Our men's closet is nearly empty.

Each day, we provide clean, weather-appropriate clothes to many of our clients, but we are running dangerously low on clothing for men.

If you've been meaning to donate those shorts that you bought in the wrong size, or maybe those extra t-shirts that you never seem to wear, consider this your sign to bring those items and any other clothing in good repair to Tulsa Day Center at 415 W Archer St. We'll accept donations anytime!

Can't make it downtown? Consider ordering some new items (socks and underwear are always appreciated) and have them delivered directly to our building.

Today is the last day to sign up for public comment for next week's meeting.

and a big shartout to Fothergill for her uninspiring mayors report regarding available cooling stations within the city of Tulsa at the city council meeting this week.

🚨 Tulsa Parks Board is considering changes that would significantly limit public participation. 🚨 (surprise, surprise)

Before these changes ever reach a vote, the public deserves to know what's being proposed.

Among the proposed changes are:
❌ Eliminating the public's ability to comment on the accuracy of meeting minutes.
❌ Imposing a 180-day waiting period before the same concern can be raised again.
❌ Limiting each speaker to commenting on only one agenda item per meeting.

These proposals would make it harder for citizens to correct the public record, follow up on unresolved issues, and participate in decisions affecting Tulsa's parks.

Public comment is not a privilege granted by government, it is one of the primary ways citizens hold government accountable.

If you believe Tulsa's Parks Board should be increasing transparency and public participation —not restricting it — I encourage you to contact the Parks Board and your City Councilor before these changes are again placed on any future agenda for approval.

Email dlove@cityoftulsa.org, annaamerica@cityoftulsa.org, or your city councilor

Tulsa's parks belong to the people of Tulsa. The people deserve a voice in how they are governed.

Please share this post so the public knows what's being proposed before it's too late.

https://cityoftulsa.org/media/6672/park-policy-12_1.pdf. <-- they FINALLY pulled down the fake policies off the city website. The ones they have no idea who wrote them, or how they got online. The ones that tweren't approved by the board or council... they're finally fuckin' down off the fuckin website. What an enormous victory. Tonight we celebrate!

But wait, why can they not identify their public policies?

Hint: Because they don't exist. Hey Susan Savage - you about to get the Piso treatment lol. I mean, eventually, probably not right away. But I seent your text messages Susan lol. I seent em and Ima post em Susan. Aint nobody got time for that Susan. Why file a formal complaint when I can just post em Susan. You think we're gonna let you just fuck our parks off? I'm team Anna America personally. She's more bad ass than you, she has more power, she's funnier, she's got more class, she knows when to record something with her phone, she knows how to screenshot a text message, she knows when to leak sensitive information, her name is more patriotic, she's just better than you Susan.

"Tulsa, Okla., Mayor Susan Savage, for instance, stressed maintaining a sense of humor and taking risks." -- Call her Cruisin' Susan bc she's on her way out lol.

IM JUST JOKING Y'ALL - CALM DOWN ITS A JOKE. JEEZ. (i am not joking) ITS A JOKE, RELAX!!!! GOSH CAN'T TAKE A JOKE ANYMORE? ITS A JOKE! (this is not a joke) IT IS A JOKE AND IT IS FUNNY AND THAT IS FINAL.

How incredibly unsurprising.

How incredibly disappointing.

Government agencies are uniquely endowed with the power to implement the public will, and as such, are subject to the highest levels of scrutiny by the people whom they serve. Government officials and employees must exercise great care to avoid even the appearance of impropriety in their duties; for they, like Caesar’s wife, must be above reproach."  -- Supreme Court of Oklahoma, 1986
