please hear me out

We live in fucking Oklahoma. Our politics suck, our governor is an idiot and our state superintendent hates kids. We are one of the worst states for teen pregnancies, test scores, poverty, teacher happiness, child hunger, and countless others. We have no national parks. We have no natural lakes. We have no other sports but an inactive minor league soccer team and college football.

Really what I'm trying to say is: we live in hell. The Thunder and talking about the weather on creaking rocking chairs on the front porch with a shotgun and a basset hound are all we have. Life in Oklahoma is like life in the old West but more racist and more dispensaries and Subways. And oil rigs. So many damn oil rigs.

Please just give us this one thing. I beg of you please Oklahoma would disappear off the face of the earth if the only thing keeping us relavent, basketball and atrocious conservative policies are the only things keeping us relavent. Even tornado alley is shifting to the east, so we don't even have that going for us.

Please we have nothing but the thunder
