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....
Interesting survey of college students
"We asked: Have you ever pretended to hold more progressive views than you truly endorse to succeed socially or academically? An astounding 88 percent said yes.
These students were not cynical, but adaptive. In a campus environment where grades, leadership, and peer belonging often hinge on fluency in performative morality, young adults quickly learn to rehearse what is safe.
The result is not conviction but compliance. And beneath that compliance, something vital is lost."
