Oh hey, I forgot about this place. But I'm back and looking for stories. Specifically, if you have a Central Texas religion-y news tip, I'm all ears.

[Jack Jenkins @jackmjenkins]

Anyway, hire more religion reporters.

BREAKING: Development will move forward at the former Borden Dairy site, with concessions to community demands. “We got a better deal after the lawsuit than before the lawsuit,” Daniel Llanes told me. “That is an unfortunate statement that reflects on the City Council."

[Austin Free Press @atxfreepress]

Through a legal settlement, activists obtained concessions from Endeavor Real Estate that the Austin City Council did not secure earlier. (https://t.co/J71hfuMuko)

The Austin @Saengerrunde is a 145 y.o. German-language choir. But more important than song is "gemutlichkeit."
"It means the act of being in community," Choir Director Holly Dalrymple told me. "It's a way of being."
Hear the choir in my first for NPR.

@RemadnaKXAN Most units these days have a safety switch that shuts off the unit if the line is clogged. Something to look into!

There are Hindu connections on both major presidential tickets this year.

As part of our look at how Texans’ religious beliefs could affect their votes in November, Texas Standard visited a Central Texas Hindu festival to hear what voters are thinking. https://t.co/HHcn7jDlhA

Turnout among young voters in Texas is consistently low. Some think there is a concerted effort to keep it that way.
@iamLeslieRangel of @thebarbedwiretx joined @TexasStandard to talk about the issue.

"Our managers in our store and the corporate system doesn’t really have a system in place that protects employees right now," said REI worker Audrey Goff. "Or if they do have a system, it’s not being enforced."

[Texas Standard (@texasstandard.bsky.social) @TexasStandard]

Across the nation, employees of outdoor retailer REI have unionized or attempted to. Earlier this year, workers at Austin’s downtown REI accused management of union-busting and ignoring workplace sexual harassment. https://t.co/cw8mFUJ666

@nsuri20 Started late. Then one of the guitars had a lot of issues which led to techs messing with the rig in between songs quite a bit. And they redid like 5 or 6 songs, I think because of the same guitar issue.
