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

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 ...
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.
