From FAIR:
Dear Friends of FAIR,
We are reaching out to you regarding a critical situation affecting the safety and dignity of female inmates in Washington state. A male inmate, Bryan Kim, convicted of brutally murdering his parents, is petitioning to return to a women’s correctional facility, the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW). This comes after he was previously removed for engaging in sexual activity with a female inmate.
In addition, another male inmate, Nathan Goninan (also known as “Nonnie Lotusflower”), who has a history of violent crime, including the murder of a 17-year-old girl, is currently housed at WCCW. Despite the Department of Corrections (DOC) labeling him as a significant threat and acknowledging his previous infractions for sexual assault, he claims he is being wrongfully held in solitary confinement and has petitioned to be moved to the general female population.
The Washington DOC has a history of capitulating to the demands and legal threats of male prisoners who identify as transgender. We fear the DOC may preemptively grant Kim and Lotusflower their demands, and we must act swiftly to protect the vulnerable population of females at WCCW.
These developments highlight a disturbing trend where violent male offenders are being placed in women’s facilities, endangering the lives and well-being of female inmates. It is imperative that we advocate for their protection by urging the DOC to keep these offenders in appropriate housing—away from female prisoners.
Please join us in signing the open letter below, urging the DOC to protect female inmates and prevent these unjust circumstances. The time to speak out is now—before it’s too late.
Warmly,
The Team at FAIR

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

Kier Adrian Gray offers a perspective I haven’t found elsewhere. Even better, the writing is terrific!

Maybe "neocortical virginity" is no joke

I have a phone friend whom I've never met in person. She and I are both AS(pergers). We have each struggled to connect with others throughout our lives. She and I have each been alienated by our respective spiritual communities as they adopted fashionable wokism with disregard to long held principles. "Based" figures such as James Lindsay, Glenn Loury, Teal Swan, Blair White and Candace Owens make sense to each of us. (Not to say that we agree with everything they say.)
I have shared before that I have often had the sense of being pranked, a la The Truman Show, in my fruitless attempts to talk honestly with people about the actuality of events and trends in the cultural environment. Similarly, my friend tells me that she learned to feel anxious about being rejected or disregarded by others, and to opt for reticence.
I shared some of the recent content posted on this forum - such as the ...
