I look forward to seeing y'all there :)
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
After the call last night I went down to my local pub for a beer and side of fries. Ended up in conversation with some folk-
first a man who was happy about mandani, and I said
“Really? he’s a commie!”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“Because it’s failed horrendously over and over again”
“Better than the way capitalism is causing the climate crisis”
“That’s largely a psyop, hear about bill gates?”
It ended up with him saying I need to be deprogrammed, and I telling him “back at yah” and we cheersed our beers.
Then a twirly moustache hipster whom overheard our convo starring calling me a bigot etc as I was in the bathroom and the owner/manager was there too and she asked me “how does this affect you” ?
“It’s really personal but I could get into it”
But moustache man kept calling me names and being super rude, and I left, with utter politeness.
Bizarre little slice.
Damn American politics ;)
I pay a not insignificant amount of money for Catholic school to avoid woke indoctrination. My STBX ‘s new roommate is the new public school counselor and is very woke. I am paying to avoid what will now be in my daughter’s HOME. The irony is hilarious and horrendous at once.
I am at the point of giving up. Maybe my stbx and this roomie should have more custody. Maybe my daughter will be happier as part of the dominant culture. Maybe I should go live in Italy as an eccentric expat.
