Love it? Hate it? Want to talk about it? Reminder for those subscribed to our synchronous discussion groups - join us for tonight's chat about the movie Wicked at 4pm pacific/7pm eastern. Unlimited attendance for this one but we will stop admitting people after the first 10 minutes. We will chat for 90 min to two hours, depending on interest!
And come with your suggestions and recommendations for future media discussions, too, which we can share at the end of the chat.
I look forward to seeing y'all there :)
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
Our very own @YayRain (after having imbibed some golden nectar), shares with us yet one more problem with CRT....
Just attended some of Sunday mass at the local Roman Catholic Church on my way to work directly followed by noticing this.
In good news, Had yesterday w the kids and loving being able to bond with them again, and largely for the first time w the youngest @1.5 yrs old. I’m told that being w me is way funner…which helps curve my contempt for the authoritarian wokeness. I am told by the mother of my children in reply to my critique of therapists imbedding Social Justice in their practice;
“ I think you'll find most counsellors practice from an anti-oppression, social justice standpoint, as they should.”

A short one from Yascha Mounk. A helpful reminder to be on guard for how even supposedly "serious magazines" (Mounk's framing) are slicing and dicing the record to frame things to support desired narratives. It's a jungle out there!
