I’m your MOM FRIEND. Fave sport is happy hour. 70s music. Lover not a fighter but if you want to start some shit, I’ll hear you out. Are you registered to vote?
The Cherokee Nation and Chickasaw Nation signed up to receive federal funds. ANY student (native or not) who attends public school in their reservation is eligible.
Oklahoma (aka Governor Shitty Stitty) has opted out of a summer food program that feeds kids.
Oklahoma is in the bottom 10 in the country in terms of food security.
1 in 5 kids in Oklahoma faces food insecurity.
My mom has passed. Thank you everyone for all the good thoughts, prayers, info, support! over the the last few years’ journey. She always loved seeing your tweets supporting her! LOVED. Merry Christmas. Love y’all. ❤️

They can also say nothing. Their “honesty” is often just their opinion. Is it harming someone? No? They should just keep quiet.
Shout out to Cherokee Nation Businesses for closing all their casinos over the next two days to conserve power. This is what leadership does!

There are a whole lot of Oklahomans worried about taxes over a $400K threshold. Why? Do they think that one day they’ll be earning that? Because they won’t be.
@love4writenword
It’s been proven that the costs of administering the free/reduced lunch program costs more than just providing free lunch for all public school kids. Most schools in my state are 80% or so (+ or -) eligible kids.
@GuidanceDevine
My gut tells me if you want your kid in private school, you should pay for that. Above the green fee (normal taxes everyone pays). That’s the least they can do.
So none of our elected or community stood up to that man? Just let a woman, Dr. Gist, take the lead alone?
Bynum, hope you never run for another office ever.
Our state legislators, too. And every community and nonprofit “leader” regardless of how deep your damn pockets are.
Damn the narcissism is strong with this one. It honestly triggered my fight or flight response. Ooof. I just can’t with men like this anymore. Is it just me, ladies?
Why do all these men think no-fault divorce only means their wife is going to up and leave them?
Do I know any divorced men that are thinking “man, sure wish that divorce process was harder, longer, more expensive and humiliating to get out of” ???
Mom’s obituary published today. We’re laying her to rest Wednesday (viewing) and Thursday (burial). She loved me reading all your tweets of support over the last few years. Thanks, guys. 🥰
If you wonder why i address my state governor as John, not Kevin. It’s because he “identifies” as Kevin. But I’m gonna go off his birth certificate name. Government name or bust, baby.
Simone: If you had to travel to another state to get an abortion, it’s not the worst thing in the world. Hopefully this is very rare occurrence in your life… Buying a bus ticket to go somewhere to get it is not the worst thing in the world.
Anyway, mute me! I’m cool with that. I swear.
My mom loved fishing, OU football, cooking (she was the best!), sports cars!!, and she loved me and my brother.
Seeing this news story about
@CherokeeNation
investing $40 million in their early education/Head Start infrastructure is fantastic! This is what leadership and smart investment looks like.
MY MOM IS AWAKE!! omg this is huge step. Yesterday and today were so down. Thank god for this step and those dedicated team at Saint Francis. After a sad cry earlier it feels good to have a bit of a relief/good cry right now.
FYI: Due to NBA rules, tonight’s NBA TV broadcast of game 4 will be blacked out in the Thunder market. Only way to watch & stream is Bally Sports Oklahoma and BallySports+
Awww! It’s so fucking horrible. I do a have a child AXCSTUALLY. My biggest regret is not getting out before he started beating our son, too. That’s on me. The day my son knocked his dad out to protect me was the end.
We’re $32 TRILLION in debt–we should be having a grown up, hard conversation about how to bring it down. Shutting down the government won’t help us have those talks.
A woman at the doc’s office was listening to her vmails on SPEAKER. One came up that said “Hi Hannah, this is so-and-so from the Tahlequah Police Department…” and she hit that stop button so fast 😂😂😂
Nah, I had to listen to the last three. I want to hear this one. 😎
Mom update: she’s still on ventilator. And just now, 24+ hours later, getting moved from ER to an ICU bed. I know she’s getting great care. But I’m just sharing this to let y’all know the hospital situation. Hospitals are overrun on any given day much less a pandemic surge.
I just discovered honey on cornbread was a thing. Why didn’t y’all tell me? Did I miss this in my southern roots? (We eat sweet cornbread, for sure). Is it Black culture? Creole southern culture? How did this miss me?
In a rare moment, jumped on tinder for two seconds. The number of married Tulsa firefighters looking for a side piece is disturbing. Get your shit together. Nothing changes I stg.
A man who raped me years ago just posted something online making a joke about allegations of assault. I just confronted him in a message. I’m shaking. Scariest thing I’ve ever done. Deep breaths.
Gentlemen, I know it’s fun I signed divorce papers yesterday. But hitting my DMs with stories of your supposedly shitty ex-wife and how she fucked you over is not a flex. My gut is you did not get decimated financially and also you probably fucking deserve it.
Mom update: it’s renal failure. She’s being admitted. Keeping her comfortable and giving meds. She should be okay. Anyway, thanks for the thoughts, y’all. Love you.
Had a house closing/signing today. My ex was just made aware that all the proceeds and check go to me because I’m the the title holder. Wish I could’ve been there when they told him. 🤣😂😂
Yet another holiday season where we have an area police department pulling people over to “surprise them with gifts.” Yeah, um, let’s not do this anymore.
Some think that certain races shouldn’t have to pay taxes while other races do.
I’ve taken a radical position: race shouldn’t play a factor in how much you pay in taxes. If some Oklahomans don’t have to pay taxes, then no one should.

