Finding God In Science - Spencer Klavan
High quality conversation that covers a lot of ground: science, religion, creation, depression, addiction recovery, homosexuality.
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
Kaley Chiles... the counseling therapist that took down the totalitarian gender policy of Colorado...
Found a little funny…
Also, it’s interesting to see the different narratives around the whole “conversion therapy” thing in Colorado. People want “conversion therapy” to mean only one thing. And that thing is “bad.”
Of course I’d agree that attempts to directly change sexual orientation doesn’t seem to be the best course. But I have friends who’ve experienced a “shift” of sorts when addressing certain unresolved traumas of sorts. But it’s not an exact thing. It’s what makes me think fluidity might be more of a norm.
On another hand, “conversion therapy,” for some, is ANY attempt to live differently from having a same-sex spouse or multiple sexual partners. Like…people pursuing celibacy or marriage to the opposite sex. People want support for those options to be erased, apparently. Or maybe there’s a sentiment of “if you want to live according to your faith, you shouldn’t need therapeutic or psychological help for it.” Like…where’s the freedom ...
