Alright, I don't normally bother with this sort of thing but this collab just hits too perfectly. My wife loves Hello Kitty, and we both love Godzilla, so if anyone knows which store has which toys I would appreciate a heads up! So far I know 34th and Quaker has Hello Kitty/Godzilla, and the one on 50th near Q has Keroppi/King Ghidora. Really appreciate any help! I know I'm pathetic...

I’m looking for some recent pictures anyone has taken in the tech area or downtown area for some inspiration on something I want to write about. If any of y’all can help out.

I own Maine coons and one in particular is very hard to keep de-matted and has a case of stud tail that is lingering. I cannot shave him myself as he likes to be still one second, zoomies the next. Does anyone have a cat groomer they recommend ? I saw a mobile one but I’m not in the Lubbock area, I live an hour outside the city.

Hi!!! I read on a post SOMEWHERE in this community about a board game group that meets once a week around Lubbock. The guy posting was the organizer, I think? Was I dreaming? Are you here? 👀

Help me find this guy!

On August 14, 2026, around 7:00–7:30 p.m., my husband was parked on the side of the roadway dealing with a malfunction with his vehicle. He was underneath/around the vehicle trying to determine what was wrong.

According to my husband, an LPD officer drove past him, came back and passed him again, then returned a third time. The officer said:

«“You know why you’re getting stopped, right?”»

My husband was already parked on the side of the road because of the vehicle problem.

Around 7:42–7:43 p.m., my husband called me and told me he believed he was going to jail. He told me that a K-9 unit had been brought to the scene and maintained that he had not committed a crime or done anything that would justify what was happening.

I became concerned about the circumstances of the detention, particularly because I had not been told of any specific traffic violation, criminal conduct, probable cause, or reasonable suspicion supporting the detention or any search.

I also attempted to obtain the officers' names and badge numbers, but they refused to provide that information when I requested it.

I contacted 911 because I was concerned about my husband's situation during the active law-enforcement encounter. I was told that it was not considered an emergency. During that conversation, I was asked whether the person involved was an African American male. I found that response concerning given the circumstances.

I also contacted the Texas Rangers regarding my concerns about the law-enforcement conduct and received an automated response acknowledging my communication.

I am documenting this because I believe people should be aware of what happened and because I believe the circumstances raise serious questions concerning my husband's Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with any other constitutional or Texas-law protections that may apply.

💰 Most importantly, I'm trying to get my husband home.

Michael Ford Jr. is currently dealing with this situation, and I am trying to raise the money necessary to help him make bond and get back home to his family.

If you know Michael, know our family, or simply want to help someone who is currently incarcerated while this situation is being addressed, sharing this post is also helpful.

I am documenting everything available to me, including the approximate times, telephone communications, agency responses, and circumstances surrounding the detention.

I also believe relevant evidence should be preserved, including body-camera footage, dash-camera footage, dispatch and radio communications, CAD records, 911 recordings, K-9 deployment records, officer reports, search/arrest documentation, and other records connected to this incident.

This post is for awareness, documentation, and support. I am not claiming that a court has already determined that a constitutional violation occurred. I am sharing what happened from my perspective and asking people to understand what my husband and our family are currently dealing with.

I used to follow this local creator for home decorating trends/finds but now this page has completely changed. Does anyone else follow this and can shed light on what's going on with it?

Anyone know of and parks or schools with soccer goals that are okay for public use?

From the DFW area so I’m used to every HS having fields anyone could go practice on.

It’s a tax district facility…UMC receives tens of millions just for keeping the doors open. Yes, the job of a tax district hospital is to provide care for the indigent population and inmates in the county. If your margin is zero, that’s good planning because it means no tax increases for the residents.

What are the vibes like at club luxor? We’re new to the area and looking for 18+ clubs, as we aren’t 21 yet so any suggestions would be appreciated!

Me and my fiancé are looking for free places to go on his off days.
I’m 23 weeks pregnant and we’re very broke, I’m not able to work so I’m in our apartment 24/7 and he’s the only human being I interact with, we have a great relationship but I’m losing my mind and I feel so depressed. All I do is scroll all day, scroll and eat and none of my previous hobbies bring me joy anymore. Nothing really does, I don’t have friends and my family isn’t reliable at all and aren’t an option.
I just wanna see if there are places that are free that we can go to so I can feel like a human again, thanks
(I’m 20 and he’s 22 if that helps)

Hello! I’m hoping to find my people here or find a way to them 😅. I love playing bingo but don’t go as much as I would like because I don’t like playing alone. I’m hoping to find a group or even a few people who would like to go play! I usually go to cotton patch bingo but I’m good with MLK bingo too I just have to go after work ends at 6:30pm or on weekends.
I’m in my 30’s and a female. I prefer other women to hang out with but men are welcome too but as strictly platonic bingo friends!! 😊

I'm planning a road trip with my kids tomorrow. Trying to find fun stuff to do to entertain my teenage kids. Any suggestions?