Yeah, you’ve got to file those “notes” online yourself. But they do give you a business card to call if you solve your own robbery!
For all the folks reading my mom’s obit, just know she was also stubborn as hell, passive-aggressive, and played ‘dumb’ on gate keeping family recipes. ❤️
Btw if anyone sees my ex—MIL out and about, would you go slap her for me? That’d be great.
She called the cops on my kid for old warrant and now he’s locked up in Rogers County. Good times, man. What a snitch bitch.
My mom died a month ago tomorrow. Still do not have death certificates from the state. Do you know how much stuff needs a death certificate? C’mon Oklahoma records folks! I’m rooting for you!
My goodness, the defensiveness about me posting at 11 pm I was legally divorced. He’s not going to fuck you. Welp, he might, actually. If you want his digits, lmk. Maybe a good man can tame him. 🥂
In some personal news: my husband and I are getting a divorce.
In hilarious news: he just asked if he could take his bathroom toilet with him (it’s taller than avg) and put in a regular one. 😭🤣😂
Btw, throwing this out there, Chicago has recreational weed. Just walked right in with a valid ID. Gave them sweet, sweet tax dollars from out of state. 🤷♀️ You’d think with major attractions like the BOK Center, huge events, etc. visitors to Tulsa would enjoy that. But noooooope.

just stood up and tried to fight labor leader Sean O'Brien

at a Senate Help Committee hearing after reading his tweet where O'Brien says he'd take him "any time, any place."
My apartment building happens to be an historic building. With a huge fancy staircase. People use the space for weddings. So multiple times per week, like just now, I roll down to get my booze delivery looking like a rabid opossum, smack dab into wedding party photos.

From the bottom of my heart, I’m so sorry this is the case for you. I vote, I speak up, I donate, I care. What can I do to be more helpful in effecting change? 😢
This is ridiculous. Safety nets should not be at the whim of charity. Safety nets should be policy. They are for the public, common good. Just like clean water or highways. Smh
Government is the third safety net after families, churches & non-profits.
Non-profits & houses of worship are the ones holding up families across the nation- Congress should incentivize people to give to them as they continue to meet the needs of their neighbors.
Just on phone with mom for last 1.5 hours. They are safe. My brother WAS there. (St Francis main hospital to be clear). He had wheeled her outside for fresh air when it started going down. Staff ushered them in for lockdown.
@DCbeach805
So happy to hear this! I don’t know you but I’m about in tears. My son was in 1.5 years. I can’t imagine 11. Much love and recovery to all of you. 🥰
My son and his friends hang out at Senior Tequilas occasionally. They joke about a guy they call Standing Dave who is always at the bar drunk and stands the whole time. Hubby and son go tonight. They send me home a pic. It is my ex-husband. My ex is Standing Dave. 😂

@GuidanceDevine
Do we provide free toll roads? Everyone pays the green fee. Everyone pays for their own upgrade. Right? That’s why we aren’t paying for free lunches for all. Parental responsibility. Right?
From now on, everyone who comments on Facebook about the Tulsa Race Massacre centennial with “just move on! More division!” I will be replying with that racist announcer video link.

In the early 90s I watched my friend and neighbor die of AIDS. Now today, I have a family member that lives with HIV and great meds. Heartbreaking so many vibrant souls died.
Story Time: another Tinder edition!
Tinder date. Dinner. Very nice. Fine! Enjoyable!
Get home and Google him. First hit is a news story and mugshot of him for assaulting a police officer. And he is WRECKED in the photo.
Happy dating, sisters and brothers!
