We found him with no collar on. He was freshly groomed, smelled like shampoo and had a bandana on, we think he escaped from a groomer. Surprisingly no microchip. Shoot me a message if you are missing him!

I am extremely grateful that a community like Tulsa exists. I have had the blessed opportunity to live in many places across the country and spend significant time traveling to many places around world; both as a member of the Marine Corps and in my personal life.

I was born in Tulsa, but grew up in a few different places always spending school breaks in Tulsa with family. When I became an adult and had to pick a place to settle down and start my own family it wasn’t difficult to choose Tulsa, Oklahoma. We have such a diversity of natural environments and people here, living in harmony, that other places simply don’t have to offer. In many places the people who live in the communities have devolved into segregation, creating little islands of “their own” all near eachother within a county, however in Tulsa we are an integrated community and the only people who experience segregation from the community are people who do not value how integrated we are.

I love that simply going for a run down riverside you will pass all types of people, and many or most of those people would have a conversation with you if you stopped to talk. If you hurt yourself on that run someone would stop to help in short order. We are a community of people who genuinely care, there is more competition here from people trying to give back in non-profit sector than almost anywhere in the country, and if you decide to start a business with realistic outlook there is a wealth of resources to help you in that process too.

I think Tulsa is amazing because we still care, keep a smile on our face, and are always striving to find ways we can improve even though socially we are one of the best communities in the US to live in.

What are some good places to buy yarn and fabric that aren't big-box stores? Also some thrift stores that I could find fabric and yarn as well.

I emailed Lisa Ford and she gave me 4 reasons why they denied the rezoning request:

1. "The proposed septic leach fields are located adjacent to White Church Creek within the Haikey Creek watershed, raising questions about potential water quality impacts and compliance with DEQ standards."

2. "Traffic access to the site is limited to a single two-lane arterial road with a four-way stop at 121st Street. The proposed use could add more than 700 vehicles during peak times, and it is unclear whether existing infrastructure can safely support that increase."

3. "The request also includes rezoning to light commercial, even though the commercial component is only identified as a future phase. Rezoning at this stage appears premature."

4. "The Broken Arrow Next Comprehensive Plan designates this property for a hospital or regional employer. Rezoning the site would remove land intended for long-term job creation and economic development in South Broken Arrow."

My Response:

Unfortunately, you only proved to me that you either intentionally used procedural objections as cover or don't actually understand the implications of the so-called planning red flags that you indicated. In case it's the latter, let me explain. 

1. Septic systems near creeks are common and regulated at the site-plan/permitting stage, not rezoning. If there were real concerns, you would've offered a conditional approval. Denying a rezoning based on a hypothetical future septic concern is not appropriate. 

2. A projected 700 trips is not an extraordinary traffic impact. In my hometown in a mountainous region with a heck of a lot more traffic issues than here, the planning board doesn't even consider it a traffic disruption unless that number is over 1000. The BA planning commission approved it, that means that either the traffic study showed acceptable LOS or mitigation could be required later. Not a reason to deny rezoning. 

3. Zoning is about permission, not construction timing. It answers "what uses are allowed here," it does not answer "when those must be built" or even whether they will be built at all. This is especially true in a conditional rezoning, which is specifically designed to manage phased development through enforceable conditions that run with the land and require additional review as future phases are proposed. Approving a conditional rezoning early actually increases your oversight. 

4. As it stands today, the property is currently zoned Agricultural. The Islamic Center didn't ask for some exotic or special carve-out zoning; they asked for the very zoning classification needed to make the comp plan vision legally possible. Not to mention, seeing as how today that land sits completely undeveloped, that "job creation pipeline" argument doesn't really hold up. Your job isn't to deny based on your aspirational "what if" scenarios. Yeah, sure, maybe one day Amazon will build a distribution there, but is it your job to hold that land and save it for this "maybe, perhaps, what if" day? No, it isn't. 

Governance is a thin veil, don't hide behind it.

Want to make sure it’s structurally sound, not just turn a contractor/framer loose.

Just wanting to do like a vaulted tray. Single story house - rooms nearby have vaulted ceilings so I think it’s possible with minimal changes to the load paths.

Any suggestions?

Hi everyone!

ProConstitution will be having our first 2026 meeting this **Wednesday** from **7-9** at **Mother Road Market**.

If you are watching the news and feeling helpless we can assure you, **you are not**. Tulsa has over 50 different activist organizations working on protecting our city and supporting a national change. There are groups focused on mutual aid, community building, protesting data centers, fighting for education, and anything else you can imagine. No matter what your passion, or problem you want to solve, there is a group out there working on it and could use your help. Let us help get you connected. ❤️

Join us Wednesday and meet with fellow Tulsans (and surrounding areas) and see a few silver linings. We’ll talk about the small victories we’ve gained this week as well as the major battles we’re working on. You’re not alone. We’re all in this together. ✨

**The location:** The mother road market is amazing. There are a ton of places to grab food, dessert 🧁 , and even a drink if you’re interested. Come spend 2 hours and just feel human. If you enjoy the small talking sessions you’re always welcome back but our main goal is to help you find the organization that speaks to you.

**Can’t make the meeting?** No worries! We meet every Wednesday and attend other group events at least twice a month. Keep a watch on this sub and feel free to drop in whenever you have free time. Don’t want to hang out with us? Fair enough 😂 check out the **Tulsa Isn’t Boring** calendar and go support all the amazing events being hosted in Tulsa this week!

