LGBTQ+ friendly apartments near UT Tyler campus?

I recently got accepted into a masters program at UT Tyler and Im visibly gay. I've read up that Tyler is a bit conservative so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for places to live? I've heard that some places are really bad management wise. Any help or tips would be appreciated.

Internet + trash pickup outside city limits

Hey all, my guy and I are moving from Kilgore to the outer edge of Tyler (kinda right on the Chandler line) and we’re trying to figure out who would be best for trash and internet out there.

I noticed that there is a spectrum junction box (I think that’s what it’s called?) on the wooded property next to ours but I’ve never had spectrum and reviews seem mixed. Are there better options out there or have any of you had good experience with them? Our new place is pretty well covered in trees so Starlink doesn’t seem like it would be very good for us and if our phones have minimal service I can’t imagine that t-mobile or Verizon home Internet would be either.

As for trash, I checked with eco but they said someone would call me and they never did. Republic seems super expensive and we’ll likely only need pickup every two weeks.

Workout Anytime Gym vs. Planet Fitness/others??

Thoughts/Opinions on gyms in the area? I live on the Bullard side of Tyler and would like to get back in the gym regularly after a 6-7 year hiatus. I loved Planet Fitness back in the day for its ARC machines and HydroMassage tables. I have heard that Workout Anytime has the same amenities plus the advantage of being open all night. Input welcome. Thanks in advance.

Recycling E Waste

Is there a place here in Tyler I can drop off used electronics like computer parts, remotes, and Tivo receivers? I did a Google search and all I saw was junk removal services and I'm not looking to pay for someone to take it.

blowout

Anybody know a good spot to get a blowout? I’m looking for a soft fluffy/textured blowout with volume and movement while keeping the natural wave — more airy and layered, not super flat or overly defined.

Greyhound stop?

I'm taking greyhound from Dallas to Tyler this week, but I really have no information about Tyler greyhound stop. Is it like an actual greyhound station like the one in Dallas, or is it literally just a stop and they just drop you off in the middle of nowhere? if that's the case, how are you even supposed to get on the bus back to Dallas(luckily, I'm taking Uber lol)? Also how is the safety there during the day? A lot of homeless?

Looking for a Teammate

You + Me + Science = A Successful Kidney Transplant!

Hi! It’s Kristine and Kelvin Shankle and we are looking for a "Teammate" to help my husband retire from his part-time job: Dialysis.

Most people think finding a kidney match is like winning the lottery..rare and nearly impossible. But thanks to modern science (and some very smart people at the National Kidney Registry), there are actually three ways you can help me get back to not dying:

Option 1: The "Direct Hit" (Direct Match)

We happen to have the same blood type and biology (type O). You donate, I receive, and we celebrate. Simple, classic, legendary!

Option 2: The "Great Swap" (Paired Exchange)

Maybe we aren't a match? No problem. You donate to a stranger who is a match for you, and in return, their donor gives a kidney to me. It’s a win-win-win!

Option 3: The "Magic Coupon" (The Voucher)

This is the coolest one. You donate on your schedule to anyone in the national pool. In return, I get a "Priority Voucher." When I’m ready for surgery, I go to the top of the list for a perfect match. You save two lives at once!

The "Fine Print" (The Good Kind):

💰 Cost to you: $0. (My insurance covers everything).

🛡️ Protection: Donor Shield covers your lost wages and travel.

🏥 Experts: We’re backed by the amazing team at Medical City Fort Worth!

If you’re healthy and a little bit curious, checking out the info takes 5 minutes and carries zero commitment.

Ready to see which "Option" fits you? Start here:

PLEASE SHARE! Even if it’s not for you, your share might reach the one person who’s been looking for a way to change a life. ❤️
