I went to a doctor today who must be in his mid-to-late 80s and had extremely good ratings on ZocDoc. I told him I'd read a lot of good things about him there, and he joked that he'd paid people to do it, adding something to the effect of, "But not as much as Harris paid Oprah to be interviewed by her."
I made this for my friend's daughter who is trying out pottery. I've been making her little instructional videos and this one is a timelapse of me trimming and putting a handle on a mug. Thought I would share in case you guys find this interesting.
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 took Tuesday afternoon off to attend a Let's Go Washington rally at the Capitol building to support two ballot initiatives: fairness in girls’ sports and parental rights in schools. Jamie Reed from the LGB Courage Coalition and Tish Hyman were among the featured speakers. Amy Sousa also spoke at a listening session after the rally. It was a great day!

In a legal first, a jury in New York awarded a 22-year-old woman $2 million in damages over her gender transition surgery that took place when she was a teenager. The plaintiff accused her psychologist and plastic surgeon of violating standard practices that led to her receiving a gender transition double mastectomy that she feels left her disfigured.
