Or the crisis line.

What happens is that they “triage” you, where depending on how you answer their script you get cops at your door and a trip to hell on earth, or you are on hold for 20 minutes to speak with someone who also is reading a script and doesn’t give a rats ass about you.

Maybe states that aren’t Oklahoma have mental hospitals which are preferable to drinking yourself to sleep, but who knows.

I used to travel a lot in eastern Oklahoma, and left a lot of stickers at gas stations in the middle of bumble fuck nowhere towns. Probably less smiles and more anger honestly, but fuck them. Also did some on a trip to Missouri, where I’m pretty sure it was illegal for me to piss.

“A trans person peed here” stickers in gas station bathrooms/other public bathrooms.

The Giant’s Drink from Ender’s Game always seemed really compelling to me. The emergent gameplay reacted to your state of mind and serving as some sort of arcane test of your mind.

It’s not helping that I just got this ad

They both have a close amount of syllables. A friend gifted me some extraordinary grass and the multiple counts I have made have failed on their account, but both the English and the mandarin have around 18 syllables [CI: 17-19, p<0.05]

What concerns me is that there is already a massive problem with mental health care in Oklahoma being very religious, and this person being a psychology major. This is not a person who would be a safe practitioner for an LGBT person to turn too - they are showing that they are someone who cannot remain professional and separate their work from their personal religious beliefs.

As an OU alum myself, I also am disappointed with that quality of writing from a junior.

Yeah, the Oklahoman could be covering the multiple deaths that have occurred thanks to Oklahoma child protective services not functioning, or the non functioning mental health system. But nah, this is the fucking hot issue all over Okie Facebook.

be lazy college student

don’t want to bother with the readings

write half baked essay I do no research for (which literally says that bullying is not bad “The article discussed peers using teasing as a way to enforce gender norms. I do not necessarily see this as a problem.”)

throw in religious crap so I can make money on the conservative grifter circuit

 

This is a huge meltdown in conservative circles, and considering how spineless the OU administration is, they’ll probably end up nixing the professor. They are currently working on getting rid of the African American studies department as is.

Edit: absolutely bonkers

The way the alt right has been working for the past ten years has been saying something absolutely outrageous, and then claiming it’s a joke/satire afterwords. It’s a way of introducing those ideas into the mainstream while maintaining plausible deniability. They started by “joking” that we should repeal the 19th amendment, but the goal is to shift the Overton window. Any “satire” is a fig leaf.

 
 

I can buy the normally very deliciously painful spicy stuff from Walmart now, instead of the pan Asian supermarket. I’ve noticed that it seems to taste wayyyy less spicy. It feels closer to a hot Cheetos spicy than the proper actually painful way it used to taste.

 
 

The bill, initially approved by Parliament in February 2024 with bipartisan backing, proposed a three-year jail term for persons who identify as gay and five to 10 years for those who promote or advocate LGBTO+ activities.

 

In Oklahoma, the requirement usually is up to “algebra 2” - this is mostly domain and range, finding roots of polynomials, and logarithms.

IMHO, the world would be better if calculus was a required part of the high school curriculum. Like yeah, most people aren’t going to need the product rule in day to day life, but the fundamental ideas about rates of change seem like they’re something that everyone human deserves to be exposed to.

 

Today, Governor Kevin Stitt granted clemency to Tremane Wood. Afterwards, he met with his attorneys for several hours, then began the process of moving off death row. During a routine check, Wood was found unresponsive in his cell by a correctional officer. While settling into his new cell, Wood experienced a medical event that resulted in injuries. Out of extreme caution, ODOC transported Wood to a nearby hospital for further examination. It was determined that Wood’s medical event occurred due to dehydration and stress.

During a phone call with Chief of Public Relations Kay Thompson, Wood confirmed that he '[felt] fine now' and that he 'can't really explain what happened.' He stated that he laid down to sleep and 'must have rolled off his bunk.' The next thing he remembers is waking 'up in the infirmary with [his] head busted and [his] lip busted.' Wood said that the last time he ate or drank anything was during his 'last meal' at 5:22 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12. He also confirmed that no one else was in his cell at the time of the medical event and that he did not do anything intentionally to cause it. After returning from the hospital, Wood spoke with his family and spiritual advisor," Oklahoma Department of Corrections officials wrote in a statement Thursday night.
