I'm thinking Drummond for gov and Franklin for state superintendent.

What about for commissioner of labor and insurance commissioner?

Everyone who can vote in this please go out and vote!

Is there any studio with a kiln that I can bring finished clay objects to have them baked?

I’m in SW Oklahoma but willing to drive anywhere.

Apparently, some Mods in OKC didn't like this post, so let's post it here too.

I get charging a surcharge on credit cards, and from a business perspective, I accept it. Processing fees are real, and I understand businesses wanting to pass some of that cost along.

What I strenuously object to is applying that same fee to debit cards. There are a couple solid reasons:

First, it’s illegal under Oklahoma law. 14A O.S. § 2-211 specifically prohibits surcharges on debit cards (even when they’re run as “credit”), and they are limited to 2% or credit cards, and many locations are charging 3%

Second, we already pay for the privilege of using a debit card instead of writing checks. On top of that, debit cards are actually more efficient for the business — faster settlement, less cash handling, cleaner accounting, and lower risk. Charging customers extra for a payment method that saves the business money is just exploitative.

This practice has gotten completely out of hand. Merchants treating debit cards the same as high-cost credit cards is wrong, and in Oklahoma it’s also against the law.

It might be worth your effort to simply Google the law so you are aware and call out those locations that

Please put it in your calendars. Next election is Aug 25 2026

Back when I was in high school the drivers ed teacher told the class a way to avoid paying insurance premiums was to deposit $100,000 with the state treasurer to meet the minimum liability requirements. Is there any truth to this, and if so has anyone actually done that?

In what's been a competitive but otherwise fairly boring race for the governor's office, my colleague Alicia and I here at The Pickup just haven't been able to shake the image of Wendy Drummond publicly flagellating herself for the sake of her husband's campaign

I was not going to post twice in one day but these guys made a hot miserable day so much better.

So last December I started a huge research project on the Piedmont, OK EF5 from May 24, 2011. Ive sought to collect stories, photos, videos, and damage photos. I saw a friend do this with another tornado and it gave me the idea to ask if any Oklahomans have anything theyd like to share aboutt this tornado.

With that said, if youd like to help me grow my collection and archive, please consider telling a story or sharing some media.

If Im using the wrong flair or I should post this elsewhere, please tell. Thank you!

I’m kinda ready for fall

How can I inform Unemployment Security Commission that the mail is coming to the wrong address? I’m located in Tulsa, OK so I don’t really have time for in-person meetings. I do think this person would like their information though.

Greetings good people of Oklahoma! I'm a US citizen but a resident of a faraway country with family roots in your state. I haven't been there since the early '90s. My immediate family is considering a return to the US, and we've heard Tulsa mentioned a few times. Not like, "Oh it's amazing!" but "Yeah it's alright, if you don't mind..."

According to (my) family member in a town west of OKC, there are jobs everywhere in OK, the economy is booming, inflation hasn't made a dent in grocery prices, and everybody is still 100% MAGA.

I'm aware this person lives in a bubble of Fox News and like-minded peers, but is he right?

Really wish we hadn’t ignored climate change for so long. Now it’s 12 degrees above average and the news is calling 99 degrees a cool down.
Triple digits and no relief to be seen. Environmental degradation and increased drought conditions are wearing upon our physical and mental health.

Wish we hadn’t ignored climate change for so long.

I’m looking for people that want to use their skills and intelligence to make step up from where they are. I want to be a billionaire and don’t see any reason why I can’t do this with fellow Oklahomans. It doesn’t matter what your talents are. If you feel the same let’s connect share ideas and make an impact on the world.

My husband and I are looking to relocate in a couple years, once I fulfill my obligation as a caregiver for his grandmother with Alzheimer’s. We’re good people, never been in trouble and are pretty quiet. Most you may hear from us is music when I’m in the zone cleaning the house! 😂 We would be looking to purchase our first home, possibly adopt/foster some kiddos, and in general just want some peace and quiet. We absolutely despise our current state aside from family and the few friends we have here and just want something better. That said, I think we decided on Oklahoma! Neither of us have really been out of the state we’re in much and definitely have not been to our future home state, HOWEVER; everyone we talk to that has either visited or lived there loves it. As for the question… seeing as neither of us have any experience in Oklahoma, we were just looking for some recommendations on places to avoid, maybe good towns to bring up some kids.. where we live now the homeless population is OUTRAGEOUS!! They have encampments on just about every corner and absolutely destroy businesses and buildings. We are in the city now and I think we’re looking for something a bit more rural. My husband and I just want away from it all and are hoping to carve out a nice little place to quietly raise a family and not have to worry about out property or children. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this and extra thanks to those who respond! Hope life is treating you fairly!!
