gems on here. bonus roadtrip game–play a song and make your car mate guess the country/decade

Probably the most important tactile skill I possess! Being able to mend your own clothes, tailor them to get the perfect fit, and even design/make your own clothes is so rewarding, not to mention hella sustainable. The entire thrift store is my size bc I have a sewing machine and I can take things in or out as needed.
Linking a solid podcast ep that talks about sewing from a historical and philosophical context too hehe everyone should know how to sew
