Good news, Texas. You have a way to solve this problem: secede from the United States. Totally worked before. We even have an old flag you can use. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
I just saw on twitter that the clerks are doing it anyway.
Both the whole state as far as I can tell. Just one County Clerk in Denton.

honestly I love seeing non-American people freak out about the geography of our country
when we say that in America you can drive for 45 minutes and only get to the next walmart we aren’t kidding
I live in the middle of Texas. Halfway between Waco and Austin (the closest two big cities) they’re roughly 1 ½ to 2 hours away, depending on traffic. Dallas is 3 hours, Houston is 4, both can be day trips, I’ve done it before. (As in drive there, do whatever, drive home the same day). If I want to actually leave Texas I’m driving 6-8 hours. Oh and if I want to go to El Paso, which is the far corner of the state from here, it’s 12 hours, which is incidentally the same amount of time to drive to St. Louis, which is about 2 ½ states away.
When I drove to Disneyworld a couple years ago (which is in Florida), New Orleans was halfway. Which basically means that driving out of Texas got me halfway to the east coast.
Texas is big ya’ll.
This is why when I visited Seattle in January I was a bit flabbergasted that I could get from the airport to downtown in 20 minutes. You can’t get anywhere in 20 minutes in Texas.
My kink is being a Texan and saying Happy Holidays to Christian white people and having them passive aggressively reply Merry Christmas to me, knowing that they will go home and write a lengthy Facebook dissertation about the war on Christianity that I’ve begun to wage in my humble Jamba Juice. That really gets me going
can you reblog and tag this with where you live, your native language and the sound you make when calling cats? like what do you say to a cat when you want it to come?

OUT WHERE THE RADIO SIGNALS FADE to static, past where the telephone poles and speed limit signs end, lies one of the loneliest spots on earth: Loving County, where the oil wells outnumber the people ten to one. One hundred and two humans live here, to be exact, making it officially the least-populous area in the nation. “If we have two people with the flu,” says county judge Don Creager, “that’s an epidemic.” The county seat, Mentone (population: 15), is the kind of town you’d miss if you blinked, just a few scattered homes, a short-order cafe, a filling station, a post office, and the courthouse—a boxy yellow-brick building whose interior was lavishly remodeled with Georgia marble and pecan paneling back in the seventies, when oil was flowing more freely. Beyond Mentone, sprawled out beneath the enormous West Texas sky, lie 673 square miles of relentlessly flat land, marked only by bobbing pump jacks and a few shotgun shacks from long-gone boom times, their corrugated tin doors flapping in the wind. No schools, no churches, no banks, no grocery stores, no movie theaters, and no bars. But there’s plenty to do if you’re involved in Loving County’s favorite blood sport: politics. And almost everyone here is involved in politics.
So i was coming home from work and there was this single cloud full of lightning. The video isn’t the best, but you can see it was far enough away that there wasn’t thunder. Before the sun set you could see it was a single thundercloud
