Free-range entomologist, gardener, precarious biology instructor, advocate for all things creepy-crawly, slithery, or slimy. In a complicated relationship with Oklahoma.
We've got some amount of structural voter suppression, another quantity of self suppression, and broad ignorance about the importance of voting in local and off-year elections.
Conservatives run pilot studies for their worst ideas here and then take them national.

A majority of Oklahomans never vote. Most of our far-right lunatics get elected in the primaries. "Democrat" is an absolutely toxic label in many districts. If one even bothers to run in the general, they'll be such a no-hoper Democratic voters don't see the point of turning out.

I can't even imagine how uncomfortable _eyelashf stubble must be.

Got my son to haul the trike in the pickup to the bike shop. $65 to true the wheel, replace spokes, and make some adjustments, then i needed another ride to town to retrieve it.
Norman is too small a market to support a mobile bike repair, but if i had that option it would've paid for itself.

If they'll come to you to fix flats, that commuter package seems totally worth it.
I had a flat recently. Spent days waiting on a replacement tire, then my husband spent hours putting it on (and trying to replace spokes), and then the wheel was wobbly.

That's lovely. And so immediately recognizable as İstanbul.

Every day of the short lives of these geese, AWACS planes flew overhead, departing from or returning to Tinker Air Force Base. The geese would hear the plane approaching, look up at the sky, and scream at that plane to FUCK the FUCK off, right FUCKING now.

How completely out of touch do you have to be to give that assignment in 2025?
And why aren't their colleagues/students counseling them about why it's a bad assignment?

Oh, thanks for reminding me about that. Jeesh.
