▲ 77 r/Tucson

I'm on a journey to shop 100% local. What are your favorite local shops in Tucson? Especially near downtown?

I shop at the co-op for all groceries and most toiletries/household goods, but I'm struggling to find places that offer the following:

- gardening supplies

- stationary/paper planner supplies

- brand-name/clinical skincare products like Differin, Vanicream, etc.

- pet supplies for cat/reptile

- plus-size clothes, natural fibers mostly

I'd appreciate any recommendations for the above, as well as any other local shops you love in town!

Is the Jelly Star worth it in 2026?

I know it's running Android 13 still, but I like the look and size of it a lot. And the price point is what I'm looking for, too. All I really need is something for calls, text, and Google Play so I can have my doorbell camera app on it.

Is the Qin F25 secure/safe?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm really digging this phone but can only find it at aliexpress, which seems a little questionable. I plan to use it as a true dumbphone, but my employer requires me to keep Okta Verify (a security authenticator) on my phone for work, so I need a phone that's capable of that. It appears that the F25 runs Android 14, which will run Okta, but I'm worried about how secure an aliexpress phone could be. Any insight?

How to repel skunks?

I'm in the southwest US. I love these little guys but we've been seeing them daily around sunset and later around our backyard downtown, and I know they carry disease and, of course, spray. It's been making it difficult to host bonfires/gatherings outside. Has anyone come up with a good remedy to repel them? Preferably something that isn't hundreds of dollars?

Issue with directional keys getting stuck in-game

I play Waterpark Sim on PC and today I noticed that when hitting the WASD keys, they will almost always get stuck, moving the player character/camera in one direction indefinitely. Not sure why this is happening. I tested my keyboard in several other games and it works fine, this only happens in Waterpark Sim.

EDIT: Needed to update Proton, if anyone's having the same problem
