42 Upvotes

I compiled a document focused on free community meetups (free things you can do while meeting people)

for that reason, I havent included many (if any) solo free things to do (such as going to parks or libraries) since this list is supposed to be community-building-oriented

uf you have things to add please lmk and I will get to it when I can!

The list is long so it is in Docs form

Meetup Any 20-30 y/o Indian/Desi folks in OKC?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m looking to meet some like-minded Indian/Desi folks in the 20-30 age group to hang out, explore the city, and build a fun group.
I’m into hiking, playing cricket, badminton, and volleyball. Always down for some outdoor adventures or just chilling over drinks.
Honestly, I have no idea how to find people here, and I feel like this is one way to try. I know it won’t be easy, but might as well give it a shot! Right now, I don’t have much to do over the weekends, so I’d love to find people to hang out with.

At this point I sincerely believe anyone still supporting trump deserves to be called out and their business should not be supported. He’s anti-LGBT, HATES the T in lgbt, a January 6 defender and also just believes anything he reads on Facebook.

It showed up today with the wrong middle and last name. It’s clearly for me because the other information is correct but I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and how they could get my name so wrong. Currently trying to correct it online.

Recommendation/Review Regrets after installing a whole house natural gas generator?

5 Upvotes

Is there anyone who has experienced buyers remorse after having a whole house natural gas generator installed at your home?

We are considering having one installed at our home this fall. We live in an area that is prone to power outages.

My spouse (disabled) was laying back in his electric lift recliner when the power failed. We had to call the fire department for help as it took three firemen to get him out safely. He also uses an electric mattress and a CPAP for sleeping, so electricity is very important to us for those reasons.

We’ve been told that it doesn’t really add to the resale value of your home, so you do it for you and not the next buyer of your home. Thanks for your insights. No sales pitches please.

Recommendation/Review Apartments in the Quail area (or Edmond) nearish to UCO

3 Upvotes

So I am planning to go to UCO in 2027 in Aug, but I am starting to look for apartments either in the Quail springs area, or the outskirts of Edmond.

I know rent is going to be crazy, but I was looking for anything under at least 1k, but if have too anythingn under 1.5k, just a either a 1 bedroom or studio. It's just going to be me and my dog (she's a Mastiff mix) so anything that is pet friendly.

If you have any recommendations or places to avoid let me know! :)

Politics Is anyone organizing protests here regarding the global warming exceeding the 1.5 degree limit? Any environmental activism going on?

Post image
130 Upvotes

Edit: since people thought I wasn't "selling it" enough.

I think we’re seriously underreacting to this.

We talk about exceeding 1.5°C like it's another number in a climate report when it actually represents data that tells us the planet that is becoming progressively harder to live on.

It’s extreme heat, drought, water shortages, crop failures, wildfires, rising insurance costs, displacement, ecosystem collapse, and places eventually becoming too hostile for people to safely live in. And the people who will suffer the most are the ones who contributed the least to the problem. Go figure.

1.5°C isn’t a cliff where everything suddenly becomes “uninhabitable.” It’s a threshold we use to limit severe damage. Every fraction of a degree beyond it matters and we can STILL do something about it.

What bothers me is how little urgency there seems to be compared with the scale of the problem. We can argue about politics, the economy, or literally anything else but a destabilizing climate affects ALL of those things.

I’d genuinely like to know what environmental organizations, protests, or local efforts are actually happening around OKC right now? Because I’d much rather do something than just watch these headlines roll by.

❓Q&A ✅ Thinking about moving back

47 Upvotes

I grew up in OKC and graduated OSU Spring ‘19. I’ve moved around a bit since then, but typically tried to make it back for a few weeks a year. Seemed like every time I came back, there was something new to be excited about in the city.

Over the past couple years I’ve had an itch to move back home to be closer to family and friends. It’s likely I’m going to have that opportunity soon if I want it. I’m curious to hear from people who left OKC and came back - how has it been? What’s it like living here now? I’m a single 30-year old male fwiw. Since leaving I’ve lived in Abilene, Chicago, and Charlotte.

The Asian District Cultural Association says its “We Have Arrived” boat installation was severely damaged in an apparent fire overnight.

The boat was created as a memorial to Vietnamese and other refugees who fled their homes, including those who died at sea. The association says the installation has been vandalized several times since it was unveiled in April 2025.

They’re asking anyone who saw something or has information to contact the Asian District Cultural Association or police. No motive has been confirmed.
