I've been thinking it would be nice to do some in person meetups. Would anyone be interested in getting together in the Seattle area sometime in late Feb or early March? I'm thinking just a hotel bar kinda thing, so we don't have to make a reservation and it would be fine to have as few or as many people as want to show up, but I'm open to ideas.
Someone shared this with me who said it had been circulating in the Hasidic community. Will likely offend a lot of people these days.
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

I appreciated the nuanced analysis provided here. One thing that I found so striking and sad is how younger and younger children are being recruited by the gangs, in some cases even to kill people.
I showed my daughter some public sculpture today. It was metal fashioned to look like wicker and rope.
She said that the artist was a “liar” and that “lying is mean”. I argued, that “is it only ok to make it out of rope or wicker to be a good person? “
“No” she said.
I then was then thinking about this statement, and mentioned this idea of “is it bad to pretend to be something your not”
She said “well only for the sculpture, not for other things”
The other thing obviously is the man she lives with, pretending to be something he is not. “Lying?”
