I just posted this video on my youtube channel. I really loved this conversation with Mary!
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com

In good news, Had yesterday w the kids and loving being able to bond with them again, and largely for the first time w the youngest @1.5 yrs old. I’m told that being w me is way funner…which helps curve my contempt for the authoritarian wokeness. I am told by the mother of my children in reply to my critique of therapists imbedding Social Justice in their practice;
“ I think you'll find most counsellors practice from an anti-oppression, social justice standpoint, as they should.”

A short one from Yascha Mounk. A helpful reminder to be on guard for how even supposedly "serious magazines" (Mounk's framing) are slicing and dicing the record to frame things to support desired narratives. It's a jungle out there!