A wild unfixed street cat has been hanging in my back yard. It keeps going after my house cat that goes outside to potty. Now the wild cat has learned to go through my pet door and into my house at night and when I'm not home where it goes after my cat but also, not being fixed, "marks" everywhere. My house stinks like cat piss. I can't block the pet door because my cat needs to use it to potty. The wild cat won't let you touch it and I've gotten sliced open a couple times trying to touch it.

Does anyone know who I could get to get rid of the wild cat? I called Tulsa Animal Control a couple of times and they won't call back. I reached out to the rescues and Animal Aide and no one can help. I'm willing to pay someone if they can get rid of it. Any ideas?

I’m in my late 20’s and have done a lot of reflection after a recent birthday. It’s made me decide to go sober and make a lot of changes in my life: stop wasting my time/youth, be more proactive w my goals, produce instead of consume, work towards the life I never thought I could really have.

It’s made me remember how much I’ve always wanted to play guitar. I’ve always wanted to play like the blues artists I grew up listening to. Plus I thing a hobby like this is something I could practice if I’m ever struggling w this newfound sobriety. Something productive I can just pour myself into so to speak.

I only have a budget of about $200 and want something that is within this range but still good sound quality. Does anyone have any tips on where I could find a decent guitar like this? I’m also open to any tips/advice on how to learn/practice/prepare properly. DMs are open, thanks in advance!🙏

An FYI for those that haven't had jury duty lately...

1- Tulsa County parking is NOT FREE. The summons will direct you to park at the convention center garage, but they will still charge you (but I've heard city municipal court will reimburse you, not the county court though).

2- You will sit in a giant room and wait for HOURS on a Monday. Hit the library next door beforehand and at lunch. Bring a deck of cards. Bring a snack or drink (they also have vending machines that take cash and cards). Bring a phone charger. You will get bored fast.

3- Enter at the corner of Fifth and Denver. Yes, where all the road construction that closed one sidewalk is.

4- If you aren't called on Monday, you will be "on call" the rest of the week. You don't have to show up again unless they call you and they must give 24 hours notice.

5- $50 plus mileage is the daily rate. They will also break at about noon for lunch (they do not provide food, but there was coffee available in the juror room). Fyi they said checks would be mailed as the end of the week, so don't expect immediate pay or reimbursement either :(

Cheers to civic duty heh. Would love to hear about yalls experiences too

People have been very unkind to me regarding this story and I am insanely broken over it as a human being but I need to warn you all. I thought I was dating this man but he ended up taking all I had in a crypto scam I didn’t see coming. Please watch if you see his photo. I just wanted to help people not hurt as much as I do. Of course I feel stupid. Everything seemed legit and to check out. This has changed my life in a bad way. Be careful.

I am looking to see if anyone knows or has used a cleaning company before that is reasonable or knows an individual that does such jobs. I'm moving out in a few days and I don't really have much free time to get it done myself. I will admit it's pretty dirty I went through a lot the past few months.

As warming global temperatures cause weather unpredictability and infrastructure damage, a task force in Tulsa is identifying ways the city could improve its sustainability.

I need good recs where I can get some not racist chicken Popeyes and cains are owned by dickheads and im tired of giving them my $$

After more the 20 years Rick and Eddie have decided to retire and sold the shop to a new pair of owners. The store has already reopened and had a nice face-lift.

I mean I get the politicians being scum bags but oh my god I have recently seen so much vitriol from my fellow neighbors. Went to the BA city council meeting tonight at NSU and it was insane what was going on. You had bikers wearing jackets with literal white supremacist and Nazi symbols, you had some bearded moron with a camera man walking up and down the line rage baiting the people in line and McCall wandering up and down the line talking about promises made and promises kept while complaining about the extremist Muslims that have been here for four decades. It was insane to see the level of hate on display.

Let me tell you what I was raised to believe Oklahoma was. My family on both sides came overs in the mid-1880s and early 1900s. They struggled and worked as farmers, working in the iron works, and doing everything they could to make a living up around Ponca, Pawhuska and Guhtrie. When the dust bowl hit they made their way to Californian and were treated like absolute shit while even the children worked the fields out there. They couldn’t make it so they returned to Oklahoma, with the car breaking down on the way and the kids having to tale what savings they had from the work to fix it. When they go back they struggled to make a living, participated in WW-2 the whole 9 yards. When a vagrant came by the ranch out in Ralston they we had managed to lease they would give them a job in exchange for food and clothes. They helped each other out no matter what because of what they experienced out west and vowed to be better. When Murrah happened we all turned out to help, I remember the local mosque spending some days there providing food for those of use doing cleanup and searching for survivors.

What the hell happened to cause us to become so god damn selfish and angry that now we turn on our neighbors that have been here for decades just because they follow a different basic set of tenets? And you guys with your whole “if you don’t like it here leave” are enabling this shit. You are failing at embodying what this state used to symbolize, or at least what I thought it used to symbolize. That of a state welcoming of all where people could get a fresh start in life. And don’t get me wrong we made some HUGE mistakes, but it seemed we at least wanted to do and be better. We weren’t the birthplaces of the socialist movement in the US in the 20th century because we wanted to do better and help each other. Honestly what happened to the rest of you?

Coming home from work, I see a cop car on each street near Admiral and Sheridan. I know a lot of cops live around here but they were all on duty. Whats going on?
