Austin is never hurting for a good estate sale, but finding the right one (and remembering where it is) can sometimes be a daunting task. Luckily, from 9am-1pm this Sunday you can find all the vintage wares your little heart desires – and some pastries too – all in one place. Captain Quack’s, the best listening room in town that doubles as a cafe, is holding a community garage sale. Whether you’re looking for the perfect end table or trying to get rid of one, buyers and sellers alike are welcome. Reserve a spot to sell for $25 via email to angelarose@quacksbakery.com, or simply show up to dig. If it gets rained out, never fear – June 9 is the backup date. – Lina FisherSun., June 2 -

The Satanic Temple Austin: June Social
Every month, our local chapter of the Satanic Temple holds a discussion on one of the org’s seven tenets. June heralds talk of tenet five, “Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.” Pretty hot-button issue for today’s climate! Come prepared for healthy debate on the topic and, oh, savor the interior of dark mall the Velvet Casket. It, along with sister store the Glass Coffin, will close for good on Aug. 11. – James ScottSun., June 2The Velvet Casket, 3007 N. I-35

AJW Youth Jam at Batch

Thanks to a financial boost from the city’s Cultural Arts Division, jams are scheduled through August: first Sundays at Batch, last Sundays at Central Market South, both at noon. – Kat McNevinsFirst Sundays, noon -

Summer of Service
Who doesn’t want to build up their CV in these trying times? Or perhaps you just want to fill your free time with something other than TikTok? Or maybe you want a behind-the-scenes, hands-on tour of Austin’s best place for sustainable craft supplies? Whatever reason you’ve got, it’s a good time to volunteer for Austin Creative Reuse’s Summer of Service program. Opportunities are abundant, with group projects like fabric rolling, dog toy making, or Funky Fabric Friday – that’s when they process all the weird stuff like purple faux fur or bright yellow vinyl. Sign up on austincreativereuse.org, complete 30 volunteering hours, and earn your Summer of Service certificate. Beats losing eight hours to ASMR slime-scoop videos, I’ll tell you what. – James ScottThrough August 31 -

We Are Blood: Giving Double
We Are Blood – who are definitely NOT vampires in disguise – have totally cracked the case on how to make giving blood even more of a good deed. See, for this month only, whenever you take your juicy veins to a WAB donor center or mobile unit, they’ll donate $5 to your choice of one of three partnering nonprofits. That’s right: Donate blood, and you can give Central Texas Food Bank, Austin Humane Society, or TreeFolks a fiver to do with what they please. And usually what they please is helping our Austin community in various positive ways like keeping peeps fed, nurturing puppies and kitties, and growing big beautiful trees whose shade is sorely needed during this cruel summer. – James ScottThrough June 30Any We Are Blood location
